New Exhibit Aims To Break Stereotypes About Homelessness

Cleveland is home to the state's largest homeless shelter -- 2100 Lakeside run by Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry. That shelter is the focus of a new photography exhibit on the campus of Cleveland State University. It aims to tackle stereotypes about homelessness by telling the stories of some of the shelter's residents. ideastream®'s Eric Wellman sat down with Michael Sering, the shelter's director and photographer Lydia Bailey. Bailey started taking pictures when she began working as the shelter's volunteer coordinator.
