@home

Homelessness can take many forms. For some people, it's a few days without housing or the constant fear of losing your home. Others experience homelessness many times over their lives. Please donate to help these individuals attain housing security and stability.

This grassroots fundraising campaign is part of the @home campaign, a documentary film and engagement effort raising awareness about homelessness in America. @home follows online activist Mark Horvath, founder of InvisiblePeople.tv, as he road trips across the country to interview homeless men, women, and families about their experiences. Learn more at www.athomedocumentary.org and follow @home_campaign on Twitter to join the conversation.
