- Homer has been sleeping rough in London for the last 20 years. Homer has tried staying in hostels, but he feels it's like being in prison.
Homer basically has been in the system all his life. At the age of 3 months he was in a children's home and then transitioned into a boy's hostel when he got older.
Near the end of this video Homer shares about the realities of life and death on the streets. It's very powerful and I hope you watch to the end.
This video was recorded on the last night of my stay, but I actually met Homer on the day I arrived. When we first met he didn't want to be on video and I always respect everyone's wishes. Over the next week or so I stopped and talked to him, gave him socks, and just made general conversation every time I saw him. When I stopped to say good-bye he requested that I video his story. It was an amazing moment and I am honored to have spent enough time with Homer to call him friend.

About Invisible People:
Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. 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’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as TH-cam, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
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’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath - its founder - 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’s 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.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.

I would say its tough being sober with a home also, because as the man says stress bills knaw what i mean
🙏🏾💜
He has an amazing perspective
God bless him and all of you ! Praise The Mighty Name of The Lord Jesus Christ , The Only King , Lord and THE ONLY WAY TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN !
tough guy
I think he is a Gypsy. I think they are better at living rough than most people. He looks a little like John Entwistle also. I think he has that pit bull to scare people from harassing him. He is a little man. It sounds like there are awful people there just trying to harm helpless people on the streets. I never imagined Britain to be like that. I thought they were more organized and traditional. I guess it is just a matter of people caring or not.
He is not a gypsy and he doesn't need his dog Brigadier to protect him (Brig is soft as shite!)
You hv a lot of assumptions
He’s a cockney through and through mate
I know what he means.
His accent couldn't understand a word
Cockney accent.....innit? :)
Not that difficult to understand
I’m hard of hearing he came across very clear to me know what I mean!
av a word wiv yourself geezer
@@daveconyard8946 a dig at the initial comment mate not this poor chap have a good one god bless you
not sure why its a huge issue how many days later your body is found after youre dead ,dead is dead or no ? Feel for him,must be awful to be a victim of drunk uk yobs while asleep.
Yes it happens an can happen to anyone, but 20 years an you're still homeless, it's your own fault. Y'all want it handed to y'all for free. ALWAYS EXCUSES FROM Y'ALL. Get a job an fix you first
How can people fix themselves in a system that’s broken? Fix ur attitude cos ur sounding broke to me
And fucking he’ll imagine it was as easy as just getting a job
