Nashville opens its first permanent supportive housing development
Nashville’s first permanent supportive housing development for individuals experiencing homelessness opened after a ribbon cutting at the Jo Johnston Avenue facility on July 18. The Strobel House, named for the late Father Charles Strobel who died last year, has been years in the making.

Simply because that’s the way people act toward the poor.
I’m sitting here wishing things could be better. My luck here lately has not been good with selling papers. I think my injury might have a lot to do with it.
