In this episode of Voices of Homelessness, we share another success story from client Chuck. From spending nights sleeping in his car, to being securely housed in beautiful Tiverton, RI -- Chuck shares his journey from homeless to housed. Chuck shares his son's struggle with mental illness which ultimately lead to Chuck losing his housing multiple times and his son being incarcerated. He speaks to his own mental health in dealing with the turmoil of housing instability, and describes the toll homelessness takes on an individual.
