There is a common misconception when people speak of the homeless, particularly those that panhandle. They are often thought of as being lazy and not wanting to work which is the furthest from the truth.
A number of individuals and organizations within the city of Saskatoon have taken it upon themselves to develop a project called Homelessness Stories to break this stereotype. The project will include photo-visual and literal depictions of homelessness in Saskatoon through the lens and voices of the homeless.
The pictures and stories of the homeless by the homeless will be combined in video form later this year.
Inevitably the group working on the project would like to provide stakeholders, decision makers, government and business leaders an opportunity to view the film which will present how homeless individuals actual live and how they feel about the situation.
Check back for an update on the project progress next month! -- As the project has just kicked off all photos posted are Courtesy of Change Blog.
