You wouldn't believe how common it is for us to hear about people sleeping in their cars in parking lots. Of course, those people are really hard to track down.

Lots of barns out here to hide in. And these are people who don't necessarily want to be found. They still have a lot of pride.

One of the toughest jobs we have is convincing some people that we're not making up this problem. The homeless out here may be harder to see, but they are all around, right beneath the surface.

Basically, the motels are our emergency shelters, and Paul is our shelter director.

We are getting better at this. We are learning where to look and whom to talk to.

When I graduated high school, all there was for us to do was go to the beach and drink.
