Joshua McCombeβs story is a powerful reminder of why housing solutions like rapid rehousing matter.
Weβre grateful for the dedication of case managers who work every day to help families navigate complicated systems and find a path forward.

The subway would have gone from the East Side's Red Bridge to Olneyville - and from North Main St. to Trinity Square in South Providence
It would have cost less in today's dollars than RI is spending to tear down and rebuild half the Washington Bridge

Amazing work from @WheelerReporter here showing the real human impact shelter has for the people who need it. At 75, Sharon Lewis was sleeping on a park bench at night until she was brought to the new Open Doors shelter in Woonsocket.
Sharon Lewis shared her story with me of getting kicked out, being unable to afford any housing, and then living in the park in Woonsocket.

A new homeless shelter is open in Woonsocket. I talked to a woman who was moved into the shelter from the park and the man who brought her there, also living at the shelter.
