A Day in the life of an Addict: Real life stories from the Streets of Harrisburg PA (Tent City)

In the heart of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, hidden deep within the woods, lies a makeshift community known as Tent City — a place where the forgotten find shelter. This off-the-grid encampment is home to a mix of individuals, many battling drug addiction and homelessness, while others simply have nowhere else to go. Despite the harsh living conditions, Tent City has become a place of survival, support, and shared struggle.

In this raw and emotional video, several residents open up about their experiences — how addiction led them to the streets, how they ended up in Tent City, and the harsh reality of daily overdoses that haunt the camp. Not everyone in Tent City is an addict, but everyone is affected by the drug crisis that surrounds them.

As Pennsylvania authorities push to shut down the camp, labeling it dangerous and unsustainable, the people here are left wondering where they will go next. This is more than a story of homelessness — it’s a glimpse into a hidden world, and a powerful reminder of how quickly life can spiral, and how human resilience still survives in the darkest corners.
