Used no now theyve been sitting here for a better part of a year collecting dust. And people are you know struggling and suffering. So yeah its really sad i mean its you know this is human life here. Los angeles authorities have accused his tiny himes of threatening Public Safety but elvis has seen the Tiny House Movement go viral online with support coming from right across the world so with the help of internet crowd funding hes going rogue once completed they all have a new carbon pad theyll be alarms on the windows i put the vents these holes in the top you know its really hot this summer here so that way the heat will rise and go out in the city of angels elvis isnt considered one by the powers that be. 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 until im five hundred years old then thats what im going to. El this is building his next house for a woman called raven. So a few people that live. Ravens living under the top next to a freeway. Its unhygienic and far from safe. The situation much worse than when this last. Check of this rare yeoman service. I. Could see. Ravens being on and off the streets most of her life. In the area yeah sure after fleeing violent home when she was just thirteen. She once had a time since the city forced most of the street hes been out here so you do not. Tired after getting that house i happened to do pretty well you may know a pretty good life but there are times when they. When they do it. Like dream the true story of. Elvis is worried by the state but this communal camp and he leaves to buy raven a tent until he can build her a new tiny house so im going to have it sent and run every back to you guys in a little while. Alone. Its up about a situation. Its been a struggle. The city always keeps us out from the state they tell us they create those. Who want to costly move their stuff every day. To the. Ravens out here because she feels emergency shelters are overbooked or unsafe but city law was designed to move these camps on. And as a phone queue she receives a visit. Our. Boys said we got to. Get him about this by saturday. Help us. Raven has given orders. Shes running out of places to go they want everybody downtown where body one section. Is not going to happen were trying to get our branch out. There to get away from downtown they want everybody downtown but 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 skid row. This is the only place that you can sit up a tent without the city forcing relief. But elvis is tiny homes arent allowed here. Skid row is. Unlike anything else in the united states. Call it the worst manmade disaster in the us high. Are you. Doing ok. And he fails runs a pig the merchants the shelter in the middle of skid row which id like to hes seen the numbers of women seeking help him a trip in just a year what you mean cant 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 exists 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 for half a mile down that way. Elvis is tiny houses designed as an option to avoid sleeping on skid row. Because here the increasing numbers of women and children a sleeping alongside drugs crime and the mentally ill. And police are the only source of protection so its a pretty constant ending yes day and night. The maintaining order here can be struck running with and. Commanders running with and through this yes. Ill 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 it 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 in 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. For the seat right here right across the city shelters a full up many have to turn people away the simple fact in l. A. Is theres just not enough shelter there are not enough beds forty seven thousand people experiencing homelessness 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. Up against 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 though were doing. What i think is essential is essential to the citys. The center of the citys become on the growth and also the citys image this team will put more than five tonnes 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 go by pleading that nobody. Has thought of them for something. Like. This if you dont just that. Youre in a waste. That the city gives advance notice of the cleanup but not everyone gets the message and today there are some unlucky ones. Like youre asking to. They like it because repeating i mean if you want to person living on the street you want to live if we sidewalk decide to see the value of us. But the citys focus on keeping the streets clean things 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 waits in the suburban and down on the street. So we can we if youre good side its my sea conditions to live it so we basically the city has been a determination that those should not be on the city streets. Thank. You. So much. Heres what people have been saying about rejected in that it was your decision to pull on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch. Yampa is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we are apparently better than two thousand. And see people you never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank so they. Sent us an email. Twenty teen what will see our Central Banks adding bitcoin to their Strategic Reserves alongside gold so big gold buyers like china and russia will be adding big oil to their Strategic Reserves song the banks possibly in venezuela they could completely change their fortunes in the Global Economy by switching over to crypto such over to bitcoin and then that will set a precedent for other countries to follow suit. Later that day right. They made a mistake to the phrase they basically did. And find out that getting you belongs to. The state. Or property destroyed. I ask you. I know to. Take you into a step. You know. Tasted it killed me the rules had to