Do YOU ever stop to read the signs? Emotional campaign to break down stereotypes reveals 'new generation of homeless' to be athletes and even robot builders

It's easy and common to presume that the people living in boxes on the streets are a product of their own poor decisions. 

Sometimes its also true.

But a new campaign is attempting to breakdown the stereotypes usually associated with the homeless and show that, in a post-recession economy, losing your home happens to everyday people.

Rethink Homelessness is the product of nonprofit organization Impact Homelessness centered around a video filmed in Orlando.

Florida is one of six in the US with a homeless population above 6 percent of the total population

There are over 47,000 homeless people in Florida - about 8 percent of the total U.S. homeless population - and it is also considered the most dangerous state for people who don't have stable staple, according to The Huffington Post.

Shockingly, on any given night in the United States there are 633,782 people experiencing homelessness, according to The National Alliance to End Homelessness.

Rather than tell a story of how they got into their situation, the video features individuals with facts about themselves written on cardboard signs.

These facts break down the idea that homeless people are hopeless, showing the people - all of which are actually homeless - to be educated, athletic or ill.

One man claims to have 'built robots'.

Impact Homelessness believes its message of compassion and understanding can prompt positive change

'Since the recession began, the face of homelessness has been changing,' the organization's Facebook page reads.

'From school children to the elderly, from the barely employed to the victims of abuse ... homelessness can affect anyone ... unless we all come together to make a difference.'
