the the. the the. we have the resources. and you know ready we will have the courage and we have the compassion and waymark. backache ran on the strength the bad affected directly to the conscience of our where are. the shame of. our.

sure. maybe. our. word was to open right now behind us is one of the city's biggest homeless camps and it stretches per blogs on this warehouse district as you can see the government figures more than a 1000000 school aged children are home less number of homeless families world and suburban u.s. has risen by 60 percent. one among us that trains are now women about 10 percent according to the v.a. but most long term housing is designed for that and that's why some volunteers are making a difference helping women veterans and their families. in the current role but you

know if you want a real hero remains to be a war fighters or any you have experienced some pretty cold nights out here but the navy used to play one of the tough talking low. almost out of reach due to the kind of locations that we find people use your resume you know this is a right what is a gold medal and. what you're about to see is turn respectable just mentally disturbed homeless man illegally camping in the hills of albuquerque new mexico will soon fall victim to police bullets i don't know you would be my honor to mourn to know almost every day that goes by in the media you hear about education. jobs and health care you never hear about affordable housing. are you doing ok medically. when i started i was actually really shocked at how the. or on the street it was like going to a 3rd world country. and this is a map that shows you the foreclosures initiated over the last 2 years every single

one as for the. 3rd what i do know is pretty well that i do know the name of the person archer hey guys she was assaulted last tuesday she may have some booze or broken ribs. it is estimated the poverty rate for kids in this country will soon hit 25 percent those children would be the largest american generation to be raised in hard times since the great depression. the 1st day. psychologically how kids is you like anyone you know you have no friends in the world people like. even though they probably don't know

you know now they may in aljunied but you yourself know it look like you don't have a friend in the world like everybody's walking bears you you know in the world we live in out of the rest of the world it's a strange feeling that it's a real eat in there and it's as though that i'll go there like people who are not a 5 as you made in leading lady try and think about when my going to them i want to sleep. and. not just before some of the families homes those with. this is my last stop here and i don't know what i would do if i don't get my papa mobile. 'd people people still in the belief that this is the. and of opportunity that you can go out and get a minimum wage job and then you get another job pays more than minimum wage and

screwed yourself up when i when i was growing up there was absolutely you know. you want to be a construction guy. took your dad's hammer. threw through your belt loop walked in the construction site and you told the foreman that you could you could swing a hammer. he looked at you do you know you didn't couldn't do it. but he gave you shot let's do it let's come on their. spot at the y.m.c.a. is pretty cool 10 bucks a night you can go get a little spot go get your room stash your stuff. get a good night's sleep good on the hall in the morning. use the shared bathroom and go off and. try to get you know at the same job and you can't do that 1st all those s.r.o. single room occupancy units they're gone if you came condos for sale they became

parking lots they y.m.c.a. got out of the business you know when i was growing up there's no such thing as homes is necessary. needs of people who had problems you know skid row and these types of things alcohol and so we didn't have a population that was so big that we coined a phrase and named it homelessness you know and now it's become ingrained in our society but we know that if we can get the attention the american people and if they can really understand. this one thing that you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing. if we can get them to understand that and we can bring the solution because everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of it is. we're not.

it's grew out of your. scope so he's going to rip syrup in downtown it's. oh. yeah we did not work at all that you've already. made a. pretty good movie. but my 6 point you could see. if you'd go along isn't something you know because you know this is you know i'm going

to. i'm not even if you believe there do you know. there's a process that you're thinking that. well ha ha ha. ha ha. ha ha ha ha ha. that's. ok. guys you know all the all morning that you have a lawful order to handle these. guys start. the trouble we're going to take this or we're going to take a political operative but it's just a little or. a lot a lot of putting all of these lloyd the ballots will be delayed admirably they're not. here we were i was wondering.

right you don't have a right to go where i want to go just. because it's not what i don't understand really is as a veteran you have more opportunities to get housing there's another point there is no that you know you don't try to come down. to down so you've been born so. just because. that's in the out of the plant i don't need to be. a lot though i don't need to be like oh. all right. i choose i have no rights is that right was not given to me by me. during you know. have everything. done right now and. you know colorado how. he won the race so how is it not. even making that

once the 1st storm that came through. i woke up under 2 or 4 inches of snow and. the economic system known as capitalism has generated more wealth than any other system in history in many ways it is defined maternity itself hundreds of millions have been lifted out of poverty however capitalism has also witnessed growing income inequality bust the appeal of socialism currently on the rise can complement more. time of the time called her asians repeat the

same mantra sustainability it's very important it's accelerating the transition to sustainable prize board sustainability spent over man at a more equitable and sustainable well. they claim that production is completely hama's. because. libby got got into congress on the markets and got it done does not the prison companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something else this must be going to mean and i mean look. this is the move i mean listen we didn't dream and i'm stunned seemed to be based on that understood look forward to going in. the 1st night i was almost. always artists carry. huge. personality.

no because. i didn't have to show up with carter he didn't kill that's right i was like oh ok. there's all kinds of scary people out here. care you know i mean there's all kinds of scary people right and i'm from the mountains i'm from up in the mountains and then i get dropped down out here is. in the middle of the book down there you got bugs. rog just. what do you do. any worse thing you can. do you. seen it watched it in 830. i was a girl stabbed. it was on the news there i was

right there i would like. you know i'd seen it nor. right next to it everything else was cut next of dead guys that would drop 10 of. those reactors right through you know. they're all gone. past when the free. my mom might well my father killed himself and i was 5 so. then my step dad it was my dad because i didn't even know my dad really was. here he was a lumberjack up there and careless of them can set a tree fall on. him cut down a tree last thing he remembered when the tree hit the ground. so you got parallel. he died i was in prison and he died.

