Your voice can help end homelessness. If we do not fix the affordable housing crisis, homelessness will continue to get worse. Click here invisiblepeople.tv/getinvolved to tweet, email, call, or Facebook your federal and state legislators to tell them ending homelessness and creating more affordable housing is a priority to you.

@@maxsweetman6341 ,Maybe but fixing our relationship with God and everything gets fixed ! This is what I have experienced. I was walking on the broad road to hell and luckily a chance meeting with a blonde preacher from the Greek orthodox church and I eventually changed, repented and started living in God's commandments. After that its relatively simple as God genuinely looks after you. Do not take the vaccine. Jesus have mercy on me a sinner.

Several years ago I was going to the store to buy a can of soda, there was an elderly couple with a shopping cart full of their belongings in a garbage bag. They were trying to figure were to sleep for the night, it was during the winter season & it was cold outside, I got my soda & left, but my heart felt heavy with sadness. I told my then husband of what I saw & busted out crying, we drove around looking for these people & finally we found them, we took them into our apartment & feed them, gave them towels so they can take a nice hot shower. We put them downstairs in our kitchen (it was a large kitchen). With an air mattress. They cried & cried because they were grateful, ( I cried myself to sleep). The next morning I decided to take the day off work & called all these shelters with no luck, my husband & I decided to let them stay for a while until we were able to get them the help they needed. Some folks Criticized us for letting strangers in our homes others were happy we did help. I did it because I was once homeless too with a 7 year old child & a friend opened her doors to us, so you never know someone's situation unless you have walked in their shoes. Thank you for being a beacon & putting the spot light on this senseless situation.

That’s right- people bark off cruel comments like “ get a job,” or “get away from my neighborhood” or “lazy good for nothing “ and they no NOTHING about these peoples lives& what most of them endured, I’m so sick and tired of humans judging , those people should take a long look at themselves instead of others so they can feel strong. That’s a false way of making oneself feel better fir sure. It’s sick.

I had a homeless guy sleeping outside my place, instead of calling him homeless I told everyone he was my security guard. Eventually he ended up getting hired as a security guard by a nearby business that decided whatever I was paying they would beat it. They gave him a trailer to stay in and pay him to be there when they are not.

@@firstlastname7437 I parked at the ymca up till yesterday. Only from 9-4pm was in there. I would get in the back seat becaus e the windows were tinted and roll down the front windows and crack the back. They have two parking lots. One they neglect and its overgrown, floods has snakes and trash. This is in the business area like this. Police came and knocked on my window and told me YMCA did not want me parking there and I needed to leave or my car was going to be towed. People who do not go to the ymca park and leave their vehicles all the time. The only thing I can think of is people come up to the car and start looking in becaus ethe windows are down and then say they didnt know someone was in it and walk off. I had an old man do this to me. Why does it bother people if someone's windows are left down? The truck was never parked the same or even there everyday. IDK. But summer in alabama is a death sentence. We have tried to buy a camper like yesterday only to have them sell it to someone else after hauling but there. Also had a guy pick a women who owned a rv lot and rented dozens of them out sell her a camper over us. If someone told me they were homeless in would feel better letting them buy it since its the same price. Yesterday I cried over the one we got the run around on. We showed up to a bunch of people in the yard and it already being sold and gone. I told the guy we were homeless. If we had known it was a copetition we would not have bothered. Talk about a jerk. It was a 2012 for $3500. People are hateful about this camper thing. A homeless guy was trying to buy one and u could see the messages on marketplace. He said he is homeless and living in his truck could he makes $300 payments till he paid it off. It was $1000 and completely torn up. This woman who is standing in front of a brick home with a professional photography profile swoops in and says well i will give u a $1000 cash now. Im so mad about the camper thing because it seems people have no morals or empathy anymore just to give us the chance to buy it. We have the money. Omg right now about to pass out. I have sweated so much it has gotten my phone wet. Its so hot. And in a car.

Wish a Bob Wells had been around 50 years ago for me as a young woman. My parents abandoned me and I had no other family to help me. There were no social programs to help. I worked and bought a small car and rented a couch from a couple in their apartment. Three times I ended up living in my small car, always in hard Colorado winters. I had never even been camping so I was suffering a lot because I didn't know anything. I was mistreated on jobs so badly that even as bad as living in my car was, I'd walk out and find another low paying job. It took a decade of suffering and working seven days a week to climb out of this nightmare, but today after selling my business, I live in my oceanfront dream home. If I could do it, anyone can.

