Venice Beach Homeless Woman Sleeps in Front of the Apartment She Rented for 17 Years

Alicia's story is heartbreaking. She rented an apartment in Venice Beach, California for 17 years. Alicia is now homeless and sleeps on the same street where she once rented because that's where she feels safe. Alicia says in this interview: "the beach was once my heaven, but now it's kind of my hell."

Alicia how now lived on the streets for two years. She says she's had a lot of bad things happen in her life but none if it compares to being a homeless woman in Los Angeles. Alicia feels homelessness is a no way out situation. Alicia adds: "I really feel like I'm dead because every day-to-day is not, you know, alive. When you wake up you just wait for it to be over so you can do it all over again."

Alicia told me in this interview that on her very first night being homeless, she was hated. "You're either invisible or you're an eyesore, or they just want you to go," Last year, Alicia says she cried all day and all night every day!

Alicia is at risk. You don't have to be a social worker to hear the pain in her voice caused by living homeless. If she doesn't get help soon, her whole mental state will get much worse.

About Invisible People:

Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.

Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath – its founder – and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America’s homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.

Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.
