About INVISIBLE PEOPLE

Invisible People is a Los Angeles–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 27-2079758) that uses documentary video, journalism, podcasts, and advocacy to humanize people experiencing homelessness and to influence public opinion and policy. The EIN 27-2079758 is the organization’s registered federal EIN as shown on the organization’s official website and in public nonprofit databases.

Since its 2008 founding, Invisible People has produced large-scale digital storytelling campaigns, social-impact films, a news section focused on homelessness policy, and the "Homeless Unfiltered" podcast. In the last 2–3 years the organization released a new social-impact film (Displaced), expanded its podcast and reporting work, published an organizational impact report, and continued to leverage its digital reach to drive advocacy and public education.

Notable achievements

Social-impact film production

Produced multiple social-impact documentaries, including the organization’s fourth film, "Displaced" (released with an associated impact campaign in 2024), which centers the criminalization and displacement of people experiencing homelessness.

Large digital audience and reach

Built a multi-million-view audience for its videos and reporting (YouTube and social platforms), using that reach to drive donations, public engagement, and direct referrals that have helped connect people to services and housing over time.

Sustained journalism and podcasting

Expanded editorial and audio work with the "Homeless Unfiltered" podcast and ongoing news coverage, producing substantial original reporting, interviews with people with lived experience, and practical advocacy toolkits and impact reporting in the past 2–3 years.
