I like this one. For some this can be seen as poverty porn or exploitation, but I think this kind of films/docs are necessary to show us a different reality and a reality that...should not be a reality anymore. Especially in the US. Honestly, I don't know what the hell you all are doing wrong to have so many people on this situation (or the health costs, or the guns problems or...), being the most powerful and 1st economy in the world...
Interesting POV from these people and I must admit that some looks in the eyes of these people where authentic punches in my soul.

Emotional
Human
This was an interesting look into homelessness. It doesn't glamorise or glorify it. It shows it's hard and cruel. Once again it shows that people are just people and that bad things happen to anyone.
It humanises them.
Should have been trimmed or expanded
This short provides an impressionistic take on the challenges of homelessness on the West Coast. It's a well done-cinematically-panoramic view of the issue. It focuses on several persons and treats their story with dignity. It also hints at or states some causes of homelessness as well as ways we are trying to tackle the problem. But it isn't very insightful.
I think the film could have been vastly improved by either cutting it down by 20 minutes-the overall artistic point is conveyed in that amount of time. Or they could have fleshed this out into a feature by getting some historical context and expert interviews. As it is now it is too shallow for its runtime.
