places where i cook, alexandra exxon's, a line looks after people living on the margins of society. yep. hoover, i hear a lot of people say they feel bothered by the side of beckers. so how is that possible? and that's fine, but what bothers me is that we allow this people sleeping outside and sub 0 temperatures from cartilage. alexandra has joined the fight against luck, some birds, new poverty. and for people like sailors who can't find an affordable place to live . interesting, so i'm angry with the government because they don't do anything to exact what fee they do. a lot of talking to people like spending 210000000 on new apartments button. where are they? what is the

luxembourg in a financial hub and home to accomplish shel companies along with the european court of justice in the grand duchy? every one in 15 residence is a millionaire. in the shadows of the fancy stores and office buildings lies the home of stefan and fit in pretty good. alexandra met the 2 hun, gary and man on the street and is determined to help them step on and see it and live under a bridge together with their dogs, chilly and pity. they've been here for 7 years now. temperatures are expected to drop to minus 7 tonight, but that doesn't seem to bother them much. because i have

a lamp with the power back on oh, yeah, yeah. on the for reading at night. you know, these and they say luck. semper treats homeless residents. well, you been and you get when you get the health insurance card these i guess own type of card i can use it to go to the dentist and then problem and to other doctors tune that are no problem under and you don't pay for anything . costello's fannings tells us how he lost his teeth from years of drug abuse and that he was given these dentures free of charge here. yeah. so that in hungary this is unthinkable. i, missouri, think of the issue. i got a full lead. i don't care where i live, whether hungry or here. here is better said become i have no family familiar hungry

is racist with crazy politicians. what do you think are crazy or automatic? they're autobahn is a horrible man. a few best said he, there's no racism or aggression here. ok, there's good money here. he had a good, a good that good, good there. and good charities. cute it's haven't you said was he's having in german going to be high. so don't you haven't, haven't seen him of a few minutes. yeah. alexandra has spent the past 25 years looking after homeless people like stefan and fans at this noise. that's one of the hoses. homelessness is so visible now. no, it is. what's also new are the tensions with roma, the organized spinning the bed last. oh, we never had that before. it does have to be in the months my life become

michelle, on the roof of all sometimes get a call from a shop owner of the of the asking me to come over and take in a homeless person near their business advised us the spanish quote thus the century, i know they say as it hurts our image, an image and it puts off customers. hollins is finished in the stuff kind for comments about context confidence. i believable. it sounds like they're saying come and clean up our streets. comp puts or sticks to austin's olva. my bill feels like people are trying to sweep the issue into the round. sophistic lasted, alexandra runs a charity association called stem fund. us through us, or voice of the street. charlotte sequester took of a, it's an extremely high pressure job, and that's why yes,

outside dozens of people in need are waiting for hot meals in the office. alexandra and her colleagues have to organize everything for the end of year party in 2 weeks time with hundreds of homeless people. and the guest of honor has just confirmed he'll be coming to the head of stage, grand duke, only of luxembourg. it's noon and a growing stream of people arrived at alexandra soup kitchen from the area around the railway station. most of the people in need have a migrant background, but they're also joined by long time lux and burgers, a retired nurse myself. i bet he is extremely worried about rising prices in the country and city most really even if you have a decent tension, it's getting harder and harder to lose year. yeah, i would say everything's really expensive. after even close the side to hours everything. oh yeah. this is why alexandra felt compelled to set up

a clothing outlet. one floor up. this is everything. offrey declines. i did. we get our clothes from collections that we do regularly. i'm kind of simple common. we also created this workshop to provide jobs. oh lord, it's about 5 tickets. alexander's team is helping josie. rodriguez find the sweater pants and the cab? yes, it is under last summer. just a left his home country of portugal to come here with big hopes for the same reason. but i got the, i want it to work here, but there are hardly any jobs or something for what kind of work do you want? i put in for construction so, but there's nothing to do right now. no, i just the nose he'd be doing far worse. if it weren't for voice of the street. he can't afford an apartment and is currently sleeping in

