Lazy.
Dirty. Crazy. Those are some stereotypes about those who are homeless
in our society. The lack of interaction between groups of our society,
combined with impersonal or inaccurate descriptions of homelessness,
contributes to a distance of those who have housing from those who do
not. As a result, homelessness is perceived as an abstract social
problem. The Faces of Homelessness program seeks to bring awareness to
individual stories of people experiencing homelessness in order to
combat common misperceptions and stereotypes in the hopes of ending the
epidemic of homelessness.
