because mentally disturbed homeless man illegally camping in the hills above albuquerque new mexico will soon fall victim to police. telling you that he might not and you are going 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 how they were 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. what about you know it's pretty. you know the name of the person urging her she was assaulted last tuesday so you may have some bones were broken ribs. it is estimated the poverty. rate for kids in this country will soon hit

muslims leave. and. not just before some of the families homes to go through with. this is my last stop here and i don't know what i would do if i don't get my bottom of them after all 'd. people people still in the belief that this is the land 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. to get dad's hammer. through and through your belt loop walk to 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

society but we know that if we can get the attention to 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. grew up here.

l. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such conflict with the 1st law should your identification for should be very careful about official intelligence and the point obesity is to create a trance. like on various shots and with artificial intelligence summoning the demon. the obama's protect its own existence as a excuse for. claiming this mom told him. he didn't work or saying. they don't love yes

or no mom is good but that isn't a moment oh i. not only managed. to. even get. his peers to interpret. who believe you know if i'm going to say. loss of a spear was mean surely when you read all of those lists nissho to show you just what that also is going to have. but some to publish or do you must draw or

a court of it in that you will quote them in the us want to quickly losing months alone. when you last and then you think that it's all profit and you must say you're not the right to call it on but there were all of us well most of them 'd to stay do it in your muscles like you want to post them also from there will still put it on your thumb rule of thumb for a child and not all the money. is like god that only goes with that honest i suppose it is. some of what they did that would know more than the buddhists. the 1st night i was almost. that was jerry. knowledge because. i didn't have

a job with carter thinking kilts right i was like oh ok. there's all kinds of scary people out 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. an arm in the middle of the book down there you've got bugs. rogers do you. where do you. any worse thing you didn't. know you'd. seen it watched it. in a hurry. i was a girl stabbed. it was on the news here i was right there i would like. you know i'd seen it norton.

and right next to it everything else. needs to get guys of the drunk tank. to see we have heard right through you know. they're all gone. past when the free. my mom my father killed the cell phones 5 story. there 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 careless of them can stay 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 imprisoned he died. to.

my mom she died 6 a double pneumonia in 2005. but 2. thank you lord for being my friend says he holds near again in the 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 what would you get. my family back. to my grandmother. or have. the one who you know i just looked. at my grandma back you may be all right surely don't. you.

don't. think. i didn't mean it but. i know you know i did i know it. and you wanted to know. so i said that. magic. has 0 and. you want to know what the right. course the addition of this know huma fus says nothing because the affairs of a sad life is

a graphic view of the human body in a psychological sense especially to people that are before deprived early. well then create conditions for themselves. keeping the provision going. because the way to cope with emotion that ration 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 the pain 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 1st. because center is going to deal with an addict reasonably so very difficult to do so but for the

addict is reinforces. i'm all alone in order for me which makes them further. inclined to engage in behavior to. a sex trade 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 and connection which is what the endorphins do in the brain. detox a few years ago. something muscles had to scars hearing everything that it 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 was like when you're 3 years old and you're sharing because you're sick as a kid and your mother actually no one blanket put you on her lap and she's 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 i've 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 had a lot of that. the arch facility is what we call a low demand shelter their 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 to is a should 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 all salvageable.

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 night versus the 100 beds that we were created with but 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 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. 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 regenerations 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 princess 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 homes is house if you've got limited housing opportunities you've got limited hopper to naji's 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.

and without housing report was we put it out in 2006 we formed rat. and made 2005 and immediately started why are they 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 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 fama. these 2 in every state in the united states we see the very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invited to 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 if your dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients don't use manufacturers or the government. because there is this huge gusher of money printing bedsteads coming out of the central banks and because tesla. has nothing working against it because it's not. producing anything like a tie you otoh are

a ford or some other company where you could look at the actual products in a meaningful context of the global economy and ascribe a value to it you can simply say that well we think that tesla has a meaning which just mostly imeem and monies that mean so we're going to make it worth $600000000000.00 today and it could be worth it could drop 90 percent tomorrow. will simple spiros mean sure when you read of those lists nissho to show you just what that also has been. but soak up the rich were doing more to draw. you will quit. using months alone. when you wash the belief that it's all profit in you masia another right at the core of the well with the morals of 'd the state do it and you must that those like you to post the most of the will still put

it on you with. a sham doing what all the money. is like i'm going to. go. it's. headlining this hour the u.s. food and drug administration reveals it's now probing 5 allergic reactions to the pfizer buy on tech vaccine including 3 alaska health workers. u.k. raises the alarm over a deadly new strain of covert 19 unveils drastic new restrictions across southeast england over the christmas period live reaction on the way the u.s. secretary of state blames russia for a cyber attack on government agencies although security officials admit they don't know who was behind the breach. at a leading british governor.
