IMPOVERISHED AMERICANS ARE LIVING IN THE FOREST IN NEW JERSEY 9-17-2010

While the number of homeless people in America is peaking, some have been forced to live in the woods for years because they have nowhere else to go. And their numbers are only growing.

Some are familiar with America the prosperous. Many are familiar with America the traditional. But with millions of Americans homeless, there are also those who only know America the broke.

In the US state of New Jersey, picture-perfect homes can be found just 20 minutes away from tents put up in the woods, because the homeless do not have anywhere else to live.

Former saxophone player Charlie Ericson told RT that he ended up there through his own mistakes in life. He is among at least 40 people who live in Tent City -- a homeless camp tucked away in the woods of New Jersey.

Tragic destinies have led those forced to move here to call the village home. RT previously visited the camp in the winter and things have changed since then. More tents have appeared, some have come and others have gone.

I don't get it,their are NO JOBS!!!! We are in an economic crisis! Who gives a fuck what other people think of you. Just set up in the woods like the old days!

Truth be known many after this chrsitmas will lose their homes and jobs as the economy continues to decline . Most everybody is several paychecks away from the streets. Were in for a downward spiral to a total situation of a pyle of crap to which the government hasnt done a dam thing for the people ,Because they are the ones that help created what has happened .America cant compete with the lower wages from other nations . Corporations love cheap labor-equals more profits ! The hurt is coming!

You don't see this on CNN. Then the gov will come and kick them out because of "sustainable development"

Denver Colorado houses around 900 homeless people per night! The thieves on the street make it impossible to have any drive to want to work or own anything. Therefore as a result more and more thieves are becoming more brazin and attacking the ones who have stuff even though it's more risky for them. He he owns little is most rich!

@Marh044 completely ignorant comment. Who will give you a job if you have no address to put on an application? I was 16 on the street by no fault of my own and it took a leg up to get me off the street. I am 32 years old and have been off the street ever sense,.. busting my ass the entire way and if I HADN'T gotten that leg up, i would still be out there!

go to any farm town in america and you will find a job, the 99% doesnt want to be working on the farm they just want a handout, unless your disabled i have no pity

The woods are a great place to live. The city is dangerous and so are the shelters.
