| Summary: | A report on the American homeless crisis in Seattle. Half a million Americans are homeless, and cities on the West coast have seen a noticeable increase of "unsheltered" people, a term which refers to anyone who is homeless but not sleeping in a shelter. Though home to some of the largest tech corporations, Seattle has the third highest number of homeless people in the country; many live in makeshift encampments allowed by the city. These unsheltered people, a great deal of who have full-time jobs, feel many people underestimate the hard work it takes to do everyday tasks while homeless. In addition to the encampments, more than 2,000 people in the Seattle-King County area live in vehicles. There are still more than 5,000 people unsheltered in one of the wealthiest areas in the country. Includes interviews with Josiah and Tricia Wood, Emilee Broll, and Jeff Gold, who all live unsheltered; Ari Hoffman, a Seattle businessman and former candidate for city council; Dennis Culhane, professor at the University of Pennsylvania and homelessness researcher; and Jenny Durkan, Mayor of Seattle. |
