Washing your hands and stocking up on food isn’t easy to do if you don’t have a permanent address

Evangeline Elmendorf Greene can go an entire day — sometimes more — without speaking to anyone in Santa Fe, N.M. When she wakes up in the cab of her truck and heads over to the Walmart to wash up, she sees families shopping together and feels alienated from their world of everyday errands and warm beds.

(Translated) In two weeks, the United States' largest state, California, will hold primary elections, and the most important election theme for many citizens is the state's homelessness crisis. 130,000 live on the streets, and homelessness affects ordinary people without social problems, who are affected by accidents or illness and can not pay the crazy rental prices of big cities. One of them is English lecturer Theodore Henderson.

We are joined by Jane Nguyen and Lisa Kwon from "Ktown For All", as well as Theodore Henderson from "We the Unhoused" podcast. We discuss the reality of homelessness in Los Angeles (including Koreatown), what's being done about it, and what we can do about it.

COVID-19 is affecting all of us, and we asked residents from across L.A. County to share how the pandemic is affecting their lives.

Theo Henderson never thought he would be unhoused. But financial hardship and a diabetic coma left him no options

In this week’s episode of Henderson’s podcast, We the Unhoused, he focuses on the coronavirus as it relates to people experiencing homelessness. “They’re not even aware it, they just know something is going on.”

California is preparing to vote for its preferred Democratic candidate in its primary on Super Tuesday this week. The BBC's James Cook went to Los Angeles to hear the hopes of six residents.
