government is not a solution to our problem government is the problem. and will be our 1st priority. these presuppose there will be no compromise. one of the points that we really felt was important to get across when you're talking about cause and effect is priorities if nobody's making money on it i not a commodity then it has no value and it shouldn't it isn't
12:35 am
a priority of the federal government so housing that was just from about people that was not a commodity that was just a ballet being up to the responsibilities of the federal government and so our people have a clean d.c. a fun place to live that's not important anymore that's not value. your term for walker bush william jefferson clinton who saw the water bush has drawn into iraq hussein obama do solemnly swear i told john truong do you solemnly swear. or it would make sense with the work of the general wages of living standards of working class and poor people the city constant or declined since the late seventy's. the numbers of people who need housing and grow because of their growth in the population the supply is not to the to nearly the same extent so
12:36 am
somebody is going to get squeezed out and some of the most people who are low income people over the country have been squeezed out of the. so now there's a new public housing so the shelter system is like a public housing because housing is not treated as even the writer of the title meant which it should be the country has both uses one. and order for us to get. and be right back to society and company as you try to resolve this issue it's gone on far too long it's
12:37 am
a fundamental right like having food good 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 to any. source seems to. be. one of my kind of. and it's one. it's considered. just general right actually the u.s. doesn't accept. universal declaration it's explicit
12:38 am
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. ringback 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 it cost $140.00 a night and that's about what it costs and some ill fairly nice hotels outside of the city yet we insist on believing that criminalization of
12:39 am
almost this is the answer that if we could just 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 it. a chilling. i have

12:42 am
that we've had 5 months 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 because it gets too hot and get too old. we get inside me and everything every really get there. we go in the charged up dollars. we 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. the rest of you. and i say no no. you know. it's just it's not nice not really if. you know all lot of people are
12:43 am
one. the air or. the world is driven by drink shaped by. the dangerous thinks. we fear to ask. i guess you know we're going to talk about more about. you know jobs are not really needed you know the part of us locked down people assume millions of millions of people to use in their job would have something material to impact on the fortunes
12:44 am
of the economy as a whole but no it only affects the surface plumbs deep as a. matter of fact it's a great ad. if you're in the banking only and you see stocks trading higher and bank stocks looming higher workers are needed taxes are needed when you can. her money printer go burn the only. you know i find myself today i know i don't look it 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
12:45 am
choices and i don't live i don't know the source that amazes us asking us and makes what i need to be still and be alright where i'm claim on the safe side you know i'm not that they are doing things it's going to cost me my home that in this manner you know i am i don't understand our calling you want a job in my area and it's murder on whatever. i want you have a chance if. you want to 1st got out i was actually attacked by a guy from behind their lane he hit me in the face and inching choked me around my neck or survivorman. there they were in december 13th i was hit in the head with a rock from a high and they actually caught that guy couple with airs 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 off on me because i was laying out here by they are. it's known as
12:46 am
a body of knowledge in 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 tapestry of ominous news i mean everybody's hog breaks for their children 1st of all and rightly so and there is the veteran and then there is the mentally ill by you. there is a specific population called women that are having very specific needs that are we going to use and do 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 place for women to. 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 no work to go. or know
12:47 am
what to do and something. or were. way. too early to know you just being told in the quality of a good way to figure out which song to beat your on is when you'll call many pints of each the o.e.c.d. . you should like workers calling for a much higher minimum wage workers in mcdonald's wendy's domino's pizza and more will want not the job getting. it will 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 to say that and after the depression congress got together and started to say well we should set
12:48 am
a standard that ensures that if somebody puts 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 has of congress fight over debate over it and go do that and that and it made it back and forth and so. you know maybe get raised a dollar maybe it's $0.75 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 it's one. believes and it's an organization says 1989 so you know that's
12:49 am
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 so this is 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 as a group that falls into $22.00 factions those who can work and those who can't work so we walk away with this way it's $77.00 in the quarter and 'd but i i live in america and anybody who's lived in america has traveled anybody who's traveled
12:50 am
is travel to some place which is more expensive than where they came from and they travel some place 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 lose in washington d.c. or whether you live in a harley engine texas they're going to set it to 7 decor right now there's talk of there is you $10.00 an hour well the day that adds pass to $10.00 an hour that's the president's promoting for. something to get one minimum wage homeless worker off the streets of washington. 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 around. pig in the square and they've been doing it over and over again and what happens is it's
12:51 am
12:53 am
12:54 am
so here the road 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 i. am a service is going to be involved in their getting their kids away i mean work very closely with. c.p.s. . we work really 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 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. but 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
12:55 am
a ramp for. all of the kids stuff like that and 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 them inside the shelter we are slidin 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 were stable and then i lost my job which intel lost my burman. 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 can hear just like alright well i'm going to
12:56 am
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 down time 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 this 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 tow it's her person so
12:57 am
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. it's tough for families. and 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
12:59 am
somebody. yes let's see yes. i was on the floor some days in my bathroom you know trying praying. when i would. sign for west to die worms i was having children fever i didn't have any sense of space or smell from the most young women or girls would you. recently she had most of the old world is used to. that one time when he was on the grounds of the research. i have heard and. push myself
1:00 am
but it is for me in the 58 i'll go to. i am i staggered this is the kaiser report i guess you know we're going to talk about more and about you know jobs are not really needed in other part of this lockdown people assume that millions and millions of people doing their job would have something material impact on the fortunes of the economy as a whole but no it only affects the surface clubs the presidents matter fact it's a great opportunity if you're in the banking elite and you see stocks trading higher.
