Andrew Phileps, 19, Peter Roman, 19, Cyrus Rawlins, 21, and Mitchell Thomas, 22, have much in common -- they grew up as troubled youths, didn't finish high school and now find themselves homeless in Somerset County, N.J., one of the wealthiest areas in America.

They are finding shelter at Agape House, a division of Volunteers of America, in Somerville. The men hope that the temporary refuge they find there will give them a chance to stabilize their lives so they can achieve their dreams and aspirations.

This project was photographed and produced by Matthew Apgar and Danielle Austin in SoundSlides converted to video for Do1Thing.org.
