12:30 am
we have been learning that a lot of all call by many. believe that are probably for octet if. it is taken initiated. at last we're getting an example like live. in those particular one i'll be your wife pounding on. this is i think represents the 100 housing rally deal 9. 100 pounds of lamb. just felt as one of many to me.
12:31 am
you know if there's one homeless person in the street it's a bit. you shouldn't have a civil. society you know which people have to sleep on the street. i mean that's just.
12:32 am
12:33 am
government is not the solution to our problem government is the problem. will be our 1st priority 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 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 people that was not a commodity that was. ballet being up to their responsibilities of the federal government
12:34 am
agencies or 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 waving the deficit on their side of the water bush dishonest iraq you said obama you solemnly swear i dawdled you on trial do you solemnly swear. the world would make sense without the work of the general wages of living standards of working class and poor people the city customs are 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 close to the to nearly the same extent so somebody is going to get squeezed out and some of the most people the moment the people over the country have been squeezed out of the bottom.
12:35 am
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 the country is both 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 that fish. like you can buy care let's take a look at the universal declaration. human rights. as the peoples of the
12:36 am
united nations have in the charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the writings. to see that it's a debate that's just and. that seems. so it seems to be. at the web. and it's when. it's considered. just general right actually the u.s. doesn't accept the universal declaration of its 6 because it would reject most. of that there are 3 parts of this civic and political right. sort of
12:37 am
social and economic. and there's cultural. and they're all are but the u.s. doesn't just dismisses the cultural community to the rejects so as 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 to homelessness that you have to have supportive housing yet we're not willing to prioritize that as siding and the crazy thing is that we're paying for it anyway we jail a homeless person is after cisco 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
12:38 am
mentally ill they're going to cure themselves and be off the streets what in fact it is becomes a cycle. of . 30 down here it. seems. and whatever i may change direction of the subway. is the best. way to surely. you know. that's. why i have a place to stay stay with me are great. the self or on the strip. club. doesn't stay next door open to the church makes home. life it's
12:39 am
as if you. even go to the city or county and get a map that shows us all over the you know county. and there's over 400 miles and log along they go all the way down to the freeway and they sit there there's that a feeling goes over tropicana somewhere. sure they can. you know this is this is some. history warming rooters of you know the music going to be known this was in the issue. i don't think. i'm tunnels in las vegas in years. because they. should. say. my name is guy and we were.
12:40 am
around 10 years ago and strays and she was in the same situation and she didn't know what to do and that's in that. disaster she would. say when's the best place. to stay in the home hotel right and he left me to me go across the street to see if we came back he was gone so i was strange he was bought by cosmo readers. now is take years ago they have you know i haven't taken over 30 years. that we've had 5 months we've had you know. i make for 6 to 7 am i so security is. just not enough to say. we do better in the summertime because it gets to you. and get you all.
12:41 am
the good side. of a really good. lingo the charged up dollars. they fly aside for a few dollars and. they gives me you know. it all of us just a. kid she had a big girl. this is the. rest. and i say knowing. that this is not. really is. you know a lot of people are one of the real. this is this.
12:42 am
seemed wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any you could get to shape out of this thing becomes a ticket and indeed from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. nuclear power plants have become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people are demanding the shutdown of a local plant from mike yeah gates is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactive beyond its operational limit this case just sort of puts
12:43 am
a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where is 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 r.t. . you know off i myself today i know i don't look at but i found myself in the home state and you know my home this is is not just the building i'm home is within my body because i don't know am i making the right choices and i don't know right i
12:44 am
don't know for 7 days is asking you i saw next friday to be still and be all right we're on claim i'm a slave. no i'm not that they are doing things it's going to cost me my home that i'm the man you know and i don't understand how calling it was john 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 from. everything then december 13th i was hit in the head with. iraq for me how they actually caught that guy a couple what airs later to we i actually in the go into a seizure due to that. mark he was going to his spot was a little bit come back in charge of phone me because i was laying out here by they are. it's known as a body of knowledge in in the year and it's it's more dangerous for women the world
12:45 am
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 are the resist specific population only women that are having there is 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 for place for women to. tell all our gotos to not walk in the streets or at night in a dark neighborhood that's the sort of imagine that you have no work to go or no work
12:46 am
to argue and something at. the. coalition on this is an income inequality in a good way to figure out which side of it you're on is whether your county pine for h.b.o. or stealing is a nationwide push workers calling for a much higher minimum wage workers at mcdonald's wendy's domino's pizza and more low. john. you 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 a standard ensures that if somebody puts their 40 hours in
12:47 am
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 so they just keep picking this number out of the year and those has of congress fight over it debate over it and go. back and forth and so. you know maybe get raised a dollar or maybe it's $0.75 whatever so we sort of started this problem backwards you know we now have $3500000.00 people experiencing homelessness 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 him off the streets and then start dealing with them you know which is one you know we believes and that's an organization says 1989 so you know that's approach we vary and i used to look at this population as.
12:48 am
who they are the breakdown the veterans. 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 temple's we view them as. this whole as 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 7 to 7 dollars in the quarter and but i i live in america and anybody who's lived in america's travel anybody who's traveled is travel to some place which is more expensive than where they came from
12:49 am
and they travel someplace with less expense right now the government uses the concept of one size fits all. that's what they keep doing it's like 70 court for everybody so whether you live in washington d.c. or with the harlings in texas they're going to set it to 7 decor right now there's talk of there is a need to $10.00 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 rule they're trying to push around. pig in 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
12:50 am
a 1000 economies so in 1907 we devised. a single national formula based on existing government guidelines.
12:51 am
if. you.
12:52 am
think. we are very are. on the wall. are you ready. if. ringback you could help me with it. we. know. so here their own home we have a family show for women shelter in them and shelter so one of the big fears that
12:53 am
our families have when they come down from the shelter is that all of a sudden child and family services is going to be involved in their getting their kids away i mean working very closely with. the c.p.s. . we work really 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. families 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 oh yes so we have this huge playground there's. you know they have the ramp for all of the kids the stuff like that and they still are still. they have
12:54 am
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 of being 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 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 paycheck and 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 do it i got to get up i got to work. anyway
12:55 am
having a kid a child with special abilities you kind of you don't really get much data type 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 say wait. 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 like a 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
12:56 am
basically all of your earthly belongings and. that's not a lot of space as you can tell and 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 from the road home. to help them get out of the rut that they're him.
12:57 am
