The face of America's homeless youth - Jul 2010

(linkhotted)

Denver, Colorado (CNN) -- When the sun dips below the Rocky Mountains and the streets of Denver go dark, Lokki, his girlfriend Magic and their friend Tripp head home. They climb in between the rafters of a highway overpass, crouching as they sit under the concrete structure that rumbles with every car that crosses overhead. It is where they will sleep tonight. It is where they say they can live safely after escaping from abusive homes.

"If you can survive off of living on the street and sleeping on cold concrete or behind a dumpster when it's snowing, you know you have the strength to do just about anything."

Being homeless blows ass.

Homelessness is not always about being without a place to live, but often about estrangement or loss.

Or all three.

That is some sad stuff right there. To bad they can't find a place to go, but I am sure the places set up to house multiple homeless people could be rougher than where they are staying now.

The real suck part is, once you're homeless it's almost impossible to get back out of it without outside help from someone. No money, no address, no transpo, and no resources means you can be stuck there for a long time.

Many of our young homeless come right out of the foster care system.

They turn 18 and all of a sudden the system isn't there for them.
