The vast majority of people who were unhoused in California before coronavirus swept across the state are exactly where they were. Encampments still line the streets. Shelters feel more like a risk than a refuge. And affordable housing is as elusive as ever.
Watch as they capture moments from their everyday lives — and talk about how they struggle to stay safe and healthy under circumstances that have often grown only more hazardous.
For the above mini-doc, CalMatters interviewed people experiencing homelessness. And in an unusual arrangement necessitated by unusual conditions, we compensated three as freelance videographers to film themselves going about living their lives while most Californians remain in their homes under the state’s shelter-in-place order.
