Lack of income and support is more apparent than ever
The rate of homeless people in the Central Valley has grown exponentially over the past two decades. Nowhere has this become more apparent than in Modesto, CA. The reasons for people finding themselves without a home range from domestic abuse, medical incapacity, drug use, and divorce to name only a few. Every subject photographed had declared being homeless at the time of shooting.
