50 People 1 Question: Skid Row

Located in the heart of Los Angeles, Skid Row is a 50-block community, where over 4,000 homeless people call their home. Considered one of the largest homeless populations in the country, Skid Row is typically a place where people go when they have nothing left. No job. No house. No money. Still, many continue to hold on to something that no economic recession or house foreclosure will ever take away: their dreams. Dreams of making something of their lives. Dreams of giving their child a better life than their own. Dreams of helping others who face the same problems they do.

Jubilee Project spent a day in Skid Row asking the people on the streets one question: What is your Dream? What we found is that even though the homeless lack much in the material sense, they have found value in something deeper. Many have found hope in knowing that there is still purpose in their lives. And that even though they have little in the way of monetary wealth, they have so much more to offer those who need it the most. By living their dreams and helping others around them, they empower us to do the same.

That's why we are starting a Jubilee Project Action Team, called jpX. Join this group to be a part of a movement of people around the world who are excited about making a difference in their own communities. jpX members will be responsible for taking part in a broader campaign to make tangible impact at the grassroots level.
