Stories of the Street began in Phoenix, AZ

​

This book was created to document the lives of people experiencing homelessness and to show the reality behind the word.

 

There is no single reason someone ends up on the street. Every story is different, shaped by circumstance, history, health, loss, and chance.

​

The goal of this project is simple: to humanize people who are too often reduced to a label, and to let their stories speak for themselves.

​

All proceeds from the book will go servicing the homeless.

How the Stories Were Collected

f

These stories were collected alongside Street Medicine rounds and community outreach efforts across Phoenix. 

​

Undergraduate students, medical students, and volunteers spent time listening, talking, and building relationships while providing care, supplies, or support. The stories in this book came from those moments.

​

This project does not attempt to explain homelessness. It documents the people living through it.
