Sidewalk Stories is inspired by real-life relationships between an unhoused person and their mental health outreach provider on the Los Angeles County Homeless Outreach and Mobile Engagement team, known as HOME.

We aim to shine a light on their tireless work and amplify their voices to raise awareness, break down stigma, and highlight a crisis affecting cities across the country. Their work is a beautiful reminder that by offering a helping hand, a listening ear, and leading with empathy, we can inspire hope and help others know that they are never alone.
