Greg and Latisha's love helps them survive homelessness in Detroit.

Greg and Latisha met a little over 4 years ago and fell in love. They have lived together and supported each other ever since. Greg and Latisha are homeless on the streets of Detroit. They have slept outside without shelter even in the coldest winters. That's a very special kind of love.

Greg has been homeless for around eight years. He was locked up for eleven years and the streets were his only choice after being released. Except for a year that Greg did on misdemeanor charges for failure to appear in court, he has lived on the streets homeless.

Latisha has been on the streets for five years. Prior to this interview, Latisha was picking on me. She started calling me "Tom Cruise's grandfather", which I took as a compliment and kinda not. We had a good time laughing. Even in the harsh realities of homelessness, Greg and Latisha do their best to smile and stay positive.

I can't imagine how cold it get's in Detriot during the winter. I was shocked when Greg and Latisha told me they still sleep outside all year! One of the reasons is most homeless services do not allow couples to stay in their shelters. For Greg and Latisha, splitting up is not an option!

About Invisible People:

Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.

Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath – its founder – and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America’s homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.

Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.
