These are all faces of people whose lives are touched by homelessness. Some of these faces may surprise you. They are not similar in age or race or gender, and they do not share a common story that has brought them to this point.

Homelessness does not define them as people. It simply describes a stage through which their life journeys will take them.

But each of them – like each of us who see their faces – have hopes and dreams for better times ahead..........for health and happiness, for basic necessities for themselves and for their families.

Perhaps we are not so dissimilar, those whose faces we see and those of us who contemplate them. In fact, if circumstances were different, might not each of us find ourselves here?
