Russel who was recently incarcerated for several months and has been staying at the Nevada Cares Campus is hoping for a better 2024 for himself.
“I’m going to get around it,” he says of his predicament.
A caseworker is helping him and he says he’s following the plan he's been given to get back into housing to the letter.
He urges politicians to let people get stable in order “to get them on their journey.”
He says he’s been a musician, playing the keyboard among other instruments.
Russel says he’s retired but can’t get his benefits yet.
He waited several days before getting a bed at the Cares Campus compound, where he’s now been staying for nearly a month, and remains optimistic for a turnaround.
