8:30 am
the world doing the same damn thing. it's like watching the high school all over again. i believe in creating awareness about homeless because if we don't pay attention to it, it's going to overwhelm the population. and when that happens, where's the money going to come from? seriously we're, we're, we're, we're ready is what 70000000000 or something like that. missing money are democracies falling apart and we're worried about small things and what we should be worried about, the bigger problems that are right in front of our faces. instead of turning a blind item, the love was somewhere around $80000.00 people that are an house. here's the problem that be now house me coming different forms because there are some people that are living in your cars.
8:31 am
there are some people that are pretty much going from one living room to another living room, wherever they people are allowed, you know, friends, we allow them to come in and, and have a roof over their heads on a temporary basis. but then you also have people that live on the streets, sharing los angeles right now there's, there's a, as we speak, we have a homeless out being done right now. the counting, how many on house before leaving on the streets. so we don't have that the exact numbers yet, but he's going to be high. the numbers have increase from last year, even though that more is being done. or at least that's what being told. to the point that the numbers just last year alone. the amount of all homeless rose by 12 percent in california is the rent is to get the rent is too damn high. the rent is yep. hi um
8:32 am
how the, the um the, the the, the, the, the. 8 so we turned in over a 115000 signatures to get it in. if it is on the ballot to expand. rent controlled that to be on the california ballot in november of 2024. and the apartment association is trying to its opposing this and trying to stop in trying to stop us. we also deliver it over $732000.00 signatures to the governor of california. governor newsome asking him not to oppose this measure. so what they're, what the california apartment association is doing is they're trying to put in initiative, i'm with valley, which basically says that
8:33 am
a top tips on the same to not put their own initiative on the ballot to expand rent controls or anything around housing. so they're hurting tenants, and also a chart cost clinics in $45.00 different countries across the world. and they're trying to strip into something non profit simply because they don't want to bring to the my name is gina. i am a small mom landlord and i always have a bit of an issue when they're calling landlords of lead. you don't here are side of the story. i have a very little money. i have a mortgage homeowners insurance, and they wouldn't be an and i couldn't even barely last 4 years. i couldn't raise it $5.00, but yet i had taxes to pay. i had insurance to pay. i had maintenance to keep us
8:34 am
and i'll just pay them. wow. wow, as of dollars to move out, if not there, where is our side of the section? they should be mad at the government and to the government to pay their rent. why should i have to take care of somebody take care of you care, complain at the grocery store complained that your medicine is, why is it just the landlord by me landlord. so i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know, a couple units. they're worried as well because with a high risk go up with corporate driving the the rates are to keep up with it. so it's affecting them as well. but the fact of the matter is that the ones that are controlling and pushing pull the high range are the corporate land.
8:35 am
unfortunately, the fix the small business as the effect, the small landlords. so we're to let them know that, you know, if we bring rent controlled to california, it's a positive thing moving forward because they're going to be able to not being terminated by corporate landlords that want to take their properties as well. the housing rates are going to keep going up, like if you go to a gas station and buy budweiser and the price goes up a dollar every day, just because, like somebody steals too much budweiser from that store. you know, that's just the way that it goes, you know, and originally they raise a price up of things and places where it goes missing all the time to cover it. that's probably why the rent is getting so high because half the people who live there never pay the rent. somehow. somehow. i feel like criminals run the city. i really do. my name's walk in mother the golf. i'm 51 years old. i'll be $52.00 and april and uh,
8:36 am
been homeless off and on. uh since 2006 and where do you live right here in this truck? so why is it so weight? oh, well, there really isn't a way to get to on top of things. what the economy just deteriorating is it, is there's not a way for the way just to catch up up to what the prices are for for rent a person is trying to get to it. maybe you have a studio apartment here in this area is going to be at least $1500.00 a month. and even with some help 1st for move in. i mean it's, it's a little bit, uh, it's a little, there's a little bit more to it than just uh, you know, making a decision. uh, because the economy is it fits in the gates a lot of people's efforts the, i mean, yeah, don't get me wrong. i don't look like i'm alone. serious and i got this. no telling

8:39 am
thank you. hi, my name is mailed to the correct number, co founder and executive director of the shower of holt. and like the name says, we provide mobile show us to people who are experiencing homeless fuzzy in los angeles. and what we do is we take them to mobile, show us, like you'll see over here the various different locations. we have approximately 50 sites in los angeles. we pocket in locations where it's close to folks like experiencing homeless us. and we offer jet them showers even for what the city like los angeles, that's very little public infrastructure. when it comes for you to use public. chavo let lona that through. so fall off the full so sleep on our streets. it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas they to which coffee shop. so let them
8:40 am
just let use the bad throw. but when he comes to show us a lot of our guess, if it wasn't for us only have access to shot was maybe once a month for a lot of folks. it's going into a bathroom at a place like a coffee shop and taking a but bad out of a sink. so that's why it's so critical and, and that's so much the man for our services now, does it to you? oh, it's good. there's always going to get a 100, a 100 down the half hours. yeah. yeah. it's always good to get a hot challenge homeless that my god to apply for a shower to you. yes, i did get a break shower the differences, economic differences between groups, race groups, particular are huge. and these starts on the very beginning, their lack of, uh, being able to have a good education. let's talk about, let's say for example,
8:41 am
put in security is, is lack of access to healthy, put lack of access to flu. and a lot of our communities of color don't have access to healthy food. they just don't. so you see those, this bear with me right? there that any quality whereas you go to well do, neighborhood, or neighborhoods of, of, of white folks. you'll see that they are, they have better jobs, better paying their more resources. so yes, a racism a place that very important part on the economic status. whether you're going to end up homeless on the street or not. this is known as the mcarthur park union district of los angeles. there's one the most under served communities in los angeles. i love the immigrants are here. most of them don't speak english. we have here and you can see a lot of seniors and we have people that, that struggle to put food in the tables. and people have very little resources.
