Thanks to Robert Craig Films for providing a sample of the product for this review. My opinions are my own.
Winter. This is the time of year when watching new films and series is nearly a national pastime. Making now the right time to watch the new documentary, “Americans With No Address: The Documentary.” An inspirational new documentary film from The Americans With No Address team, a non-profit group working to raise awareness and offer community-based solutions to homelessness in America. Through a five-production approach, focusing on both documentaries, including “Americans With No Address,” on Prime Video, aiming to break the cycle of homelessness in the United States.
Both feature films provide an easy-to-follow, comprehensive plan and educational format that brings together a broader effort to build empathy and compassion for those experiencing homelessness. In addition to these powerful films, these documentaries offer viewers action-based solutions to homelessness in everyday American communities.
Focusing on increases in homelessness in recent years, filmmakers interview dozens of people, including experts, government officials, homeless people, doctors, and charity workers to hypothesize methods to house America’s unhoused communities, the millions of Americans lacking basic needs including medical care, housing, educational opportunities, and workplace initiatives. Exploring the homelessness epidemic across twenty domestic towns and cities, across eighteen American states. Focusing on the disconnect between government officials, law enforcement, physicians, social workers, educators, nonprofit groups, the clergy, and the unhoused themselves.
According to filmmakers, homelessness rose 12% in 2023, to 653,104 people. With one-third of the domestic population knowing a family member or a friend who became homeless in the last year. The film offers targeted governmental blame with little to no concern made of non-profit agencies collecting community funding that has not made it to its intended need.
Despite the film’s disturbing content dealing with crime, poverty, substance abuse, and mental illness, a film that may not be suitable for pre-teen children, this is a documentary with an uplifting perspective based on inherent dignity, “Americans With No Address,” offers viewers the opportunity to find non-profits in their communities to help become part of the solution. The GOP-sponsored IMD Exclusion Act of 1965, left the problem of homelessness to the states. Taking away the Federal government’s ability to offer assistance to homeless persons between the ages of 21 and 65.
Measures that despite the GOP gutting of the 2013 plan to bolster federal funding to HUD housing for homeless persons without requiring treatment for substance addiction recovery and mental health illnesses domestically. Believing that private programs such as the Salvation Army can offer more balanced, beneficial help. Despite the non-profit’s agreement to pay more than $1.87 million to resolve claims, it failed to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) when procuring job applicant background checks, and many of its housing charities and thrift stores were closed nationally.
“Americans With No Address: The Documentary,” is a well-meaning film that speaks to the need to revamp both bureaucratic agencies and non-profit organizations aiding the unhoused within the United States. Sharing stories of those involved on both sides of this issue, the unhoused communities and the various charity workers, through myopic optimism.
