My final Intervention I created a video that shows how we can help combat homelessness. I have chosen this topic because it is looked over all over the world even with the various supplies that could help.
The message I want to convey to my audience is compassion and understanding for people to see that some people who are homeless actually need help; we can be the ones to help. I want to show that there various reasons that a person can be homeless and if we can take the time to learn maybe get to know and help the people even in our own neighborhoods.
Posted my video on Instagram, TicTok Facebook, TicTok, and twitter.
This project helps me creatively and it shows that I am tech savvy; I did the whole video on my phone on an app which I use all the time when I need to edit a video.

"We all, as individuals, can and should act compassionately and charitably. We can volunteer our time, energy, and dollars to help the underprivileged. We can feed the hungry, house the homeless. Most of us feel a moral and ethical responsibility to do so - to 'do unto others.' "

Black Lives Matter Movement has inspired my project because of how fast people came on board because of how fast the stories and protests were shared on social media. “The time is always right to do what is right.” – Martin Luther King Jr. BLM Movement is exposing the racism even more now because people are are actually
Michael Rakowitz created inflatable shelters, called paraSITE, that took the exhaust air from the HVAC system outside of the building. The air for the exhaust gives structure to the shelters and it also provides warmth to the plastic and also the person. I like how Rakowitz used an unexpected resource and created something completely different to help people in need.
The cities i live in Bayonne/Jersey City was also an inspiration. Seeing people asking for money and trying to find shelter in the rain or they have been homeless for so long they are used to the rain. It makes me sad that the world we are living in makes it difficult for people to survive.
List of Shelters:
- Hope House - Jersey City
- St Lucy's Homeless Shelter - Jersey City
