Andy Falk: Homeless and Precarious Faces Project
Marin County | California
For the last few weeks, I’ve been taking photos for Andy Falk and his Homeless & Precarious Faces blog on Facebook.
“Encouraging everything from random acts of kindness to mentorship. See someone you know or want to help? Please try to do something for them.”
As part of his effort’s to help unhoused citizens in Marin, Andy is interviewing members of the San Rafael Downtown Streets Team, and using these interviews to publicize the success of the program and it’s participants. The Streets Team is working to reduce homelessness in various ways, including daily work experience keeping the San Rafael’s downtown bright and shiny. The goal of the project is to prepare members for permanent employment and housing.
Andy approached Streets Team Project Director Andrew Hening a few weeks ago with his Facebook idea, and has already helped find employment for several team members, furniture for new apartments, and bicycles to help team members move around Marin County.
Andy is an example of how one person can make a difference.
Thank you Ron! It’s been great going out with you, you’ve really got a way with capturing people’s images. One thing I’d like to add, I’m not just an example of how one person can make a difference, but how we all can make a difference.

You’re right, but my time has almost past. It’s now up to the younger generation.
