the. 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 almost this is the answer that if we punish people for 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

4:44 pm
a kid and in. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. you know i find myself today i know i don't look it 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 choices that i don't like 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
4:45 pm
a safe and i know i'm not that they are doing things is going to cost me my home that this man you know and i don't understand our calling you want to josh in my axe murder or whatever. i want you have a chance if. you want to 1st got out i was actually attacked by a guy from behind their lane he hit me in the face and inching 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 what is later to a week i actually in the phone into a suitor due to that and my he was going to his spot was a little bit come back and check all for me because i was laying out here by they are. it's known as 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 do. they get lost in that in that.
4:46 pm
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 called women that are having very specific needs that are we going to isn't doing 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 place for women to. tell all our gotos to not walk in the street or 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.
4:47 pm
or were. were. you know you income inequality and a good way to figure out which sort of in your own is with your company planes on each of the o.e.c.d. . you should like push workers calling for a much higher minimum wage workers in mcdonald's wendy's domino's pizza and more will want not the job. they were looking for federal 'd minimum wage is one create $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 to say that 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
4:48 pm
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 those has of congress fight over 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 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 believes and it's a new organization says 989 so you know that's approach we are. and i used to look at this population as. who they are the breakdown the veterans.
4:49 pm
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 that falls into 2 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 they travel someplace with less expensive 'd right
4:50 pm
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 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 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 rule they're trying to push a round. peg into a square hole 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
4:53 pm
load. team here you can hear people talk and. that is why you ready. oh you learned do you. think let me ringback see do you can help me with it. there are already you have to. move on from. here. 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 from the shelter is that all of us are. child
4:54 pm
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 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. 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 wet child. 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
4:55 pm
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 could i just got really expensive really pricey so you go to you 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. expression

4:57 pm
a lot of space as you can tell. it's tough for families. 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 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 in.
4:58 pm
the united states economy resembles to a large degree the economies of countries that the united states typically makes fun of you know the u.s. or the united nations will send aid and they'll send money to countries say in africa for example not to pick on africa but it does happen where the money never gets distributed it just ends up the leaders of that particular country and then they become fabulously wealthy. class. american citizens and they didn't want to.
