Needs of people who had problems you know skid row and these types of things alcoholic farms and we didnt have a population was so big that we coined a phrase and named it homelessness you know and now its become ingrained in our society but we know that if we can get the attention the American People and if they can really understand. This one thing that you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing. If we can get them to understand that and we can bring the solution because everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of it is. Were not. Its grew out of your. Power.

Matter of fact its a great opportunity if youre in the banking only and you see stocks trading higher and bank stocks will mean higher you have workers are needed taxes are needed when you can. Confer money for turbo burn the only best. Time of the time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability its very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability space where man not be more equitable and sustainable well. They claim their production is completely hominis. Because the models and got it into something Companies Want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this is Something Else this must be done even and i mean look. This is the move i mean listen we didnt dream and im stunned seemed to be based on that understood so when. Theres 2 kinds of leadership crisis leadership and non crisis leadership in the. New noncrisis leadership when things are stable and theres a reason prosperity in the past produce the future and you just ask. Its the phrase run on time a mentally healthy person is a better leader but in crisis periods when you need creativity and risk taking and the differently if they gain those mentally healthy leaders and youre not as good as he spent. The 1st night i was almost. That was a scary. Person. Because. I didnt have to show up with carter he didnt kill thats right i was like ok. Theres all kinds of scary people out here. Care you know i mean theres all kinds of scary people right and im from the mountains im from up in the mountains and then i get dropped down out here either. In the middle of the book down there youve got bugs. Rog just. What do you do. Any worse thing you can. Do you. Seen it watched it. In a pretty. I was a girl stabbed.

To see we have parents right through you know. Theyre all gone. Past when the free. My mom might well my father killed himself and i was 5 so. There my step dad it was my dad because i didnt even know my dad really was ok. Here he was a lumberjack up there and careless of them can set a tree fall on. Him cut down a tree last thing he remembered when the tree hit the ground so he got parallel. He died i was in prison and he died. My mom she died 6 a double pneumonia in 2005. But 2. Thank you lord for been my friend says he holds near again and run love your brother. Thank you for helping me. Because i will. If you had a magic wand waving giving everyone. In my family back. My family. My grandmother. He was here you know i just. Had my grandma back it made me all right just. Because i had everything to learn so. I didnt mean it but that. I know you may not know if. You wanted to know. So i said. I bought. Her and my family has. And i dont want to. Talk like you want to know what the right. I call it the jewish and all of this now you must who says nothing because the face of a sad life is aggressive. In the psychological sense as i see 2 people that are before deprived early voting create conditions for themselves. Keep a declaration going. Because the way to cope with emotion that relation for example might be might be to begin very hostile. You can be rejected. And thats going to reinforce your sense of being rejected in the 1st place. Or you might to deal with the pain that some terrible turn to addictions. And all the additions are always about pain and my mantra is not why the addition but why that pain and making sure that put us through physiology psychologically spiritually. So then people started engaging additions as a way of dealing with their pain or that addiction with their 1st true that i state that. Because failure is going to be with an addict and reasonably so its very difficult and painful to do so but for the addict it reinforces that im all alone in the reader for me and which makes them further. Inclined to engage in addictive behavior to suit that theme a sex trade worker a 27 year old said to me when i asked her what heroin did for her she said the 1st and i did heroin it felt like a washed out. And shes saying she experience the sense of love and connection which is what the endorphins do in the brain. And they die and detox a few years of 06 was something muscles tattoo scars earing everything but if i was walking towards me in an alley id run the other way when i asked him whether theyre into for you and he said i dont tell you this doc was like when youre 3 years old and youre shaving because youre sick as a kid and your mother wraps you know one blanket put you in your lap and you just dont want chicken soup thats what their own feeling. Is starting with love. Now then you ask why cant people give it up they cant give it up because the only way they found that they can have pain relief and know i have pleasure and delight and reward and that sense of connection. So homelessness in the chronically homeless may be seen as a coping mechanism. Thank you sir. Its a charity there is day i. Am really. Surprised not coming here we have a lot of that. The arch facility is what we call a low demand shelter their. Demand is that we dont ask you to do anything its just that they can and it will walk through the door other than their security behavior guidelines for us the definition of loaded been sheltering fluids that were not requiring any for just a short in a program or service in order to be in the building theres not going to be a requirement for you to be sober to be in the building you can come in under the influence of drugs or alcohol we just cant have you bringing it in with you so its an opportunity to work with our clientele on sobriety issues and wed much rather have them inside the building and under the influence than in the safety concern on the all of them. What weve got right now is welcome to our 3rd for this is our dormitory for here at the arch we were originally constructed on this property as a 100 bed facility they knew when they built that it was under built probably didnt know that it was in the under built as it actually is today we sleep 230 min in this facility every night 1st is the 100 beds that we were created with take a look at the dormitories. Themselves during the night sleep were going to sleep 100 minutes here there are paste management clients there in a plan theyre in a program theyre working on some goals that theyve set through their program it may be incomes to build the it may be sobriety theres a lot of different kinds of things that Case Management will address but overnight they get to sleep in our dormitories. Which are bunk bed style we have some storage and underneath each bed they love being able to store their own stuff and because theyre in our Shelter Program in our Case Management program each bed is assigned overnight to a specific individual so well have on this floor there are 100 beds and then overnight the way we get to the 230 is we also have some mats that go down the floors and were sleeping in places in this building that we were never really intended to sleep including our lobby our 2 Conference Rooms as well as our dining room. In our overall population profile is a 35 to 45 year old caucasian male struggling with Mental Health drug and alcohol addiction we see a lot of veterans in that mix too and then weve got a lot of women and children although this is a mens over Night Shelter the demographic for homelessness across the nation is changed in austin so different and i think thats one of the things that we as a community have got to address is the systemic generalization of homelessness and the regenerations of Homeless People walking through our doors sometimes during the day and its just kind of something weve got to get on. So prince this is a shelter provider but were also a Housing Provider we recognize the necessity of shelter but we do. That shelter is a bandaid to the issue of almost is really the solution for almost as house if youve got limited housing opportunities youve got limited hopper tuna to use to house the homeless so its really been a push in our community to get more Housing Stock on the ground so that we can solve homelessness and not just bandaid it was shelter. The without housing report was we put it out in 2006 we formed rat. And made 2005 and immediately started where these funding trends and in Affordable Housing in both were all through the u. S. D. A. U. S. Department of agriculture and urban through housing and urban development and because we wanted to look at it we know the shelter system started in the late 82 early 83 and by mid 1983 was across the country by 1987 the federal government had passed almost funding as a Major Program of their. What the hell happened right before that. We go to work you straight home. Thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the countrys military and the decision little sheltered lives every thing came to a complete. The day that i was raped. You know told to shut up kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he write me with his birthing area 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 thing to have 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 and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether thats a man or woman. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race is often very Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. I want to welcome to worlds apart most of us agreed that desperate times call for Desperate Measures but do they also call for guest. My guest today argues that while the same executives are well suited for good times. Mind made the. Country we were a rainy day. While the disk
