Description: Let’s Talk Homelessness is a live stream most Sunday mornings around 11 am pacific time. Started by Invisible People’s founder Mark Horvath as an occasional produced show, people in the chatroom kept asking just to connect and talk, so the live stream transitioned from a produced show to more of just a hangout to talk about homelessness and related topics. The chatroom is moderated by homeless and formerly homeless people. Updates about the stream and questions for the show are posted on our community tab. Please click here invisiblepeople.tv/get-involved to tweet, call, or email your state and federal legislators to tell them ending homelessness is a priority to you.

Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, childhood trauma, lack of 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.
