It's Everywhere

I started studying homelessness in Chicago because I saw people everyday on the streets in need.  But homelessness is everywhere.

It is estimated that on any given night in Los Angeles County there are 47,000 homeless individuals and only 11,000 shelter beds.  On the average,  1 out of every 7 Californians does not know where their next meal will come from.

In Santa Ana, California a new emergency shelter was recently opened by the Midnight Mission @LATMM.  Expecting 100 people a night, they quickly found themselves providing shelter to 300 people per night and serving over 750 meals a day.

The need is everywhere I look.
