Aging Matters

Unhoused

Season 1 Episode 25

Homelessness is on the rise in Nashville, Tenn. Between 2022 and 2023, there's been an 11% increase among those experiencing homelessness. Many of these individuals are over the age of 50, and they are experiencing health conditions decades earlier than their housed neighbors. At the heart of the problem is a lack of affordable housing, and low-income people are paying the price.
