7:43 pm
there's and their job would have some material impact on the fortunes of the economy as a whole but not it only affects the surface. as a. matter of fact it's a great opportunity if you're in the banking only and you see stocks trading higher and bank stocks will mean higher workers are needed taxes are needed when you can. infer money for turbo burn you know them best. shouldn't somebody. just let me see i guess. i was on the floor some days in my bathroom you know trying praying. i. mean once time there's time for us to die worms i was having children

7:48 pm
7:49 pm
magic. and we've done has 0 and. told. me if you want to know what the right. course the addition of this no uma fus says nothing requires the affairs of a sad life as a graphic view of the human body in the psychological sense especially to people that have beef deprived early will then create conditions for themselves that will keep their position going. because the way to cope with emotion the variation from is. might recount 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
7:50 pm
turn to addictions and all the additions are always about pain and my mantra is not why the addiction but why the pain and i'm sure that that's true physiologically psychologically spiritually. so then people started engaging additions as a way of dealing with their pain or that addiction with their 1st true that i state that. because failure is going to be with an addict the reason of the so very difficult and painful to do so but for the addict is even forces that i'm alone in order for me and which makes them further. inclined to engage in addictive behavior to suit that theme of 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 start. and what she's saying is she experienced a sense of love and connection which is what the endorphins do in the brain. and the guy and he talks a few years of 06 was something muscles have to scars earing everything but
7:51 pm
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 dog 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 i pleasure and delight and reward and that sense of connection. so homelessness in the chronically homeless may be seen as a coping mechanism. thank
7:52 pm
you sir. it's a charity there is data. there well it. can surprise you not coming here we have a lot of that. the arts facility is what we call a low demand shelter their very low demand is that we don't ask you to do anything it's just that they can and it will 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 partizan patient in a program or service in order to be in the building and there's not going to be
7:53 pm
a requirement for you to be sober to be in the building you can come in under the influence of drugs or alcohol just and have you bring 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 other than. 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 and as 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
7:54 pm
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 every night they get to sleep in our dormitories. which are bunk bed style we have 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
7:55 pm
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 often just 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 something we've got to get out. so princess is a shelter provider but we're also
7:56 pm
a housing provider we recognise the necessity of shelter but we do look at shelter as a band aid to the issue of almost really the solution for homelessness is 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 bandaid 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 we know the shelter system started in the late
7:57 pm
eighty's to 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. there's 2 kinds of leadership crisis leadership and non crisis leadership in the. non-crisis leadership when things are stable in their cities and prosperity in the past produce the future and you just ask me to. mentally healthy person is a better. crisis periods when you need creativity and risk. taking in a just way of saving those mentally healthy meters as you're not as good as this man.
7:58 pm
you cannot be both with the yeah you want. thousands of american men and women she was just sort of in the country's military and the decision little sheltered lives every thing came to a complete. the day that i was raped be instructed you know told to shut up kill me and i see how i would destroy life any screamed at me and he made me come in and you grab my own arm and he write me with his birthing area if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half
7:59 pm
a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing have happened but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished don't be offended i had an almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our violent male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's men or women. the world is driven by shaped by one person with those words.
8:00 pm
the day or thinks. we dare to ask. i am i staggered this is the kaiser report i guess you know we're going to talk about more and about tahoe you know the jobs are not really needed in other part of this lockdown people assume that millions and millions of people doing their job would have some immaterial impact on the fortunes of the economy as a whole but no it only affects the surface clubs the presence of matter of fact it's a great opportunity if you're in the banking elite and you see stocks trading higher and.
