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 eat it's not a commodity then it has no value and it shouldn't it isn't a priority of the federal government so housing that was just from about people that was not a commodity that was just in ballet being up to their responsibilities of the federal government to ensure people have a clean d.c. a fun place to live that's not important anymore that's not our values. george herbert walker bush william jefferson clinton who sailed over the water bush has gone 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

1:44 am
logs in the news over those 3 words looking from a little green they didn't even want boyfriends or she didn't just go for the person someone to go to i'm sure. you know off by myself today i know i don't look at but i found myself in a home state and you know my home this is is not just the building homes within my body because i don't know am i making the right choice and i don't like i don't know for 7 days is asking you i guess and therefore i need to be still and be all right where i'm calling the safe you know i'm not that good thing is going to cost
1:45 am
me a model that you know and i don't say oh calling one of john in my axe murder or whatever . i want to have. when i 1st got out i was actually attacked by a guy from behind in their lane he hit me in the face and gnashing 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 a couple what airs later to a week i actually in the go into a seizure due to that and. he was going to his spot with a little bit come back and check off on me because i was laying out here by the arch. it's known as a body know it in in the year and it's it's more dangerous for women the world is more dangerous for women in that. they get lost in the in the.
1:46 am
overall tapestry of promises i mean everybody's hard breaks for their children 1st of all and rightly so and there is the veteran then there is the mentally ill by you would do is assess pacific population only women that are having there is specific needs to a we going to this 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 for a place for women to. tell all gotos 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 no what do i do when something.
1:47 am
or were. were. in the us is being told in the quote to good wages figure out which song to beat your own is with your company planes on h.b.o. to. me shit like bush workers calling for a much higher minimum wage workers at mcdonald's wendy's domino's pizza and more will want not the job getting. it we 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 the same and after the depression congress got together and started to say well we should set 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
1:48 am
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 both halves of congress fight over it debate over it and go do that and that and it and it back and forth and so. you know maybe get raised a dollar maybe it's $0.75 whatever so we sort of this started this problem backwards you know we now have $3500000.00 people experiencing homelessness 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 in us and the organization says $989.00 so you know that's approach we are. and i used to look at this population as. who they are the breakdown the veterans.
1:49 am
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 is travel to some place which is more expensive than where they came from and the travel someplace with less expense right now the government uses the concept of one
1:50 am
size fits all. so they keep doing it's like 70 court for everybody so whether you lose in washington d.c. or with the harley engine texas they're going to set it to 7 decor right now there's talk of raising it to 10 dollars 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 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 a very soft mork approach to our nation is made of a 1000. so you know we devised. a single national
1:53 am
t.v. you can hear people talking. that i you. yeah oh you learned do you want to let me ringback see do you can help me with it. for everything you have. done to them for. a. week. or more. so here their own 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 are. child
1:54 am
and family services is going to be involved in their getting their kids away i mean working very closely with. c.p.s. . we work very 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 apartment in the more stay with family or stay with friends or save the 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 child i mean yes so we have this huge playground there's. you know they have the ramp for all of the kids in stuff like that and they still are still. they have this grassy area over here we try to keep the kids away from the gate just because of
1:55 am
the semen on because this is an inside a shelter we are slide in 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 we 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 as little fits and less than the others so you know i got another job and i was paying for hotel rooms you know 2 weeks out of each page i can i just got really expensive really pricey so you get it you're just like all right well i'm going to keep doing it i'm going to join i got to get up i got to work. anyway having a kid a child with special abilities you kind of you don't really get much talent time
1:56 am
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 awake. 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. and we've been hearing. 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 this has to be able to fit basically all of your earthly belongings and. that's not a lot of space as you can tell. it's tough for families.
1:57 am
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 and clients a lot of times face other barriers to getting housing whether it's on their criminal background or they have eviction. 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 from the road home. to help them get out of the rut that they're him.
1:58 am
