Editorial: Stories: Homeless

At 33, Chris Tuliano is homeless. Here, he makes his way to a camp in the woods that he shares with his step-father, Bobby Hyers, 47. Alcoholism is the main reason the pair are homeless. They are part of a rising number of homeless in the Vero Beach area. Due to the warm weather, the homeless are able to live outside year-round. There are women who also live in the woods and families that live in their cars. And, for a few who have chosen a harder path, there has been success and a way out of their despair.
