swing a hammer he looked at you he knew he knew you didn't couldn't do it. but he gave you shot let's do it let's come on their. spot at the y.m.c.a. is pretty cool 10 bucks a night you can go get a little girl gets your room stash your stuff. get a good night's sleep good on the hall in the morning. use the shared bathroom and go off and. try to get you know at the same job and you can't do that 1st all those s.r.o. single room occupancy units they're gone they became condos for sale they became parking lots they y.m.c.a. got out of the business you know when i was growing up there's no such thing as homes there's no sick. needs of people who had problems you know skid row and these types of things out the whole of farms and we didn't have

a population was so big that we coined 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 to 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. grew out of your.

car. or. truck so he's going to rip syrup in downtown it's. oh. yeah we did that we're going all the way you've already. made a. pretty good movie. with my 6 plank you see. if you go alone this is all good. and this is you know i'm going on. i'm not even if you get there do you know. there's a process that you think is the right.

that you know you don't try to come down to. the number to down so you've been born so. just because. that's in the out of the front i don't need to be. alive to go i don't need to be like oh i will write. i choose i have no rights is that right was not given to me by me. and air is deemed it's all during you know. have you. being the good serial killer how it done right now and what did the state of colorado how to stop it he was the right so how is it not so hot even making that one dollar you cannot even get decent clothes.

woods in my magic court they snort a magic court that is my cadillac baby that's my cattle. you know if you're all homeless person you gotta have some certain things right. you got to have some booze you gotta have some booze. you know have a blanket. ordered my paper to go you gotta have paper paper he got to have paper. class to go have plastic. bungee cords and. he guarded. all of the years. she's gone. all of us we got to have her son. home make you

feel alone make your room. and you've got to go to. a new book commuter to mono or. how to kind of a light. sometimes. it's going to get out the light. it's close to the. cloud by the man as kind of like a school you go blank that's it's all blank as does my coat. i mean has been winner dude it's been when a. freeze to death and. i came close once the 1st storm that came through. i woke up under 2.4 inches of snow and.

during that year we talk about all those crazy problems out there and then during the summer we deal with solutions that's right so lucian's and today we're going to be talking with a big nose of coin floor dot dot u.k. . fullest and illegal takeover of government by a small group. rather than revolutionaries will soon just conduct small group the corporations when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us don't get together and take it back. please or sacrifice some

places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so you see things like voter suppression building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of undemocratic practices for wealthy use of that world for well for this world and there's no question that the. first night i was almost. gary. kirsten. powers. i didn't have the carter hanging guilt right like. a.

there's all kinds of scary people out here. carol 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. in the middle of the book down there you got bugs. rog just. where did you get. any worse thing you can. do you. seen it watched it. in 830. i was a girl stabbed. it was on the news here. i was right there i would like. you know i'd seen it norton. and right next to it everything else was cut next to get guys of the drunk tank.

to see we have heard right through you know. they're all gone. past when the story. my mom might well my father killed himself when i was 5 so. then my step dad it was my dad because i didn't even know my dad really was. here he was a lumberjack up there and careless of them can stay out of tree follow. him cut down a tree last thing he remembered was the tree hitting the ground so you got parallel . he died i was in prison and he died. my mom she died

a double pneumonia in 2005. but 2. thank you lord for women friend says he holds near again and more love your brother. thank you for helping me. 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. in my family back. my girl knows. all that. you want to know i just looked at it. but it made me write down.

everything. i did mean by that. i know you know i do it i know it. might you want to know what you. saw it said that. magic want you. here my family has owed and. told. me if you want to know what to write. and i quote the edition of a most know huma foods 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 have been deprived early will then create conditions for themselves that would keep the definition going. because the way to cope with emotion the variation for example might be might be to be get very hostile. if you are still 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 very well turn to addictions. and all the addictions are always about pain and my mantra is not why the addition but why the pain and make sure that that's true physiologically psychologically spiritually. so then people started engaging additions as a way of dealing with their pain but that addition of the 1st true that i state that. because the inner is going to be with an addict the reason of the soul is very difficult and painful to do so but for the addict it reinforces that i'm all

alone and over 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 time 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 earring everything but it 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 puts you in her lap and you just don't want chicken soup that's what their own feeling. is that we would love. you know then you ask why can't people give it up they can 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. it's a chair when there is day i. am really. surprised

not coming here we have a lot of that. the arch facility is what we call a low demand shelter their. 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 pleads that we're not requiring any partizan ation in a program or service in order to be in the building there's 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 constructed on this property as a 100 bed facility they knew when they built that it was under built probably didn't know that it was in the under built as it actually is today we sleep 230 min in this facility every night 1st was the 100 beds that we were created with 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 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 over night 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 have got to address is. the systemic generalization homelessness and the regenerations of homeless people walking through our doors sometimes during the day and it's just kind of something we've got to get on. so prince this is a shelter provider but we're also a housing provider we recognize the necessity of shelter but we do. shelter is a band aid to the issue of really the solution 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 band-aid it was shelter.

without housing report was we put it out in 2006 we formed rat. in 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 eighty's early 83 and by mid 1983 was across the country by 1987 the federal government had passed almost as a major program of their. what the hell happened right before that. is really usually truth is there any truth in the news also but there's this one

creature known as say about trucks. but it's. not just. a free. market. but if. you push too much he gets more some.
