you know if there's one homeless person in the country it's a bit of a huge issue in the have a civil society a rich society in which people have to sleep on the street earlier big i mean that's just you know.

government is not the solution to our problem government is the. first priority presuppose there will be. one of the points that we really felt was important to get across when you're talking about cause and effect as priorities if nobody's making money on it i not a commodity then it has no value and it shouldn't it isn't

a priority of the federal government so housing that was just from people that was not a commodity that was just a living up to the responsibilities of the federal government to people have a clean safe in place to live that's not important anymore that's not. george herbert walker bush william jefferson clinton who saw all over the water bush. who said obama do solemnly swear i told john truong do you solemnly swear. the word of the general wages of living standards of working. or declined since the late seventy's. the numbers of people who grow because of the growth of the population the supply. to the to nearly. it's

a mix up so somebody is going to get squeezed out and some of the most people the momentum people over the country have been squeezed out of the bottle. so now there's a new public housing so the shelter system is like a public housing so because housing is not treated as even the writer of the title meant which it should be the country is full of uses. and order for us to get. and be right back to society as incompetent as you tried it with this issue it's gone on far too long. it's

a fundamental right like having food and fish. i think anybody care to. take a look at the universal declaration of human rights. as the peoples of the united nations have in the charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights in the dignity and worth of the human person and in equal rights. education it is time to any. one of my kind of me and it's one. it's considered. just general right actually the u.s. doesn't accept. universal declaration of its own 6 poses

most. of that there are 3 parts of this civic and political right. sort of social and economic. and there's cultural. and they're all are. doesn't just dismisses the cultural community. rejects you know. politicians have concluded that there is no answer because the answer requires resources i don't believe that's true i think that housing is the answer homelessness that you have to have supportive housing yet we're not willing to prioritize that as cited in the crazy thing is that we're paying for it anyway we jail a homeless person is san francisco a cost $140.00 a night and that's about what it costs and some. fairly nice hotels outside of the city yet we insist on believing that criminalization of

almost this is the answer that if we push people who are being homeless and being mentally ill that they're going to cure themselves and be off the streets when in fact it just becomes a cycle. tearing their hair it. seems. like. i have right. away. is the best. you can give me. a shilling. i have a place to stay stay with me there were great. the cell phone or on the strip.

years ago got us to ensure most of the world here makes it home. as well. as if you know. you can go to the city or county and get a map. shows all of us all over the you know county. and there's over 400 miles and log along they go all the way down to the freeway and they sit there ideas that are feeling goes away tropicana somewhere where they can wow. you know this is this is someone who. is very warm very rude you are sure you know the music you see the known this was you are sure. i don't think. i'm tunnels in las

vegas ears. should. say. my name is guy and we ran. around 10 years ago and strays and she was in the same situation and she didn't know what to do about them. i disaster see what. i say when's the best place. to stay in hotels and dining and eating and he left me to me go across the street to get some meat and we came back he was gone so i was straining he was bought by cosmo. just behind the scene you can read. now as take years ago. you know i haven't drank in over 30 years. that we've had our moments we've had you know.

i make for 6 to 7 mr security and. just not enough to say. we do better in the summertime as a guest you. get to all. the good side. everything a really good. lingo the charged up dollars. they fly aside just a few dollars and. they gives me you know. he had all of us just a girl. she had a big girl. this is. a rest. and i say knowing. that this is not nice really is. you know

a lot of people are one or the oreo. as. to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy you confront ation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy would be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. israel media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safer.

isolation in the community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere. direct. what is true watch is framed. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us on the death. or a major in the shallowness of. your sudden somebody. let me see yes. i was on the floor some things in my bathroom you know crying praying.

there's time for western thought words i was having children fever i didn't have any sense of taste or smell from the most you can look to the world would you. recently she was understood or just used to. comment on the grounds of comfort and certain. i have to. push myself how close it is for me in the face i'm going to. go.

you know i find myself today i know i don't look at but i found myself in a home state and you know mom homelessness is not just a building i'm homeless within my body because i don't know am i making the right choices that i don't like i don't know it's always that amazes us asking us and makes what i need to be still and be alright with a claim on the safe side i know i'm not out there doing things it's going to cost me my home that i'm this man you know and i don't understand or calling you one of john and my axe murderer or whatever. i want to have a chance. to when i 1st got out i was actually attacked by a guy from behind and then he hit me in the face and gnashing choked me around my neck or survivorman. there they were in december 13th i was hit in the head with

a rock for me high they actually caught that guy couple what is later to a week i actually in the phone into a seizure due to that and my family was going to his spot was a little bit come back and check on me because i was laying out here by the arch. it's known as a body of knowledge in the year and it's it's more dangerous for women the world is more dangerous for women in that they didn't have the get to last in their in their . overall campus. armistice i mean everybody's heart breaks for their children 1st of all and rightly so then there is the veteran then there is the mentally ill by the way there is a specific population called women that are having very specific needs that are we going to listen to enough so you know we made it

a priority and by that we pushed through in it any beds available to them or to listen to a year ago there were hardly any beds available for them and it's an unsafe for a place for women to be we don't we tell all our daughters to not walk in the street a lot at night in a dark neighborhood that's the sort of imagine that you have nowhere to go. or know what i had when something. or were. were. in the us is being told in a clumsy good way to figure out which song to beat your on is with your company planes on h.b.o. to. me shit like bush workers calling for a much higher minimum wage workers at mcdonald's wendy's domino's pizza and more

