4:43 am
a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactive beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional a just a very democracies or power line with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle on o.t. . you know off i myself today i know i don't look it but i found myself in the home
4:44 am
state and you know mom homelessness is not disability i'm homeless within my body because i don't know am i making the right choices and i don't know why i don't know so instead of these us asking you i asked and they swear i need to be still and be all right we have our own claim on the safe. you know i'm not that they are doing things it's going to cost me my home that evening and you know and i don't understand how a calling you would have a job in my view a axe murderer whatever. i want to have it's if. i want to 1st got out i was actually attacked by a guy from behind and then he hit me in the face and they showing me around my neck or some guy for my. everything then december 13th i was hit in the head with a rock for me high and they actually caught that guy couple. airs later to we i actually in the go into a seizure due to that and. he was going to his spot was
4:45 am
a little bit come back and check off on me because i was laying out here by the hour. it's not everybody 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 their. overall tapestry of armistice i mean everybody's hard breaks for their children 1st of all and rightly so then there is the veteran then there is the mentally ill. you were there is a specific population called women that are having very specific needs that are we going to 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
4:46 am
place for women to. tell all of gotos to not walk in the street a lot at night in a dark that's the sort of imagine that you have no work to go. or know what to do and something. or worse. were. always on is being told in the quantity of a good way to figure out which song to beat your on is with your company planes on each of 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. you were looking for federal 'd minimum wage is one created $938.00 under the fair labor standards act ok which was in response to
4:47 am
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 in 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 to do anything so they just keep picking this number out of the year and those has of congress fight over debate over it and go back to 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 this 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
4:48 am
some different approaches like housing 1st get off the streets and then start dealing with them you know it's one. believes and that's an organization says 1989 so you know that's 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 substance 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 2 factions those who can work and those who can't work so
4:49 am
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 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 live in washington d.c. or with harlots in 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. some time to get one minimum wage homeless worker off the streets of washington d.c. 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
4:50 am
4:52 am
4:53 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 to the shelter is that all of us are. child and family services is going to be involved in their getting their kids away i mean work very closely with. the 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 the 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 i mean. 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.
4:54 am
yes so we have this huge playground there is. you know as a ramp for. all of the kids the 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 the men's side of the 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 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 to 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
4:55 am
was paying for hotel rooms you know 2 weeks out of each page i could i just got really expensive really pricey so you go to you're just like all right well i'm going to 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 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 was oh 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
4:56 am
each family is allowed one of these totes per person so 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
4:57 am
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. american citizen a divorce. or an attack on the. and. i would vote for a republican i would vote for anyone who does not and has half a brain. trying. to feed. my 2nd
