HOMELESS Approximately one-third of community college students experience the threat of homelessness and housing instability
In the bustling streets of the Bay Area, hundreds of thousands of people push and past strangers daily, ignoring those on the streets around them. The few people likely to salvage acknowledgment and compassion towards outsiders are the ones who have been outsiders themselves. I found this especially true after interviewing two De Anza students who share that down-and-out existence. These two women not only demonstrate qualities of passion, leadership and conviction, but also show the potential for rapid success in redirecting their courses of unfortunate events through knowledge, faith and community.

Film student Christine Bumgarner has experienced homelessness twice in her life. “I know that bad shit will happen and you need help,” she said. “The first time, the family I was born with took us in, and out here it was the family I chose that took me in.” PHOTO BY MATTHEW FERNANDEZ
