Video: A child's life in a homeless shelter

On any given night, more than 100 families stay at People Serving People, a homeless shelter in downtown Minneapolis.

MPR News spent time with one of the shelter's residents, a third-grader named Paris.

Note from Michael Edgerly, Executive Editor (3/22/2017): MPR News has removed the name of the child in this story and deleted a video and photo of her. As rule, we do not remove stories from our website. We broke with that policy in this instance because the well-being of the child is at stake.
