On Wednesday this week, my students and I worked with several unhoused persons who had been recently living in dangerous, unhealthy apartments or homes in our community of Indianapolis. One, a young mother of a toddler with another baby on the way soon, had just left a home where eight people across three generations were living. The house had no central heat, so space heaters were the only source of warmth during a month where the temperature dipped below zero for several days. Those heaters and everything else electrical in the house were linked to a complex web of extension cords connected to a solitary working outlet.

This just breaks my heart into shreds! Despicable events here!
