For unhoused people in Middle Tennessee, many services are located in the Nashville city core — which can be a lengthy distance from campsites, family, and friends. Mobile Housing Navigation centers are designed to meet people in the communities where they’re living. One small church with a big building uses their space to provide temporary shelter to people in Madison.
This feature is part of this full, live, episode of This Is Nashville. I interviewed and pre-produced the scene, pitched the live show, booked all guests and helped with host script.
