Bradley Loce, 56, takes a quiet moment in his Dorothy Day House apartment in Rochester, NY on Feb. 23, 2014. "My son hasn't talked to me in fifteen years. He's ashamed of me because I'm a drunk. Can't blame him. I'm not a criminal though." Bradley has suffered from alcoholism his entire life, has struggled with chronic homelessness and mental illness diagnosis that he rejects, refusing medication. The Dorothy Day House has been in place since late 2012, providing a housing first solution for people that are on the streets.