be tempe to wave in the driveway. To tennessee be down to sixty nine. At macys maybe. And that is seventy two to hours. Christine is new to the streets priced out of the winter shes discreetly trying to get back. She says money by collecting recyclables. But the authorities just take an entire weeks work. At the recycle bin. Laden. Street. The citys cleanup means that christine will be out here even longer. Before anything for was better. Than take into the to. Know is they. Well. For many Homeless People in l. A. A lack of Affordable Housing makes it almost impossible to get off the streets. This than three percent of the citys rental market is fake and. We walk around most of the night and then christine shows me something how breaking. This is the famous blouse. Festival house that i called my home. Now the memories here in. So that was home this is home for me. This home this four walls that. F. L. T. Cheering. That i have that again. I mean that my. Then he says in mind. This is meant that. This is tiny homes could help people like christine until they get back on their face back in compton the pressure is on for them to finish ravens tiny house. But he still needs to locate a place we can put it some way the city clean up one easily find these are just two of the over eight thousand lots of the city controls. But. Often stuff more love is not allowed. And while searching he gets a call from raven with an unexpected update. You are left in your turn around the time to do yeah im pregnant. This morning that im pregnant hard on a grammar and i doubt. Ill pray over about autonomy to have my life together elvis is already worried about reagan but he must to some enthusiasm i will listen i got to run right now but ill call you back later thats thats great news we have to celebrate. And i want to. I want to jump for joy and like cry of this and on like. This is how quickly a change in circumstance can see your life go from bad to worse when youre on the street. With the stakes raised for her tiny house i want to see her ravens coping with the news of her pregnancy. Despite getting orders to move shes still here at the same campsite. You know one of the of. There theyre. A little concerned guarding the conditions. Living at this time i got a lot of business to take care of. Dont know if im have enough time to care thats what makes me feel like. Like. Like getting off the streets. But getting off the streets is difficult for raven. We talk more and she reveals the devastating level of violence she fled as a kid. In the streets. I was listed as a juvenile runaway our nine years. My dad. My dad been in prison our life. Mamas. Seventh grade it would mean. A murder to kill me sliced so. Basically i had no choice but to grow up before it was time. Ravens had to learn to be tough. But shes right on the edge. Like more and more americans take here. She strips deep in the cycle of long term homelessness. With no immediate way of getting out. 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. 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 not having anywhere to go so its criminal. Picture of 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. So. Its Pretty Simple without shelter people die. So. Its been a few months but she was a good person and she was my friend. Mr. Inside city hall the pressure is on to create more housing. 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 well below to mt. Officials refuse to embrace elvis is tiny for me a tiny house. Parking space. It is not a solution were doing at this service to those individuals who stayed in these tiny homes without the output infrastructure in place the city council. Posed to tiny houses in his district because of concerns from angry residents. Someone wanted touring the site otherwise itll be a free for all itll be sex drugs and rocknroll and i think they would absolutely have to have some rules and price the. City is you know they are here wiping these guys out that will this and the city is clear intense yet again this time at raven and christines camp right now that load opened up there was a pristine show. Thats considered a bulky item so its going in the dumpster. Almost time and christines belongings are taken by the department of sanitation but residents not around so only christine is here to see it they say you know youre welcome i mean she hit rock bottom she didnt run fight every year. All that money. You can spend half of that and give these people a place to go but instead theyre treated. With ravens camp demolished most of her positions gone and with a baby on the way elvis must deliver her tiny house before nightfall. I finally found a suitable location for ravens tiny house in a quiet area mostly industrial. Affect anybody. Elvis and raven hope this part 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 delivery feeling very good by the very i am going to drop out of my im going to. March. So this tiny house its a brick house. After the week that shes had and everything shes gone through on top of being fragmented its more important now that she gets the house because i dont think she can go much longer with not get any rest. You really fear for the life 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 in life. To remember that you know you got things. You called me and said. You know people sit on the back porch. Look at the stars they want looking up at a tarp you know you have to see it sit not look at the tired but look at the stars its got a magic. So finally raven gets her own private space. Hopefully the first time in over a year a good nights sleep and you think its going to last. That was said to say with us forever i wish it could last forever. After gods hands. Above. But. Only. Small worm good im. Stupid to eat. Youse knows to. He still call my. In to pick up the saw the poor old polish koso.
