one of the points that we really felt was important to get across when you're talking about. 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 just a living up to the responsibilities of the federal government to people have a clean safe and place to live that's not important that's not. george herbert walker bush. was a. little water bush. hussein obama do solemnly swear donald donald trump do you solemnly swear. the word of the general wages. were. in class and poor people stayed constant or declined since the late seventy's
6:36 am
. the numbers of people who need housing and grow because of the growth of the population the supply is not up to it 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. 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 full of uses.

and order for us to get. and be right back to society as incompetent as you tried it with this issue scott on. a fundamental right having food and fish. i think anybody care. take a look at the universal declaration of human rights. as the peoples of the united nations have in their charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights in the dignity and worth of the human person and in equal rights. to education especially to any. sources and to. get money.

jail a homeless person is san francisco a 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 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 get me having.

6:44 am
a prophet and you must see your mother right at the core of them but the world will use most of them to stay do it in you most of those like you want to make you post the most of them there will still post when you want them you want them for a sham don't you look all the money. we have the bush the stooges like god that we . will get that in the us those days i need some of what they did that would know more than the buddhists.
6:45 am
were you know i find myself today i know i don't look it but i found myself in a home state and you know my 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 live i don't know so instead of these us asking us and therefore i need to be still and be alright with our claim i'm a slave i know i'm not out there doing things it's going to cost me my home that makes me you know and i don't understand how a calling you want to jar in my mind on whatever. i want. i have a chance. to when i 1st got out i was actually attacked by a guy from behind in their lane he hit me in the face and actually choked me around my neck or survivorman. there they were in december 13th i was hit in the head with a rock from a high and they actually caught that guy a couple of days later still we i actually in the go into
6:46 am
a seizure due to that and. he was going to his spot was a little bit come back and check off on me because i was laying out here by the arch. it's known as a body 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 promises i mean everybody's hard breaks for their children 1st of all and rightly so and there is the veteran and then there is the mentally ill. you would do is assess pacific population only women that are having there is specific needs to a week long to use and 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
6:47 am
for a place for women to. tell all of gotos to not walk in the street a lot at night in a dark neighborhood that's the sort of imagine that you have no work to go. or nowhere to hide when something. or were. were. in the us is being told in a clumsy good way to figure out which song to beat your on is with your company planes on h.b.o. to. me shit like bush 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
6:48 am
$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 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 the brace that but the problem is they never indexed to do anything so they just keep picking this number out of the year and those halves 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
6:49 am
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 aus omes believes in us and the 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. 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. we view them as. this
6:50 am
old as a group that falls 'd into $22.00 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 expense right now the government uses the concept of one size fits all. so they keep doing it's like 7 report 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
6:51 am
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 it's a very soft mork approach to our nation is made of a 1000. because it's so nice you know we devise. a single national formula based on existing government guidelines.
6:53 am
6:54 am
honest. you will lose your money. so here the road home we have a family show for women shelter in 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 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 or stay with family or stay with friends or stay in a hotel. but
6:55 am
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's. you know they have the 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
6:56 am
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 your 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 having a kid a child with special abilities you kind of. you don't really get much 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 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
6:57 am
it's a single mom and 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 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. 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
6:58 am
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 the room. is there such a thing as public opinion anymore after all after 2 elections like this sort of data has been largely imperfect is there's more than just one public and good reasons not to trust the polls. problem drugs has come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every
6:59 am
state in the united states we seen the very sharp increase in the number 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 of.
7:00 am
