This was a poweful piece. The connection of the photos with the people's voices made them real. So rarely do we hear the voices of the homeless. This brought home to me the realization that it is such a thin line between having a home and homelessness - but a huge, vast difference in terms of social justice and the treatment of them as individuals.

Great piece, Jeff. Moving, spare and honest.
