NBC10 Philadelphia presents “Faces of Homeless Youth: The Silent Pandemic” “There are hundreds — maybe thousands — of young people who are homeless on the streets of Philadelphia. They are mostly invisible. You pass by them on the street; sit across from them on the train. They go to school and work, but don’t have a safe place to sleep at night.”

In this week’s video we meet a woman who lets us know what keeps her going while making a home for herself under a bridge. Living Under a Bridge.

In this week’s video we meet a single mom who tells the story of years of providing for her two school-aged daughters while living in their van.

In this week’s video we meet a family of six – a mom and dad and four young children who are just about to be evicted from the one hotel room that has been their home.

In this week’s video several people experiencing homeless answer the question, “What
is your story” asked by an interviewer from “Invisible People” which is an American 501 non-profit
organization working for homeless people in the United States. The organization educates the public about homelessness through storytelling, educational resources, and advocacy. (The stories for the next three Wednesdays come from the “Invisible People” project.)
