Final

Maria Penrice

My final project consisted of an article and a collection of photos. In the article, I addressed the issue of homelessness in Cambridge by writing about how the situation has changed over the years, the services provided to homeless people in Cambridge, what still needs to be done, where the issue is going in the future, and the factors that contribute to and/or cause homelessness. I interviewed directors of shelters in Cambridge, the property manager of Central House a single room occupancy building for men, an employee of the Multi-Service center, and employees of Homeowner’s Rehab which is an affordable housing non-profit organization. Also I interviewed a few homeless people on the street. I photographed the facilities and the people I interviewed.
