we named this mom and me and paul. you can look silly. seducer let's just play a little mom yes he's going to have to feel we don't look at that isn't a moment oh i'm. gonna look. back and sure enough was also. the answer to. his financial status with your don't. believe in the same.

old 60. 3. we have the resources. we're out of the you know. we're out of the curb you know we have the compassion and we mark. o'mara the barrow effect you. are. our.

sure. america. one neighbor of. our. world was coping right now behind us and is one of the city's biggest homeless camps and it stretches for blogs on this warehouse district as you can see the government figures more than a 1000000 school aged children are homeless number of homeless families world in suburban u.s. has risen by 60 percent. one moment that trains are now women about 10 percent according to the v.a. but most long term housing is designed for that and that's where some volunteers are making a difference helping women veterans and their families. in the current old time you

know if you want a real hero remains to be a war fighter or any you have experienced some pretty cold nights out here but the navy used to play one of the toughest low. almost out of reach due to the kind of locations that we find people use your resume you know this is a right what is a gold medal and. what you're about to see is turn rejected because mentally disturbed homeless man illegally camping in the hills above albuquerque new mexico will soon fall victim to police bullets i don't know you would be my honor to mourn to know almost every day that goes by in the media you hear about education. jobs and health care you never hear about affordable housing. are you doing ok medically. when i started i was actually really shocked at how ill you. or on the street it was like going to a 3rd world country. and this is a map that shows you the foreclosures initiated over the last 2 years every single

one has for. the record i do know it's pretty well but i do know the name of the person archer paradise say was assaulted last tuesday he may have some booze or broken ribs. it is estimated the poverty rate for kids in this country will soon hit 25 percent those children would be the largest american generation to be raised in hard times since the great depression. the 1st day. psychologically how hits is you like anyone you know you have no friends in the world people like. even though they probably don't know

you know now they may in aljunied but you yourself know it look like you don't have a friend in the world like everybody's walking pay as you well when you've been out of the rest of the world this is a strange feeling that it's a real. it's as about i'll go there like people who are not a 5 if you live in leading lady try and think about when my going to see some of them sleep. in the. night as before some of the family homes to go through with. this is my last stop. on the one i would do if i don't give up on the most ethical . 'd people people still have the belief that this is the. and of opportunity that you can go out and get a minimum wage job and then you get another job pays more than minimum wage and

screwed yourself up when i when i was growing up there was absolutely you know. you want to be a construction guy. took your dad's hammer. threw through your belt loop walked in the construction site and you told the foreman that you could you could swing a hammer. he looked at you he knew he knew you didn't couldn't do it. but he gave you shot let's do it let's come on their. spot at the y.m.c.a. is pretty cool 10 bucks a night you can go get a little girl gets your room stash your stuff. get a good night's sleep good on the hall in the morning. use the shared bathroom and go off and. try again you know at this age oh and you can't do that 1st all those s.r.o. single room occupancy units they're gone they became condos for sale they became

parking lots they y.m.c.a. got out of the business you know when i was growing up there's no such thing as homes there's no sick. needs of people who had problems you know skid row and these types of things alcoholic farms and we didn't have a population was so big that we coined a phrase and named it homelessness you know and now it's become ingrained in our society but we know that if we can get the attention the american people and if they can really understand. this one thing that you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing. if we can get them to understand that and we can bring the solution because everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of it is. we're not.

it's grew out of your. power. strip so he's going to rip syrup in downtown it's. oh. yeah we did that we're going all the way you've already. made a. pretty good movie. but my 6 going. to go love is all you know because this is you know i'm going on the. i'm not

even a big deal. there do you know. there's a process that you think is the. ha ha ha ha ha ha. ha ha. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. that's. ok. guys you know if you all morning but you got a lawful order families. that does start. trouble we're going to take this or we're going to take what i've got to live up to disobey the law or order. putting all of us here usually the ballots will be delayed admirably they're not. here we were i was wondering how i was earlier or. oh

right you know i have a right to go out just watch. just what i don't understand really is as a veteran you have more opportunities to get housing does not perform there's no that you know you don't try to come down when you thought ok. so you've been doing so. just because. this is the out of the brand i don't need to be. allowed to go i don't need to be like oh i will write. i choose i have no rights is that right was not given to me by me. and air is deemed it's all during you know. have everything the studio done right now and. how to stop the rape so how is it not so hot

'd all the years. she's gone. all of us we got to have her son. paul make you feel alone make you feel when you got to go to have. a new book commuter from all over. think how to live kind of a light. sometimes. it's going to get out the light. close the. clouds buy a new man as kind of like a school you go blank that's it's all blank is just my coat. i mean it's been winner dude it's been when a. freeze to death and. i came close once the 1st storm that came

through. i woke up under 2 inches of ice and 4 inches of snow and. the last of the spear was manchu and when you read all of those lists initial what show just what that also is blurb. but so far they're short and you must draw called the limit you will quote them in the us want to quickly sing in months and. when you last and then you think that it's a proper venue mahseer another right at the core of them but the we're all ears most of them the stage door then you must at those ledgerwood to keep the most of

them there were still police and your thumb is all down for a sham doing what all the money. is like god only bullet will get that in the us those days i need some i would put in that would know more than the buddhists. one else seemed wrong but all wrong just don't call. me i'll get to shape out these things become fixed tickets and indeed trade equals betrayal . points on many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

that 1st night i was almost. that was a scary. person . because. i didn't have to show up with carter thinking kilts right i was like ok. there's no kinds of scary people out here. care you know i mean there's all kinds of scary people right and i'm from the mountains i'm from up in the mountains and then i get dropped down out here is. it on me in the middle of the book down there you got bugs. rog just.

