About Invisible People
There is a direct correlation between what the general public perceives about homelessness and how it affects policy change. Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, a living wage or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness.
We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness.
This isn’t just talk. Each year, our groundbreaking educational content reaches more than a billion people across the globe. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you.
However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don’t take action now.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.

It's very bad in every state sadly.
Even in Europa
Yeah it really is.
What a lovely and intelligent person! May God Bless your City's efforts!
Sir I would appreciate you talking to Gavin Newsom. It is a travesty the way the homeless are treated here in California.
Best way to relay this message is clearly with non aggression, non hostilities and with politeness. Because people will eventually see the presence of the devil if it's there. Showing short videos, shedding light on the ugliness, darkness and the nastiness of the joblessness and homelessness phenonena.
If God is omnipotent, why does he let the devil perform all of these evil deeds, in fact, why did he create the devil in the first place?!?!
@AllGuts NoGlory hey well that didn't answer my question, God is supposed to be omnipotent, all-powerful, so the reason he lets the devil do these things eludes me...
@AllGuts NoGlory yes, manmade indeed! God used to be more interventionist in such scenarios back in the Old Testament days (although why he created things like sin and temptation in the first place still baffles me), maybe he's moved onto other projects (and perhaps he's come to the realisation that a purely good human race works much better in Earth v2/3, or whatever he's working on nowadays)...
There is no affordable housing. Rents are ridiculous. You literally need thousands of dollars to get into an apartment. Jobs don’t pay you enough to cover rent plus regular living expenses. And don’t have kids.
Dedra Perkins I live in Charlotte and that is soo true. Sad things were different back in the day.
U
The result of voting for democrats and Republicans, mass media, entertainment , dumbing down for society , total corruption on the top and ignorance of the masses
That’s exactly, why we need self sustainable off Grid earthhouses, worldwide, governments have to help people, building these. Then, all rudimentary needs are fulfilled and people can decide, whether they work more, to make luxury dreams come true, no problem at all. Solutions are there, just have to turn into reality.
There are many things that could be improved upon. Such as, changing it to where elderly can own their own home and qualify for some of the assistance. It makes no since that they sell there home and move to a nursing facility when, nursing facilities cost 6000 a month.
I live in Charlotte. It's a beautiful, clean city. But it also has homeless hanging out at many intersections.
@Alana Weaver tru, it seems everyone is waiting for someone else to clean it up... Lemme tell you, who finds the right formula will be extreamly rich!! Now everyone is keeping their hands clean, instead of diving in.. so sad...
I used to live in Charlotte, and have lived in NC all of my life. There is nothing beautiful about Charlotte, Raleigh, Winston-Salem, or Greensboro anymore.
@@InkdNXS I disagree. But then again, I grew up in Queens, NY in the 70's. My Dad worked in sanitation in the Bronx. I remember a time when seeing piles upon piles of cigarette butts at every stop light, and trash covering the highways, was a common occurrence. I live in south Charlotte, and most places are well maintained and clean. And that would be a draw, for me, if I was homeless. But the situation with the homeless is becoming heartbreakingly difficult. I can almost guarantee that I will come across several just while I'm out doing errands. I've been approached for money more times here, than anywhere else.
Affordable housing there?
Try living in California where house prices are ridiculously high
The local, state and federal governments have to want to stop homelessness instead of treating it as a big business. Just help people period.
There is no end to the homeless crises, America continues to crumble while skyrocketing prices rise beyond average pay-grade. The bubble will burst very soon now, economic meltdown, collapse of quality life, fire and brimstone, order of the day.
I am so thankful to God for a person like Brother Mark who cares about the Homelessness situation and their problems, I pray l can help him when l am healed from my broken leg. He I see about a group that l would love to help and become a part of, In His love, Sister Pansy C Miller from San Angelo, Texas
joblessness and homelessness, it's like these undesirable things nobody wants to experience continues to exist for some unfortunate people. strange phenomena.
