During the day, Mel Vezina supervises and mentors high school boys who live on campus at the California School for the Deaf in Fremont.
At night, he sleeps in his van.
One year ago, after working for more than a decade at the school, and living out of his van, Vezina saved enough money to buy a house in Sacramento with the help of a roommate. He lives there on weekends, but to avoid the fatigue of long commutes and soaring gas prices, he lives and sleeps in his van during the week.
