[000:00:00;00] the, i mean, everyone is chasing the same jury and everyone is doing the same thing, having to get a job, making it rich majors. good savvy money. that, that, that, that, that, that who's the most popular person in the world, no body the world doing the same damn thing. it's like watching the high school all over again

. i believe in creating awareness about homeless. because if we don't pay attention to it, it's going to overwhelm the population. and when that happens, where's the money going to come from? seriously, we're, it, we're, we're ready is what? 70000000000 or something like that. missing in money. are democracies falling apart and we're worried about the small things and what you should be worried about, the bigger problems that are right in front of our faces. instead of turning a blind item, the log file somewhere around 80000 people that are an house. here's the problem that being a house may come in different forms because there are some people that aren't even here, cars or some people that are pretty much going from one living room to another, living room, wherever they people are allowed. you know, friends,

we allow them to come in and, and have a roof over their heads on a temporary basis. but then you also have people that live on the streets, shearing. los angeles, right now there's, there's a, as we speak, we have a homeless own being done right now. the accounting hominy on house before leaving on the streets. so we don't have the exact numbers yet, but it's going to be high. the numbers have increased from last year, even though that more is being done. or at least that's what being told. to the point that the numbers shifts last year alone. the amount of of homeless rose by 12 percent in california, right, is the rent is to get the rent is damn, the rent is too damn high the, the,

the the, the rent, the, the. 8 so we turned in over a $115000.00 signatures to get it initiative on the ballot to expand rent controlled that to be on the california ballot in november of 2024. and the apartment association is trying to is opposing this and trying to stop a and trying to stop us. we also delivered over 732000 signatures to the governor of california, governor newsome asking him not to oppose this measure. how are they trying to stop you? so what they're the, what the california apartment association is doing is they're trying to put in initiative. i'm with the alley, which basically says that a top kept on the same to not put their own initiative on the ballot to expand rent

controls or anything around housing. so they're hurting tenants. and also the judge has clinic in 45 different countries across the world. and they're trying to strip a, just as a non profit, simply because they don't want rent control the . my name is gina. i am a small mom, landlord and i was a bit of an issue when they're calling landlords of lead. you don't here are side of the story. i had a very little mind. i have a mortgage homeowners insurance and they wouldn't be and, and i couldn't even barely waste what last 4 years. i couldn't raise it $5.00, but yet i had taxes to pay. i had insurance to pay, i had maintenance to keep up. and i had to pay them. wow. wow, sense of dollars to move out? it's not there. where is our side of the protection?

should be mad at the government and to the government to pay their rent. why should i have to take care of? somebody take care of health care complaint at the grocery store complained that your medicine is, why is it just the landlord by me landlord. so i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know, a couple units. they're worried as well because with a high risk go up with corporate driving the the rates up 6 are to keep up with it . so it's affecting them as well. but the fact of the matter is that the ones that are controlling and pushing pull the high range are the corporate land. unfortunately, the fix, the small businesses, the affect, the small landlords. so we're here to let them know that, you know, if we bring rank control to california, it's

a positive thing moving forward because they're going be able to not being terminated by corporate landlords that want to take their properties as well. the housing rates are gonna keep going up, like if you go to a gas station and buy budweiser and the price goes up a dollar every day is because, like somebody steals too much budweiser from that store. you know, that's just the way that it goes. you know, and originally they've raised the price up of things and places where it goes missing all the time to cover it. that's probably why the rent is getting so high because half the people who live there never pay the rent. somehow. somehow i feel like criminals run the city. i really do. my name's walking by the golf. i'm 51 years old. i'll be 52 in april and been homeless off and on. since 2006. and where do you live?

right here in this truck. so why is it so weight? oh, well, there really isn't a way to get to on top of things when the economy just deteriorating is it is there's not a way for the way just to catch up to what the prices are for for rent a person is trying to get to it maybe you have a studio apartment here in this area is going to be at least $1500.00 a month. and even with some help 1st for move in. and it's, it's a little bit, uh, it's a little, there's a little bit more to it than just, uh, you know, making a decision. uh, because the economy is it fits in the gates a lot of people's efforts. the mean. yeah. don't get me wrong. i don't look like i'm alone. and i got it, you know, tell them one jacket on through the disease like a 180. 0 much

a year my just on doesn't look like i need to be honest. honestly. know what? so living out this month or subtract them. uh yeah, no matter if your worker of 40 r o job hourly job, you know me. if i have to know anybody out there and get all of these histories that down to where i've been out here in california and hollywood for probably about 10 years, about 10 years, and i have yet to get in. and i've been on the list to get housing for like 3 years . i've got a crew, i've got a criminal background. and then i've got a very expensive criminal background look at 19000 years. i'm over at the new. i'm not trying to. i mean, nice for there's not i can't get any decent things. uh tell them that there's trying to get, i'm trying to get funded. get a job with metro. right. and i was doing the investment or thing that they got going around. i can't get my foot in the door for this shit, the same life is premier girl. we don't,

we don't hear from you. truly. now, do you want to remind me of my being on, you know, like a bigger one is that we can just make it a wireless. but he said he was at the low. you go, what do you do full leaving? oh, do. i'm going to go to school. i go to long beach city college for this study. i'm going for film and the spring writing, i'm trying to get a degree in the screen writing and uh the one to develop my own uh, my own screen place for production. i have good work. i went and award for my spring play in 22 for one screenplay that i wrote in 2021 from penn america. and i'm trying to do something with the skills and talents that i have for spring writing.

