WBIR’s Alison Morrow is doing a series on residents of permanent supportive housing (PSH).
The first story ran on Friday, and you can watch it here.
Click here to watch the second story.
The idea behind this series is to give viewers a window into PSH, which is such a critical part of our community’s strategy to end chronic homelessness.
What keeps a person living on the streets for years? How big a factor is mental illness? Addiction? What difference does it make to have a safe, secure place of one’s own? What about the role of case managers? How does housing with support change the life of a person who’s been on the street for long time?
Stay tuned. This series should touch on all of those questions, and more. We appreciate WBIR’s interest, and Ms. Morrow’s excellent work.

“The idea behind this series is to give viewers a window into PSH, which is such a critical part of our community’s strategy to end chronic homelessness.”
The linked edition of the series did no such thing. Why not get specific on existing locations and area and how they are working out for the surrounding neighborhoods and PSH residents?
“The first story ran on Friday,…”
It’s just the first of what we hope will be several stories that will make up a series.
