Today is my last day at NPR's Midwest Newsroom. What a ride it's been. Incredibly grateful to this team for the past three and a half years and to the people who let me tell their stories.

Just now waking up from last night's embed with a Point-in-Time Count team in Jefferson City. They wrapped up their work in the early morning and told me they found a few more unhoused folks after we parted ways. An eye opening experience.

A break at the gas station and they're back at it. Here's Ashley Brandmeier, who runs Missouri Cares, discussing leads on where the team can find more folks.
