Relative stability. Changing perceptions of homelessness the invisible classes up next the north the documentary it see what i back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines. We have been learning. It has taken me here. And we are getting. What. You want. This is. The 100. 1. 100 pound. One of the 8. You know if theres one homeless person in the street its a bit of a huge issue in the have a Civil Society a rich society in which people have to sleep on the street earlier big i mean thats just you know. Government is not the solution to our problem government is the. First priority. Suppose there will be. One of the points that we really felt was important to get across when youre talking about cause and effect as priorities if nobodys making money on it not a commodity then it has no value and it shouldnt it isnt a priority of the federal government so housing that was just some people that was not a commodity that was just a living up to their responsibilities of the federal government to people have a clean safe and place to live thats not important anymore thats not. George Herbert Walker bush when he doesnt have his own. Water bush does. Obama do solemnly swear i told john trump do you solemnly swear. The world makes the work of the general wages. Constant or decline since the late seventys. The numbers of people. Because of the growth of the population the supply is not up to it to nearly the same extent so somebody is going to get squeezed out and somebody you know most people the moment the people over the country have been squeezed out of the bottom. So now theres a new Public Housing so the shelter system is like a Public Housing so because housing is not treated as even right in the title mind which it should be the country is both yours as well. And order for us to get. And be right back to society and company as you try to embrace all this issue thats gone on. Thats a fundamental right like having food and finish. I can buy care. Take a look at the universal declaration of human rights. As the peoples of the United Nations have in the charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights in the dignity and worth of the human person and in equal rights. Education that isnt any. One of my kind of money and its when. Its considered. Just general right actually the u. S. Doesnt accept. Universal declaration of its 6 poses most. Of that there are 3 parts of this civic and political right. Sort of social and economic. And theres cultural. And theyre all are. Doesnt just dismisses the cultural community. Rejects you know. Politicians have concluded that there is no answer because the answer requires resources i dont believe thats true i think that housing is the answer homelessness that you have to have Supportive Housing yet were not willing to prioritize that as siding in the crazy thing is that were paying for it anyway we jail a homeless person is San Francisco a cost 140. 00 a night thats about what it costs and some. Fairly nice hotels outside of the city yet we insist on believing that criminalization of almost this is the answer that if we push people who are being homeless and being mentally ill that theyre going to cure themselves and be off the streets when in fact it just becomes a cycle. Tearing their hair it. Seems. Like. I am right trish subway. Is the best. You can give me. A shilling. I have a place to stay fit with things that work great. The cell phone or on the strip. There is no presence to ensure most of the world here makes it home. As well. As if you know. You can go to the city or county and get a map its shows all of us all over the you know county. And theres over 400 miles along a long they go all the way down to the freeway and they sit there ideas that are feeling goes away or tropicana somewhere where they come out. Here this is this is someone who. Is very warm very rude youre sure you know the music you can see the known this was using the issue. Im thinking. Im tunnels in las vegas ears. This. Should. Say. My name is guy and we were it. Around 10 years ago and strays and hughes in the same situation and she didnt know what to do about them. I disaster see what. I say when the best place is hotel right and he gets beat to me go across the street and its even we came back he was gone saw the street he walked by cosmo. Just you can find the c. D. C. Reading. Now as taking years ago. You know ive been thinking over 30 years. That weve had 5 months weve had you know. How i make 467 on mr security and. Just not enough say. We do better in the summertime as against your odds and get you all. The good side mean everything a really good bad when going to charge top dollars this hour. We fly aside just a few dollars and. They gives me you know. He had all of us just a girl. She had a big girl. This is. A risk you know. And i say knowing. That this is not nice really is. You know a lot of people are one check away from the real and. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by the person of those great. Thinks. We are there to ask. Her. Ilk. Elin. You know i find myself today i know i dont look at but i found myself in a home state and you know mom homelessness is not just a building im homeless within my body because i dont know am i making the right choices and i dont live i dont know the source that amazes us asking us and makes for i need to be still and be alright where im claim im a safe and i know im not that they are doing things its going to cost me my home that it makes me you know and i dont understand our calling you want to jot down my axe murder or whatever. I want to have a chance. To when i 1st got out i was actually attacked by a guy from behind their lane he hit me in the face and gnashing choked me around my neck or survivorman. Everything then december 13th i was hit in the head with a rock from a high and they actually caught that guy couple would days later to a week i actually in the phone into a seizure due to that and my family was going to his spot was in the told to come back and check all for me because i was laying out here by they are. Its known as a body know it in in the year and its its more dangerous for women the world is more dangerous for women in that they do. They get lost in that in their. Overall tapestry of ominous news i mean everybodys hog breaks for their children 1st of all and rightly so and there is the veteran and then there is the mentally ill by you. There is a specific population called women that are having very specific needs that are we going to listen to enough so you know we made it a priority and by that we pushed through in it any beds available to them or to listen to a year ago there were hardly any beds available for them and its an unsafe for place for women to. Tell our daughters to not walk in the street a lot at night in a dark thats the sort of imagine that you have no work to go. Or know what i did when something. Or were. Were. In the us is being told in a quote to good way to figure out which song to beat your on is with yoko many planes on h. B. O. To. Me shit like push workers calling for a much higher minimum wage workers at mcdonalds wendys Dominos Pizza and more will want not the job. You were look at the federal d minimum wage is one created 938. 