I am doing a much simpler yet related project digital story telling project here in Richmond, VA with people reentering the community from incarceration, most are homeless and struggling.

      It's exciting that you're getting close to your goal. This is an important project, not only to raise public awareness, but to raise awareness among human services employees around the country that people who have experienced homelessness and have significant barriers CAN and DO work successfully if they have access to the proper supports.
