Yes, Anthony is homeless. We met at a rotating shelter near Detroit. When Anthony first lost his job and place to live, he tried squatting in an abandoned building filled with people using drugs.

Then he found MCREST Rotating Shelter. I love the rotating shelter model. Basically a group a faith-based organizations come together to share resources to help hurting people. That sounds to me like what church should be all about.

Calvin has a job and by now is living in his own apartment. He is also going back to school. I wish all stories ended like Calvin's. With your help they can.

Mark Horvath is an activist for the homeless. He vlogs at invisiblepeople.tv and blogs at hardlynormal.com. He was formerly homeless in Hollywood.
