TRUE STORIES & NEWS
People can become homeless for many reasons or want to help family
members in difficult situations. Here people share their experiences and
their hopes for their recovery and the future. We would like to thank
all the individuals who have taken part and allowed us to document their story.
Joshua
Joshua completed his work experience with HCC summer 2021, the knowledge he gained was so valuable that Josh joined the team as a volunteer.
