Screening: HOME IS A HOTEL

HOME IS A HOTEL

From a single mother trying to find her missing daughter to an elderly woman who is going blind and facing eviction, the low-income residents of San Francisco’s single room occupancy housing tell their stories.

Across America, cities are struggling with homelessness and housing affordability. How does one decades old solution – cramped Single Room Occupancy units – impact the lives of those who live in them? Home Is a Hotel takes you inside San Francisco’s SRO housing through intimate portraits of their residents filmed over five years. This character-driven, verit- documentary immerses viewers in what it means to call a single room home in the heart of one of America’s richest cities. Screening is followed by a filmmaker Q & A.