Agreed - it’s why we all need to speak up
Strange world....with all the money we sqeek out of our planet....it should be more equalized 📢
*sqeek = squeeze 🙏

It is far less expensive and much more productive, to simply give homeless folks a grant of about $10,000. That is how much it cost me to go from homeless in San Francisco to having my own stable home. I pay $500.03 a month lot rent and own my RV and my car. I expect my rent to increase to $550.03 in April 2019. I will likely begin to transition to living in my RV on the curb in front homes with extra green lawns. I'm tired of going without everything just to have a place to park. The oil and gas industry has over inflated rent prices in my area of Colorado. There two vacant lots next to me that have been paid for by the pipeline company. Paid to sit vacant all summer! Think about that. Folks here are begging for a legal RV living spot. Yet the pipeline can afford to rent the spots AND NOT USE THEM? Shameful.
I think Democratic candidate Andrew Yang's $1000 Freedom Dividend will help solve the homeless problem in our country.
ok , lets give 5 people 10K and follow them... Who has 50K and a CZcams guys!! Perhaps make a reality show about them. Think outside the box people... solving this can make you rich you know...
I'm retired, and on social security. I retired in 2006. I worked for May Co, a Hugh retail corp, for 26 yrs. May Co went out of business, and Federated took over. I had stocks, that lasted about 8 yrs. Now I'm living on social security. I know that social security was always meant to be supplementary, but folks r living on it now, in their older yrs, more and more. It's a Hugh problem now, with the housing crisis all over the world now. The average waiting list, for senior housing, is 5 to 7 yrs. I live in Danbury, Ct. It's Fairfield County.
I really admire her. A well spoken, caring and thoughtful person. :)
Well said Mayor. She seems like she’s genuinely concerned for her residents ❤️
So many intelligent people out there. Hope we can solve homeless problems soon. Heartbreaking
Good video. She seems like a nice woman. I pray your channel grows and flourishes for the good of the country and world! Mark you are a kind,humble man. God bless you!♡
WOW I did not know it was that bad. My brother lives there.
This is an increasing problem around the country. The gap between the rich and poor is widening. I am having to fight every day to not end up homeless. Disability barely pays the rent. Don't know how those yuppies can sleep with themselves.
Yuppies don't owe you anything, dude. Let me help you here, okay? First law of Planet Earth is: if you are depending on the GOVERNMENT for ANYTHING, you're gonna be disappointed. Second law is: See Law #1. If your plan is to cash disability checks for the rest of your life, regardless of the nature of your disability, you are taking the opportunity that God has given you as a white guy in the most prosperous and opportunistic country in the world, during a very good period in human history....financially speaking...and wasting it. Try working! Mow lawns, blow leaves, learn carpentry, deliver pizzas....do SOMETHING! Put down the chips and stop crying and work as if you're a Mexican immigrant hungry for work. Your hard work will be rewarded and you will eat and have a roof over your head. Try it. You'll like it.
Healthcare and housing is owned by the insurance corporations and banks. They only want profit, before people. There's enough housing for everyone in this country but the banks keep the prices of rent and mortgages artificially inflated. Wages are not rising fast enough to keep up. The foreign real estate investors contributed to the high cost of housing too.
Hey I like your insight on the causes. Where did you learn this?
Can we have mayors like this woman in other states
All "lyes" if you ask me. Sort it out. These people need help. Stop talking. Start doing.
ok, but I'm far away also but very concerned... how can we actually help??
What a beautiful and amazing woman! I think it's cool she is from Columbia originally :) For me, watching this highlighted the generational split there can be, thinking about Millenials and tech (when she mentioned the tech industry, etc.). I'm a Gen-X-er (50) and though some of my best friends are "Millienials," there can be some differences in our expectations and life experiences based on what things were like growing up. Maybe this generation can help shift how we think about community. We have to create this shift. I love so much that you are showing some of the beauty of the Carolinas... we don't have a great reputation in the south but there is some big-heartedness.
Not sure how to fix the problem but to blame it on the job market is not the answer. Not all jobs are meant for adults who have a mortgage. Most positions in the hospitality field are meant for high school and college kids or a part time job. Not all but most. Chances are if you graduate high school get married and stay out of jail you will not be poor. Nothing bothers me more than hearing her say she received millions of dollars for homelessness. How much of that is going to get spent on beaurocricy and salaries? My guess is alot.
