Oak Park-native Chris Bakke spent his first days on the streets of Chicago in 2005 after his job was outsourced to Mexico. Outside of a few odd jobs, Chris has struggled to find full-time employment. He spends his days collecting money to pay for a nightly hotel room and his daily meals. I met Chris outside the Sears in downtown Chicago, where I first met Joseph Phillips.
Listen to Chris' story.
NOTE: Chris refers to a Link card, which is an Illinois electronic food stamp program. Read more about the Link program here.
