Others there say they'll do the same. Cummings says she’s been living in this van for the last two months after being evicted and leaving a long-term relationship. She also says she's on a waiting list for"I’ve always wanted to be on the other side helping the homeless. I didn’t know I’d end up like this. It’s a trip how tables get turned," Cummings said.
