Office of Homeless Services Under Fire, ICE Scaring Kids, and Tiny Hyenas

The Office of Homeless Services may now be facing a formal audit due to millions of dollars in financial irregularities within the department. Independent journalist Mike Lacy — who recently broke the news of a fire at Strobel House, Nashville’s permanent supportive housing facility, and the resignation of the director of Depaul USA, its management company — joins host Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek to explain how we got here. Plus, ICE is keeping kids out of school, the zoo has tiny hyenas, and Fridays by the River is BACK, baby, not a moment too soon.
