I have previously shared my review of the documentary Americans With No Address that investigated the homeless crisis in America. It captured the untold stories of those experiencing homelessness. The making of the No Address movie is what inspired that documentary. And now No Address is releasing in theaters.
No Address
Synopsis: Homeless at 17, Lauren lost everything—except the will to survive. On the streets, she finds new meaning in a family of outcasts and discovers that home is where the hope is. No Address is a gripping journey of living without walls and rising above them. Starring Lucas Jade Zumann, Beverly D’Angelo, Isabella Ferreira, William Baldwin, Xander Berkeley, Ty Pennington, Kristanna Loken, Patricia Velasquez, and Ashanti, this powerful film dares you to believe in second chances.
Here are some statistics:
As of 2023, in the United States alone, over 2/8 million people experienced homelessness.
More than half of them were children.
Between 2022 and 2023, street-level homelessness increased 12% nationwide, if this rate continues, street-level homelessness will double in 5-6 years.
Nearly 1 in 3 foster youth in California face homelessness after leaving the child welfare system.
Robert Craig Films is using the power of film to inspire action in local communities. They are deeply committed to addressing the urgent issue of homelessness and have pledged that 50% of the net profits from their five No Address productions will be donated to a diverse range of organizations and churches nationwide that are tirelessly working to combat the homelessness crisis within their communities.
No Address is an exploration of hope, humanity, and resilience as characters navigate challenges with no physical address.

No Address Movie Review
No Address is a powerful, gritty movie. It does not gloss over the realities of the homeless population. Does No Address do a perfect job of showing what homelessness is like? No. But I think the scope of the homelessness problem is much too large for just one movie. As there is not just one reason why someone might be homeless. And not one solution to fixing the homelessness problem.
I do think that No Address brings the reality of homelessness to those that haven’t experienced it. Or know someone that has. If more people are aware, then more people can help. In whatever capacity that means for each of us.
That being said, I think the story line is a good one. No Address shows us several reasons why the characters are experiencing homelessness, and a little of what life on the streets may be like for some. As well as the bonds of friendship and family among the characters. And they show one solution to help solve the problem. Faith based ministries.
Movie Details
No Address is not yet rated. This movie is definitely not for young kids. There is domestic violence, street fighting with a stabbing, a mother dying in front of her young daughter, language, as well as drugs and alcohol. I think that young teens will be bothered by some of the content. I would watch first, then determine if my teen was able to watch this movie.
I’ll end with a couple of quotes from the movie.
Compassion, love, and faith conquers all. Anyone can be just a few short steps from being homeless. But there is a way home.
So next time you see someone in need, have faith because He might be working a miracle through you to bring someone back home for good.
There is a way home. The answer is simple. Love.

It would be interesting to see what being homeless could be like.
I’d like to see it because it’s about a serious issue.
Because it would be good to be more informed.
These movies are so well made. Thanks for sharing.
I want to see this movie with my family because this is an is an important issue.
It’s such an important topic to discuss. thank you for the info and giveaway!
Thx for the chance!! 🤗
I think homelessness is an important issue that needs to be addressed in our country.
A very real problem we face in this contry. Looks like a great film.
A glimpse into homelessness via a movie is likely much easier to deal with than the reality of it. I think I would want to see this movie for the education of it.
