The face of homelessness. [View all]

I know, homelessness is not a topic we discuss here since we have the White House. But I maintain it is a subject we should be discussing, no matter who is the President. It is a subject we must address especially when our party is the ones in the White House.

The Face of Homelessness.

It's easy and common to presume that the people living in boxes on the streets are a product of their own poor decisions.

Sometimes its also true.

But a new campaign is attempting to breakdown the stereotypes usually associated with the homeless and show that, in a post-recession economy, losing your home happens to everyday people.

The video is heartbreaking. These are all purportedly people in one city. Orlando. One city out of thousands in this nation.
