A shot at change

Homeless people who don't have a safe, stable and permanent place to live on a daily or weekly basis are asking themselves "Where am I going to stay?" Many families resort to extended stays in dilapidated motels. Although off the streets, these motels can be expensive, dangerous, and don't allow the family to progress to a better situation for the long term.
Joshua Station was conceived to transform a Denver area motel into a clean, safe and stable community for families who want to address the issues that have kept them from permanent housing. Combining the efforts of hundreds of volunteers with the resources of many individuals, foundations and corporate partners, Joshua Station underwent $1,000,000 in renovations.
Homeless families who get accepted to live at the station get a shot at changing their lives. Volunteers try and help the parents find stable work, open a bank account, manage their finances, and build relationships with their children. If a family doesn't show improvement within a period of time or doesn't follow the station rules, they've lost their chance and are replaced by another family on the waiting list.
Visual: We'll document 2 young parents as they prepare to leave the streets and enter Joshua Station. We'll discover how they ended up where they are, and we'll follow their progress as they try to change their families' future for the better.
