This footage was filmed and produced 29 August 2021.

Across Brazil, at least 14,300 families were evicted from March 2020 to June 2021, and another 85,000 are threatened with eviction, according to the organization Zero Evictions (Despejo Zero). In Sao Paulo state alone, nearly 4,000 have been evicted, with 34,000 more threatened with eviction, it found. Sao Paulo faces a homelessness crisis, as rent prices become too heavy of a burden for an increasingly impoverished population.

The video shows the western region of Sao Paulo, Jardim Jacqueline, where a community of people in difficult life situations is concentrated, as well as Christians who donate food in lunch boxes to people in extreme poverty and street drivers in various situations. Many of these people used to live in their homes, but because of the pandemic, they lost a lot, including jobs.

Video location: Favela do Jardim Jaqueline, Homeless at CEAGESP in SP.
