Meet the faces of the homeless

Take an inside look at the issue of homelessness and who are the people that represent it.

In Sacramento alone, the rate of unsheltered people has increased by 85 percent from 2015 to 2017.

In Modesto, their homelessness issue has begun to be so great that the city has set up tents in a designated area for those without a home to stay.

City officials and volunteers across the state constantly work to provide resources to people in need of shelter. Some of the issues that contribute to the crisis include rising rent prices, physical and mental disabilities and lack of employment.
