Are court did you should know this no you my fusee says nothing records the affairs of a sad life is a graphic view of the human body in a psychological sense especially to people that are beef deprived early will then create conditions for themselves that will keep their position going. Because the way to cope with emotion the variation from is. Might be found maybe to be get very hostile. Or if you are stout youre going to be rejected. And thats going to reinforce your sense of being rejected in the 1st place. For you my to deal with the pain that some very will turn to addictions and all the additions are always about pain in my mantra is not why the addiction but why the pain and im sure that thats true physiologically psychologically spiritually. So then people started engaging additions as a way of dealing with their pain but that addition of the 1st true that i state that. Because you know theres going to be with an addict the reason of the so its very difficult and painful to do so but for the addict is even forces that im alone in order for me and which makes them further. Inclined to engage in addictive behavior to soothe that pain 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 war so. I was just saying she experienced a sense of love and connection which is what the endorphins do in the brain. And they die and detox a few years ago 6 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 dog was like when you 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 that i would love. You know then you ask why cant people give it up they can give it up because the only way they found that they can have pain relief and i 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 hell of a charity there is data. There really. Surprised not coming here we have a lot of that. The arts facility is what we call a low demand shelter theyre very low 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 pleads that were not requiring any for just a short in a program or service in order to be in the building and 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 other than. What weve got right now is welcome to our 3rd for this is our dormitory for here at the arch we were originally. Instructed on this property is a 100 bed facility they knew when they built that it was under built probably didnt know that it was in those under built as it actually is today we sleep 230 min in this facility every night versus the 100 beds that we were created with but were going to take a look at the dormitories themselves during the nicely were going to sleep 100 minutes here there are Case Management clients there in a plan theyre in a program theyre working on some goals that they step through their program it may be in comes to build the it may be sobriety theres a lot of different kinds of things that Case Management will address but over night they get to sleep in our dormitories. Which are bunk bed style we have 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 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 im in the overnight shelter the demographic for homelessness across the nation is changed in often just different and i think thats one of the things that we as a community have got to address is. The systemic generalization. Homelessness and the regeneration of Homeless People walking through our doors sometimes during the day its just something weve got to get. So prince this is a shelter provider but were also a Housing Provider we recognise the necessity of shelter but we do look at shelter as a band aid to the issue of almost really the solution is house if youve got limited housing opportunities youve got limited opportunities 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. Without housing report was we put it out in 2006 we formed rat. And made 2005 and immediately started. Funding trends and Affordable Housing and both were all through the u. S. D. A. Us department of agriculture and urban through housing and urban development because we wanted to look at 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. Is a really unusual issues is there any truth in the news also what this one creature known as gave birth to say about trucks the polls. Can you explain. And. Say show. I made my decision to come here because i felt and you. Know. My one dream is that all my children busy. Love cold weather i like the cultural history i like everything about it. By a small group. Small group. When you have a tiny. Police or sacrifice. That capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind.
