Hidden Homelessness and It Was a Wonderful Life

When we talk about homelessness we often picture unkempt people sleeping on the streets, but not every homeless person looks like that or is even visible to the general public. In this episode, Rachael and Roxanne explore the invisible crisis of hidden homelessness, especially among women who once had stable careers, families, and homes. Join us as we watch the 1992 documentary It Was a Wonderful Life and talk about homelessness, poverty, and why going to prison isn't a good idea.

**This was technically already aired, but we've gotten much better at editing now - please enjoy this remastered version of our 2nd episode!**
