zReportage.com Story of the Week #793: TUESDAY July 6, 2021: ‘The INVISIBLE’ by Pulitzer winning Sacramento Bee Photographer Renee C. Byer:’I’m trying to keep it together’ Kristi Phillips and Anthony Slain, homeless with three children, move between a camper and hotels in Sacramento over several months in 2021. The number of homeless families in Sacramento continues to grow. California’s homeless problem has been out of control for decades. Then came COVID-19. The result has been a deadly combination of medical crisis, human hopelessness and bureaucratic red tape as the state, reeling from the effects of the virus, tries to rebound with a plan for the 160,000 homeless people. That number eclipses any other state, and accounts for half of the country’s entire unsheltered population. Sacramento Mayor Steinberg is ready to take a daring step to combat the homelessness crisis engulfing the region. He wants California’s capital city to be one of the first in the U.S. to establish a legal right to housing and shelter. See the plight of a homeless family in Sacramento. Welcome to ‘The INVISIBLE’
