For Many, This is Home

Here’s a snapshot of the homeless shelter located just north of Downtown Las Vegas. I took it at 10:15 pm last night. It’s a giant open-air refuge for people who are struggling.

This photo shows only about a third of the population that’s being sheltered on any given night. It’s actually much larger. Moreover, many homeless people here in las Vegas and elsewhere remain in the streets and don’t come into the facility. To say homelessness is a problem would be a grotesque understatement.
