GRITtv: Stories From the Street

According to New American Media, "federal experts estimate that at least 1.6 million juveniles leave or are put out of their homes each year. Other research has found a 40% spike in the number of homeless youth over the past year." It's Homeless Youth Awareness Month, and in this video, we hear one story of a young man, his family, hopes, and dreams, and how he ended up without a home. He credits becoming a father for helping him create stability in his life and is working toward a degree so he can help people like himself.
