Rough Sleepers | Homelessness Documentary

[@haydenflynn2232]

Please try and keep the comments respectful! It was my aim in making this documentary not to impose any bias - to include the pure and simple facts with the uncensored opinions of those whom I interviewed. I appreciate your feedback/opinions and love facilitating a conversation about this issue. However, it is disappointing to see inaccurate, hurtful and bigoted remarks that do not contribute to the goal of finding solutions but rather aim to precipitate fear and ostracisation upon already marginalised members of our society. Thanks for your support! :)

@@skozlovskiThere were too many reasons that peoples became homelessness. 1. Jobless after few months . 2. Living on paycheck to paycheck. 3. Mental illness and disabled. 4.Due to abusive family and relationship 4.Teenagers lost of SUPPORT 5.There is not enough jobs for everybody! 6. Those who lost everything and turn to homelessness, they can't even get to apply a job due to no ID or Address. Try to find out more and see things from many angles, do not allow hater mindset and egoistic over you ? Obviously you are not in their shoes , you can't feel the pain in them ?

Good video :) you really spread awareness to this subject.You deserve more subs and views.

[@MissFoxification]

One thing these agencies need to stop doing is applying bandaid solutions. I was a child when Frontyard started, and they were pretty much nothing but a contact point where you went to call other agencies. They had printouts of housing/aid and you were dumped in front of a phone and that was that. Perhaps if you were lucky you were given a train ticket. I bounced around those agencies as a child for over a decade, and they solved nothing. In fact, they left me with problems as I did not gain experience and knowledge that is required to be a standard functioning adult in today's society. Sure, they gave me a roof over my head, but that was pretty much it. If they were my parents, that would have been considered neglectful. I learned how to survive, not how to live. I learned lessons that nobody needs to learn. The methods one learns to cope in such situations are not transferable, they won't help you find a job, a home or how to maintain effective interpersonal relationships. Sure, I can tell you how to break into a building to get a quiet nights sleep. I can tell you where to park your car so you can sleep in it and not be disturbed. I can tell you a roadhouse where they will let you park, shower and even have wifi. But I can't tell you how to manage office politics and keep your job when some fool is annoying you. The skills I learned, how to deal with troublemakers, let's just say that will get you fired. Homelessness services have a hell of a long way to go.

Great video, thank you. I believe in creating gardens (and outside/inside workshops, i.e Madrid where one is Tabacalera another is in a park outside) When people have something to do, something to come to, community, when people are socializing around something positive -we start changing the way we think. Learning about green self sufficiency and sustainability, creating and building -it's good for the people and good for the planet. And I bet there's lots of people in the city who would step up as volunteers for a project like that. There are quite a few cities in Europe that are doing things like this. Tempelhof in Berlin has a list of prob. a hundered (or much more) smaller community gardens under it's size in the the city, many of them open for whoever finds their way there -wich usually means that you have a good mix of people working and spending time together. Dignity Village in usa too, is a good example of a pure thought project for homeless people. They come from a different perspective than the usual eco-village, and still with the extra challenges -it seems like the village is working out great! I believe that if people can get a chance to learn how to take care of themselves, and have the opportunity to learn a skill or work on an interest -it will set something in motion. People get new self confidence by creating and by taking part in something, having some responsibility maybe. For me it was drawing and photography that helped me release some of what was stuck. I have been in almost the situation and have felt the struggle, unsafety and the lowering of self confidence and asteem -specially in times with no money while being alone out there. People need to feel like people, and it's surprisingly easy to start feel like a underdog. A community is a place to come home to, no matter if there is an apartment or if you go back to the streets when the night falls. If cities (or people) created cheap laundry/shower places too it would be a BIG help for homeless people. Community is the key, dignity is the key, sustainability and green self sufficiency, skills and good knowledge, art, music, happy times. This post suddenly was very long, just some thoughts though. TY again for the awareness work and sharing.

@@davedrums1873 Your response was exceedingly detailed, and descriptive . . . and shows, we all have a story to tell . . . many of them in parallel, with ours. Twenty three years ago, I arrived here by accident . . . after hitting a car broadside, on Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C. I just had arrived via 'space available' military air from Roosevelt Roads Naval Amphibious Base, Puerto Rico to Andrews AFB . . . with my objective being to arrive at Kona, Hawaii to perform in my second Ironman Triathlon. With a layover on Labor Day . . . I peddled across town to make a few bucks carrying bags (caddying) at Chevy Chase Country Club. Midway, peddling into D.C., I hit a car, broadside . . . and, used my head, as landing gear after landing on its' opposite side. Father got word of my accident and departed Providence, RI to see me at The George Washington University Hospital - Neuro Ward. He didn't believe I'd survive, when he first visited me . . . in my inconcious state. After his return home . . . he got word of my improvement . . . and returned, to witness that I was now conscious, however in a vegetable state. After one month . . . I was placed into therapy and rehabilitation . . . and, after bout five weeks, was discharged . . . and, initiated a new chapter of my life, as a new resident of D.C. Times have been tough . . . living 'on the atreets' or, in homeless shelters a half dozen times. My life has stabilized, since, and, I as well 'give back' whenever I'm able to. I receive excess from markets, and feed the homeless. There's much to redestribute, when 'expiration dates' come nye. There's so many ways, one can wonder how we can make this world 'a better place.'

i experienced homelessness briefly in my mid 30`s. i found a solution to my problem. i packed my bags and left for China as an English teacher for 17 years. I saved every cent, came back to Australia and bought myself a two bedroom unit CASH. i went to Tasmania in 2015, as it was cheap then to buy property in Tassie. The unit has more than doubled in value since then. I still believe too many people hide behind excuses, and dont make the effort to find solutions. Drugs and alcohol ARE MAIN FACTORS LEADING TO THIS LIFESTYLE. If i stayed in Australia, instead of going to China , i have no doubt, i`d be living amongst these poor people now.