8:42 am
most of them actually want for, for several blocks here to, to come to the band 3. and a lot of them are very fragile. they hills are me. so this is a 9 o'clock we what we have done is we set up an appointment system. so people can actually sign up and, and have an appointment instead of them being in line for hours. what's happening is that before prior to we having an appointment system, people used to be here at 12 midnight. i literally spend the night here waiting for us to open. so we decided to do an appointment system. today we're going to be providing groceries for $400.00 people. these are fresh vegetables, they would pick yesterday, so you're not gonna make buying any any fresh or uh, products on here. and they do serve the people they serve it and i'd say we're very excited about being able to, to serve the community. what we do here is we set it up like farmers, market styles, so people are able to come here and actually pick what they like to,
8:43 am
to take instead of giving you a bag of food the most likely you're not going to like we allowed them to make several choices here. i'm take food that they love to cook. oh, what i would show seemed wrong. just don't you have to shape house after kids and engagement because the trails when so many find themselves worlds of parts, we choose to look for common ground. the a fix here, this thing is not a sufficient, especially probably mobile device to put you to junior consumption chest the want of this to the
8:44 am
machine you want to grow. and can you pick what i chose prestone? could you tell them by somebody the newsletter, to sign up for the to, to come out us to be able to talk with both of them. don't know if you don't have to deal with the assessment a dark stiffening session problems. cordova within the, the, the, the
8:45 am
homeless. his home is a rear. i have an $805.00 is only about $0.50 a month. right. what am enjoy old a? 6262. you've been homeless for a while. continue for many years. see 10 years. so i'm just gonna go right ahead and poke. you have to pray that hey, fish a deal. where am i right here to help with only getting some really low version you the, the got continues to grow. you know,
8:46 am
we saw back in the eighty's and ninety's the early, the early part of the century here, where we saw an attack against the middle class. there is the more middle class, either you'll have what you don't have. so to say that you're in the middle class is a fantasy because the that they exist, we have people coming to our food banks that have jobs and some of them have good jobs, but they can not make ends meet the fuel. cause we're right now. we'll go through it. one is the last. i lose all of the house and i do i have i just leave my house trying to boom. boom. can you say? yeah. can you see the home put it on on the 1st
8:47 am
8:48 am
you. enjoy that. thank you so much lady. do leave here. i do. i do this is not heroin. that's a i went to a doctor this morning. why did you come from effect? you work with interior design or the was it worth coming here? yeah. hard and i are able to see of the flight to afford a place here. not many people can went to work to do like if you were not able to
8:49 am
afford senior partners like what to do in the city and you're looking at it. yeah, i mean, possibly people could die on the beach. people gets sick, they get diseases and mental illness insecurity. the numbers are staggering. we have approximately 10000000 people in california that are risk of becoming on house. and part of the reason is because the rates are just very high. people struggle to make ends meet. some people are working to 3 jobs and still not enough because of the cost of living also has increase the think $3500.00 for one bedroom. it was way across the street apartment. yeah, they just, they just billed and they just opened them up. and for one bedroom, the $13500.00. that's what we have to deal with. so the data takes everybody along here, the whole community and all the prices go up with. they have people like that building
8:50 am
these things up. but why then does it work to be here? if you're not able to afford the living, right? there is people, they can't co habits, he can't get along so they can't. well, the next coming up relation apparently can live with 10 people into an apartment in california. and people have to live with a lot of people. so there's a lot of problems familiar, sexual assault on this thing of problems. so they said it's a, he se, se, se thing, but i, we show them physical evidence of him doing that. i even have a text message from me and my roommate talking, speaking about how he threatened her life. i gave patch the text messages i gave
8:51 am
a. why do you to text them is, do you already exist in the shelves? are you thinking about this? well that was the right thing. one of the houses where they are 4 people die room, so nearby job is the same way we met them there. they're still there. what do you know possible since last week? um um and gave kelly. i think her name the day or the give her um what is the the, the not 9. okay. not a good thing. have you guys seem to be fine. it's about time after one for 6 people didn't already know they weren't in on. yeah. yeah. i know i really don't know and, and then people go up missing and they don't even try to sit in see nothing about it. you remember the model one with the rabbit she have with miss and, and i was like, oh,
8:52 am
