More than a dozen members of Columbia's unhoused community take the final shuttle of the morning from Room at the Inn to Turning Point on Dec. 20, 2024, in Columbia. Rick Mehlberg, who drove the shuttle, said he sometimes has to get "a little bit bossy" with riders. "One day last week, I had a lady refuse to get on the shuttle, even though I had like eight empty seats," Mehlberg said. "And I got back here, and she steps in front of me on the shuttle and says, 'You got to take me over to Turning Point.' I said, 'First of all, I don't have to take you anywhere. And secondly, I told you to get on, and you refuse to get on.' I said, 'It's only about a mile, I guess you'll have a good walk.' Sometimes you gotta treat them like children."

Chronically ill and unhoused: 'It's not easy out here. I wouldn't wish this on anybody.'

Amy is an unhoused woman in her 50s who we met at Room at the Inn, the local overnight shelter in Columbia. She spoke about some of the challenges of trying to take care of her health while living on the street with chronic illnesses.
