TELL US YOUR STORY.

  Below are some questions that can help get you started writing your story. Please tell your story in whatever way you feel is best. We want to make your voice heard.

What is your name? (First name only or initials if you wish) Age? How long have you been homeless? How or why did you become homeless? Is this the first time you have been homeless? Did you have a job before becoming homeless? If so, what was it? Tell anything about your background or past you would like people to know. What brings you joy? What are some of the hardest things for you about being homeless? What dangers must you face each day? How do you feel most of the time? Do you receive any benefits or help from the County or State? What kind of help would you like to receive? What really gets you down? How has the COVID pandemic affected your life on the streets? What hopes or dreams do you have? What "gets you through the day"? Describe a typical day for you. What do you eat? Where do you stay? What do you wish people who are not homeless would know about homelessness? Do you have any suggestions on how to solve homelessness?
