HOUSING! - A photo exhibit

HOUSING ! - A photo exhibit in the large glass display case

In the midst of the greatest concentration of productive wealth in human history in the High Tech industry, we see all around us a relentless escalation in homelessness. Throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, tens of thousands of people are unhoused, hundreds of people die on the streets every year, and the numbers just keep growing.

It is said that these people are “homeless,” but in reality their home is wherever they sleep, be it in a tent, a non-functioning vehicle, or a sheet of cardboard. They are “unhoused.”

Behind every tent and behind every vehicle is a human face – a human being who was once a neighbor, once a co-worker, once a schoolmate, a mother, a father, a daughter, a son. Every human face is a human being with thoughts and feelings, with pain and laughter, with aspirations and dreams.

Housing is a human right! Everyone needs housing!
