• The messy truth about Housing First is that it doesn’t always look pretty. This young man is 22. He started using intravenous drugs at 15 after his best friend died by suicide. He uses to escape pain. Not because he’s a bad person. Because he’s a person in pain. His room is messy. Some people may find this disgusting.

• Imagine being homeless, nine months pregnant, and going into labor on the streets. You need an ambulance. You need medical care. You need someone to help.

In this clip, Mary Francis Kenyon, Chief Equity Officer at the National Alliance to End Homelessness, talks about the challenges facing rural communities, but this is just a small

• It’s “Public Space” Until a Homeless Person Sits Down More than 40 public benches have disappeared from Nashville over the last decade. Why? Because homeless people were sitting on them. So people started building them back. A Bench for Everyone is a beautiful act of grassroots advocacy. Volunteers build and paint colorful benches and place them around Nashville, giving people something incredibly basic that most of us take for granted: a place to sit and rest.
