Introduction to the documentary on Solving Family Homelessness

A documentary about one community in America and the people in it who are solving family homelessness.

Recent reports state that 1 in 50 children living in the United States will experience homelessness in 2009. Is family homelessness in America a condition that can be solved or should we continue to manage, control and contain it forever through shelter operations, soup kitchens and human service programs?

Social entrepreneur and visionary Chris Megison introduces the first part of an ongoing documentary series around what one community in America and the people in it are doing to solve family homelessness. In this initial first phase of the documentary, Megison introduces 15 people who explain why they are winning the battle against family homelessness in their community.

This first series of 15 short vignettes explores the benefits of engaging all community sectors: civic, church, education, government and business around a model and a plan designed to solve (not contain) homelessness. The next series of the documentary, scheduled to be released later in 2009, will provide a personal look into the lives of the many families and children in who are winning their battle against homelessness using an innovative new approach called the Solutions University.