she had went to the hospital or with the jail as you folks come back. and nobody knew where she was in need of them line. they found her date space and not too far from the shelter. so how you doing? they don't care about where about nothing. all the program i'm going to program and sought to plus is little bit like says today and that way. so let's say do 1520 percent of what your income is that by your rent, up in the 30 a month. what is your, your income, you, or is that stipulated as soon as i have some time to try to move out. most people in my apartment, i do a medicine pratt and then more and more people become there's no, there's none of the coal there's and then still by dividing doesn't making better as the governor. so the
8:53 am
level to lower the rent. we know that the numbers are high and there's a lot of money that comes in, but the money is blown away and varies. we see very little come out over that. you know, so they spend a lot of money. you mean government government? yes. they spend a lot of money and the labor very little rent has just really taken off the, the restrictions on how to rent have changed. they want you to have a deposit of, you know, same was sometimes what you put 3 months down or prove you can pay 3 months when you do, you know these, these are things that a lot of people wouldn't qualify for with good jobs. so they made it so hard that a person with a pretty well paying job, couldn't cutting right here. and there was a time, i mean, it was a while ago,
8:54 am
253 years ago. you could be a starving artist here in and have a pretty fun life. it wasn't. maybe you wouldn't have a big savings account, but you would have a safe place to live. you would have food, you would have a car. but now people are choosing, and we're talking about people with 40 hour week jobs are choosing to buy groceries or pay their rents. and we're talking single people. i can't imagine having a family what that would entail. so it wasn't always this unapproachable to live. here was actually quite the opposite for a long time. the guys from just holly where i get some of the money, the says 50 k and 1000000 looks like like guys 1000000 a year. the
8:55 am
zillow baby for me. i'll be looking for low risk. our movies because people come out here for a dream says their dream. i would say i am rich for me. i'm, i'm, i'm on my way to be rich next year. i'm a buy a $1000000.00 house to me. and i'm, i'm working on manifesting that. i met of as women, if there's a right now already body for me, i'll look at it. i visualize it. i know the address. i mean that's what it weighs about. i mean, when you see the houses, you'll see me and it is lend his house for me. welcome to welcome to hollywood local. now i welcome the welcome to dreamland for james. come through the,
8:56 am
i mean, no, honestly, it's probably hard to live over. it is hard, it's hard to drive down the street and see this, and i think people are either going to be propelled, to have empathy and do something, or possibly just shut down. it's hard, hard to go in every area, every neighborhood, everywhere, and seeing and countless play not feel even just guilty. you know that you're walking into a supermarket and you can buy your food or you can do it and you can live. you have a home, you know, the, there's no kindness in any city or say, in regards to, even in places that we deem liberal. you know, california is not very liberal about this. you know, they're not as compassionate as people think about the sense the subject
8:57 am
looks good to go. no, i'm good. thank you sir. but you people are always people good or for not like the room. right? the all depends on the day. how can fit in going to look bad in kenner? wanted to do a dinner, isn't the dinner we're through so there is different factors that may affect our seniors. and most important is, is that the safety needs that existed, they being taken away. so he's very difficult, i know people that have retire with the kind of retirement checks that they're
8:58 am
getting cannot keep up with a cause of rent. so now they living in their carts after working all their lights. and yes, they are certain programs available that was subsidized for some of the housing. but not everybody gets it. this is why people i sold these harden and they have no faith in the government because the government has stopped working for the people. the amount of people that are more discussed with politicians and politics and political parties has grown in huge numbers. people just don't trust what they say . they say a lot, but the labor very little or nothing. the donald trump's return to the white house is world historic. by any measure,
8:59 am
the 47th president has the advantage of being the 45th. on top of that, he won the popular vote. he has amended. what does he have in store for us? in 1941 with the nazis health relation, ultra nationalists, the astonishes the claim, the independent state of croatia. shortly on the seizing pallet, they billed the scene of us concentration camp, a place associated with the worst atrocities committed in yugoslavia during we'll go to use dash is used to come system to isolate and exterminate subs, roma, jews, and other non catholic minorities and political opponents. of the fascist regime conditions in the san of us come with her renders the gods to which it to arise and the prisoners they send them the constitution temps. so most of them died. it was incredible genocide.
9:00 am
