Clentel – Street2Feet Interview

Clentel never thought he’d spend time in a shelter, but when a long-term relationship ended along with his permanent residence in Stroudsburg, Pa., he found himself in one. “I was living with my kid’s mom, and she decided she wanted to move to another state. I wanted to stay here, so I had to figure out my own way,” Clentel explained. “I was working at the ShopRite, and was living in a hotel nearby. After I got sick, I had to stay home from work and got behind in my rent. I eventually got kicked out of the hotel.”
