There is so much to say about this global and human rights crisis. The flaws of the U.S. system has allowed for many demographics to be at risk or to experience homelessness. Economic hurdles, physical and mental health, addiction, race, sexual orientation, are a few of the many factors that can contribute to many people's situation when becoming homeless. The stigma around people living through these experiences has allowed for many to distance themselves and create bubbles separated from these realities. Josh Guerrero (IG: @bjoshg), as a social worker with over 10 years of experience in many fields regarding social justice, joins us in this conversation as we explore the many different circumstances that are affecting the homeless population and people at risk of becoming homeless in the U.S.. Continuing last week's conversation examining another aspect in which COVID-19 has affected a situation for the worse. We also provide some information on how you can easily contribute in helping ease the collective pain which is homelessness.
