Very special to have a story shared with West Virginia readers again. My heart, my home! While I was reporting, I was thinking about the quick response teams back in WV and how amazing it would be to see this kind of care extended to Appalachians. Thanks for sharing @WV_Watch
So happy to feature this powerful reporting by my dear friend @LaurenMPeace via WV Watch: "The idea: Get addiction medication to people who need it by meeting them where they are. Sometimes, that’s on the street. Sometimes on the steps of a modest home..." westvirginiawatch.com/2024/04/02/a-p…

Great reporting by @LoriKerseyWV on the current situation facing the homeless community here in Wheeling. Important to note, there have been overdoses at this site but ZERO deaths. It’s the first winter in years where a spike in unhoused deaths didn’t occur.
