Skid Row in a Rain Storm: When It Rains, It Pours Misery

When it rains in Los Angeles, it pours misery on Skid Row. People with no choice but to sleep outside have few options when bad weather hits, forcing a type of survival that’s as unfortunately cruel as it is common for our homeless neighbors. There are few places to seek shelter during cold and wet weather, and everything that remains exposed gets wet. In winter in Los Angeles, the rain is typically accompanied by bone-chilling wind, creating a two-punch combination that could literally turn deadly for people living outside homeless in tents. During big storms, the rain will collect on the tops of tarps and tents, eventually breaking the nylon roofs under the stress of watery weight. The ground itself is soaked with gritty city runoff from sidewalks and streets as grime pools in vast puddles of iridescent oil and grease. Cardboard, which typically provides a source of insulation from the cold sidewalk, becomes a sponge for the toxic broth. We have to do better. We must do better! No one should have to live outside in cold weather. Homeless people are dying at record numbers while, at the same time, more people are entering into homelessness than ever before. We must fix the affordable housing crisis and get everyone inside with the support they need.

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. Our groundbreaking educational content reaches millions of people every month. 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.
