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\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation\u2019s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath \u2013 its founder \u2013 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.<\/p>\n<h3>More info on Terry is a 65 year-old veteran homeless in Austin, Texas<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ss-local-rss\"><div class=\"rss_header\"><h2><a href=\"https:\/\/cn.bing.com\/news\/search\/?q=Terry+is+a+65+year-old+veteran+homeless+in+Austin%2C+Texas&amp;qft=sortbydate%3D%221%22&amp;format=rss\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"rss_title\">Terry is a 65 year-old veteran homeless in Austin, Texas - BingNews<\/a><br \/><span class=\"rss_description\"> Search results<\/span><\/h2><\/div><ul>\n            <li>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bing.com\/news\/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&amp;aid=&amp;tid=66472dfbb95a4981b2088293b61156c2&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kut.org%2Fhealth%2F2024-05-16%2Faustin-state-hospital-set-to-open-new-redesigned-facility-this-summer&amp;c=9522195668611086460&amp;mkt=en-us\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAustin State Hospital set to open new, redesigned facility this summer\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The long-awaited update to the 163-year-old hospital aims to help nearly 700 patients a year receive acute mental health treatment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n            \n            <li>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bing.com\/news\/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&amp;aid=&amp;tid=66472dfbb95a4981b2088293b61156c2&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kvue.com%2Farticle%2Fnews%2Flocal%2Fhomeless%2Faustin-texas-storing-medication-homeless%2F269-b1d916bf-932f-4f5e-9557-ff640c419fb5&amp;c=6102066249853092008&amp;mkt=en-us\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe city of Austin will now store medication for people experiencing homelessness\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>AUSTIN, Texas \u2014 The Downtown Austin Community Court (DACC) is creating a new way for people experiencing homelessness to ... with individuals over the years that we\u2019ve seen decompensated ...<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n            \n            <li>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bing.com\/news\/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&amp;aid=&amp;tid=66472dfbb95a4981b2088293b61156c2&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kltv.com%2F2024%2F05%2F01%2F100-year-old-wwii-veteran-finally-gets-chance-attend-his-college-graduation%2F&amp;c=13058904066323700587&amp;mkt=en-us\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t100-year-old WWII veteran finally gets a chance to attend his college graduation\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>(WJLA) - A graduation ceremony in Virginia was decades in the making for a World War II veteran.
