Homeless People Living in Freezing Cold in Ithaca's Tent City, The Jungle

Only moments after walking into Ithaca's infamous homeless camp known as The Jungle, we learned of a homeless woman who had severe burns from trying to put out a fire the night before. When she came out of the shack they were living in, you could see how the fire burned through the layers of clothes she was wearing on her arm and leg. The woman is screaming in pain. Luckily, Deb and Carmen were there to help. There was also an outreach worker from the Department of Social Services, but he didn't have a vehicle. Deb took the young woman to the emergency room where she was treated and later released. This all might seem a little odd to ordinary folks, but Carmen and Deb are not typical. They are not social workers. They are not even volunteers. They are simply concerned citizens doing what they can to help their homeless neighbors. Deb's husband is a dentist. The original plan to start the day was Deb was going to outreach with us and then drive a few of their homeless and formerly homeless friends to get dental work done. Compassion to help people is deep-rooted in both Carmen's and Deb's families! Others are part of the Ithaca Homeless Crisis Community Group [  / 869415259888079  ] doing what they can to help the homeless people living in shacks and tents. Still, there are not enough people and not close enough resources to support all the people who need help. Ithaca is a rural community in Upstate New York. Although the cost of housing is high, the funding for social services you'd see in a larger city is not available. There literally is no place for all of the homeless people to go to get the help they need. Your voice can help end homelessness. If we do not fix the affordable housing crisis, homelessness will continue to get worse.

Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, a living wage or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness. We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness. This isn’t just talk. Each year, our groundbreaking educational content reaches more than a billion people across the globe. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you. However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don’t take action now. Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.
