Unhoused Neighbors

Unhoused Neighbors is a documentary that will tell the stories of individuals that might otherwise go unheard. The hope is to shed a light on what it means to live outside in Sacramento. We also wish to provide a window into a little-known segment of our communities, one that is frequently stigmatized and dehumanized through harmful stereotypes.
