Court did you should know this know you my foo 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 are beef deprived early. Well they create conditions for themselves that will keep the definition going. Because the way to cope with emotion that aeration for example might be found 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 bear 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 im sure that thats true physiology psychologically spiritually. So then people started engaging additions as a way of dealing with their pain or that addiction with their 1st true that i state that. Because cellular is going to be overnight it reasonably 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 soothe that pain a 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 she experienced a sense of love and connection which is what the endorphins do in the brain. And a guy in 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 was like when you 3 years old and youre shaving because youre sick as a kid and your mother wraps you know one blanket put you in her lap and you just dont want chicken soup thats what their own feeling. Is that we 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 have pleasure and delight and reward and the sense of connection. So homelessness in the chronically homeless may be seen as a coping mechanism. Thank you sir its a hell of a charity there is day and. There was. Surprise an upcoming year we had a lot of that. Was the arts facility is what we call a low demand shelter theyre very low demand is that we dont ask you to do anything its just that theyve been ordered to walk through the door other than their security and behavior guidelines for us the definition of loaded been sheltering fluids that were not requiring any or to is a should in a program or service in order to be in the building 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 all salvageable. What weve got right now is welcome to our 3rd floor this is our dormitory floor here at the arch we were originally constructed 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 but 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 every night they get to sleep in our dormitories. Which are bunk beds style we have in 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 some 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 room. 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 austin no different and i think thats one of the things that we use a community youve got to address. The systemic generalization of homelessness and 3 generations of people walking through our doors sometimes during the day and its just something that weve got to get on. So princess is a shelter provider but were also a Housing Provider we recognize the necessity of shelter but we do look at shelter as a bandaid to the issue of really the solution. If youve got limited housing opportunities youve got limited opportunities 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 funding as a Major Program of their. What the hell happened right before that. Jointly every. Time im sure and ill be speaking to. Politics. Im show business. Well the pandemic no certainly no borders im just blind to nationalities. You. Know so much we dont know which we dont look like seem to be just saying the chief. Judge of. Commentary crisis with this system tends to want times we can do better and we should. Everyone is contributing each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been so many good people are helping us. It makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. The.
