'd people people still have 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. through it through your belt loop walk to the construction site and you told the foreman that you could you could swing a hammer. he looked at you he knew he knew you didn't couldn't do it. but he gave

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 stir up and down tenets. oh. yeah we did not work at all that you've already. made a. pretty good movie. but my 6 point you did say. if you don't love isn't something you can really know because this is you know i'm going on. i'm not you know if you get there do you know. there's a process that you think is the. ha ha ha. ha ha.

my mask eyes are worth more of my guide to financial survival this is on it's a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these has flaws are simply not accountable and we're just adding more and more to the. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for guys or for. us who do most of the movie before. we're who we can birth. by going to go where you. going to get it. cleared carefully walking into a word don't you know we no longer know what we're walking into i can't see march if you wish it was if you need steve ritchie little bit. nervous. to chase pronounceable since

a google search. the 1st night i was almost. carry. a. person. because. i didn't have the card or thinking kilts right i was like ok. there's all kinds of scary people. 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 block down there you got bugs. rog just.

any worse thing you can. do you. seen it watched it in a pretty. i was a girl stabbed. it was on the news here. i was right there i would like. you know i'd seen it nor. right next to it everything else was good next to get guys of the drunk tank of. those reactors right through you know. they're all gone. past where most. my mom might well my father killed the cellphones fives.

then my step dad it was my dad because i didn't even know my dad really. here he was a lumberjack up there and careless of them can see out of tree fall. it cut down a tree last thing he remembered was the tree hitting the ground. so you got parallel. he died i was in prison he died. to. my mom she died of double pneumonia in 2005. but thank you lord for been my friend says he holds near every day and i love you brother. thank you for helping me thank you for being months ahead. 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. my

family back. to me and my grandmother. or have. you want to know what i just looked. back you may be right that. you are. reaching a point. i didn't mean but. i know you know i did i know it. might you wanted to know. so i said that.

magic word. and we've done has 0. 0 to. tell us what. you want to know what the right. course the egyptian almost no human 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 the definition going. because the way to cope with emotion the variation for reason. might recount maybe to 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 bury 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 make sure that that's true physiology psychologically spiritually so then people started engaging additions as a way of dealing with their pain or that addiction 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 there's no reader 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 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 that 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 and. there anything. surprise you not coming here we have a lot of that. is 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'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 to is a should 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 to solti they knew when they built that it was under built probably didn't know that it was in this 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 or we're going to take a look at the dormitories themselves during the night sleep we're going to sleep 100 minutes here there are paste management clients there in a plan they're in a program they're working on some goals that they've set through their program it may be incomes to build the it may be sobriety there's a lot of different kinds of things that case management will address but overnight 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 bit is assigned overnight to a specific individual so we'll have on this floor there are 100 bunk 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

intended to 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 a men's overnight shelter the demographic for homelessness across the nation is changed in austin so different and i think that's one of the things that we as a community you've got to address is. the systemic generalization. homelessness and the regeneration of people walking through our doors sometimes during the day and it's just kind of something we've got to get. so prince this is

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 housing 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 because

we wanted to look at we know the shelter system started in the late 82 early 83 and by mid 1983 was across the country in 1907 the federal government had passed almost as a major program of their. what the hell happened right before that. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision. every song came to a complete. you know told a shot to kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me. how many graham my arm and he write me with his birth thinking if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is

a very very traumatizing tat happen 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 than the offender and almost 10 year career which i was 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 tower and violence male sexual predators for the large part of whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. there's 2 kinds of leadership crisis leadership and non crisis leadership of 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 and the

differently if they gain those mentally healthy meters and you're not as good as. in the stories that shake the we kill it all to international call because of the global risk of losing a job as the richest people on the planet see the practicality on the back of over 90. community ball sports being considered by europe's top tourism officials to get economies rolling again the world health organization says the plan is flawed. and we take a look at may day celebrations from across the world with a twist for all this they were mostly limited to balconies and rooftops elsewhere some did fill out looked all bowls of socialist rules with dozens arrested.
