The Journey From Being Homeless To Being Home

On any given night, there are 82,000 homeless sleeping on the streets of Los Angeles. About 3 years ago, the David Lynch Foundation partnered with Gettlove, a nonprofit that works one-on-one with homeless individuals to secure and sustain housing. See what happened in the video below.

The Video: Gettlove is a nonprofit in Hollywood that secures permanent housing for chronically homeless individuals and provides support services thereafter to ensure their housing is sustained. Find out more at Gettlove.org. This video was produced and edited by the David Lynch Foundation, a nonprofit that provides scholarships to teach the TM technique to at-risk populations. You can learn more about their work with the homeless here.

The Technique: Transcendental Meditation is a simple, natural, effortless technique practiced 20 minutes twice each day while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. It is easy to learn and enjoyable to practice, and is not a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle. Over six million people have learned it — people of all ages, cultures, and religions — and over 380 published, peer-reviewed research studies have found that the TM technique significantly reduces stress, anxiety, and fatigue, and promotes balanced functioning of mind and body.