will want not the job getting. it would look at the federal 'd minimum wage as one created $938.00 under the fair labor standards act ok which was in response to a 1000000 people wandering our nation looking for jobs it was the same and after the depression congress got together and started to say well we should set a standard that ensures that if somebody puts in their 40 hours in a week they can afford the basics so. it makes sense and makes sense to me it makes sense to you so we take that in a brace that good the problem is they never index it anything so they just keep picking this number out of the year and those halves of congress fight over debate over it and go do that and that and it and it back and forth and so. you know maybe get raised a dollar maybe it's $0.75 or whatever so we sort of started this problem backwards

you know we now have $3500000.00 people experiencing homelessness in this nation and what we could tell that house the homeless. there's tremendous efforts to try and deal with the fallout you know. some more successful than others some different approaches like housing 1st get off the streets and then start dealing with them you know just one. believes and that's an organization says 1989 so you know that's approach we are. and i used to look at this population as. who they are the breakdown the veterans. recently released people out of the penal system single women single women with children substance abusers alcoholics. really really all the different factions but now we stood back and looked at the folly of that approach and realize that in order to

really deal with it in this society which is couples we view them as. this whole this group falls 'd into 22 factions those who can work and those who can't work so we walk away with this way 77 dollars in the quarter and 'd but i i live in america and anybody who's lived in america has traveled anybody who's traveled is travel to some place which is more expensive than where they came from and they travel someplace with less expense right now the government uses the concept of one size fits all. so they keep doing it's like 70 court for everybody so whether you live in washington d.c. with a harley engine texas they're going to set it at 7 decor right now there's talk of raising it to 10 dollars an hour well the day that adds pass to $10.00 an hour that's the president's promoting for. some time to get one minimum wage

homeless worker off the streets of washington d.c. at the same time that $10.00 an hour wage is going to hurt small business and will america and make no mistake most of america is ruled they're trying to push a round. peg into a square hole and they've been doing it over and over again and what happens is it's a very soft mork approach to our nation is made of a 1000. because it's so nice you know we devised. a single national formula based on existing government guidelines.

ok thank you very are that. the logo. t.v. you can hear people talk and. that was how you. oh you learned do you. think let me ringback see do you can help me with their. reading really you have to. learn

a little more. here. we. are more. so here their own home we have a family show for women shelter in them and shelter so one of the big fears that our families have when they come down from the shelter is that all of us are. child and family services is going to be involved in their getting their kids away i mean work very closely with. c.p.s. . we work very hard to reassure families that that that's not how it works their families are also subject to the whims of whether it's economic instability the or family instability or health problems. family is run out of resources and they're

not able to stay in their apartment anymore stay with family or stay with friends or stay in a hotel i mean. a lot of times by the time the families that walk through those doors they've exhausted all of those resources. how are you getting so wet child. yes so we have this huge playground there is. you know as a ramp for. all of the kids the stuff like that and they still are still. they have this grassy area over here we try to keep the kids away from the gate just because of the semen on because this is the men's side of the shelter we are slide in the playground for the kids and stuff like that. i've been on and off homelessness since having for the 1st 6 months of his life we were stable and then i lost my job which intel lost my berman. but for you know for after that 6 months we did

pretty well you know we stayed with friends here and there we stayed with family but it sank i kind of started to feel like i was a burden these people you know because then they have to deal with my kid having his little fits in this that. you know i got another job and i was paying for hotel rooms you know 2 weeks out of each page i could i just got really expensive really pricey so you got it you're just like all right well i'm going to keep doing it i'm going to do and i got to get up i got to work. with having a kid a child with special abilities you kind of you don't really get much. expression when you're a single parent you don't at all you're constantly on the go on doing this doing that picking up picking up that. so you resort to of course a drug that makes you stay weak there isn't that surprisingly i got off it by myself i didn't go to rehab or anything i just kind of kicked it i've been clean for 3 months. there are about 150 beds

in this large storm area. for families who have small children it will be like if it's a single mom in a small one or 2 year old will share one of these small little bunks. and each family is allowed one of these totes per person so this has to be able to fit basically all of your earthly belongings in it. and that's not a lot of space as you can tell the it's tough for families. one of the great frustrations here in salt lake is that there's a substantial lack of affordable housing and so that's one of the barriers that clients have is finding

a place that they can continue to afford after our assistance ends clients a lot of times face other barriers to getting housing whether it's on their criminal background or they have evictions from prior apartments and so it can sometimes be really difficult for clients to find a place to live that will accept them with their background or with the funding from the road home. to help them get out of the rut that they're in.

we go to work you straight home. to her we often speak of the black hole of debt that is where all the debt in the universe ends up after it leaves a central bank balance sheet and it's a cosmic force pulling the g.d.p. of the world down now or a fever white hole of debt as i am fellow straining with this white piece of cardboard the white hole of dead is on the other side of the black hole of debt and in an era of negative interest rates and negative oil prices we have to rise our concept to debt hole from black to white makes sense and also course not. use. who we can prove.

going to get it. walking into the word don't and we no longer know what we're walking into. march. what she needs to break she. will say so.
