‘We got people that had been millionaires in the past, you know’, says Steve Brigham, a U.S. minister, who helps the increasing number of homeless Americans, many of whom were wealthy in the past. According to Brigham, many of their stories are similar: inflation, economic and business downturn, bankruptcy and, finally, life on the mean streets. Those who can’t afford to pay the rent anymore gather in tent communities. Brigham manages the senior homeless camp, which is situated in one of the forested communities. The local authorities, however, are against such encampments near their neighbourhood. Thus, they have closed all roads to the camp so that cars with food and fuel are unable to enter. Although Brigman managed to find a detour this time, what will his next showdown with the local authorities entail? Watch our premiere ‘US Homeless: The Fight for Equality’ to learn more.
