Thirty years ago, housing activists began an unusual experiment to help people struggling with homelessness and chronic addiction. They decided to get people into housing first and then try to help their clients with their addictions.

Today on The Sunday Story, we look at the controversy around Housing First and consider if the strategy is working as it was designed.

There are at least two million people in America who have thoughts and ideas they can't put into words.
People who have had strokes or traumatic brain injuries often live with aphasia: difficulty using language, both written and spoken.
But music mostly originates in the undamaged hemisphere of the brain, and people with aphasia can often sing. Today in our bonus episode, in partnership with the podcast Rumble Strip, we meet a member of The Aphasia Choir of Vermont.
