Over the next few years we are going to see an explosive growth in what is being called “economic” homeless. We will also see many more tent cities showing up around America. On InvisiblePeople.tv we have been featuring stories from my trip to Sacramento. This week my good friend and favorite blogger Shannon Moriarty wrote about some of the controversy. Just now my friends at Help A Mother Out sent me this link that included the above powerful video.

As many of you know I am in the initial planning stages of taking an InvisiblePeople.tv road trip from Los Angeles to Washington DC this summer. Kind of interesting that news stories about the Sacramento tent cities fueled my passion for taking a trip up north. Now the news media seems to be on the tent city story around the country.

Lots of people send me stories about the tent city issue and it is greatly appreciated. Please keep them coming. If you work in homeless services or are connected in some way and would like me to visit please give a yell. InvisiblePeople.tv can help tell the story of homelessness is your area. I will also be speaking at churches and organizations along the way. Maybe you can help sponsor the journey. We have our first cooperate sponsor yet need to partner with more organizations or individuals to make it happen.

I’d say call me crazy but most of you have done that already. Lots of people bring “awareness” to the cause. What makes InvisiblePeople.tv unique is we give homeless a platform to tell their own story. Everyone knows homelessness is a crisis. Our goal is to get you to do something about it.