I prepared myself knowing that the day would come when I could no longer afford rent .I bought back van did the best I could to make it home, but it is my home and I'm very grateful for what I have .there are no safe parking programs in my area , I lock up next to my 100lb dog and pray I dont get robbed or worse hurt by someone. The homeless problem is going to get worse every single day. What can be done? There are too many people to help . All I want to say is to PLEASE be kind to others and not judge someone sleeping in their car or on the street. Every situation is different and most people you see sleeping on the sidewalk have given up ALL hope. To anyone reading this PLEASE hold your head up high and never give up.

Ha! Funny you should say that. Literally 10 minutes ago I was thinking exactly the opposite! Laying in my sleeping bag thinking, well I've got more space, I can stretch out better, go to toilet easier, and use free wood to cook and heat water. And do some foraging. I'm lucky, I can use my car, or put a tent up, and for now I just feel safer and better off tucked away in the woods. The car is a mile or so away, I drop off my kit, take the car away to park it, and walk back to camp. I'm 64 and just feel that the bit of extra space and ability to stand up inside is better for me. I'd rather have the car close by, but that's not possible and would draw attention. I'm in the UK so it's very difficult to maintain a lifestyle like this. The main problem is not having an official address. That is the most difficult problem to overcome here.

This is why I will always have a car big enough to sleep and live in, always work when I don't feel like working, always be trying to earn more, always try to minimize overhead costs like rent and spending, try and live cheap. It can happen to anyone. Really well done and the man who runs invisible people is just an angel to bring so much attention to this ever growing population of people. Think of the lives Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos could have set straight if they'd forgone their space tourism plans and just invested in people who really need it. I would challenge them to put as much money into helping homeless people find affordable homes and jobs as they did into their childish space hero dreams.

I usually parked at night in a new neighborhood that was under construction. Cops bothered me few times while I was asleep, but I wasn't breaking any laws so they would always let me stay. Finding shade during the day is hard too. I would park in a free public garage during some hot days. On nice days, I'd park in a public cemetery under a tree. Luckily, I'm in an apartment now. But the loss of friends and family that believe being homeless is a personal failure is tough.

I was homeless twice and I lived in a tent for 2 yeas. My parents were very abusive and they never went to prison. 2 of my baby sisters were murdered, 2 of my brothers died of an heroin overdose and my sister died of a life if alcoholism. 4 years ago I was planning to kill myself on my 50th birthday, but then I learned it only takes 1 DAY to LISTEN TO N.T. Bible. In just 1 day The Truth completely set me Free!! I used to be a Homeless, suicidal, drug addicted, murdering, gay, prostitute, with multiple personalities, because I was kidnapped for sex trafficking as a Runway; my family never report me missing. I was a total hypocrite in the Church for 48 years and I was "WILLFULLY" Sinning / Acting Out every single day, so I never experienced any lasting freedom through the Church, 12 Step Groups, Counselors, etc. Trying to depend on 5-15 feel-good verses every Sunday was never going to redeem my soul. When I read 1ST JOHN 3:9-10 it instantly put the Fear of the Lord in me, and I finally surrendered my Entire life to God. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they CANNIT go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we KNOW who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are!! Well... My victim mentality Immediately died that day and now for the last 4 years I've been Completely Set Free of ALL anger, alcohol, depression, drugs, fear, insecurities, jealousy, loneliness, multiple personalities, pornography, rejection, sexual thoughts, stress, unforgiveness, worry, etc... The Love, Joy and Peace that I get from reading my Bible everyday and knowing who Christ made me to be in Him, has made me the happiest person on the planet. I have NO desire for the things of the world anymore, bec I removed every single uncleanly thing from before my eyes, because Jesus said if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out. I can't even watch TV because my spirit is SO sensitive to the commercials that used to seem harmless. I can't think of a single sin that is worth going to Hell forever. I now understand that it's impossible to sin.. because we always have at least 3 seconds to think about it, and then we decide if want to (1) Worship God through total obedience, or (2) Worship Satan in our flesh. Once I realized that it's that simple, it is what has been able to kept me 95% obedient; but with that other 5% I instantly repent when I have an unlovable word or thought towards those who saying evil thing about Jesus. If we don't Want to live solely for Jesus now, then God will not Make us live with him forever. I have a list of 182 other verses just like 1st John 3:9-10 from the NT where God warms us to be holy as He is holy by living a sinless life... so that we can go to Heaven and avoid Hell when we die.

Its been rough since his little boy and his father both passed away suddenly, life took an insane turn that completely yanked the rug out from underneath us.... living in a car wouldnt be so bad if its not some tiny little 2 door Honda like ours, you have everything you need, and most of all- its Your Choice... Life can be really brutal sometimes, just keep reminding yourself that you've got this and please Don't give up 💜 We are still struggling, but we're slowly making progress!

