repeatedly and even in many cases this house is long said to get the lid or patience because of that be denied access to emergency available services. now it's an issue getting bigger by the year with multiple administrations failing to make a dent in the academic of homelessness. in the us, it is particularly acute in los angeles. on next our documentary team mosques. what's the solution to the city raising number of those, living on the street, the the, the

the, i mean everyone is chasing the same dream. everyone is doing the same thing. having

to get a job, making it rich savvy money that, that, that who's the most popular person in the world know body 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 gonna 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 you 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 but because there's some people that aren't even here, cars, 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, hearing los angeles right now there's, there's a, as we speak, we have a homeless own being done right now. the counting hominy on the house before leaving on the streets. so we don't have the exact numbers yet, but it's going to be high. the numbers have increased from last year,

even though that more is being done. or at least that's what being told to the point that the numbers chest last year alone. the amount of all homeless rose by 12 percent in california right is the rent is to get the rent is damn high, the rent is too damn high the the, the, the, the rent, the, the. 8 so we turned in over a 115000 signatures to get it the initiative on the ballot to expand control that to be on the california ballot in november of 2024. and the apartment association is trying to its opposing that issue and trying to stop in trying to

stop us. we also delivered over 732000 signatures to the governor of california, governor newsome asking him not to oppose this measure. the transitional people. so what they're, what the california apartment association is doing is they're trying to put in initiative. i'm a valley, which it says that a childcare foundation cannot put their own initiative on the ballot to expand rent controls or anything around the housing. so they're hurting tenants. and also a job cost clinics in $45.00 different countries across the world. and they're trying to show something non profit simply because they don't want rent control the. my name is gina. i am a small mom landlord and i always have

a bit of an issue when they're call me landlords. agreed. you don't hear our side of the story. i have changed very little money. i have a mortgage homeowners insurance and they wouldn't be and, and i couldn't even barely last for 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 up and i just paid them. wow, wow, sense of dollars to move out. it's not there. where is our side of the protection? they should be mad at the government and to the government to pay their rent. why should i have to take care of them? 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 up 6 are to keep up with it . so these affecting them as well. but the fact of the matter is that the ones that are controlling and pushing pull the hiring is, are the preferred land. 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 like corporate landlords don't 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 is 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 in places where it goes missing all the time to cover it.

that's probably the way rent is getting so high because half the people who live there never pay the rent. somehow. somehow, i feel like criminal is running a sitting. i really do. my name's walk in mother golf. i'm 51 years old. i'll be 52 in april and been homeless off and on us since 2006 and where do you live? right here in this truck? so why is it so why? oh, well, there really isn't a way to get to on top of things, but the economy just deteriorating as it is. there's not a way for the way just to catch up to what the prices are for, for rent a person is trying to get to. and maybe even 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 and 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. i the seriously got this. no salvage lines i get on through the disease like a $180.00 low, like here and i just on does it look like i need to be honest, honestly know what the cost of living out this month for some of them. uh yeah. no matter if your worker 40 r o job arrow week job, you know me. if i have to know anybody out there and get all of these histories on them. so we, i've been out here in california in hollywood for probably about 10 years, about 10 years, and i have yet to do it. and i've been on the list to get housing for like 3 years

. i've got a crew, i've got a criminal background. and then i've got a very expensive criminal background look at 19 fillings. i'm over at the new, i'm not trying to. i mean these for you, there's not i can't get any decent things up. so i'm just trying to get, i'm trying to get funding, get a job with metro right now. just doing the investment or thing that they got going around. i can't get my foot in the door for this shit. the same life is coming. a girl we don't, we don't hear from you might, you might be a, might be around, you know, no, you have a bigger one is that we can use making a wireless but he said he was at the end of the low. you go, what do you do full leaving? oh, do. i'm going to some go to school. i go to lumpy city college for the study. i'm

going for film and the screen writing. i'm trying to get a degree and screen writing and uh the one to develop my own, my own screen place for production. i have good work, a wondering award for my spring play. in 22 for one screen play that i wrote in 2021 from penn america. i and i'm trying to do something the skills and talents that i have for screen writing the chance. thank you. hi, my name is mailed to the correct number cool. found an executive director of the shower full and like the name says we provide mobile show us to people who are experiencing homeless those same in los angeles. and what we do is we take these mobile shows, they can 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 homelessness. and we offer gen them shot was even for what the city like los angeles, that's very little public infrastructure. when he comes for you to use public chavo lelona that through. so fall on. if the full so sleep on our streets, it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which coffee shop will let them just look, use the bathroom. but when it comes to show us a lot of, i 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 buzz back out of a sink. so that's why it's so critical and, and that's so much the man for our services. how does it to you? oh, it's good. it's always good to go. i got a hutch down the half hours. okay. yeah, it's always good to get a hot challenge homeless that my god apply for

