A Work of Art in Constant Evolution
“This is the story of the homeless in America. Not about the homeless but from the homeless.” William Edwards
There are those who believe that the homeless bring on their own misery. That anyone with any motivation would be able to work themselves out of a homeless situation. However, many of the homeless population are simply victims of domestic violence, illness, structural unemployment, or a series of events that devastated their former working or middle class lives. Many are simply the working poor. Lacking skills and contacts, they trudge daily for minimum wage and low level positions. The American homeless are a group of people who are constantly marginalized and overlooked. Most people just go about their daily lives not even thinking about those individuals who are down on their luck and forced to live on the street.
