But to the homeless hes one of the few struggling to get them off the streets i dont quit and i dont give up and i definitely dont bow down to bullies people need shelter now if i have to build a tiny house for every last person. Five hundred years old then thats what im going to do. Elvis is building his next house for a woman who brave. People that live. Ravens living under the top hole and next to a freeway. Ramp. Its on hygiene and far from safe. The situation much worse than when elvis last saw. Even his check of this is rare yeoman service. That. You. Could see. Ravens being on and off the streets most of your life but if you work so slow in that area yeah sure after fleeing a violent home when she was just thirteen years old. She once had a time but since the city forced most of the street shes been out here so you do not. Tired after getting the house i happened to do pretty well you know a pretty good life right at the time when it took over but it would be. Like a dream come true. Joy. Elvis is worried by the state of this communal camp and he leaves to buy raven a tent until he can build her a new tiny house so im going to tent and run to be back to you guys in a little while. Alone. Opens up about his situation. Its been a struggle. And. The city always kicks us out from your state itll stay clean those. Who want to costly move their stuff every day. Ravens out here because she feels image and see shelters are either overbooked or unsafe but city law was designed to move these camps on. And as a phone q she receives a visit. All right. Boys said we got to. Get a move on by saturday. I better. Tell the. Raven its given orders. Shes running out of places to go they want everybody downtown they were already one section. Its not going to happen were trying to get our branch out. Is going to get away from downtown they wired by downtown six downtown skid row. The worst place in history to be homeless downtown. If youre homeless and l. A. City laws to keep streets clear give you two choices. Keep moving. On the landscape grow. This is the only place that you can sit up a tent without the city forcing belief. But elvis is tiny homes arent allowed here. Skid row is. Unlike anything else in the united states. I call it the worst manmade disaster in the us hi. How are you. Doing ok. And details runs a pig in the Agency Shelter in the middle of skid row which would like to be seen the numbers of women seeking help in a trip home in just a year but you me get daedra place to meet you unless youve got pretty eyes. And hes on crutches because last year he lost a leg to the flesh eating bacteria that exist here. Still every day hes out inviting new arrivals to his shelter because he knows just how bad it gets more than two thousand people on the streets forty nine square blocks of skid row its the worst that weve ever seen aadhaar just a good idea you really need to look down that street theres not one open spot of cement sidewalk. Or ill be a half a mile down that way. Elvis is tiny houses designed as an option to avoid sleeping on skid row. Because he is the increasing numbers of women and children asleep in alongside drugs crime and the mentally ill. And police are the only source of protection such a pretty constant ending this day and night. By. The maintaining order here campus struck running with handcuffs. Commanders running with handcuffs through this fast. Spend one night every once in a while and streets and i cant sleep because its so dangerous and you just stay alert rats are running around running over people running in their trance and often people get beaten or assaulted or raped and that in effect can damage your health pretty quickly. So im all for tiny houses but there has to be Restroom Facilities and shower facilities because otherwise were putting people in treacherous Living Conditions just as if theyre living in a tent. And this is why and the shelter keeps an open door policy but hes struggling to keep up with demand. You see right here right across the city shelters are full up many have to turn people away the simple fact in l. A. Is theres just not enough shelters there are not enough beds forty seven thousand people experiencing almost this and there are about Twelve Thousand shelter beds or transitional housing beds even if people on the streets right now decided to come in theres nowhere to come in theres no place to go. With limited access to emergency shelters and low cost housing life on the streets in l. A. Is an endless game of cat and mouse. Because the city is charged with keeping the streets clean morning everybody this department of sanitation crew is about to move through the homeless encampments of skid row. Watch out watch out for Hazardous Materials watch out for human waste. Industrial operations like this happen daily across los angeles to keep the streets clear the homeless to be constantly on the move. We are here every day in skid row every street is clean once every two weeks so this cycle thats the big effort were doing. But i think its essential its essential to the cities. The cities the comic growth and also the citys image this team will put more than five tons in the gadgets truck today anything they deem to be unsanitary. Most of it will be rubbish but some of it will be peoples tents and the few positions. That. Youre in a ways ok. The city gives advance notice of the clean up but not everyone gets the message today that there are some unlucky ones not a pretty lady or ask them to live along. They like it because youre kidding i mean if you want a homeless person living on the street you want to live on if we sidewalk or people decide they see the value of us leaving. But the citys focus on keeping the streets clean means further instability when youre living on them. Its also one of the main reasons elvis is tiny houses a band playing to hampering operations like this. You know way its a tenth the suburban town on the street. So we can clean the area and if you avoid side its not a safe conditions to live it so we basically the city has made a determination that those should not be on the city streets. Apply for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. Football isnt only about what happens on the pitch to the final school its about the passion from the fans its the age of the super money kill you narrowness and spending shouldnt twenty million one player.

When your life is the size of a teen can be a powerful tool. Its almost delivery day and with the news that ravens pregnant elvis is adding a special finishing touch to her tiny house. So im ok with just a Little Something to help her feel better and you know help her feel like shes got a nice guy to look at elvis knows how important Little Details like this can be hes watched too many people lose hope on the streets since the city forced me to take houses away from people three people have died mainly due to being stuck out in the elements and not having anywhere to go so its its criminal. Picture smokey sitting in the doorway of her her tiny house one of the people who died was his close friend smokey who received the very first tiny house new years morning i found her dead in somebody elses tent not even her own because the city took that to.

The city has approved a multibillion dollar strategy to help homeless but it will take ten years to build hundred thousand new units which is. Officials refused to embrace elviss tiny for me a tiny house on a parking space is not a solution were are doing that this service to those individuals who stayed in these tiny homes without the out of but if a structure in place city council. Posed tiny houses in his district because of concerns from angry residents. Someone monitoring the site otherwise itll be a free for all itll be sex drugs and rocknroll and. They would absolutely have to have some rules and. See. If they are here why put these guys back with us and the city is clear and yet again this time even in christines camp right now that load open up there was a show. Thats considered a faulty item so its going. Almost in christines belongings taken by the department of sanitation that ravens not around so only christine is here to see it they say you know it well i mean do you get rock bottom.

I finally found a suitable location for ravens tiny house in a quiet area mostly industrial its not going to affect anybody. Elvis and raven hope the spot of downtown l. A. Away from skid row will be safe from the authorities. With already hes must continue to keep l. A. Streets clean days finally. For the tiny house to live free feeling very good by good very. Good data and life drama but its going through a lot of hardship so this tiny house its a person asked. After the week that shes had and everything shes gone through on top of the in fragments its more important now that she gets the house because i dont think she can go much longer with not getting any rest. You really feel if. I do. Think. I think. Im going to think that. Most things i do in life are out of principle. I was taught that somebody falls down you pick them back up. Thats what we should do a life. To remember that there ya go. You called me and said. You know people sit on the back porch and. Look at the stars they want looking up at you tired oh yeah i have to see you sit another good tired but the stars its got a magic. So i finally raven gets her own private space.
