GRITtv: My Community is my Downfall

According to New America Media, "Federal experts estimate that at least 1.6 million juveniles leave or are put out of their homes each year. Other research has found a 40 percent spike in the number of homeless youth over the past year." One young woman tells her story of being homeless in San Francisco, shuttling back and forth from her mother's and sister's houses. She feels drawn to her community but also realizes that she needs to get out, that she gets into trouble over and over again.