She just means it's becoming much more widespread. Not everyone has the same life experiences or has to drive by places where homelessness is something you see every day I got lucky that I had my car but even so, living in your car in wintertime in Denver can suck, especially since that year the nights were also colder than most years. My luck was a friend saw I was homeless and invited me to stay on his computer couch despite having two kids, his wife and MIL living there. I owe him for life. The most heartless thing I saw was a few years ago in Denver, during a pretty heavy snowfall the cops went to this homeless camp and dismantled it and told the people they had to leave. That was a major WTF moment. They couldn't wait until the next day to do that at least?

You're absolutely right! I sometimes think the biggest thing this world lacks is people with compassion, especially the ones who are in a position to do something to help the homeless off the streets. I wish someone with the means to do it would start building efficiency apartments to help get people off the streets. A clean, secure place to live where they can begin to get their lives back on track would do so much. A roof, a door that locks, a bed, bathroom and small kitchen would be golden for many people all across America who just need a helping hand. And once a person is on their feet then they can move out and another needy person could move in and do the same. I only wish I could afford to start up a place like that.

I'm so thankful wheni I lived in my car i had a full time job working nights. Finding a safe place during the day was a little easier. On my nights off my student ID from my college still worked to let me get into a parking garage. It was quiet enough I was never bothered there and felt reasonably safe. I definitely remember crying while washing up in a public bathroom like she did and just generally feeling like I had no privacy to work through my emotions surrounding the life I was living.

Just lost my job and now apartment. Living in my car starting today wish me luck. I took a few steps beforehand when I saw it coming. I took my last paycheck and got a storage unit and gym membership. I looked into which Walmarts allow overnight parking and I plan to cycle through them for sleeping. Making money is maybe going to be slightly troublesome but I signed up for Uber since my stuff in in storage. As long as my car is clean I can make it work maybe.

Lived in a van for 3 years by choice, and a car for 6 months so no comparison to someone who has no other choice. Though my time was spent on the west coast of the states, all the way down to Costa Rica doing odd jobs for a place to park and for food. Then the east coast of the states. The east coast is by far the most difficult, in the ithe first two weeks we got moved on 5 times by the police. People are so scared and disconnected from reality there. I've been fortunate to travel a lot and can say that the US if possibly the most broken of all the societies I've lived in, there is just so much contempt for other humans and basic decency seems to have been lost. The scene of the woman knocking on the window of the car says it all, instead of asking if they need help, they call the police.

This was me in 1987 after getting evicted in Oregon, all I had was my partially converted school bus to live in and I had to park on the street in the hottest month of the year, no a/c no working plumbing yet, I had my dogs, rolled some coins for dog food and got a box of food from a local church. I knew I had money coming from a life insurance policy but what was supposed to take 2 weeks took 2 MONTHS to get the money. My neighbor who used to stop by my rented RV pad to see if I needed to go into town discovered I was evicted and drove around and found me. She knocked on my door and said "my husband and I would like you to come park on our land until you get on your feet" that began a decade long symbiotic friendship. A decade later I moved out of state to pursue a career and we kept the friendship all that time until both of them had passed away, now I keep in touch with his third wife who became a widow last year. Just fantastic people!

Today I'm still simi disconnected to a traditional living space. But now I don't really seem to care much because everything continues to go up higher and my attitude is even if I get to make enough to afford I would refuse to pay those greedy wealthy land lords one penny.

It sucks but it's much better then living in the elements and walking every where. I parked at a bus station with many security guards and they didn't mind people sleeping in there car, so at night I felt fairly safe.

Been here and done this. Lived in a Ford Focus Wagon for about 6 months through an abnormally cold Pennsylvania winter. Worked 60 hours a week, exercised and showered at my local gym I was already a member of for years. I tinted my windows with 0% limo tint so nobody could see me in there. I saved up almost 24,000 dollars in that time. I've since then bought a black Focus 2-door hatchback 5-speed, but I still have the Wagon as a reminder of where I came from and what I've been through. In my honest opinion, the best things you can do it you become homeless are work and save as much as you can while being as frugal as possible, don't tell anybody you are homeless, maintain the best hygiene that your situation allows and take care of yourself through diet and exercise as if your life was completely normal. Other than that just be positive and you WILL get off the streets and back to living a normal life...

I lost my job of 4 years as a live-in caregiver during the pandemic and ended up sleeping in my car with my dog for a while. Didn't know many people so I didn't have friends to stay with. Lost everything I owned. I was approved for emergency rent assistance but there was a housing shortage and I didn't have any record of your employment for the last four years because I was paid under the table. Also no rental history for 4 years. And no job because I didn't have a home to leave my dog at while I was working. Devastating to end up in this situation and lose everything you own. Takes a toll on your mental health and your self confidence to say the least. Makes you view the world in a whole new way. Great film. Felt like I was watching myself for a minute. 😢

I was homeless once too with my son who was only around seven months. It was very sad, but I made it through and there was no one there except for who I thought was a helper for me, a childhood friend, who had me pay her entire month’s rent when I only stayed at her place close to 24 hours. Sometime thereafter I was called for an apartment. After all, I have steered clear of people I thought were there for me and family. Thank God I was able to move forward.

