Maggie Brooks, 17, sleeps outside in her backyard at her home in Colorado Springs during the Night Out Project in November. The project raises awareness and funds for homeless youths, and allows people to experience the challenges they face each night without shelter. The Night Out Project is an annual fundraiser for the The Place, a nonprofit that helps youths get out of homelessness. (Chancey Bush/The Gazette)
