WBIR’s Alison Morrow is doing a series on residents of permanent supportive housing (PSH).
The third installment in the series, which aired on May 24, continues with its three subjects, Robert Carmichael, Emmett Howard, and Shaun & Sue Buckarma. The first story ran in February, and you can watch it here. Click here to watch the second story.
The idea behind this series is to give viewers an opportunity to get to know more about some of the people in our community who are rebuilding their lives in 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 Alison Morrow’s in-depth and interesting reporting.
