so it's a. temporary solution and like the first stone foundation if you will to helping people who are homeless. according to elvis these cheap and portable tiny homes meant to be on the streets of l.a. . but right now they're not moving anywhere because city already banned them so used to belong to somebody. being used you know now they've been sitting here for the better part of a year collecting dust. and people are you know struggling and suffering. so yeah it's really sad i mean it's you know this is human life here. los angeles authorities have accused his tiny himes of threatening public safety but elvis has seen the tiny house movement going viral online with support coming from right

across the world so with the help of internet crowd funding he's going rogue once completed they all have a new carbon pad. alarms on the windows i put the vents these holes in the top you know it's really hot summer here so that way the heat will rise and go out in the city of angels elvis isn't considered one by the powers that be. but to the homeless he's one of the few struggling to get them off the streets i don't quit and i don't give up and i definitely don't bow down to bullies people need shelter now if i have to build a tiny house for every last person. five hundred years old then that's what i'm going to do. elvis is building his next house for a woman who brave a. few people that. ravens living under the

top pole and next to a freeway. it's on hygiene and fire from safe. the situation much worse than when elvis last saw. even his check of this rare yeoman service. to see. ravens being on and off the streets most of her life was over one area yeah sure after fleeing a violent home when she was just thirteen years old. she once had a time but since the city forced most of the street she's been out here so you do not. tired after getting that house that happened pretty well you know a pretty good life right at the time when it took you know what it would be. like

dream to. do it. elvis is worried by the state of this communal camp and he leaves to buy raven a tent until he can build her a new tiny house so i'm going to attend our rendezvous back to you guys in a little while. alone. up about a situation. it's been a struggle. and. the city always kicks us now former state it'll stay clear of those. who want to costly move their stuff every day. ravens out here because she feels emergency shelters are overbooked. are unsafe but

city laws designed to move these camps on. and as a phone queue she receives a visit. all right. said we got to. get a move on by saturday. raven was given orders. she's running out of places to go they want everybody downtown they were already one section. it's not going to happen we're trying to get our branch out. to try to get away from downtown they want everybody downtown what six downtown skid row. the worst place in history to be home with downtown.

if you're homeless and l.a. city laws to keep streets clear give you two choices. keep moving. on the landscape grow. this is the only place that you can sit up a tent without the city forcing belief. but elvis is tiny homes aren't allowed here . skid row is. unlike anything else in the united states. i call it the worst manmade disaster in the us hi. how are you. doing ok. andy fails runs a big emergency shelter in the middle of skid row which would like to be seen the numbers of women seeking help in a trip in just a year but you may get deborah nice to meet you unless you get pretty eyes.

and he's on crutches because last year he lost a leg to the flesh eating bacteria that exists here still every day he's out inviting new arrivals to his shelter because he knows just how bad it gets more than two thousand people on the streets forty nine square blocks of skid row it's the worst that we've ever seen are just a good idea you really need to look down that street there's not one open spot or cement sidewalk. or i'll be a half a mile down that way. elvis is tiny houses designed as an option to avoid sleeping on skid row. because he is the increasing numbers of women and children a sleeping alongside drugs crime and the mentally ill. and police are the only source of protection cites a pretty constant yes day and night. the

maintaining order here can be struck running with. commanders running with handcuffs leave as fast. as spend one night every once in a while and streets and i can't sleep because it's so dangerous and you just stay alert rats are running around running over people running in their trance and often people get beaten or assaulted or raped and that in effect can damage your health pretty quickly. so i'm all for tiny houses but there has to be restroom facilities and shower facilities because otherwise we're putting in people in treacherous living conditions just as if they're in their community tent. this is why andy's shelter

keeps an open door policy but he's struggling to keep up with demand. to see right here right across the city shelters are full up many have to turn people away the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter there are not enough beds forty seven thousand people experiencing almost this and there are about twelve thousand shelter beds or transitional housing beds even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in there's no place to go. with limited access to emergency shelters and low cost housing life on the streets in l.a. is an endless game of cat and mouse. because the city is charged with keeping the streets clean morning everybody this department of sanitation crew is about to move through the homeless encampments of skid row. watch out

watch out for hazardous materials watch out for human waste. industrial operations like this happen daily across los angeles to keep the streets clear the homeless to be constantly on the move. we are here every day in skid row every street is clean once every two weeks so this cycle. we're doing. is essential to the city's. the city's growth and also the city's image this team will put more than five tons in the cabbage truck today anything they deem to be unsanitary. most of it will be rubbish but some of it will be people's tents and the few positions. that.