a shelter located above a center for drug addiction. m a e commerce, uh, in the new luxembourg is a rich countries, but that doesn't guarantee your work divide, you go things are going downhill with the construction sector. so, and if you don't have an address like me, but then you get practically 0 help from the state. no, no, no, to the worst case. i'll go back to portugal. when the construction industry was booming, here people actually say we're in big demand now like many others, he's falling through the cracks. poverty and luxembourg is becoming increasingly visible. at the same time, the country tops the european g. d p. rankings. in 2022 looks and burgers earned an average of 119230 years. in germany, the figure was 46150, and in france, 38590 euros. the

bionic boards is a painter and decorator in a similar situation too. shows a, he's out of work to qualify for welfare. presidents have to be $25.00 piece 20 to the lowest time. give solve this, getting difficult to find anything these days. there are more and more foreigners coming in mind comb a job and they get everything blown up. they're starting to click smokies in luxembourg. those are left to get by on their own work done. but some of you all black um let me live and fuck, there are a lot of french people coming over to work because they don't earn as much back home to few 15 in the game don't. then they get jobs and places less than burgers don't stand a chance. initials, they were basically less out in the cold and they get to have a nice light is close and then the homes. i'm not quite sleep. so besides look

sorry. uh, they take care of the foreigners, but not us, you know, and that's why i say lots and burgers have been left high and dry and we can look as much as we want, but we won't find anything to do. next. no. janik is angry about increasing competition on the job market as well. just again, i'm the kind of person who likes working on i don't want to live off the stage. so to so if i'm offered a job as a heating technician or a tyler and then i'll do it, i truly go dogs, please leave on the i'll even if i don't have any experience as long as you can pay me some of those skills. janik isn't the only one who feels this way. many people on the street feel disadvantaged by switch to the internet and the time the government at their eyes opened and provided full housing benefits on the escape guns too. they even got to have all these immigrants being welcomed with open arms

and you know, have to be perfectly honest, our government doesn't give a damn about lots of murders or beginning exams, that emotional, but they don't really do anything for us. the stuff they're doing since becoming unemployed. younique's like the to hon. gary and stuff on. and fans has been making his way to alexandra soup kitchen every lunch time where he can get a hot meal for $0.50 and $1.00 floor off in the same building. the voice of the streets, very own newspaper team or working on their next edition. another little enterprise designed to give people like sash complet, a path back to work almost like it was good. at 1st i've gotten the ticket. how am i supposed to start writing articles, so to be sure, if it was good, so i got down to it and started writing the balance is at 1st at home and by hand altogether another. so the editor was really impressed with a lot of the stuff,

and then they sat me down at the computer over there. and i started writing should the street paper covers a range of issues from conservative politicians, demanding a ban on begging to renewable energy. sash himself mainly writes about the housing shortage with tips from editor in chief. so it was like brown. while that some of this, this is leticia a piece on it's a nice done to additional media don't cover implants and engineering is kind of, we're in touch with people in the problems which we learned about 1st time in this, in the 6 on the stuff that we reports and the language, the same people understand what their priorities and mind expression on it, and that's our strengths. we hung up this we are the voice of the street isn't such a shipment of costs sales and his colleague, mary, len. fudge are both welfare recipients. they know from personal experience, what it means to be the 4 and the grand duchy of luxembourg. this the last,

it's shown. it is tough when you don't have any money, but you can call people who do have money, can afford everything they want to spend money. but if you don't, it's difficult to get by really community. and by that's cool. the on the bus escapes of and it's not as if there's one group with everyone sticking together like no forget so, so you have to read and the poor. and there's a big divide. the spice of books to distribute the street newspaper to subscribers here in the wealthy old town area of luxembourg city like the ministry of culture stem from the us plus with the newspapers from salvage and mary lens perspective, there's something wrong behind the sleek facade. they want the government to

take action against the rising hardship in 202219.4 percent of the population face poverty or social exclusion. the sounds believes the most pressing issue is the housing market crisis. he himself has chronic inflammatory back pain and is no longer fully fit to work. and he is also suffering from the aftermath of a sales marriage. i'm not there, so i do. i was married for 16 years suggested you know, 5 and when we got divorced on this cuz she had to leave our apartment to help us. do you kind of went to the law here. says that the husband has to go. because these 2 adults is that so far gone to among liskey because he is someone who lives on social benefits known as a ready in luxembourg. it's been difficult for him to find an apartment a month on

