Joseph's House

For many homeless people who contract HIV, it's likely their last days will be in a homeless shelter or a hospital surrounded by strangers. But, in Washington D.C. - there exists an alternative for a few men who are ready and willing to take it...Joseph's House. This community of formerly homeless men with AIDS learn to live together AND to die together here as a family - something that many of them haven't had for most of their lives. Daniel Zwerdling takes us for a visit to Joseph's House.