i'll say this if you don't this. guy you're in a way. that says he gives advance notice of the clean up but not everyone gets the message today there are so many lucky ones now the. lady you're asking to. they like it because repeating i mean if you want to person living on the street you want to live more if we sidewalk or decide to devalue a loss leader. but the city's focus on keeping the streets clean means further instability when you're living on them. it's also one of the main reasons elvis is tiny houses a band playing to hampering operations like this. you know waits with the suburban down on the street. so we can. if you're good side it's not

a safe conditions to live it so we basically the city has been a determination those should not be on the city's streets. selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that will. produce offspring of tell you that because of the public by file for the most important day. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with all will want.

here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us is it just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of love jack tonight president of the world bank though hate. seriously send us an e-mail. later today right. they made a mistake to the phrase. basically to. find out that getting you belong. to. their property just destroyed it.

i ask you if. i knows it. take you into a step. you know. tasted it killed me the rules you had to be tempe to wave in the driveway. you didn't have to be down sixty nine. and this is rainy. and seventy two hours to move my stove. christine is new to the streets priced out of the winter she's desperately trying to get back . she says many thanks. but the authorities just take an entire week's worth. the recycling does. i didn't. like it to be. three. the city's clean up

means that christine will be out here even longer. before i did before was madder. than take into it to. know is they. don't do well. for many homeless people in l.a. a lack of affordable housing makes it almost impossible to get off the streets. liston three percent of the city's rental market is fake and. we walk around most of the night and then christine shows me something breaking.

this is the famous blue house. test of the house that i called my home. now the memories you in. so that was home this is home for me. this home is four walls that. f.l.t. cheering. that i have that again. which is the god's timing that my. then she says in mind. this is my back. don't be a stranger ok. well this is tiny homes could help people like christine until they get back on its feet

back in compton the pressure is on for him to finish ravens tiny house. but he still needs to locate a place we can put it some way the city clean up one easily find these are just two of over eight thousand lots of the city controls. but. often stuff more love is not allowed. and while searching he gets a call from raven with an unexpected update. you are right left and your turn around. yeah i'm pregnant. it's more that i'm pregnant hard i'm a grandmother and i've always felt way over time and i have my life together elvis is already worried about reagan but he must to some enthusiasm i will listen i got

to run right now but i'll call you back later that's that's great news we have to celebrate. and i want to. i want to jump for joy and like cry of this and on like. this is how quickly a change in circumstance can see your life go from bad to worse when you're on the street. with the stakes raised for a tiny house i want to see how raven's coping with the news of her pregnancy. despite getting orders to move she's still here. same campsite. you know want to know.

they're. a little concerned guarding the conditions. living at this time i got a lot of business to take care of. don't know if i'm having the time to go. that's what makes me. like. like getting off the streets. but getting off the streets is difficult for raven. we talk more and she reveals the devastating level of violence she fled as a kid. on the streets. i was listed as a juvenile runaway hours nine years. my dad. my dad been in prison or life. mom was. side was pregnant with me.

