Chasing the Dream

Reaching the Vulnerable

Special | 2m 17s

What's being done to reach the most vulnerable? Homeless outreach workers canvass the streets of New York City 365 days a year, trying to connect with homeless individuals and ultimately, bring them in off the streets. Thousands still live on the streets, with tens of thousands more in shelters. Is it enough?
