Chord beautician over most know huma foozie says nothing records the affairs of a sad life is a graphic view of the human body in a psychological sense especially to people that have been deprived early will then create conditions for themselves that will keep the position going. Because the way to cope with emotion the variation for reason. Might recount maybe to be get very hostile. If you are still going to be rejected. And thats going to reinforce your sense of being rejected in the 1st place. For you my to deal with the pain that some very will turn to addictions and all the addictions are always about pain and my mantra is not why the addiction but why the pain and make sure that thats true physiologically psychologically spiritually. So then people started engaging additions as a way of dealing with their pain but that addiction of the 1st true that i state that. Because failure is going to be with an addict the reason of the so very difficult and painful to do so but for the addict is reinforces that im all alone and over there for me and which makes them further. Inclined to engage in addictive behavior to suit that theme of sex trade worker a 27 year old said to me when i asked her what heroin did for her she said the 1st and i did heroin it felt like a war so. I was just saying it she experience the sense of love and connection which is what the endorphins do in the brain. And they die and detox a few years ago 6 was something muscles tattoo scars earring everything but it was walking towards me in an alley id run the other way when i asked him whether theyre into for you and he said i dont tell you this doc its like when youre 3 years old and your share of english you sick as a kid and your mother wraps you know one blanket put you in your lap and you just dont want chicken soup thats what their own feeling. Is that it would love. You know then you ask why cant people give it up they cant give it up because the only way they found that they can have pain relief and i pleasure and delight and reward and that sense of connection. So homelessness in the chronically homeless may be seen as a coping mechanism. Thank you sir now you say all of the charity there is day and. There. Is a prize not coming here we have a lot of that. Is the arts facility is what we call a low demand shelter their very low demand is that we dont ask you to do anything its just that they can and it will walk through the door other than their security behavior guidelines for us the definition of loaded been sheltering pleads that were not requiring any partizan ation in a program or service in order to be in the building and theres not going to be a requirement for you to be sober to be in the building you can come in and under the influence of drugs or alcohol we just cant have you bringing it in with you so its an opportunity to work with our clientele on sobriety issues and wed much rather have them inside the building and under the influence than in the safety concern on the other than. What weve got right now is welcome to our 3rd for this is our dormitory for here at the arch we were originally. Instructed on this property is a 100 bed facility they knew when they built that it was under built probably didnt know that it was in those under built as it actually is today we sleep 230 min in this facility every night versus the 100 beds that we were created with were going to take a look at the dormitories themselves during the nicely were going to sleep 100 minutes here there are Case Management clients there in a plan theyre in a program theyre working on some goals that they step through their program it may be in comes to build the it may be sobriety theres a lot of different kinds of things that Case Management will address but over night they get to sleep in our dormitories. Which are bunk bed style we have storage and underneath each bed they love being able to store their own stuff and because theyre in our Shelter Program there in our Case Management program each bed is assigned overnight to a specific individual so well have on this floor there are 100 beds and then overnight the way we get to the 230 is we also have the mats that go down the floors and were sleeping in places in this building that we were never really intended sleep including our lobby our 2 Conference Rooms as well as our dining rooms. In our overall population profile is a 35 to 45 year old caucasian male struggling with Mental Health drug and alcohol addiction we see a lot of veterans in that mix too and then weve got a lot of women and children although this is im in the overnight shelter the demographic for homelessness across the nation is changed in often just different and i think thats one of the things that we as a community have got to address is. The systemic generalization. Homelessness and 3 generations of people walking through our doors sometimes during the day and its just got to something weve got to get. So prince this is a shelter provider but were also a Housing Provider we recognise the necessity of shelter but we do look at shelter as a band aid to the issue of almost really the solution for homelessness is house if youve got limited housing opportunities youve got limited hopper to need to use to house the homeless so its really been a push in our community to get more Housing Stock on the ground so that we can solve homelessness and not just bandaid it was shelter. Without housing report was we put it out in 2006 we formed rat. And made 2005 and immediately started. Funding trends and Affordable Housing and both were all through the u. S. D. A. U. S. Department of agriculture and urban through housing and urban development and because we wanted to look at it we know the shelter system started in the late 82 early 83 and by mid 1983 was across the country by 1987 the federal government had passed almost as a Major Program of their. What the hell happened right before that. During that era we talk about all those crazy problems out there and then during the summer we deal with solutions thats right so lucians and today were going to be talking with. Those. Floor. Sudden and illegal takeover of a government by a small group. Rather than revolutionaries or soldiers small group the corporations when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us dont get together and take it back. These are sacrificing. Places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so you see things like Voter Suppression building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of undemocratic practices. In the world. The world. Of the. Headlining. Gun fire Police Clashes the 1st fatality we better wish to capital sees another night of unrest following the disputed president ial election several journalists have been detained so we will bring you the latest. Oh no were getting tear gas ok at. The moment when i put on my mosque im going on rest to the streets of beirut
