Homeless in Detroit

Stacey travels to Detroit to find out how homeless people survive in a city that has 70,000 abandoned buildings and struggles to support its population.

First shown in 2014, Stacey Dooley travels to Detroit to find out how homeless people are managing to survive in a bankrupt city that has around 70,000 abandoned buildings and is struggling to support its population.

She arrives during the coldest winter the city has seen for over 20 years, when shelters are being pushed to the limit to accommodate the almost 20,000 homeless people living here.

Whilst spending time in shelters, Stacey meets the young people who had nowhere else to turn and sees how they have been affected by life on the streets, in ways she had never expected.
