Eric lives in a homeless shelter in Traverse City, Michigan. He also works full time as a cook in a local restaurant. <br /><br />Over the winter, Eric stayed in the emergency shelter. He talks about the challenges homeless people with jobs face while living in a homeless shelter. Most shelters are not set up for second or third shift workers. <br /><br />The leading cause of homelessness is the lack of affordable housing. Because of that, more people with jobs just cannot afford a place to live and end up becoming working homeless. <br />________________________________________________
