government is not the solution to our problem government is the problem. will be our 1st priority usually donnelly's presuppose there will be no compromise . 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 not a commodity. then it has no value and it shouldn't it isn't
4:34 am
a priority of the federal government so housing now it was just about how about people that was not a commodity that was just a ballet being up to the responsibilities of the federal government to ensure people have a clean d.c. from place to live that's not important anymore that's not i value. your term for walker bush william jefferson clinton who sailed over the water bush was shot in the iraq hussein obama do solemnly swear i told you on trial do you solemnly swear. the world would make sense with the work of the general wages of living standards of working class and poor people the city customs or declined since the late seventy's. the numbers of people who need housing and grow because of the growth of the population the supply is not up to the to nearly the same
4:35 am
extent so somebody is going to get squeezed out and some of the most people the momentum people will be the country have been squeezed. so now there's a new public housing so the shelter system is like a public housing so because housing is not treated as even the writer of the title meant which it should be either country as pope is this one. and order for us to get. and be right back to society and company office to try to resolve this issue it's gone on far too long. it's

a fundamental right like having food good fish. i think anybody care to. take a look at the universal declaration of human rights. as the peoples of the united nations have in the charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights in the dignity and worth of the human person and in equal rights and yet. to see that it's agreed that it's time to get any. sources and to. get money. out of my kind of. and it's when. it's considered. just general right actually the u.s. doesn't. universal declaration. i'm supposed to reject
4:37 am
most. of that there are 3 parts of this civic and political right. sort of social and economic. and there's cultural. and they're all are. doesn't just dismisses the cultural community. rejects you know. ringback politicians have concluded that there is no answer because the answer requires resources i don't believe that's true i think that housing is the answer homelessness that you have to have supportive housing yet we're not willing to prioritize that as cited in the crazy thing is that we're paying for it anyway we jail a homeless person is san francisco it cost $140.00 a night and that's about what it costs and some ill fairly nice hotels outside of the city yet we insist on believing that criminalization of
4:38 am
almost this is the answer that if we push people who are being homeless and being mentally ill that they're going to cure themselves and be off the streets when in fact it just becomes a cycle. tearing their hair it. seems. like. i am right trish subway. is the best. you can. give it. a chilling. i have a place to stay fit with things that were great. the cell phone or on the farrell.

a central plank support diet means you have a mind to stop. nuclear become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people have demanding the shut down of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit 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 who or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is or powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways our struggle.
4:44 am
shows seem wrong. when old rules. any new belief yet to shape our disdain and become educated and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she still look for common ground. you know i find myself today i know i don't look at but i found myself in a home state and you know mom homelessness is not just a building i'm homeless within my body because i don't know am i making the right
4:45 am
choices and i don't live i don't know the source that amazes us asking us and makes for i need to be still and be alright where i'm claim i'm a safe and i know i'm not that they are doing things it's going to cost me my home that makes me you know and i don't understand our calling you want to jot down my axe murder or whatever. i want to have a chance. to when i 1st got out i was actually attacked by a guy from behind and then he hit me in the face and gnashing choked me around my neck or survivorman. everything then december 13th i was hit in the head with a rock from a high and they actually caught that guy couple would days later to a week i actually in the phone into a suit or do that and my family was going to his spot was a little bit come back and check all for me because i was laying out here by the arch. it's known as
4:46 am
a body of knowledge in the year and it's it's more dangerous for women the world is more dangerous for women in that they didn't have the get to last in their in their . overall tapestry of ominous news i mean everybody's hog breaks for their children 1st of all and rightly so and there is the veteran and then there is the mentally ill by you. there is a specific population only women that are having there is specific needs that are we going to listen to 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 are hardly any beds available for them and it's an unsafe for a place for women to. tell all our daughters to not walk in the street a lot at night in
4:47 am
a dark that's the sort of imagine that you have no work to go. or know what i did when something. or were. were. in the us is income inequality a good way to figure out which song to beat your on is with your company planes on h.b.o. . you should like workers calling for a much higher minimum wage workers at mcdonald's wendy's domino's pizza and more will want not the job. they were look at the federal 'd minimum wage is 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
4:48 am
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 sense to you so we take that in the brace that but the problem is they never index to do anything so they just keep picking this number out of the year and those halves of congress fight over debate over 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 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 some different approaches like housing 1st get off the streets and then start dealing with them you know it's one you know we believe that that's an organization says 1989 so you
4:49 am
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 this group falls 'd into 22 factions those who can work and those who can't work so we walk away with this way it's 77 dollars in the quarter and 'd but i live in america and anybody who's lived in america has traveled anybody who's
4:50 am
traveled to travel to some place which is more expensive than where they came from and to travel someplace 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 whether you live in a harley engine texas they're going to said it is 7 decor right now there's talk of raising it to $10.00 an hour well the day that adds pass to $10.00 an hour that's the president is promoting for. something 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 a round. peg in a square hole and they've been doing it over and over again and what happens is
4:51 am

4:54 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. yes so we have this huge playground there is. you know as
4:55 am
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 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 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
4:56 am
going to keep doing it i'm going to do and 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 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 this picking up that it's. so you resort to of course a drug that makes you stay weak 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. 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 totes per person so this
4:57 am
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 sometimes be really difficult for clients to find a place to live that will accept them with their background or with the funding
4:58 am
from the road home. to help them get out of the rut that they're in. the united states economy resembles to a large degree the economies of countries that the united states typically makes fun you know the u.s. or the united nations will send aid. and they'll send money to countries. in africa for example not big on africa but it does happen where the money never gets distributed. to the leaders of that particular country and then they become fabulously wealthy.