thank you. the hi, my name is mailed to the correct number, co founder and executive director of the shower of hole. and like the name says, we provide mobile show us to people who are experiencing homeless the same in los angeles. and what we do is we take these mobile shortlist, they can see over here the various different locations. we have approximately 50 sites in los angeles. we pocket in locations where it's close default, so i experiencing homeless us. and we offer just them shot was even for what the city like los angeles, that's very little public infrastructure. when it comes for you to use a public chavo, let alone a bad throw. so fall on a full, so sleep on our streets. it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which coffee shop will let them just let use the bathroom. but when it comes to showers, a lot of i guess, if it wasn't for us only have access to shot was maybe once a month for

a lot of folks. it's going into a bathroom at a place like a coffee shop and taking a buzz back out of a sink. so that's why it's so critical and, and that's so much be man for our services. the to, oh, that's good. there's always going to get 100 a 100 down. they have fox, our 2nd. yeah. yeah. it's always going to get a hot challenge homeless that my god to apply for a shower to you? yes, i did the shower the differences, economic differences between groups, race groups, particular are huge and he starts on the very beginning, their lack of uh, being able to have a good education. let's talk about, let's say, for example, put in security is, is lack of access to healthy, put lack of access to flu. and

a lot of our communities of color don't have access to healthy food. they just don't. so you see those disparities right there that any quality whereas you go to well do, neighborhood, or neighborhoods of, of, of white folks. you'll see that they are, they have better jobs, better paying their more resources. so yes, a racism, a place, a very important part on the economic status, whether you're going to end up homeless on the street or not. this is known as the mcarthur park union district of los angeles, this one, the most underserved communities in los angeles. atlanta immigrants are here. most of them don't speak english. we have here and you can see a lot of seniors and we have people that struggle to put, put in the table and people have very little resources. most of them actually one for, for several blocks here to, to come to the band 3. and

a lot of them are very fragile, they elderly. so this is a 9 o'clock we, well we have done is we set up an appointment system so people can actually sign up and, and have an appointment. instead of them being in line for hours. what was happening is that before prior to we having an appointment system, people used to be here at 12 midnight. i literally spend the night here waiting for us to open. so we decided to do an appointment system. today we're going to be providing groceries for $400.00 people. these are fresh vegetables, they would pick yesterday. so you're not gonna make buying any any fresh or uh, products on here. and they do serve as the people who serve it and. and i'd say we're very excited about being able to, to serve the community. what we do here is we set it up like farmers, market styles. so people are able to come here and actually pick what they like to, to take instead of us giving you a bag of food the most likely you're not going to like we allowed them to make

several choices here and take food that they love to cook the, the,

[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the homeless, his home is the rear. i have an 8. the problem is only about $0.50 a month, right. what am enjoy old a? 6262. you've been homeless for a while. continue for many years, say 10 years. so i'll just do like for example, you got to pay the, hey, fish a deal,

where am i right here the only getting some really low version you the, the got continues to grow. you know, we saw back in the eighty's and ninety's the early, the early part of the century here, where we saw an attack against the middle class. there is the more middle class, either you'll have what you don't have. so to say that you're in the middle class is a fantasy because he doesn't exist. we have people coming to our food banks that have jobs, and some of them have good jobs,

but they can not make ends meet foreclosure. we're right now we'll go through it. one is the last. no. how can i do i have i just leave my hand right now. thank you. bye. no. the hey you said stuff to the home. put it on time on the 1st time this this way

to good days or a bad day tomorrow. right. man. yeah. he yeah the you enjoy it. i want to can you hold on a 2nd the right you enjoy that. thank you so much lady. do leave here. i do. i do. this is not heroine. that's a i went to a doctor this morning. why did you come from effect? you work with interior design or the was it worth coming here?

yeah. hard and i are able to see off the flight to afford a place here. not many people can went to work to do like if you were not able to afford to coordinate with like what to do in the city and you're looking at it. yeah, i mean, possibly people could die on the beach. people get sick, they get diseases and mental illness insecurity. the numbers are staggering. we have approximately 10000000 people in california that are risk of becoming on house. and part of the reason is because the rates are just very high. people struggle to make ends meet some people working to 3 jobs and still not enough because of the cost of living also has increase. for the think $3500.00,

the one bedroom. it was way across the street apartment. yeah. they just they just bills and they just opened them up. and for one bedroom, the $13500.00. that's what we have to deal with. so the data takes everybody along here, the whole community and all the prices go up with they have people like that building these things up. but why then does it work to be, sir? if you're not able to afford the leaving the right there to this people, they can't co habits, he can't get a long so they can't. well, the next coming up relation apparently can live with 10 people into an apartment in california. and people have to live with a lot of people. so there's a lot of problems familiar,

