In the first episode of The Way Home we examine the origins the homelessness crisis in the US and how has grown to an epidemic in California.

More than half of homeless people in California are seniors. One pilot program in Northern California is focused on getting them off the street.

In one California community volunteers, non-profit organizations, and the local government are working together to find creative ways to get people into sustainable housing ... and it's working.

California is in the midst of a housing crisis, and the lack of affordable housing is why so many become homeless.
