You know if theres one homeless person in the street its a bit. You shouldnt have a civil. Society you know which people have to sleep on the street. I mean thats just. Government gives not the solution to our problem government is the problem. Will be our 1st priority usually donnellys presuppose there will be no compromise. One of the points that we really felt was important to get across when youre talking about cause and effect is priorities if nobodys making money on it its not a commodity then it has no value and it shouldnt it isnt a priority of the federal government so housing that was just some people. That was not a commodity that was just a ballet being up to the responsibilities of the federal government to instill or people have a clean d. C. From place to live thats not important anymore thats not i value. Your term for walker bush William Jefferson clinton who saw the walker bush dishonest drive ride to say obama do you solemnly swear i told you on trial do you solemnly swear. Or make sense for the work of the general wages of Living Standards of working class and poor people the city customs or declined since the late seventys. The numbers of people who need housing and grow because of their growth in the population the supply is not 0 to do it to nearly the same extent so somebody is going to get squeezed out and some of the most people the moment the people over the country have been squeezed out of the bottom. So now theres a new Public Housing so the shelter system is like a Public Housing because housing is not treated as even right in the title and which it should be the country is both is this one. And order for us to get. And be right back to society and Company Office to try to place all this shit scott on. A fundamental right like having food good finish. I can find a break chair its the. Take a look at the universal declaration of human rights. As the peoples of the United Nations have in the charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the writings and. Education thats just limited to any. One of my kind of being and its one. Consider. Just general right after the us. Universal declaration its explicit most. Of that there are 3 parts of this civic and political right. Sort of social and economic. And theres cultural. And theyre all or are. You us that doesnt just dismiss it as the Cultural Community in the rejects you know. Politicians have concluded that there is no answer because the answer requires resources i dont believe thats true i think that housing is the answer homelessness that you have to have Supportive Housing yet were not willing to prioritize that as siding in the crazy thing is that were paying for it anyway we jail a homeless person is San Francisco it cost 140. 00 a night and thats about what it costs and some ill fairly nice hotels outside of the city yet we insist on believing that criminalization of almost this is the answer that if we punish people for being homeless and being mentally ill that theyre going to cure themselves and be off the streets when in fact it just becomes a cycle.

When i 1st got out i was actually attacked by a guy from behind in their lane he hit me in the face and gnashing choked me around my neck or survivorman. There they were in december 13th i was hit in the head with a rock from a high and they actually caught that guy a couple of days later to a week i actually in the go into a seizure due to that and. He was going to his spot was a little bit come back and shut off on me because i was laying out here by they are. Its known as a body in the heat in in the year and its its more dangerous for women the world is more dangerous for women in that. They get lost in the in their. Overall tapestry of armistice i mean everybodys heart breaks for their children 1st of all and rightly so then there is the veteran and then there was the mentally ill. You were the resist specific population only women that are having there is specific needs to a we are going to do enough so you know we made it a priority and by that we pushed through in it any beds available to them or to listen to a year ago there were hardly any beds available for them and its an unsafe place for women to. Tell all of gotos to not walk in the street a lot at night in a dark neighborhood thats the sort of imagine that you have no work to go. Or know what i did when something. Or were. Were. In the us is being told in the quantity of a good way to figure out which song to beat your on is with your company planes and h. B. O. Also. You should like workers calling for a much higher minimum wage workers in mcdonalds wendys Dominos Pizza and more will want not the job getting. It will look at the federal d minimum wage as one created 938. 00 under the fair labor standards act ok which was in response to a 1000000 people wandering our nation looking for jobs it was the same and after the Depression Congress got together and started to say well we should set a standard that ensures that if somebody puts their 40 hours in a week they can afford the basics so. It makes sense and makes sense to me it makes sense to you so we take that in a brace that good the problem is they never index it anything so they just keep picking this number out of the year and those has of Congress Fight over debate over it and go do that and that and it made it back and forth and so. You know maybe get raised a dollar maybe its 0. 75 whatever so we sort of started this problem backwards you know we now have 3500000. 