The Living Room is a city-funded program to help people on the worst day of their lives.
Adults in crisis show up under the soft blue light on Magazine Street to receive the kind of bare necessities that are easily taken for granted: shampoo, toothpaste, a cool place to sit and a warm conversation with someone who understands you.
In under two years, the Living Room has already served thousands. But last week, Metro Council passed a budget that eliminates funding for the new program.