what do you do. any worse thing you can. do you. watched it. in a word. i was. stabbed. it was on the news. right there i would like. to know i've seen it nor. right next to it everything else now needs to get guys in the drunk tank of. tuesday we have heard right through you know. they're all gone. past when the. my mom my father killed the cell phones fives. then my step dad it was my dad because i didn't even know my dad really was.

here he was a lumberjack up there and chemists can see out of tree fall. is cut down a tree last thing he remembered was the tree hitting the ground so you got parallel . he died i was in prison he died he. was. my mom she died 6 a double pneumonia in 2005. but. thank you lord for being my friend says he holds near again in love your brother. thank you for helping me thank you for being one. and i will get by another day i will get by another day because i will. if you had a magic wand waving giving everyone would you get. my

family back. to my grandma's. or have. you wanted you know i just looked. at my grandma. it made me all right straight don't. care don't. you think. i didn't mean it but. i know you know i did i know it. might you wanted to know. so i said that.

magic. has owed. me if you want to know what the right. course the addition of this no you my foo says nothing because the affairs of a sad life as graphically as the boy in the psychological sense especially to people that have been deprived early. well then create conditions for themselves. depression growing. because the way to cope with emotions that are ition for example might. be to be get very hostile. you're going to be rejected. and that's going to reinforce your sense of being rejected in the 1st place. or you

my to do with the pain that some variable turn to addictions and all the additions are always about. my mantra is not why the addition but why that and i'm sure that others do physiologically psychologically spiritually. so then people started engaging additions as a way of dealing with their pain but that addiction with the 1st. because the inner is going to deal with an addict reasonably so very difficult and painful but for the addict is reinforces that i'm all alone in order for me which makes them further. inclined to engage in behavior that. especially aid worker 27 year old said to me when i asked her what her own did for the 1st time i did heroin. and was she saying she experienced a sense of love in connection. with the endorphins doing the very. detox fusible. something muscles to scars hearing everything that it was walking towards me in an

alley i'd run the other way when i asked him where they are and do for you and he said i don't tell you this dog was like when you 3 years old and you sharing because you sick as a kid and you mother actually no one blanket put you in your lap and you just don't want chicken soup with their own. love. then you ask why can't people give it up they can't give it up because the only way they found the pain relief and pleasure and delight and reward and a sense of connection. so homelessness in the chronically homeless may be seen as a coping mechanism.

thank you sir. it's a hell of a charity there is day and. there was. a surprise not coming here we have a lot of that. the arts facility is what we call a low demand shelter they're very low demand is that we don't ask you to do anything it's just that they've been ordered to walk through the door other than their security and behavior guidelines for us the definition of loaded been sheltering fluids that we're not requiring any for just a short in a program or service in order to be in the building and there's not going to be

a requirement for you to be sober to be in the building you can come in and under the influence of drugs or alcohol we just can't have you bringing it in with you so it's an opportunity to work with our clientele on sobriety issues and we'd much rather have them inside the building and under the influence than in the safety concern on the offical. what we've got right now is welcome to our 3rd floor this is our dormitory floor here at the arch we were originally constructed on this property is a 100 bed facility and they knew when they built that it was under built probably didn't know that it was in those under built as it actually is today we sleep 230 min in this facility every versus the 100 beds that we were created with we're

going to take a look at the dormitories themselves during the nicely we're going to sleep 100 minutes here there are case management clients there in a plan they're in a program they're working on some goals that they step through their program it may be in comes to build the it may be sobriety there's a lot of different kinds of things that case management will address but over night they get to sleep in our dormitories. which are bunk bed style we have some storage and underneath each bed they love being able to store their own stuff and because they're in our shelter program in our case management program each bed is assigned overnight to a specific individual so we'll have on this floor there are 100 beds and then overnight the way we get to the 230 is we also have the mats that go down the floors and we're sleeping in places in this building that we were never really intended sleep including our lobby our 2 conference rooms as well as our dining

room. our overall population profile is a 35 to 45 year old caucasian male struggling with mental health drug and alcohol addiction we see a lot of veterans in that mix too and then we've got a lot of women and children although this is i'm in the overnight shelter the demographic for homelessness. across the nation is changed in austin so different and i think that's one of the things that we as a community have got to address is the systemic generalization of homelessness and the regeneration of homeless people walking through our doors sometimes during the day and it's just kind of something we've got to get on. so prince this is a shelter provider but we're also

a housing provider we recognize the necessity of shelter but we do look at shelter as a band aid to the issue of almost really the solution for homelessness is house if you've got limited housing opportunities you've got limited opportunities to house the homeless so it's really been a push in our community to get more housing stock on the ground so that we can solve homelessness and not just band-aid it was shelter. without housing report was we put it out in 2006 we formed rat. and made 2005 and immediately started. funding trends and affordable housing and both were all through the u.s.d.a. u.s. department of agriculture and urban through housing and urban development and

because we wanted to look at it we know the shelter system started in the late 82 early 83 and by mid 1983 was across the country by 1987 the federal government had passed almost as a major program of their. what the hell happened right before that. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we've seen very sharp increase in the number. or of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the governments.