that just base. the conversation started out really relaxed as clicking on i thought when i said where i worked and what i earned. and i've technically, the mood suddenly change is easy. and then the guy said no need these. because rabies are considered anti social or too lazy to work, isn't to follow them to all back and talking to them at the same time. so just neighborhood has become increasingly have and increasingly expensive. the federal can here, they wants to turn this into a luxury neighborhood. there are apartments being built where you'll soon be paying 800000 euros for a 35 square meter to him flat. so too often to the house, but it's far too expensive. here to tell you this tiny room is sounds as home manjeet. as you can see, it's pretty humble the that there is what i survive on. the microwave of that to me . clover his 18 year old son sleeps on the couch across

the room. and this shared single room apartment doesn't come cheap. this was he hasn't even launched design paying $770.00 euro is for 20 square meters. certainly i don't even have a kitchen because it's a good thing. i get along with my exit with 50 so i can cook at her sometimes. otherwise you'll get to just be bachelor's meals microwave or can't or that some of that because i don't know said it was interesting. so if you my mad at the government's because they don't do anything, they do a lot of talking, but it's like spending 210000000 on new apartments, one of them. but where are they? do you see a history? the other, there's so many big and places and there's dancer been able to, i've registered for apartments all over the place, but nothing happens to be back in the private market is out of the question,

does each month for alexandra? the housing shortage is an explosive issue. that could divide luxembourg society even more, but she's determined to do something about it. for years, sophie ologist had been comparing it to a ticking time bomb. a situation that politicians had been ignoring for far too long, says antoine paku, an expert on the housing market in luxembourg. he says the main problem is an extreme concentration of land ownership and related real estate speculation, price of land, and the price of flats. over time, so if i can not, this is almost there is an offline for housing sitting here behind acceptance owned by a small portion of the population on. that's great. on the truth. our studies show that 0.5 percent of looks and burgers on 50 percent of the building and also to get

off the coffee alternately for about $3000.00 wealthy families who have inherited these extremely valuable properties. also called april 5th. i'm, you know, they have no interest in building housing fix. yeah, sure. now i'm on that off. i mean, i said objective request through corporate submission to dynamic economic development means dr. properties will increase in value by 5 or 10 percent a year. anyway, of all deciding c, set deep all over the last 8 years. property prices have sort by 74 percent and rents by 41 percent. recently the government has started to build affordable social housing. it's a policy change that's come far too late. says antoine pet. cool. so at the moment that luxemburg, only 2 percent of the housing in the country is affordable housing. so this,

this is extremely low for, for standards of europe, especially for neighboring countries. who have, you know, been investing of this kind of housing for the last 100 years. luxembourg is starting extremely late and from an extremely low level. so ideally, we should get this sector up to 152025 percent. he wants to see people like salvage janik and she has a spirit, the consequences of outdated policy. patrick claim on can also speak from experience. she spent 5 years on the streets and apartment was the luxury he couldn't afford. but patrick got lucky. he pays a relatively modest $580.00 euros a month for an apartment, including a kitchen, bathroom and basement. a subsidized flat, provided by alexandra is organization. guest

trustworthy. i couldn't cope with the situation. i was in at the time and got involved with drugs and others. but luckily i got help from alexandra and stem fun dish to us. and of course, they said you're not an idiot. ok. and it's not too late to make something of your life. it comes as much last time name vendor gets otherwise. you'll never get out of this vicious cycle and if it's quiet, these metals. patrick's hard to began when his ex girlfriend died in a tragic accident. this was followed by alcohol, cocaine, and heroin abuse. is 5 to come on, i was an addict, especially to what you might not notice now is that i was deep into drugs because of my ex is death shop. there's a few that you have to even do made up of the process. i went through a lot of things on the street that give some info and then there was this place you could go and you were told just you're in good hands. it comes with you and there's someone who will listen to you yet. patrick's been clean for 14 years and now

spends his afternoons working for the voice of the street. 20 without them, i'd still be on the street with a rather i wouldn't be here and i'm grateful for their help difficulties. the voice of the street also runs this laundry and has a working arrangements with a major supermarket chain. again, we pick up fruits and vegetables, everything and bring it here. and once we've checked it, we distributed among various groups of toner. every day, michelle con. righty drives to the biggest supermarket in luxembourg. it's located in the wealthy business district of the capital's carriage bound area to collect food right before it expires with the help of volunteers.

