Picture the Homeless is a grassroots organization based in the Bronx, founded and led by homeless people. PTH organizes for social justice around issues like housing, police violence, and what they call the "shelter-industrial complex". One of the activist events that PTH organizes each year, is mobilizing people to go out and take pictures of boarded up, "warehoused" apartment buildings. This is what housing activists refer to as "warehousing" apartments. Landowners do this speculating that they will make more money selling a (mostly) vacant building rather than having rental tenants. These pictures depict the same issues happening in East Harlem, NY
