So i said that. Magic. Has owed. Me if you want to know it think it right there. I quote the edition of this no you my foo says nothing records the affairs of a sad life as aggressively as the boy in the psychological sense especially to people that have been deprived early. Well they create conditions for themselves that will keep the definition going. Because the way to cope with emotion that variation for example might become maybe to be get very hostile. If you are 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 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 cellular is going to be overnight it reasonably so its very difficult and painful to do so but for the addict it reinforces that im all alone in the reader for me and which makes them further. Inclined to engage in addictive behavior to suit that theme of 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 zone. 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 and detox a few years ago 6 was something muscles have to scars earing everything but if i was walking towards me in an alley id run the other way when i asked them where they are and do for you and he said i dont tell you this dog was like when you 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 i 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 the sense of connection. So homelessness in the chronically homeless may be seen as a coping mechanism. Thank you sir. You see all of the charity there is day and. There was. A surprise not coming here we have a lot of that. 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 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 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 offical. 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 and 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 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 room. 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 has 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 regeneration of 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 look at shelter as a band aid to the issue of almost really the solution is house 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 as a Major Program of their. What the hell happened right before that. Nuclear become a battleground in the us. And people loved the shutdown of a local plant from my. Right. Now my focus because its a very dangerous. 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 a just a. Power line with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways. Seemed wrong. And you get to shape out disdain and become educated and engagement equals betrayal.
