Keeping the Passion Through Hard Times

Project Homeless Connect, is a one day event where homeless individuals can receive resources and services that they would not be able to get on a daily basis. Finding articles or videos from Homeless perspectives, gives insight to someone who may not know or understand what it is like to be homeless. In this article, it talks about a program called the Real Change Homeless Empowerment Project. This project helps homeless individuals find jobs and have access to services, much like what will happen at Project Homeless Connect, just on a larger scale. One thing they may do is sell newspapers. This piece, found in the Huffington Post, displays a homeless man who works and sell his photography and has become motivated in these tough times to re launch his love for making art.
