Oakland Tent City Homeless Encampment in VR180

This VR180 video is best viewed in a virtual reality headset such as an Oculus Go or Google Cardboard for a 3D immersive experience. This video will play on a mobile device or desktop, and you can move your phone or mouse around to see more than you would on a regular video.

Derrick Soo worked as a government contractor with over three million dollars in the bank when the recession hit and he lost everything. Derrick's life then snowballed to living in a tent homeless in Oakland, California.

What started as just a small tent encampment grew to a much larger tent city where homeless people found support and community. Oakland took notice that Derrick and other homeless residents cleaned up the area. The city started to provide trash pickup and Porta Potty portable toilets.

In this video, Derrick gives us a walking tour where you'll meet a few of the homeless people living in the tent city. For more information on the homeless here is the post on Invisible People: https://invisiblepeople.tv/city-sanctioned-homeless-camp/

Even though tent cities provide some basic support and are better than just being outside, homeless encampments should not even exist. We need your help to advocate for more support services and more affordable housing.

Your voice can help end homelessness. If we do not fix the affordable housing crisis, homelessness will continue to get worse. Click here [https://invisiblepeople.tv/getinvolved] to tweet, email, call, or Facebook your federal and state legislators to tell them ending homelessness and creating more affordable housing is a priority to you.
