Homelessness marathon tonight

Please tune in to WCOM-FM, 103.5, Carrboro's community radio station, tonight starting at 7 p.m. for our local version of the 11th annual Homelessness Marathon, a nationwide event this year coordinated by a Nashville station. During the 8-9 p.m. hour, I'll be on with Carrboro mayor Mark Chilton to talk about the local government response through our Ten-Year Plan and otherwise. Other guests will include Lorrie Tucker and Chris Moran of the IFC as well as two IFC clients. At 10 p.m., over to Nashville and more stories of the lives and lessons of the homeless among us.

Organized by Audrey Layden, who wrote beautifully about it in Sunday's Chapel Hill News.

We welcome your phone calls. Live streaming.
