Become a battleground in the us in vermont people love demanding the shutdown of a local plant from yankee is right now my focus because its a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on wheres the power in this country wheres it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional gist of. Power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real. Struggle. Guys are financial survival. When customers go by youre reduced. To now well reduce and lower. Thats undercutting the whats good for food markets. Its not good for the global economy. Class as an american citizen but he didnt want to talk thats. Fine with us to die and i think.

She and i divorce because our trouble is elected president and i floated for her and she could stand for. Most important election. In our history list in the months to go before the next president ial election is the atmosphere in the us now i. Want to the highest Priority Programs only they vote they do next. Just some of the questions we put to the american. Seemed wrong. Rowles just dont hold. Any beliefs yet to shape out just because thats ok and in the game equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. The 1st night i was homeless. That was a scary. Person. Because. I didnt have to show up with carter he didnt kill thats right i was like ok. Theres old kinds of scary people out here. Care you know i mean theres all kinds of scary people right and im from the mountains im from up in the mountains and then i get dropped down out here is. In the middle of the book down there you got bugs. Rog just. Where do you get. Any worse thing you can. Do you. Seen it watched it. In a pretty. I was a girl stabbed.

To see we have heard right through you know. Theyre all gone. Past when the story. My mom might well my father killed himself and was fives. Then my step dad it was my dad because i didnt even know my dad really was. Here he was a lumberjack up there and careless of them can set a tree fall on. Him cut down a tree last thing he remembered when the tree hit the ground so you got parallel. He died i was in prison and he died. My mom she died 6 a double pneumonia in 2005. But 2. Thank you lord for been my friend says he holds near again and run love your brother. Thank you for helping me. And i will get by another day i will get by another day because i will. If you had a magic wand waving giving everyone. In the family back. My family. My grandmother. He was here you know i just looked. For my grandma back in maybe or i just dont. You. Dont. Because i tell you everything im like. I didnt mean it but. I know you know if. You wanted to know. So i said. Oh magically. My family has followed and i dont want to. Talk like you want to know what the right. I call it the jewish and all of this now you must who says nothing because the face of a sad life is a graphic. In a psychological sense a subsidy to people that are before deprived early voting create conditions for themselves. Keeping the creation going. Because the way to cope with emotion that parish and for example might be might be to be get very hostile. And be rejected. And thats going to reinforce your sense of being rejected in the 1st place. Or you might to deal with the pain that some terrible 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 put us through physiology psychologically spiritually. So then people started engaging additions as a way of dealing with their pain but that addition of the 1st true that i state that. Because the inner is going to deal with an addict the reason of the soul is very difficult and painful to do so but for the addict it 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 start. And what shes saying is she experienced a sense of love and connection which is what the endorphins do in the brain. And they die in detox a few years ago 6 was something muscles tattoo scars earing everything but if i 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 dog 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 on your lap and you just dont want chicken soup thats what their own feeling. Is that i would love. To know then you ask why cant people give it up they can give it up because the only way they found that they can have pain relief and know i have pleasure and delight and reward and a 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 i. Am really. Surprised not coming here we have a lot of that. The arts facility is what we call a low demand shelter their. 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 for just a short 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 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 osce other than. What weve got right now is welcome to our 3rd floor this is our dormitory for here at the arch we were originally constructed on this property as a 100 bed facility they knew when they built that it was under built probably didnt know that there was another under built as it actually is today we sleep 230 min in this facility every night 1st was the 100 beds that we were created with take a look at the dormitories. Themselves during the night sleep were going to sleep 100 minutes here there are Case Management clients theyre in a plan theyre in a program theyre working on some goals that theyve set through their program it may be incomes to build the 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 some storage and underneath each bed they love being able to store their own stuff and because theyre in our Shelter Program in our Case Management program each bit is assigned overnight to a specific individual so well have on this floor there are 100 bunk 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 to 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 the 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 a mens overnight shelter the demographic for homelessness across the nation is changed in austin so different and i think thats one of the things that we as a community have got to address is. The systemic generalization of homelessness and the regenerations of Homeless People walking through our doors sometimes during the day and its just kind of something weve got to get on. So prince this is a shelter provider but were also a Housing Provider we recognize the necessity of shelter but we do. Shelter is a band aid 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 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 because we wanted to look at we know the shelter system started in the late eightys early 83 and by mid 1983 was across the country in 1907 the federal government had passed almost as a Major Program of their. What the hell happened right before that. 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 the leaders of that particular country and then they become fabulously wealthy. And it remains unclear who will be the occupant in the white house this january. Predict this is the state of the economy for tens of millions of citizens it appears what is called the recovery is permanently dividing the country and the house and have nots and this seems to be acceptable for those who are. New become a battleground in the u. S. People of demanding the shutdown of the local plant from yankee is right now my focus because its a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on wheres the power in this country wheres it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is your power line with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways.
