In My Place, Episode 1: Homelessness facts and faces
In My Place educates listeners on what cities like Nashville can do to prevent and end homelessness — while caring for our neighbors who are still unhoused. We talk to guests about everything from best practices to worst failures and hear from people who intimately know the complexities of having nowhere to go. This series, thanks in part to support from Pinnacle Financial Partners, highlights how affordable housing affects each of us — even when we think it doesn't.
Guests:
• Dr. Marybeth Shinn, Vanderbilt professor
• Dr. Margot Kushel, USCF professor, Director of the Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative
• Vicky Batcher, Neighborhood Health board member
• Jamie Villegas, Homelessness Planning Council member
• Deirdre Nicole Childress director of communications, trauma services and case management for Gideon’s Army
• Liz Mallard, former outreach worker