put in a murder. life. basically i had no choice but to grow up before we were time. ravens had to learn to be tough . but she's right on the pitch. like more and more americans take here. she strips deep in the cycle of long term homelessness. with no immediate way of getting out. when your life is the size of a teen can be a powerful tool. it's almost delivery day. and with the news that raven's pregnant elvis is a special finishing touch to her tiny house. like a movie with. her feel better and you know help her feel like she's got

a look at. elvis knows how important little details like this can be he's watched too many people lose hope on the streets. houses away from people three people have died mainly due to being stuck out in. not having anywhere to go so. it's criminal. picture of smoke in the doorway of her her tiny house one of the people who died was his close friend smokey who received the very first tiny house new year's morning they found her dead in somebody else's tent not even her own because the city took that too. so. it's pretty simple without shelter people die. so. it's been a few months but she was a good person and she was my friend. inside

city hall the pressure is on to create more housing. the city has approved a multi-billion dollar strategy to help the homeless but it will take ten years to build hundred thousand new units which is. officials refuse to embrace elvis is tiny for me a tiny house on a. parking space is not a solution. we're doing that this service to those individuals who stayed in these tiny homes without the output infrastructure in place the city council. posed tiny houses in his district because of concerns from angry residents. someone wanted turning the site otherwise it'll be a free for all it'll be sex drugs and rock'n'roll and i think they would absolutely

you have to have some rules and price. see. if they are here why put these guys out that will this and the city is clear intense yet again this time even in christine's camp right now that load opened up there was a pristine show. that's considered a bulky items so it's going in the dumpster. almost in christine's belongings taken by the department of sanitation residents not around so only christine is here to see it they say you know you're welcome i mean to hit rock bottom he didn't run fight every year. money. you can spend half of that and get these people a place to go but instead they're treated.

with ravens camp demolished most of her positions gone and with a baby on the way elvis must deliver her tiny house before nightfall. i finally found a suitable location for ravens' tiny house in a quiet area mostly industrial. affect anybody. elvis and raven hope this part of downtown l.a. away from skid row will be safe from the authorities. with already he's must continue to keep l.a. streets clean days finally. for the tiny house to live very feeling very good by very. good drop out it's going through a lot of hardship. so this tiny house it's

a brick house. after the week that she's had and everything she's gone through on top of the in fragments it's more important now that she gets the house because i don't think she can go much longer with not getting any rest. if you really feel if . i do. think. i think. i'm going to think that. most things i do in life are out of principle. i was taught that when somebody falls down you pick them back up. that's what we should do in life. to remember that you know you got things. you called me and said. you know people sit on the back porch. look at the stars. looking up at

a tarp you know you have to see it sit not look at the tar but look at the stars it's got a magic. so finally raven gets her own private space. and hopefully the first time in over a year a good night's sleep and you think it's going to last. that was said to say with us forever i wish it could last forever. was put in god's hands. oh.

i'm now in gears here you know until you go into there's also the you know mr wilson is still. telling the other things are true they didn't intend to do that and then. you have. your fourth year or your view of it just to believe all this blows the glad i wish i'd got burnt on the number that the u.s. in the u.k. caught on to the. galaxy or through it or got up out of the wind and this as you know i kind of called the state happy impulse. not to but there's still room for me in the movies. in the future.

you become worth playing. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but new forced signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people of so you self that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam all polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the berm pits would really literally send

a v.a. broke and they don't want to pay it so the way to the decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. call for help and get the middle finger to move used to model is. delayed and i hope you don't. need to know more in the long. run though what are. your total. or not he did not win our our. oh you are to go to. d.c. to move for your. way are in north dakota way are in a standing rock reservation just about

a hundred yards from here and we are experiencing full fronts. and loaded the impact of. the standing rock phenomenon. hard selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings pins to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle of. the new socks for the tell you that what we gossip in public but most importantly. off the bat doesn't tell you on the cool enough to buy their product. we. want. still exist. rico's treated as one. hundred forty three cool. little can i knew

a lot of. the island is controlled by the us government and some puerto ricans crave independence. either. still many do wish to join the us hundreds more leave every day. with the country at a crossroads anger on the island is on the rise. see

. headlining this saturday morning the landmark nuclear deal with iran is a risk of unraveling president trump leaders by getting tough for him to run clearly it's breaching the spirit of the agreement. this is a dangerous signal president of the united states has many posts not this one coming up two more children have been reunited with their relatives in an campaign ongoing to help orphans in iraq have been left by their parents believed to be brought to the country when the parents. but there's now an argument over how they should be treated. or some foremost these are children are not responsible for the actions of many fathers.