I enjoy your videos keep it up and hopefully you can make a difference!!
The truth is that Charlotte buses out their homeless to Asheville.
Hold on. I’m going to be there all next week. I have been in contact with service providers and homeless people. Lots of cities do bus people out but don’t jump to conclusions. I understand you don’t trust politicians but they are our best hope for change. We have to weed out the bad ones and support the good ones.
What about wilmington? Do they bus out or receive homeless?
Not sure if this will get seen by the owner of the page. But u can you please give an update on EJ if he is alive or not? Or in the military? I’m sure many people would enjoy The video.
Bonjour messieur,je me suis abonné en voyant une de vos vidéos,je l'avoue depuis mon attention est en berne,maïs une chose dont je suis sûre c'est que ce que vous faite est de l'or pour les âmes.
Puisse le tout puissant vous donner force,et tout les attributs du coeur!
I am sorry I don't understand French
Invisible People don't worry,god bless your work for you intention.
Translation: "Hello, sir! The mayor isn't wearing a wedding ring and her body language suggests that she is hot for you. Perhaps you dropped some Spanish Fly in her water before the interview, I don't know. But as a well paid politician, if you hook up with her, your financial problems will disappear. No need to do any more interviews! Everyday will be Miller Time! Ask her out and let us know how it goes. Best wishes from France..."
'' homeless is just part of our natural growth ''. .... . Hmmm
Sharing is loving

.
Maybe we should share more ✌️📢
What type of narcotic are you on-? 😂🤣😂
L'hérésie d'un monde protestant peut il se développer ou chacun doit être le plus"fort".
Please respectable mayor of Charlotte, please please please let me meet zianul Ahson..I m head over heels in love with him
You were 15 mins from me.
I got kicked out of two establishments before 1 o'clock. Wasn't bothering a soul. Shit sux.
This is the unfortunate result of central banking and letting markets work without gov meddling.
1🇺🇲🥷🏽 them some pro smiles...
N/Ever to put yr trust on politicians!
Wow bro I didn’t realize you were so close. I would have liked to hook up with you and talk.im just South of you about 30 minutes.ODAT brother
Sorry but it's extremely difficult for me to believe the millinials are so high tech and wealthy and well educated, they can throw our entire economy and housing into a tail spin. Raising the entire countries wage over building affordable housing in every city is ridiculous and unattainable. BUILD THE HOUSING!
If i was yall.. Id be HOT! to.....
1100. God you should see what california is like
Horvath? That's a Hungarian name man!!
So what ?
1🇺🇲🌈🖕🥷🏽 YOUR STANDING IN FRONT OF OUR FLAG...

I always asks why Can homeless people stay in these Houses That Famous people use in movies Because they dont use it anymore after the movie anyway So Why cant they not Help the homeless And Let them In Those Beautiful Homes
Housing for People out of state that's got hired a place to stay.
Stop voting democrat is a start to end homelessness.
Homelessness is an AMERICAN problem that effects all of us. Pointing fingers blaming someone else just makes the problem worse.
@@InvisiblePeople Homelessness IS an American problem that effects us all. However, it is prudent and reasonable to explore how this happened and who is making policies that encourage homelessness. Giving people needles and money who then buy drugs with it is a policy that liberals have embraced. Sorry, I know you're a liberal, dude, but Republicans don't have needle programs! Making excuses and not exercising discipline when it comes to getting off drugs and being an active and consistent worker in society is NOT helping! While "love" is necessary, so too is "tough love". Otherwise, you're enabling a huge population of entitled, sad and motivation-less dependents....and everyone loses. If we hold our elected officials accountable (the clowns in San Fran, LA, Portland Oregon and Seattle are good places to start....not to mention New York, Philly, Detroit and Baltimore...all liberal cities) then they will understand that this is a serious problem and strong policies need to be implemented not just to accommodate homeless people, but to facilitate an environment that discourages rather than encourages it. That's a win/win. By the way, I like your videos and think you are helping.
1🇺🇲🥷🏽 eggs cracking...
