Homelessness, mental illness and substance abuse are often intertwined in Wichita

Micky Maddux encounters people who are homeless three to 10 times a day. She does not live or work in a shelter or sleep on a sidewalk. She’s the owner of an art gallery in Wichita’s Old Town Square. She’s cleaned their urine and feces off her gallery front in the morning, been accosted and heard their shouting. “Sometimes it’s not always aggressive,” Maddux said. “Sometimes it’s heartbreaking.”
