There are many human services agencies in the area I hope to work
after graduating, Nashville, Tennessee! Nashville really struggles with
the homeless population, the homeless teen population, and the drug
abuse among the homeless of all ages as well. Due to these being a
problem and Nashville being a huge tourist spot, there is a massive
struggle for affordable housing, and for available foster homes for the
amount of children being born on the streets.