00 people experiencing homelessness in this nation and what we could tell that house the homeless. Theres tremendous efforts to try and deal with the fallout you know. Some more successful than others some different approaches like housing 1st get off the streets and then start dealing with them you know its one you know we believe that thats a new Organization Says 989 so you know thats approach we are. And i used to look at this population as. Who they are the veterans. Recently released people out of the penal system single women single women with children so this is abusers alcoholics. Really really all the different factions but now we stood back and looked at the folly of that approach and realize that in order to really deal with it in this society which is couples we view them as. This whole this group falls into 22 factions those who can work and those who cant work so we walk away with this way its 77 dollars in the quarter and d but i i live in america and anybody whos lived in america has traveled anybody whos traveled is travel to some place which is more expensive than where they came from and they travel some place with less expense right now the government uses the concept of one size fits all. So they keep doing its like 70 court for everybody so whether you lose in washington d. C. Or with the harley engine texas theyre going to set it to 7 decor right now theres talk of raising it to 10 dollars an hour well the day that adds pass to 10. 00 an hour thats the president s promoting for. Something to get one minimum wage homeless worker off the streets of washington d. C. At the same time that 10. 00 an hour wage is going to hurt Small Business and will america and make no mistake most of america is rule theyre trying to push around. Pig in the square and theyve been doing it over and over again and what happens is its a very soft mork approach to our nation is made of a 1000. So you know we devised. A Single National formula based on existing government guidelines. Thank you very are. Putting the load. To me here you can hear people talk and. That was how you. Oh you were going to do you. Think let me ringback see do you can help me with it. For everything you have that there. Are a little more. Here. We. Are more. So here their own home we have a family show for women shelter in them and shelter so one of the big fears that our families have when they come down from the shelter is that all of us are. Child and Family Services is going to be involved in their getting their kids away i mean work very closely with. C. P. S. We work really hard to reassure families that that thats not how it works their families are also subject to the whims of whether its economic instability or family instability or health problems. Family is run out of resources and theyre not able to stay in their apartment anymore or stay with family or stay with friends or stay in a hotel. A lot of times by the time the families that walk through those doors theyve exhausted all of those resources. How are you getting so wet child. Yes so we have this huge playground theres. You know they have the ramp for all of the kids in stuff like that and they still are still. They have this grassy area over here we try to keep the kids away from the gate just because of the semen on because this is the mens side of the shelter we are slide in the playground for the kids and stuff like that. Ive been on and off homelessness since having for the 1st 6 months of his life were stable and then i lost my job which intel lost my burman. But for you know for after that 6 months we did pretty well you know we stayed with friends here and there we stayed with family but it sank i kind of started to feel like i was a burden these people you know because then they have to deal with my kid having his little fits in this that. You know i got another job and i was paying for hotel rooms you know 2 weeks out of each page i could i just got really expensive really pricey so you go to youre just like all right well im going to keep doing it im going to do and i got to get up i got to work. With having a kid a child with special abilities you kind of. You dont really get much. Expression when youre a single parent you dont at all youre constantly on the go on doing this doing that picking up picking up that. So you resort to of course a drug that makes you stay weak there isnt that surprisingly i got off it by myself i didnt go to rehab or anything i just kind of kicked it. Ive been clean for 3 months. There are about 150 beds in this large storm area. For families who have small children it will be like if its a single mom in a small one or 2 year old will share one of these small little bunks. And each family is allowed one of these totes per person so this has to be able to fit basically all of your earthly belongings in it. And thats not a lot of space as you can tell. Its tough for families. And one of the great frustrations here in salt lake is that theres a substantial lack of Affordable Housing and so thats one of the barriers that clients have is finding a place that they can continue to afford after our assistance ends clients a lot of times face other barriers to getting housing whether its on their criminal background or they have evictions from prior apartments and so it can sometimes be really difficult for clients to find a place to live that will accept them with their background or with the funding from the road home. To help them get out of the rut that theyre in. Thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the countrys military and the decision a little shattered lives are bringing home to your ex. The day that i was raised to be instructed you know told to shut up what theyd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life then he screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he raped me with his birthing curia if you take into account that women dont report because of the extreme retaliation and its probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing tat happen but ive never seen trauma like ive seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended i had an almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even going to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our and violent male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether thats a man or woman.
