In this special edition of Unpacking Homelessness, we shift from personal interviews to collectively exploring a cinematic journey toward real solutions. Join us as we discuss Beyond the Bridge: A Solution to Homelessness, the documentary sequel to Under the Bridge (2015), which originally exposed the criminalization of homeless communities under an Indianapolis bridge.

Directed by Don Sawyer and Tim Hashko, Beyond the Bridge embarks on a nationwide mission—traveling over 40,000 miles through 12 U.S. cities—to uncover tested models of ending chronic homelessness. Highlighting places like Houston and Milwaukee, the film explores how deeply coordinated systems and Housing First approaches have led to measurable success—such as Houston housing over 30,000 people and Milwaukee achieving one of the lowest unsheltered rates in the nation.
