Episode Synopsis
Hidden homelessness through the eyes of a youth or single adult.
In this episode, Shana shares what it’s like to live without a place of her own — moving between couches, temporary spaces, and uncertain nights. Her story highlights a side of homelessness that often goes unseen but affects so many.
With honesty and resilience, she reminds us: “Sometimes you need to be OK with not being OK.”
This is what hidden homelessness sounds like.
