Today I talked with Jeremy Alderson, creator and instigator of the Homelessness Radio Marathon. He was in town for the past few days to determine if Nashville will be host to this winter's marathon. And so far, it's looking very favorable for Nashville. Boy, I really need to take some broadcasting lessons. Of course Jeremy is a pro. You can read more about the marathon at homelessnessmarathon.org

Here I explain how the housing first model has worked for me. Although "Housing First" is a relatively new term, it has always been the method by which I found a way off the streets.

This is an unscripted rant about the demolition of Church Street Park, here in Nashville. The park is closed for renovations and is planned to be reopened in about a month. There is a lot of anxiety among the homeless that this is just another in a long line of abuses and harassments, of homeless people, by the city and the Nashville Downtown Partnership.
This podcast was originally recorded on the 29th of August 2007. But, it had taken me some time to figure out how to do this, to learn the technology, etc. So this comes a few days late.
Watch for Gail Kerr's column this Sunday, Sept 2nd, in the Tennessean, about the Church Street Park. She asked me to give a statement, and interviewed Parks Dept personnel as well, so it should be an interesting read.

I first became homeless in February 1982, and I've been in and out of homelessness ever since. I suffer from depression, anxiety. I have been blogging about my homeless experiences since August 2002. I was born and raised in San Diego Ca. I now live in Nashville Tn.
