The Faces of Homelessness

Hundreds of people in our region face the prospect of homelessness every day. Every homeless person has a unique story. Many lose housing due to a financial crisis caused by a job loss, health emergency, or the end of a relationship. Some struggle with physical disabilities, mental illnesses or substance use disorders. Watch this video to meet some of the faces of homelessness.
