    Your voice can help end homelessness. If we do not fix the affordable housing crisis, homelessness will continue to get worse. Click here invisiblepeople.tv/getinvolved to tweet, email, call, or Facebook your federal and state legislators to tell them ending homelessness and creating more affordable housing is a priority to you.

      It makes me so angry that people think you don’t care about these people. I see so many comments of people saying that you’re only doing this for the views. But I know that you do this to spread awareness. Bless your soul

    This gentleman needs a home where he can also store his belongings & art. In L.A., it's incredibly difficult to get an apt. without the red tape. Landlords now subject applicants to credit & background checks + a non-refundable application fee with no guarantee for approval & they need proof of steady employment or income. Tiny homes are great solutions for 2 occupants, but they're designed for 2 strangers sharing spaces large enough to sleep in & not much else. there's a long waiting period for low income housing, so it's easy to give up & live on the streets. I'll pray for this man's success.

      Really there should be an artist in Los Angeles who can help creative people who are living on the streets help display their work. There needs to be more stories like this that feature artists, musicians, writers and poets who are currently living on the streets of Los Angeles and trying to get by and keep their artistic pursuits alive while being put in a tough situation in life.

    How do you mentally prep yourself with being completely homeless (as in sleeping outside)?
    I was almost in this situation last week. Hotel money ran out and I thought I would be outside. My roommate's family didn't want me being there at first. I was upset to the point I was crying. Yes men do cry. I was mostly upset with the fact I have never been in that situation before. I was also concerned about being attacked and my stuff being stolen as I slept

      Having a plan helps. Start now if you can in case you are in that situation again. Figure out where you can sleep, shower, use the bathroom, charge your phone. If you can find a few dollars get yourself a PO Box. Many, but not all places will accept that as an address. Knowing your plan in case you end up outside can make the situation feel less unbearable and more temporary

    It's great when those in need can help others in need.

    How is it possible that there are people such as this gentleman having to live without a roof over their heads or on tap running water whilst there are other disgustingly rich people who avoid huge taxes, don’t pay their dues and wouldn’t even think to donate some of that unpaid tax to organisations that help people in this position.
    The pursuit of money, wealth and products at all costs is the ruination of an embracing society. Shame on the people in power who allow this to happen.

      @@IIII...... I work with people who suffer from mental health issues and many are often homeless and you wouldn’t even believe some of the circumstances that many people have had to endure. What you appear to be implying is that mental health issues, homelessness and/or addiction is entirely the fault of the sufferer but the very real truth is is that people like you are exactly why the world is on fire and the less off are left to scratch around eeking out and existence, and sadly, people with your attitude couldn’t give two $hits about people at the bottom of the pile. In your world, people like this deserve the poor life they inhabit because they made poor lifestyle choices. It’s black and white, without nuance. Druggies, bad, people like you, good. If only it was that simple.
      As for the ‘don’t play dumb’, how about don’t play a cliched, thoughtless smug, cretinous inane member of some form ‘humanity’.

    No American should be on the street when our government is housing and feeding illegals and immigrants!
    This is intentional suffering of Americans by our government.
    Until people figure out that when you put the left in power, this is the results. You look at any city run by the left and it always looks like a 3rd world country. When you look at any city run by the right you see hope and harmony. Every time the left is in power, they enrich themselves.
    From the very beginning of America the left has always wanted 2 classes; rich and poor. When ever you see a country with 2 classes, the poor suffer tremendously. That’s one of the reasons why the Republican Party got started but the main reason was to “stop slavery”.
    But by the 1970’s/1980’s, the left figured out a way to bring back slavery legally. They allowed wealthy companies to put their factories on prison property so they can manufacture their good’s for practically free. That’s SLAVERY! And what race gets put behind bar’s the most with longer sentences? Yep!!! You guessed it right!
    But all the poor people are slaves when the left is in power but that one “group” of people I was just talking about has always gotten it the worst under the left’s regime.
    I used to be on the left because I believed what they were saying till I started really looking into it. The last time I voted left was for B.C.
    The only reason why I wrote this is to wake you up because if you’re not rich, it’s only a matter of time before you’ll be setting up your cardboard box to this kind soul. GOD bless this man and may GOD bless you to and may HE open your mind to the truth.
