Faces of Homelessness

Rapid changes in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine have had a devastating affect on long-time residents, with as many as 800 units of affordable housing lost in one year. Over-the-Rhine Housing Network responded with innovative plans to empower residents and have saved 45 historic buildings. In 2017 they partnered with ArtWorks and @StrategiesToEndHomelessness and Iranian-born ICY and SOT were asked to raise awareness of Cincinnati’s housing and homelessness issues. The brothers spent time listening to the varied stories of individuals and families and 6 community members became a permanent reminder of the ongoing challenges.  @icyandsot  @artworkscincy
