Shelter

Season 1 Episode 103 | 26m 46s | CC

The homelessness crisis can feel distant until seen through a child’s eyes. Shelter follows three unhoused children and their parents in L.A. as they seek steady shelter and try to keep their dreams alive. Skylar and Nicholas both live day to day, shuffling between temporary motel stays and living in cars; while Victoria’s family reclaims an abandoned house as their own.
