Description

Hidden homelessness through the eyes of a youth or single adult.


In this episode, Shana shares what it’s like to live without a place of her own — moving between couches, temporary spaces, and uncertain nights. Her story highlights a side of homelessness that often goes unseen but affects so many.


With honesty and resilience, she reminds us:
“Sometimes you need to be OK with not being OK.”


This is what hidden homelessness sounds like.