sexual assault on the finger problems. so they said it said he stays the same day, but we showed him physical evidence of him doing that. i even have a text message from me and my roommate talking, speaking about how he threatened her life. i gave patch the text messages. i gave her. why do you to text messages? you 100? are you just the michelle? so you're thinking about this is the right thing. one of the houses were there for people die room, so nearby. jack is the same way. we met them there. they're still there, but it up was the boss last week um um and gave kelly. i think her name the day or the give her um what is that the, the not, not in regards to be fine if we i want to see this about time after 46 people that already know they learned on yeah. yeah. i

know, i really don't know and, and then people go up missing and they don't even try to sit in see nothing about it. you remember the model one with the rabbit? she had went missing and they was like, oh, she had went to the hospital or went to jail as you folks come back and nobody knew where she was in need of them line they found her. did they send me too far from the shelter? so how you didn't, they don't care about all where about nothing. all the program and programs, all sorts of less is little bit like service today and that way. so let's say do 1520 percent of what your income is that by your rent up in the 30 a month. you can use that as soon as i add on time, i'm so tired of move out most people in my apartment and do

a medicine crap. and then more and more people become seamless though, they see none of the co bags. and then they'll, by dividing, doesn't making better as the governor. so the level to lower the rent. we know that the numbers are high and there's a lot of money that comes, a lot of money is blown away. i'm very reason we see very little come either with that, you know, so this been a lot of money. you mean government government? yes. there's been a lot of money and the labor very little rent has just really taken off on the restrictions on how to rent have changed. they want you to have a deposit of, you know, same, we sometimes want you put 3 months down or prove you can pay 3 months when you,

you know, these, these are things that a lot of people wouldn't qualify for with good jobs. so they've made it so hard that a person with a pretty well paying job, creating, cutting right here. and there was a time, i mean, it was a while ago, 253 years ago. you could be a starving artist here and, and have a pretty fun life. it wasn't. maybe you wouldn't have a big savings account, but you would have a safe place to live. you would have food, you would have a car for now. people are choosing and we're talking about people is 40 hour week jobs, are choosing to buy groceries or pay their rents. and we're talking single people. i can't imagine having a family what that would entail. so it wasn't always this unapproachable to live here was actually quite the opposite for a long time. the

hey guys, come to hollywood, get some of the money. this is 50 k and 1000000. looks like like, guys. 1000000 right near the zillow baby. tell me you're looking for low read our movies because people come out here for the dream says their dream. i would say i am rich for me i'm. i'm, i'm on my way to be rich next year. i'm a buy a $1000000.00 house to me. and i'm working on manifest man, i met of as a limit of as of right now, already body for me. i'll look at it. i visualize it. i know the address go mean. that's why i lays about, i mean, when you see that house,

as you'll see me and it is lend his house for me. welcome to welcome to holly will let them know that welcome to welcome to dreamland for james. come through the . i know, honestly it's probably hard deliver, it is hard, it's hard to drive down the street and see this. and i think people are either going to be propelled, to have empathy and do something or possibly inches shut down. its hard, hard to go in every area, every neighborhood, everywhere, and seeing and countless play not feel even just guilty. you know that you're walking into a supermarket and you can buy your food or you can do it and you can live and you have a home, you know, the,

there's no kindness in any city or state in regards even in places that we deem liberal. you know, california is not very liberal about this. now they're not as compassionate as people think about the sub to the subject. looks good to go. now i look good. thank you sir, but you, people are always people good or for in the room. right. the all depends on the day so i can fit in going to bed in kenner. that's why the to 10 areas in center were through

so there is different factors that may affect our seniors. and most important is, is that the safety nets that existed, they being taken away. so he's very difficult. i know people that have retire with the kind of retirement checks that they're getting cannot keep up with a cause of rent. so now they living in their carts after working all their lights and, and yes, there are certain programs available that was subsidized for some of the housing. but not everybody gets it. this is why people i sold these harden and they have no faith in their government because the government has stopped working for the people . the amount of people that are more discussed with politicians and politics and

political parties has grown in huge numbers. people just don't trust what they say . they say a lot, but the labor very little or nothing. the as western leaders recklessly talk of escalating the conflict in ukraine. european voters has said the exact opposite message pro war and meets are clearly out of step with voters. and they've been punished for

the the, the the headlines on off the international as russian a defense systems shoot down ukrainian drones. but the try to a type 3 regions overnight t as incursion. vantage of the quote, a region is facing with more than $5000.00 of his troops killed in act. while india is probably in his or travel the key, evan hopes of finding a road map to peace. washington's on happy with a multi lateral approach. and advise is mr. moody to pick a side. we welcome foot. by being helpful, we mean it's gone through the conversations with the grades and it's got to start from an understanding of where presidents awards is on. so i think images from
