3:45 pm

3:47 pm
so this is on the breakfast rescue mission where the largest free service provider of meals in philadelphia where the only free service provider breakfast in the entire city. with their four hundred meals a day no matter what always. that includes breakfast lunch and dinner.
3:48 pm
and also we serve about one hundred eighty all every single night we just need a place to sleep. every single bed in this room that currently has a pillow on it is actually a physical person who has reserved this bed tonight so as you can see we really are almost completely full. sunday breakfast rescue mission is one hundred thirty nine years old so there were actually quite a few homeless individuals in philadelphia at the time it was even way before the great depression yet there was a very large homeless epidemic in philadelphia. we
3:49 pm
don't perceive any government funding so that means that we're completely independent of the strings that would come along with accepting any money from the government. we do this because we don't necessarily want the strings but also if there is a giant budget cuts that like there were a few years ago we actually don't get affected because we have our entire revenue stream from individuals who are donating us money instead of. through something that is so easily attained changeable like. policy. so in the past few years in america we've had quite a difficult time with passing our budget that means that we've actually had a few weeks where our government shuts down because we just can't get it
3:50 pm
passed. that does become quite a problem for people who are relying on that money. i'm. not.
3:51 pm
going to feel. that it is wise. to them until we go home because that really hasn't happened. yet. company city or twenty billion dollars surplus for affordable housing has a couple of. only three guys to build as one would sell.
3:52 pm
the you know i live over st joe obviously we'll have more street. you know all of the drama all so much so decisions would step forward into many government officials for entities it's very much in the right course to give people wall street because at some point you have to help people help themselves. a lot of it is just the unfortunate fact that most people in philadelphia are only about two paychecks away from homelessness so that means you don't have a job for four weeks and then all of a sudden you're going to be homeless because you are literally living from paycheck to paycheck you need that next job in order to continue paying rent and if you don't pay rent then you will be evicted.
3:53 pm
from my perspective i really believe that the route to homelessness in philadelphia is the fact that. there is a very high population below the poverty line. a lot of people if you lose two paychecks and that's not going to be a big deal but in philadelphia that is an extremely big deal for about forty percent of the population. anyone can become homeless a lot of people become homeless because of some sort of catastrophic event in their life maybe the medical bill was just too high or a fire in their house maybe a divorce or something like that could could potentially cause homelessness.
