to 40 families at the height of the lockdown we had reached $5000.00. we now feeding so many people we can hardly cope we have a new base in southeast london called cas place to actually monitor. a buddy system without volunteers because of kovi we have volunteers to households so each household instead of getting a stranger doing an individual delivery we have the same posts and delivers and calls on the family every week but helps with mental health it keeps everybody safe so we'll call it a unique us approach it with the only project like it in. a what we're trying to do is actually globalized to such extent what we're doing here in every country around the world to use our model to help empower communities to tackle it it's not something that we can just depend anymore on our government our government around the world are all tied up with the pandemic trying to get people siphoned stop people dying letting people go hungry is not

a priority and so we as people and we as communities need to take back power and politicize it in a way but we can a raja kate the problems and show that people in our communities are not starving to death because even in britain and the government hates to admit it but we have seen in great britain people found starved to death in great britain in 29 at least 2 families well reported were found dead to starvation and how many of the families are going through but we are not told about or are not in the collated statistics at the moment so it's a huge issue it's a global issue and i government is playing politics it's a government that's fighting to address the issue and all of our political class in britain is actually facing the people it should be people like me are not political i'm just a good neighbor helping my community because my council and my government is fading those most in need in the end of the day every government has to care. jussi to

protect the welfare of its people that's why they're elected to defend the welfare of the people and yet your reality is the only people doing well or of this pandemic all the friends of the mates of the tory ministers yeah i re will fight the author. on the founder of the largest independent food bank in the u.k. thank you very much for your time thank you i think you very much for joining us are not international we're back at the top of the hour with the latest. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

you shot let's do it it's c'mon there. most bought 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 to get you know at this age and you can't do that at 1st all those s.r.o. single room occupancy units they're gone if you came 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 businesses it. 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.

scope so he's going to rip syrup in downtown it's. oh. yeah we did not work at all here you've already. made a. pretty good movie. with my 6 plank you see. if you go along this is all you know because this is a go i'm going on. i'm not even if you get there do you know. there's a process that you think is the right. ha ha ha ha. ha ha ha

i am just with. this in the out of the plant i don't need to be. a lot though i don't need to be like oh i will write one is that i choose i have no rights is that right was not given to me by me. and seem to. have everything. done right now and for this. how to stop if you want the right so how does it not. even make an island out of the you cannot even get a decent clothes. on

a new look commuter from all over. think how the kind of a light. sometimes. it's going to get out of a light. cloud by a man as kind of like a school you go blank that's it's all blank as does my coat. i mean it's been winner 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 man.

is there such a thing as public opinion anymore after all after 2 elections like this in a row data has been largely imperfect is there is more than just one public and are there good reasons not to trust the. first night i was almost. that was a scary. person . because. i didn't have to show up with carter hanging kilts right i was like ok.

there's all kinds of scary people you know or. 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 in. dumb in the middle of the block down there you got bugs. rog just. what do you. any worse thing you didn't. know you'd. seen it watched it. in 830. i was a girl stabbed. it was on the news. right there i would like. you know i've seen it norton.

and right next to it everything else. needs to get guys in the drunk tank. to see we have here is right through you know. they're all gone. past when the free. 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 and can see out of tree fall. is cut down a tree last thing he remembered was the tree hitting the ground so he got parallel . he died i was in prison he died. to.

my mom she died 6 of double pneumonia in 2005. but 2 thank you lord for him a friend says he holds near every day and i love you brother. thank you for helping me thank you for being months ahead. 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. one family back. to my grandmother. or have it that. he wanted you know what i just looked. back you may be right don't pray don't.

fly here everything. i didn't mean but. i know you're not dude i know if. you wanted to know. so i said that. magic. and we've done has 0. 0 has. told. me if you want to know what the right. or court did you should know this know huma fus says nothing because the affairs of a sad life is

a graphic view of the human body in the psychological sense especially to people that are before deprived early will then create conditions for themselves that will keep the definition going. because the way to cope with emotion the variation for reason. might be a crown maybe to be get very hostile. or if you are stout you're going to be rejected. and that's going to reinforce your sense of being rejected in the 1st place. for you my to deal with the pain that some bear will turn to addictions and all the additions are always about pain and my mantra is not why the addiction but why the pain and i'm sure that that's true physiology psychologically spiritually. so then people started engaging additions as a way of dealing with their pain or that addiction with their 1st true that i state that. because failure is going to be with an addict the reason of the so very difficult and painful to do so but for the addict is reinforces that i'm all alone

in the reader for me and which makes them further. inclined to engage in addictive behavior to soothe that pain a sex trade worker a 27 year old said to me when i asked her what heroin did for her she said the 1st and i did heroin it felt like a war so. i was just saying she experience the sense of love and connection which is what the endorphins do in the brain. and they die and detox a few years ago 6 was something muscles tattoo scars earing everything but if i was walking towards me in an alley i'd run the other way when i asked him whether they're into for you and he said i don't tell you this dog was like when you're 3 years old and you're shaving because you're sick as a kid and your mother wraps you know one blanket put you in her lap and you just don't want chicken soup that's what their own feeling. is starting with love. now then you ask why can't people give it up they can't give it up because the only way

they found that they can have pain relief and i have 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 pull up a chair right there is day in. there well it. surprised

not coming here we have a lot of that. the arch facility is what we call a low demand shelter there. demand is that we don't ask you to do anything it's just that they can and it will walk through the door other than their security behavior guidelines for us the definition of loaded been sheltering fluids that we're not requiring any or to is a should in a program or service in order to be in the building there's not going to be a requirement for you to be sober to be in the building you can come in 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 for this is our dormitory for here at the arch we were originally. instructed on this property is a 100 bed facility 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 night 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 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 some 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. in 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 to different and i think that's one of the things that we as a community have got to address is. the systemic generalization. for regeneration people walking through our doors sometimes during the day is just something we've got to get. 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 really the solution. 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 bandaid 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 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 we know the shelter system started in the late eighty's early 83 and by mid 1983 was across the country in 1907 the federal government had passed almost as a major program of their. what happened right before that.
