Check out Project WHY
Project WHY aims to facilitate genuine empathy through understanding homeless people’s individual stories. Nobody is inherently homeless. Everybody has a story & everybody has a WHY. Project WHY allows individuals experiencing homelessness to tell their stories about WHY they are where they are while restoring humanity’s empathy toward homelessness in America.
