On the Outside in Chattanooga, an ongoing conversation with the men, women and children living on the street in Chattanooga and the people who're daily doing all they can to help find them a home, has expanded to an hour.
In this first hour-long show, we talked to some of the people who daily criss-cross the city and the county, offering solace and support to the homeless.
We also talked to the former Mayor of Chattanooga, Ron Littlefield, about 11th Street and the "campus" for the homeless that he began creating in the early 2000's and his continuing efforts to help the homeless in the city.
We also talked to Merri Mae Williamson. Ms. Williamson represents the residents of the neighborhood surrounding 11th Street who are opposed to expanding the services for the homeless on 11th Street, particularly, an overnight shelter.
