| Video Discription | Meet Eric, a hardworking individual stuck in an unforgiving cycle of homelessness in Grants Pass, Oregon. Despite holding a part-time job at a pizza place, Eric is unable to escape the relentless criminalization of homelessness that plagues the city. Grants Pass has made it illegal to be homeless, forcing individuals like Eric to move their encampments every three days. This harsh reality, combined with the challenges of paying child support and trying to save money, makes it nearly impossible for Eric to get back on his feet. Eric's story highlights the absurdity of criminalizing homelessness. As the homelessness crisis grows, so do the encampments, exacerbated by policies that push people from one park to another. This constant upheaval not only destabilizes lives but also strains community resources. Grants Pass, Oregon, has come under intense scrutiny for its harsh criminalization of homelessness, particularly highlighted in the Johnson v. Grants Pass Supreme Court case. This landmark case challenges the city's policies that effectively make it illegal to be homeless, such as ordinances prohibiting camping in public spaces and the issuance of fines and citations to those without stable housing. The case has ascended to the Supreme Court, symbolizing a critical moment in the national debate over how cities handle homelessness. Advocates argue that criminalizing homelessness only exacerbates the problem, leading to larger encampments and further marginalizing an already vulnerable population. The case underscores the urgent need for compassionate, evidence-based solutions like affordable housing and support services instead of punitive measures. The only way to truly eliminate homeless camps is to support evidence-based solutions like housing and comprehensive support services. Eric's resilience and determination amidst these challenges are a testament to the need for compassion and real solutions, rather than punitive measures. Watch Eric's emotional journey and understand why the criminalization of homelessness is not just ineffective but inhumane. Join us in advocating for policies that provide real support and housing, not just tickets and harassment.

Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, childhood trauma, lack of a living wage, or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness. We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness. This isn’t just talk. Our groundbreaking educational content reaches millions of people every month. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you. However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don’t take action now.
