some certainly not so it. can be no surprise was it be how did it all multiple injuries among can connect to so for them to keep sophie whole the look of the show's real humors on the phone to call home if you can book a pupil from the c.d.c. say yes but in the book and more awesome what mum. hanumant of nothing left off allowed me to see you something that was. on long enough something outside of. us and then to hospitals look ma. what i can and maybe maybe maybe for the.

name is i was summers and i built tiny houses for the homeless. the city is back and they are here why do these guys down for me a tiny house is not a solution it will be a free for all. these nice safe conditions to live. susumu discipline and rent the city of los angeles. always get nervous. nobody should be homeless anywhere but especially in one of the richest countries in the world.

i build everything was true because i make a lot of mistakes. and it's easy to back out your mistakes in compton south central l.a. a pint sized idea. in a battle with city off already. when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle. the mayor of los angeles has declared the city is in the midst of a homelessness crisis. is trying to solve it one tiny house at a time the tiny house idea is very simple it's shelter. food water and shelter are not optional they're required for human survival so it's a. temporary solution and like the first stone a foundation if you will to helping people who are homeless. according to 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 authorities banned them so they used to belong to somebody yeah yeah. and now they're being used no 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 you know. los angeles authorities have accused his tiny himes of threatening public safety but has seen the tiny house movement go viral online with support coming from right across the world so with the help of internet crowdfunding 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 all rise and go out in the

city of angels elvis isn't considered 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 until i'm five hundred years old then that's what i'm going to do. well this is building this next house for a woman who brave. people that live. ravens living under the top next to a freeway. and from safe. the situation much worse than when. this is already

on a service. raven's been on and off the streets most of your life. yeah sure after fleeing violent home when she was just thirteen. she once had a time since the city of st she's been out here so you do not. tired after getting. a pretty good life. but it would. seem. elvis is worried by the state of this communal camp and he. to buy raven a tent until he can build her a new tiny house so we're going to have a tent and our rendezvous back to you guys in a little while. alone

. opens up about his situation. it's been a struggle. and. the city always kicks us out from the state it'll stay clean those. who want to costly move their stuff every day. ravens out here because she feels emergency shelters are overbooked or unsafe but city law was designed to move these camps on. and as a phone queue she receives a visit. all right. ali said we got to. get him about this by saturday.

elvis is. brave and he's given orders. she's running out of places to go they want everybody downtown the way but one section. it's not going to happen we're trying to get or branch out. to try to get away from downtown they want everybody downtown but six downtown skid row. the worst place in history to be homeless downtown. if you're homeless in l.a. city lewis to keep streets clear give you two choices. keep moving. on the months 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

. skin roy is. unlike anything else in the united states. i call it the worst manmade disaster in the us. are you. doing ok. and he fails runs a big the mergence the shelter in the middle of skid row which i'd like to he's seen the numbers of women seeking help in a truck in just a year what you mean can't daedra place to meet you unless you got 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. just a good idea you really need to look down that street there's not one open spot or summat sidewalk. for 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 starts a pretty constant ending yes day and night. for maintaining order here can be struck running with. a man running with us who is fast. 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 people in treacherous living conditions just as if they're living in a tent. and this is why and the shelter keeps an open door policy but he's struggling to keep up with demand i can see right here right across the city shelters a 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 liked. 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. the big effort. i think is essential is essential to the city's. city's become a growth and also the city's image this team will put more than five tons in the gadgets 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. the city gives advance notice of the cleanup but not everyone gets the message and today are some unlucky ones out of. your ass and. they like it

because repeating i mean if you want to. live in the street you want to live if we sidewalk decide to devalue. 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 way it's the suburban town on the street. and if you're going to see conditions to live it so we basically the city has. germination. should not be on the city streets.

do colon is still exist. or rico's treated as one no economy calls and similarly trial and then only on the fourth recall as you know and i know a lot of it doesn't make. the island is controlled by the us government and some puerto ricans crave independence jello it was the almighty god you know it was. good at either way but i meant to sort of randomly go over that again again. still many do wish to join the us hundreds more leave every day. beings. with the country at a crossroads for anger of the island is on the rise. a world without borders no longer seems desirable even europe scales back its

welcoming migration policies is there a way of addressing the global migration challenge without being swept underneath. later that day right back camp. they made a mess they took the break they basically did nothing. and find out that getting you belongings can. devastate. their property destroyed it. i know that. you did. you know.

this will be the rules if you be tempted away from the driveway. you didn't as you don't seize the night. and this is rainy. and this to me too i wish to move most. christine is new to the streets priced out of the winter she's desperately trying to get back in time. she says money by collecting her psychosis. but the authorities just take an entire week's work. at the recycle bin. but didn't. like it to be able to get through. the city's cleanup means that christine will be out here even longer. for anything for was better. than take into the to.

now is a. 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 same is the house. says to the house that i called. no memories. so that was how this is home for me yeah.

i do miss home that's four walls. that's all to cheering. i have that again. i mean that mike. and he says in mind. this is meant thank you. don't be a stranger ok. this is tiny could help people like christine until they get back on their feet back in compton the pressure is on for them to finish ravens tiny house. but he still needs to locate a place we can put it some way the city won't easily find these are just over eight

thousand lots of the city controls. are off and stuff boarded up. and while searching he gets a call from raven with an unexpected update. for you all right after your son. yeah i'm pregnant. found out this morning that i'm pregnant hard on a grammar and i've always felt way over about a ton of great here 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. like i want to. i want to jump for joy and like cry it's like.

this is how quickly a change in circumstance can see your life go from bad to worse when you're on the street. but the stakes raised for her tiny house i want to see her ravens coping with the news of her pregnancy. despite getting orders to move she's still here at the same campsite. you know one of the of. her death. 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 taker that's amazing. 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 we would see. the streets. housed listed as a juvenile runaway hours nine years. my dad. my dad been in prison our life. was. so i'm afraid it would mean. putting a murder to kill me young woman lying. basically no choice but to. raven's have to learn to be tough.

but she's right on the pitch. like more and more americans take. she's trips 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. it's almost delivery day and with the news that raven's pregnant elvis is ending a special finishing touch to a tiny house. with a little something to help 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 since the city forced me to take 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 smokey sitting 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 to. so. it's pretty simple without shelter people die. 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 ten thousand new units which is well below demand. yet officials refuse to embrace elvis's tiny i'm sorry 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 city council you know 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 back they'll 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 christine's belongings are 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. fight every year. all that 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 delivery feeling very good spite. of that it's going through a lot of hardship so this tiny house it's. 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. you really feel.

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 the tar you know you have to see it sitting 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. elaine god's hands. the a bomb.

that is i would not be here that. much as a. little. tease you. suggest that you get outside of that muck on the. by then got a session on the nod that they know. by then is a shift the long. haul to an audience at a loss is going on more. certainly not so with. most of it was revealed to the multiple injuries among current america so the keeps a few. of the shows real you know mars are going to go mobile even before people so

simple so this is so you're welcome to use a book in a moral sense what my. own a bit of nothing. off allowed me. somethin that he'd walk. on long enough something not set in. the market just a little huddles look ma that's what up to now maybe i met him on the beach florida . i.
