Tokyo's Homeless in the Shadow of the Olympics

The homeless in Japan are almost invisible. It's not that homelessness doesn't exist, but that they aren't ‟in your face", the way one would expect in other societies. The homeless are also dwindling in number, as they age along with the general population and are accepted by Social Welfare programs. For various reasons, some fall through the ‟safety net". With the advent of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, these urban poor are under pressure to disappear. What does the future hold for them?
