the strength affected. sure. maybe. our. word was open right now behind us is one of the city's biggest homeless camps and it stretches per blogs on this warehouse district as you can see the government figures more than a 1000000 school aged children are home less number of homeless families world and

suburban u.s. has risen by 60 percent. while most at trains are now women about 10 percent according to the v.a. but most long term housing is designed for that and that's why some volunteers are making a difference helping women veterans and their families. in the current old time if you want a real purity to be a war fighter or any you have experienced some pretty cold nights out here but the navy is no one of the tough talking low. almost average 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 know about to see is turn respectable just mentally disturbed homeless man illegally camping in the hills of 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 how ill be. or on the street it was like going to a 3rd world country. and this is a map that shows you the foreclosures initiated and over the last 2 years every single one has for a. good word about you know it's pretty well that i do know the name of the person archer hey guys she was assaulted last tuesday she 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.

'd people people still in 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. 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 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 to get you know at this age and you can't do that 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 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 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 not work at all that you've already. made a. pretty good movie. but my 6 point you could see. if you'd go along isn't all you know because this is you know i'm going to. i'm not even if you believe 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. that's. ok. guys you know if you all morning that you have a lawful order to handle these. guys start. trouble we're going to take

lawson it's a number of years and all of these weeks we're going to idea everybody that's here ok because you guys are all in violation of the law for well regular violations until every bad law already pays advance and leaves to. morrow you know because you know. right you know i have a right to go out just watch. and it's not what i don't understand really is as a veteran you have more opportunities to get housing does not the point where you know that you know you don't try to come down. to down so you've been born so. just because. that's in the out of the i don't need to be. a lot of no i don't need to be like oh i will write. i choose

it's close to. the cloud man the man has kind of like a school you go blank that's it's all blank as does my coat. i mean it's been winner dude it's been 3 i freeze to death and. i came close once the 1st storm that came through.

today the industry pieces in the state millions of you will you know the 2 daily conditions i will be sniffy all about making money making profits in some of the big corporations international markets import export do you imagine the number of currently diseases that are out in every community today it is not due to new viruses or all new microbes that's not true so it is due to environment.

not going to say you know that moment all discipline or this sort of muscles i really just accumulate could only come in the day seemed to be. the plexus of the sky it's just the food industry is successful it will create more jobs it will create more value added it will create more growth so i don't see why we shouldn't also fight for the interest something in history except that we have regulation we want regulation i was in just a nice freedom behave zinnias penalty just fine. the 1st night i was almost. that was jerry. first. because.

i didn't have a shopping cart or any right i was like ok. there's all kinds of scary people out here. 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 here. it all me in the middle of the book down there you got bugs. ragas to. do. any worse thing you can. do you. seen it watched it in 830. i was a girl stabbed. it was on the news and.

like right there i would like. you know i'd seen it norton. and right next to it everything else. needs to get guys in the drunk tank of. tuesday we have heard right through you know. they're all gone. past where most are. my mom my father killed the cellphones 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 careless of them can set a tree fall on. it cut down a tree last thing he remembered when the tree hit the ground so he got parallel. he died i was in prison he died. to.

my mom she died of double pneumonia in 2005. but thank you lord for been my friend says he holds near every day and i love you brother. thank you for helping me thank you for being months ahead. you know 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 me and my grandmother. or have. you want to know what i just looked.

back you made me all right don't pray 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 word. and we've done has 0. 0 to. tell us what. you want to know what the right. course the addition of

this no human fus says nothing requires 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 recount maybe to get very hostile. if you are still 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 addictions 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 overnight it reasonably so it's very difficult and painful to do so but for the addict is being forces that i'm alone is not be there for me and which makes them further. inclined to engage in addictive behavior to suit that theme of 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 started. and she's 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 doc was like when you 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 that sense of connection. so homelessness in the chronically homeless may be seen as a coping mechanism. thank you sir now you say all of the charity there is day and. there really.

surprised not coming here we have a lot of that. the arts facility is what we call a low demand shelter their. 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 behavior guidelines for us the definition of loaded been sheltering fluids that we're not requiring any for to ation 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 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 rooms. in our overall population profile is a 35 to 45 year old caucasian male struggling with mental health

a 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 a different and i think that's one of the things that we as a community have got to address is. the systemic generalization. homelessness and 3 generations of 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 recognise the necessity of shelter but we do look at shelter as a band aid to the issue of almost not really the solution for almost his house if you've got limited housing opportunities you've got limited hopper to need to use 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 in both were all through the u.s.d.a. us 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 funding as a major program of their. what the hell happened right before that.

it under started the other coaches and other kinds of. precisely because it believed every word should be boccieri. direction. so it doesn't really feel the need to understand all the coach. this is one of the great problems the west faces now is that it just doesn't understand chuck and i can't make sense of john will cause you can't make sense of charlie if you don't have a bill that really studying it. with time running out will ensure that donald trump intervene and stop the persecution of julian assange also as this tumultuous year comes to an end we assessed the cost to average working people any quality just for getting worse.

and she sure movielink it goes it did just that in japanese and i thought you don't mind it just became is an under. the shambles all. the time you can look at the my face you know for how long to name a country not an established at the map. and you. have the economy to have more than a bunch of class stuff is that. the answer. will come down the muslims who go no cause not only in the last i'm going to call them back in the mascot who was around when i was going to use the term obama i don't know what i'm going to google. not what's going to become a monk point out of going to my homeland going to come up thinking i'm up to snuff she comes home to go tell me a single person i think i mean come on we have to get out of my mind you're going

to. god. thank. god. you're back up to. the top stories this week it's sort of real up. the u.s. state department was forewarned. about massive leaks of documents from calls now from washington to. the british prime ministers accused of canceling christmas in london it is a look down following the discovery of a highly infectious strain and while thousands flee the e.u. nations suspended travel from the u.k. . the daughter of iran's former military chief assassinated by the u.s. this year gives an emotional 1st interview to r.t. .
