Hi there,

My name is Michael, and I’m working on a short documentary-style video exploring the question:

“Is it actually possible to solve homelessness?”

To answer that, I’m telling the story through a local lens—specifically, what’s happening right here in Elgin. From service providers to city officials to Businesses to individuals experiencing homelessness, this project aims to highlight the complexity of the issue and the creative ways our community is responding.

I’m inviting a handful of people like you to share their perspectives. Whether you’ve been directly involved in the work or impacted by it, I’d love to hear your perspective.

The goal of this video is to help more people understand the realities of homelessness, the barriers to sustainable solutions, and how individuals can participate in being a part of the solution.