my mom she died 6 of double pneumonia in 2005. but 2 thank you lord for be my friend says he holds near again and then love your brother . thank you for helping me. and i will get by another day i will get by another day because i will. if you had a magic wand waving giving everyone would you get. one family back. to my grandma's. or have it that. he wanted you know i just looked.

back you may be right deb. you are. preaching. i didn't mean it but. i know you're not dude i know if. you wanted to know. so i said that. magic word. and we've done has 0 and. you want to know what the right. course the addition of

this no human fus says nothing requires the affairs of a sad life is a graphic view of the human body in the psychological sense especially to people that are before deprived early will then create conditions for themselves that will keep the definition going. because the way to cope with emotion the variation for reason. might be a crown maybe to be get very hostile. or if you are stout you're going to be rejected. and that's going to reinforce your sense of being rejected in the 1st place. for you my to deal with the pain that some bear will turn to addictions and all the addictions are always about pain and my mantra is not why the addiction but why the pain and i'm sure that that's true physiology psychologically spiritually. so then people started engaging additions as a way of dealing with their pain but that edition of the 1st true that i state that

. because failure is going to be overnight it reasonably so very difficult and painful to do so but for the addict it reinforces that i'm all alone in the reader for me and which makes them further. inclined to engage in addictive behavior to suit that theme of a sex trade worker a 27 year old said to me when i asked her what heroin did for her she said the 1st and i did heroin it felt like a war so. i was just saying she experienced a sense of love and connection which is what the endorphins do in the brain. and they die and detox a few years ago 6 was something muscles tattoo scars earing everything but if i was walking towards me in an alley i'd run the other way when i asked him whether they're into for you and he said i don't tell you this doc was like when you 3 years old and you're shaving because you're sick as a kid and your mother wraps you know one blanket put you on your lap and you just don't want chicken soup that's what their own feeling. is that i would love. you

know then you ask why can't people give it up they can't give it up because the only way they found that they can have pain relief and know i have pleasure and delight and reward and a sense of connection. so homelessness in the chronically homeless may be seen as a coping mechanism. thank you sir now you say all of the charity there is day in. their military.

and surprise are not coming here we have a lot of that. the arch facility is what we call a low demand shelter they're very low demand is that we don't ask you to do anything it's just that they've been ordered to walk through the door other than their security behavior guidelines for us the definition of loaded been sheltering fluids that we're not requiring any for just a short in a program or service in order to be in the building there is not going to be a requirement for you to be sober to be in the building you can come in under the influence of drugs or alcohol we just can't have you bringing it in with you so it's an opportunity to work with our clientele on sobriety issues and we'd much rather have them inside the building and under the influence than in the safety concern on the offical.

what we've got right now is welcome to our 3rd for this is our dormitory for here at the arch we were originally. instructed on this property is a 100 bed facility they knew when they built that it was under built probably didn't know that it was in those under built as it actually is today we sleep 230 min in this facility every night versus the 100 beds that we were created with we're going to take a look at the dormitories themselves during the nicely we're going to sleep 100 minutes here there are case management clients there in a plan they're in a program they're working on some goals that they step through their program it may be in comes to build the it may be sobriety there's

a lot of different kinds of things that case management will address but over night they get to sleep in our dormitories. which are bunk bed style we have some storage and underneath each bed they love being able to store their own stuff and because they're in our shelter program in our case management program each bed is assigned overnight to a specific individual so we'll have on this floor there are 100 beds and then overnight the way we get to the 230 is we also have the mats that go down the floors and we're sleeping in places in this building that we were never really intended sleep including our lobby our 2 conference rooms as well as our dining rooms. in our overall population profile is a 35 to 45 year old caucasian male struggling with mental health drug and alcohol

addiction we see a lot of veterans in that mix too and then we've got a lot of women and children although this is i'm in the overnight shelter the demographic for homelessness across the nation is changed in austin to a different and i think that's one of the things that we as a community have got to address is. the systemic generalization. homelessness and 3 generations of people walking through our doors sometimes during the day and it's just got to something we've got to get. so prince this is a shelter provider but we're also a housing provider we recognize the necessity of shelter but we do look at shelter as a band aid to the issue of almost is really the solution for almost as house if you've got limited housing opportunities you've got limited opportunities to house the homeless so it's really been a push in our community to get more housing stock on the ground so that we can

solve homelessness and not just band-aid it was shelter. without housing report was we put it out in 2006 we formed rat. and made 2005 and immediately started. funding trends and affordable housing and both were all through the u.s.d.a. u.s. department of agriculture and urban through housing and urban development and because we wanted to look at it we know the shelter system started in the late 82 early 83 and by mid 1983 was across the country by 1987 the federal government had passed almost funding as a major program of their. what the hell happened right before that.

seemed wrong. just don't hold. me. to shape. these days because that's ok and in the game equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. use the sword in the group of fools. who are evil bird. migration and go where you just shit out. just like it was going to get it. cleared carefully walking into words all in a we no longer know what we're walking into can't see. you know what if you nice

new friend she had a look at that. very. nice lady this nervously. propulsive all sensible so. we go to work so you straight home. # 'd
