Deep dives
The Experience of Being Homeless on Skid Row
In a documentary, I lived on Skid Row in downtown LA for nine days to shed light on homelessness. Skid Row is the largest area in America with a high concentration of homelessness. I learned that not all homeless people fit the stereotypical image - many are regular folks facing financial struggles. Chronic homelessness only makes up about 23-26% of the homeless population. It was an eye-opening experience that challenged my preconceived notions.
