3:49 am
3:50 am
magic. and we've done has 0 and. you want to know what they did right there. because the addition of this no uma fus says nothing because 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 their position going. because the way to cope with emotion the variation from is a. might be found maybe to be get very hostile. or if you are still going to be rejected. and that's going to reinforce your sense of being rejected in the 1st
3:51 am
place. for you my to deal with the pain that some variable turn to addictions and all the addictions are always about pain in 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 reasonably so it's very difficult and painful to do so but for the addict even forces that i'm all alone there's nobody there 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 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 of 06 was something muscles have to scars earing everything but
3:52 am
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 in your lap and you just don't want chicken soup that's what their own feeling. is starting with 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
3:53 am
you sir. it's a pull up a chair right there is day in. there well it. surprised not coming here we have a lot of. the arts 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 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
3:54 am
a program or service in order to be in the building and there's not going to be a requirement for you to be sober to be in the building you can come in and 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 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 in those under built as it actually is today we sleep 230
3:55 am
min in this facility every night versus the 100 beds that we were created with but 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 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 some mats that go down the floors and we're sleeping in places in this building that we were never really
3:56 am
intended sleep including our lobby our 2 conference rooms as well as our dining room. 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. the regenerations of people walking through our doors sometimes during the day it's just something we've got to get on. so princess is
3:57 am
a shelter provider but we're also 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 hopper to need to use 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. us department of agriculture and urban through housing and urban development and
3:58 am
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. the world is driven by shaped by. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.
3:59 am
you to do most of their sort of imagery to force the person a supreme being mean or google or even birth. right mama she said that's. going to do it. you're definitely walking into words all in all we no longer know what we're walking into i can't see march. what she needs to break she what that. means that he is nervously. blue shirts possible sensible so. bob i am you cannot be both with me yet