a shower to yes, i'd be a good 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, a good education. let's talk about, let's say for example, food in security is, is lack of access to healthy, put, lack of access to food. 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, a 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 i. immigrants are here. most of them don't speak english. we have a here you can see a lot of seniors and we have people that struggle to put in the table. and people have very little resources. 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 elderly. 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 going to find any, any fresh or uh, products done here. and they do serve the people who 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 style. so people are able to come here and actually take what they like to take instead of us giving you a bag of food the most likely you're not going to like we allowed them to make several choices here and take food that they love to cook, cover dina, both, are you a risk taking notes in this region? what do you need physicians of the people? this is the, as the bodies in gorgeous, to join us to find out how the rich local coal just size see the flows for us and sentences that have been passed down from generation to generation. the

homeless. his home is a, we have a problem. it's only about $0.50 a month right for him enjoy. holding for 6262. even homeless for a while. that's in you for many years. see 10 years. so i'm just gonna go right ahead and popo see i have to pay the federal debt. where am i right here to help with only getting some really low version you the the gap continues to grow. you know, we saw back in the eighty's and ninety's the early, the early part of

a 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 he doesn't exist. we have people coming to our food banks that have jobs, and some of them have good jobs, but they cannot make ends meet 440443. 1 is the last no how can i do i, i just leave my hands. chargeable to know who to you

know. hi tom, this is where do i bring today? that bad day tomorrow. right. man, that he yeah. the i, i want to can you hold on a 2nd the

right 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 a fire to work the interior design or the was it worth coming? yeah, they're hard or you're able to see all the flight to afford a place here. not many people can do what to do. like if you are not able to afford your partner, like what to do in their security or looking at it. yeah,

i mean possibly people could die on the beach. people get 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 working to 3 jobs and still not enough because the cost of living also has increase. for let's say $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 dining affects everybody around here, the whole community and all the prices go up with they have people like that

feeling in this thing. so but why then does it work to be, sir? if you're not able to afford the leaving the right there to this people, they can't co habits, he can't get a long 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 the finger problems. so they said it's a, he's saying the same thing, but we showed him 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

the body to text messages that you had already exists 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, but it up was the boss last week um um and gave kelly. i think her name of the day or the give her um what is that the uh, the not, not, not a good thing. have you guys seem to be fine 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 had when missed and then they was like, oh, 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 face and you're not too far from the shelter. so how you didn't they don't care about all where about the all the program i'm gonna have programming jobs. sorts of less is little bit like service today and that way. so let's say do 1520 percent of what your income is. that's why you read up in the 30 a month. what is your, your income? you as soon as that, as soon as i have time, i'm so tired of move out. most people in my apartment, i do a met and crack are there more and more people become seamless though they see none of the co bags and then they'll by dividing, doesn't making better as the governor. so the 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. there's been a lot of money and the labor very little rent has just really taken off the restrictions on how to rent have changed. they want you to have a deposit of, you know, same with sometimes what you put 3 months down or prove you can pay 3 months when you, 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, couldn't rent here. and there was a time, i mean, it was a while ago, 253 years ago. you could be a starving artist here and, 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 here without food. you would have a car, but now colored shoes. and we're talking about people has 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 come to hollywood, get some of the money. this is 50 k and 1000000 looks like work guys. $1000000.00 a year. the

sell a baby. tell me you're looking for low read our movies because people come out here fall. a dream says the 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 manifest man. i made it as a limit of as 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 to welcome to dreamland for james. come through the

i know 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 inches shut down. its 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 state in regards even in places that we deem liberal. you know, california is not very liberal about this. now, they're not as compassionate as people. think about the steps the subject

looks good and then for the now i would think so, but the people i always people good or for not much room. right. so it depends on the day how it is going to look bad in kenner. wanted to do a dinner isn't center we're through so there is different factors that may affect our seniors. and most important is is that the safety nets 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 getting cannot keep up with

a cause of rent. so now they living in their carts after working all their lights and and yes they are. certain programs are 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 that 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 to 47th, the president has the advantage of being the 45th. on top of that,

he won the popular vote, the house amended. what does he have in store for? the just days off to the headmaster, israel ceasefire brought a brief sense of relief. the west, the bank is now one choir incidents on my claim. israel self labeled counter terrorism operation continues in the westberg without the least 10 people killed since tuesday. also add on the program, new us president donald trump threatens russia with economic repercussions to in the ukraine conflict. softer feeling to me to his own play, just to end the crisis in 24 hours to meet and trump sections blocked me. a lot of sorts. we question if the move will have any real impact on russia's economy, my lunch will turn over between my.
