Yolanda | FIRSTHAND: Homeless

For more than 30 years, Yolanda has lived in and around Chicago’s Lathrop Homes, but an eviction landed her on the street. Known as “The Auntie” of Lathrop Homes, Yolanda lives in a tent only feet away from the now-abandoned housing development she once called home. Without food and money, and facing the harsh reality of Chicago’s brutal cold, Yolanda’s desire for housing grows increasingly urgent.
