The following interview was conducted by the non-profit Invisible People. As you watch this video, reflect on this man's experience:

1. What are his struggles on the streets?

2. What does he believe would've helped him?

3. What attitude does he express?

Here is a documentary produced by French creators. They come into America and examine poverty around the country. The film shows an outside perspective of the struggles that millions of Americans face, particularly when it comes to housing.

The first section of the documentary shows the way in which some Americans are dealing with the rising cost of housing by living in their vehicles. Later sections examine the eviction process and the rising costs of healthcare. 

This article provides an overview one of the largest surveys of homeless people conducted recently in America. While reading through the article, note the way in which certain assumptions about the homeless are debunked. Also note the ways in which these people could be helped (particularly when it comes to homelessness prevention).

While watching this video, notice the ways in which different churches and organizations come together to provide for the unhoused. Specifically, note how these community supports are designed to foster relationships between volunteers and those being served.