00 under the fair labor standards act ok which was in response to a 1000000 people wandering our nation looking for jobs it was the same and after the Depression Congress got together and started to say well we should set a standard that ensures that if somebody puts their 40 hours in a week they can afford the basics so. It makes sense and makes sense to me it makes sense to you so we take that in a brace that good the problem is they never index to do anything so they just keep picking this number out of the year and those halves of Congress Fight over debate over it and go do that and that and it and it back and forth and so. You know maybe get raised a dollar maybe its 0. 75 whatever so we sort of started this problem backwards you know we now have 3500000. 00 people experiencing homelessness in this nation and what we could tell that house the homeless. Theres tremendous efforts to try and deal with the fallout you know. Some more successful than others some different approaches like housing 1st get off the streets and then start dealing with them you know its one you know we aus omes believes in thats a new Organization Says 989 so you know thats approach we are. And i used to look at this population as. Who they are the breakdown the better and. Recently released people out of the penal system single women single women with children substance abusers alcoholics. Really really all the different factions but now we stood back and looked at the folly of that approach and realize that in order to really deal with it in this society which is couples we view them as. This whole this group falls d into 22 factions those who can work and those who cant work so we walk away with this way its 77 dollars in the quarter and d but i i live in america and anybody whos lived in america has traveled anybody whos traveled is travel to some place which is more expensive than where they came from and they travel someplace with less expense right now the government uses the concept of one size fits all. They keep doing its like 70 court for everybody so whether you lose in washington d. C. Or whether you live in a harley engine texas theyre going to set it to 7 decor right now theres talk of raising it to 10. 00 an hour well the day that adds pass to 10. 00 an hour thats the president is promoting for. Something to get one minimum wage homeless worker off the streets of washington d. C. At the same time that 10. 00 an hour wage is going to hurt Small Business and will america and make no mistake most of america is rule theyre trying to push a round. Peg in a square hole and theyve been doing it over and over again and what happens is its a very soft mork approach to our nation is made of a 1000. So nice you know we devised. A Single National formula based on existing government guidelines. I think. Very are. About the load. Anywhere you can hear people talk and. That is why you need yeah. Oh you wouldnt do you. Think let me ringback see do you can help me with it. Forever even if you have. A little more. Here. You will lose your money. So here the road home we have a family show for women shelter in them and shelter so one of the big fears that our families have when they come down from the shelter is that all of us are. Child and Family Services is going to be involved in their getting their kids away i mean worked very closely with. The c. P. S. We work very hard to reassure families that that thats not how it works their families are also subject to the whims of whether its economic instability the or family instability or health problems. Family is run out of resources and theyre not able to stay in their apartment anymore or stay with family or stay with friends or stay in a hotel. But a lot of times by the time the families that walk through those doors theyve exhausted all of those resources. How are you getting so wet child oh yes so we have this huge playground theres. You know they have the ramp for all of the kids the stuff like that and still are still. They have this grassy area over here we try to keep the kids away from the gate just because of the semen on because this is the mens side of the shelter we are slide in the playground for the kids and stuff like that. Ive been on and off homelessness since having for the 1st 6 months of his life were stable and then i lost my job which intel lost my burman. But for you know for after that 6 months we did pretty well you know we stayed with friends here and there we stayed with family but it sank i kind of started to feel like i was a burden these people you know because then they have to deal with my kid having his little fits in this that. You know i got another job and i was paying for hotel rooms you know 2 weeks out of each page i could i just got really expensive really pricey so you get it youre just like all right well im going to keep doing it im going to do and i got to get up i got to work. Only with having a kid a child with special abilities you kind of. You dont really get much time expression when youre a single parent you dont at all youre constantly on the go on doing this doing that picking up this picking up that its. So you resort to of course a drug that makes you stay awake there isnt that surprisingly i got off it by myself i didnt go to rehab or anything i just kind of kicked it. Ive been clean for 3 months. And weve been. There are about 150 beds in this large storm area. For families who have small children it will be like if its a single mom in a small one or 2 year old will share one of these small little bunks. And each family is allowed one of these totes per person so this has to be able to fit basically all of your earthly belongings in it. And thats not a lot of space as you can tell. Its tough for families. And one of the great frustrations here in salt lake is that theres a substantial lack of Affordable Housing and so thats one of the barriers that clients have is finding a place that they can continue to afford after our assistance ends clients a lot of times face other barriers to getting housing whether its on their criminal background or they have evictions from prior apartments and so it can sometimes be really difficult for clients to find a place to live that will accept them with their background or with the funding from the road home. To help them get out of the rut that their him. Seemed wrong. But ill. Just tell all. Let me. Get to shape the out to stay active. And engaged with. The trail. When something is find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. United states economy resembles to a large degree the economies of countries that the United States typically makes fun of you know the u. S. Or the United Nations will send aid and theyll send money to countries like say in africa for example not big on africa but it does happen where the money never gets distributed it just ends up if he did leaders of that particular country and then they become fabulously wealthy. By john and its closer to war that conflict over and ill go to. A 2nd week we report from inside the disputed caucuses there a trick.
