About the study: Homeless. No other word better describes our modern-day suffering. It reveals one of our deepest and most painful conditions—not having a sense of belonging. However, Alan Graham, founder of Mobile Loaves & Fishes and Community First! Village is improving the quality of life for a vast number of people by sharing his personal story of becoming more human through humanizing others. In doing so, he shows us the home we’ve all longed for but never had. Graham also shares the stories of the homeless, and the stories of those whose worldviews have been shifted by the homeless in a raw, humorous, and honest voice.
