Los Angeles is the capital of entertainment, glitz, surf, "muscle men" ... but it is also the city of the homeless. For almost 50 years, thousands of them have been invading the sidewalks of Skid Row, located a few hundred meters from the Downtown business center. This is where Tanya Tull started her action. With Beyond Shelter, she accompanies homeless families with an innovative solution for sustainable housing, as a starting point for a return to a stable life (employment, schooling of children, self-confidence ...).