mendoza. i'm retired and used to be in charge of environmental issues at the store . don't care about sustainability and social issues as opposed we can't allow food to end up in the trash. it's better to donate it to people in the sun. you know, why don't maybe put this in it when i was a manager here. i always told alexandra that when i retired, i'd help out at the volunteer ridgemont. if i miss you on guys, that's how i ended up inch damage on this task. you guys didn't put us both. they need volunteers as to what you get to look through, and this is my way of making a small contribution for what i meant to ask you to please fill the pretty trouble

. cut off the food recycling system, which insures the coal chain is maintained was introduced by de luca. your voice of the street is largely funded by tax payers. but donations are also important. a group of managers from the big retail company has just arrived for a visit. i need you to focus people. okay, and let's go. that's good for these visitors, have donated a vacuum ceiling machine and i was thinking about becoming more involved. i don't think i've got the 14 tulsa food of mine, just function. that's not bad. it's 14 tons that don't get thrown away and get used

in our soup kitchens. they make 800 meals a day across the country. no, said as to all the kitchens are stuffed by people who used to be unemployed. a lot of them are refugees, like how soon do the me and get our kids. the user does this from the dice sites. i'm headed up to 2015. but i'm the director of the water. can some companies here they learn the skills that will prepare them for the local job market. one story above alexandra is reading some disturbing news. the company's mission will never succeed with that. and they tried it last time. no

way, 9 people come to the store. the government has passed a band on begging to beat that and been disabled. and if it's banned, empty, lots of people will be forced into a life of crime that hopefully will just fail if they're shifting the problem somewhere else. and the, the pin, the what else would i didn't do, but we'll still see the people either at gas stations or in supermarkets. but what they're really saying is, we don't want poor people in the old town where the rich people are used to high school or to of. how does that come before? i feel like don quixote fighting windmills comes. i've gotten used to this over the last 25 years. yeah. but we've never had this many people before with type a sophie, we need funding to be able to function with the comments on like the colors. the next day, alexandra has a couple of very high profile visitors, arriving for the voice at the streets end of year celebration.

the grand duke and his wife. c the head of state face to face with people who are unemployed, living in poverty and with addiction. for alexandra, it's the most important and symbolic moment of the year. 400 people in need have gathered here more than any previous year. d d and other volunteers are on hand to serve the food and drinks for the sick. i will not be since he cannot be passed. so then i'm for me personally, we don't pay these people enough attention. you will not and don't talk about them enough. yeah. for sure, we have a lot of volunteers, but there aren't enough people. we need to do more more.

the grand duke of the takes a seat at the 1st table right across from janik the he's eager to tell the monarch about things from his perspective. property prices used to be lower and now they just keep on going up. yes, i suppose the housing market is a huge problem. y'all's the end of the corners get more than lux inverters. i don't think that's right. and i told them that i also said, i hope things change here is obviously just because it can go on like this people, the unit is angry or at immigrants, then the government even though it's the government that hasn't done anything about the whitening gulf between the rich and the poor the minister of

social security is also one of the guests. what does she have to say about the housing shortage? it's economic on the board, the law of supply and demand, the amount it doesn't always work out on its own. so you need initiatives to regulate the market, so they have, they've been successful. not yet. alexandra says that imposing a ban on bagging is finding the poor instead of fighting poverty. here in the wealthiest country in europe, the police said guns to the almost the guns, but of course, luxembourg can't eliminate poverty around the world. i know that but i'm not a politician. besides, i try to help people who are in a bad place and yeah, and if we look some burgers aren't able to help people who are suffering then which country can kind of
