In My Place, Episode 19: Homelessness doesn’t just affect you. It hits the rest of us.

from This Is Nashville · host WPLN News - Nashville Public Radio

From a young age, Colby Keegan said he hoped to "affect positive change." He was homeless when he died of an overdose at the age of 23. His mother, Lisa Wysocky, founded Colby's Army in his honor. Our In My Place series has taken us through the steps of homelessness to housing and beyond. That’s from the first point of contact between a service provider and someone experiencing homelessness — through all the twists and turns to an apartment — and then sometimes doing it all over again more than once.In this episode, which is the season finale, we're spending the whole hour with Wysocky, looking through the eyes of family members of people who have experienced homelessness.Further listening: Get all episodes at the In My Place page or as a podcast on Apple, Spotify or wherever you do your listening Nashville Scene: Best News Podcast: 'In My Place' In My Place is a special project of WPLN’s This Is Nashville, supported in part by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.
