Invisible families: The homeless you don’t see

The Seattle Times has published a special report on family homelessness through a fellowship with Seattle University, funded by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. As a part of the project, Erika Schultz, Cliff DesPeaux, Genevieve Alvarez and I produced six videos documenting different stories of family homelessness. The project was definitely a team effort and included great reporting by Lornet Turnbull, innovative partnerships with our community news partners, a comprehensive list of resources and beautiful online design led by Denise Clifton.

The Gift of an Arm

One of the greatest parts of working at The Seattle Times is being able to work with photographers such as Alan Berner.
