Tiffany sweeps outside her room at Shannon West.
Southern Nevada has one of the highest rates of unaccompanied homeless youth in the nation. Shannon West Homeless Youth Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, is one of few shelters providing assistance for them. They navigate questions about their gender identity and sexuality, what they want to do for work, how to save money. They fall in and out of love, get jobs and open their first savings accounts. Through the isolating journey of homelessness, these teens and young adults find a sense of normalcy in navigating adulthood, hardships and victories together. These images capture life at Shannon West over the summer of 2016.