It's hard for anyone to go through hard times, to keep a positive outlook and to know things will get better. The hardest part for me, when l was homeless, was finding a safe place to park at night. There were some nights l would drive around all night, because l didn't feel safe. I appreciate this film to bring awareness to this huge growing predicament that affects many working individuals.

I put a luggable loo down in the back too for when I have to pee in the middle of the night, and wash it out at a handheld car wash in the morning. AND all my money is MINE!

I was homeless living in a shelter and saw and met a lot of homeless people from all walks of life,listened to their stories. I love that this church stepping up to help by providing a safe parking sleeping place for the homeless. That gives me a voice to contact more places to help by providing safe parking for the homeless people living in their cars. I've seen many different scenarios of the homeless living in cars,in tents,in parks, in abandoned houses and buildings. Its a vicious cycle for some . Some prefer the streets like vets,drug addicts, parolees,prostitutes. Every person is different but I know mercy is needed in the equation of helping the homeless. The churches could do a whole lot more by helping find people homes. I could go on and on about this issue. If you got a empty room in your house, rent it out to a homeless person at an affordable rate that they can pay . A lot of homeless people work, but just need a hand up ,not a hand out. We all have the opportunities to do just that. Alone we can do nothing, together we can do something.

Most Americans are sadly, 1-2 paychecks away from this situation. What a great short movie. Congrats to all who made this happen. As a long haul trucker I see displaced people(I refuse to call them homeless)daily in all parts of this country and it has gotten worse since the pandemic. I’ve given my winter jackets, my new gloves, my extra pair of new boots to displaced persons along with buying food and giving money to many over my 30yr driving career. I never know if they are using the $$ to buy drugs, booze or for something truly needed.. it’s none of my business as long as for that few seconds that I help them that they feel a short relief from all the pain they are having to endure. It’s sad that in a wealthy country like the USA we have this major issue, especially with military veterans. The gap between the haves and have nots in this country is growing exponentially every day now. Prayers to all who are displaced. To give is the ultimate form of happiness and never pass a displaced person and at least not say hi or ask how they are for 1 day any of us could be that person.

When I was in this situation, I remember driving to a food bank because I just couldn't afford any food. They refused to help me because I had a car. They said I was too well off. I had nothing. The people on the line started yelling at me to leave, and it became a whole damn show for everyone there. I left for a while, feeling humiliated and hungry. I had to go back some time later. I was crying, and I told them I was struggling, and that it was my friend's car. I got some food after that.

I've been through this same thing... We parked at Loves Truck Stops and slept. Then on nights we made enough money, we got a hotel. It's a rough life and really wears you down fast.

Being a former “car camper” not by choice who did Uber to live day by day, I felt this ❤️ I look at everyone the same rich or poor you never know what someone is going through! Spread positivity no matter how down bad things get! There is a light at the end of the tunnel! Love y’all ❤️

I lived in my car for a year and a half. The winter was brutal, washing in a bathroom at a park so I could go to work. Everyone at work knew I was living in my car, all of my belongings were in it, but they didnt put me down. I saved up enough to rent a place and moved on up to finally buying a place. It was Very Hard but it can be done. Its scary because there are so many obstacles, but as long as you don't give in to depression you can do it.

I know how this is going to sound, but being a man gives you a little more advantage. Being a young woman living in your car is a whole 'nother thing and it isn't pretty. Hang in there and take care. This too shall pass.

I lived in my car for almost 2 years. Surprisingly it wasn't that bad. The initial adjustment eventually passed and fortunately I was still working. So I my trunk i had my suitcase then next to it was my bag of dirty laundry and I would shower at my gym after working out then do laundry weekly. As I saved more and more (due to not having to rent anymore) I was able to get repairs done on my car and in 2019 I made the decision to move to the east coast for a better life. Now I have a good paying job and my own place. Don't give up. You can make it as long as u keep pushing through 👍👍👍👍

Your film moved me to tears. I posted it on Linkedin, 524 views and counting. I noticed several people, not travelers, sleeping in their cars at the Hunter Hill Safety Rest Area on westbound I-80 in Vallejo near San Francisco, just before westbound CA-37. I noticed a similar situation near Sacramento in Citrus Heights on a residential street next to some apartments, across the street from a shopping center, and on another residential street next to a park, across the street from some single family homes. So sad, especially last winter when it was cold. As requested, I clicked on the link and emailed President Biden, my senators, and my congressman. Best of luck to everyone.
