Dennis says he's not homeless, just "structurally challenged." 

At 53, he's worked all of his life. When he lost his job in Oregon, he moved to Phoenix to find work. Turns out, the economy isn't faring any better in Phoenix, and neither is Dennis' housing situation. To make matters worse, he developed a muscle disorder.

Special thanks to Phoenix Rescue Mission and Joy Junction.