Bridge housing units. Low cost 10’x20’ prefabricated 8-10 dwelling, 1-bed 1-bath insulated units, each with a lock and key. Set up in inconspicuous places throughout the general areas homeless tend to locate. Not fancy, no not a ‘prize’ but safe, warm structures to give people a place to call home. Can be built for $6-8,000 per dwelling. I live in a city with a wonderful group that built a low cost housing apartment building with 60 units but it cost $23 million! And today 2000 are on the waiting list for the place! We need low cost bridge shelters. Many issues would be solved if the folks had a roof over their head. Also waiting for someone to write the website that groups together 100 households that can chip in $20/mo to care for a homeless person. That would be $2,000/mo.

People need to be kept off the streets, why aren't there stable places of refuse for everyone and the Government crying out we havn't got enough money when they spend Billions on buildings we don't need, is sending out a message to the rest of the world that Australia is heartless in its making of the future.

Working with 15 kids in leaving care i could get mostly everything like work, clothes, white goods but never longterm accomodation....ever!

[@eaglesquedingo2112]

Very true. They are just discarded of and left to navigate their new world. Removing/stealing children is not always the answer.

I am also houseless( vets are not homeless here in us)

[@avail1.]

Homeless since 2005, on the bench, or ground. Many kind people, who have continually shown how to love others, as they have toward me in all that they have done for me. Since the US corporation has given so much to those entering illegally, and the Companies 500 employ the illegal. So they also could have done for those of us who were born here by parents who were born here. The "federal subsidies" = taxpayer money $$ has been used by Corporate powers to make 98% of consumer goods *BEFORE IT GETS TO STORES...so why are we being required to go to stores, and pay for it twice, a 2nd time?? We should now be able to go, now each day and receive just what we need for today.... isn't that right?? God bless you 🤗

[@tommybunns4420]

im homeless and i do toritz tuesdays

[@brimzs]

Thats a nice dog at about 14 minutes his owner seems cool as well

[@NoChance-zl3nb]

Quite a number of people I had contact with that was in and out of the justice systems have expressed to me that they would much like to get the education required and become social workers etc. I can never judge these people just because they’ve got a criminal record because as least they still have a life goal. It’s the ppl who have lost their directions in life and couldn’t/wouldn’t want to help themselves( yes I do believe you have to be willing to help yourself before everyone else could help you) that really saddens me.

[@joeldecoster8816]

everyone is freaking out having a home is a luxury, having a secure job is a dream ,people are going mad,

[@joeldecoster8816]

its a lot more complicated than that

[@danwill4904]

been homeless for 14+ years the Australian government doesn't give a fuck.

[@alexoh9671]

Where are the parents in most of these youth cases? Shameful! The young people are obviously uneducated and blame the wrong things that led to these circumstances.

I think anyone who buys a house anywhere they should be made to buy a tiny house for a homeless person there should be tiny home parks like trailer parks

[@jasonzhang7725]

I do not understand homeless in Australia jobseeker 282.50 a week, 4 bedroom home rent 400.00 a week. 4 jobseeker people get 1130.00 a week between them. It seems each one of them after paying 100.00 rent would have 182.50 a week for all the other things they need and maybe even be able to save some for a rainy day. This is Australia not the USA.

[@joebloggs-el3gv]

4 bedroom house now $1000 per week

[@lorinmcmillan2378]

Our housing system is broken ... a complete failure

[@gardenfresh1268]

They'll give it to someone who wants it more that's why they get more to people from other countries because of there experiences is more extreme sorry to say but that's why they get more

[@dabbbles]

The 'solution' is simple. Make 'crown land' available for free (as per the earlier colonists/returned soldiers) and let people get on with building their own houses the best way they can/can afford WITHOUT ENDLESS INTERFERENCE BY BUREAUCRATIC BOOFHEADS AND POLITICIANS.. I've built eight houses (up to and beyond civil requirements) entirely without any 'qualifications' or approvals. The most expensive one cost me $8500 (sic), and recently attracted an offer of $2.8 MILLION (which was rejected by the current owner. The Blackfellas landed here 65 THOUSAND YEARS AGO, and I've never heard of a report that any of them were ever reported to be homeless. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR HOMELESSNESS IN AUSTRALIA...other than 'official' obstruction. If people really cared (and homelessness is but one of several issues.) This country would benefit from a French-style revolution, where all the 'governing classes' are eradicated. PS. I was one of 4 million postwar migrants brought out by Menzies to 'Build the country'. They had NOTHING having just survived the murderous war, and most couldn't even speak English. There was NO 'Social Security': the only promise they had was 'All the work you want'. I don't know of a single one of them that wasn't in their own house in under 5 years (and down to about TWO years!) The ONLY 'rule' was: "If your roof caves in on you don't tell us; the problem is yours". (55 years after I helped my father build our family home it still required a bulldozer to demolish it!)

[@haydenflynn2232]

The Melbourne City Mission website ( www.melbournecitymission.org.au ) has a heap of great donation and volunteer opportunities. Thanks for your interest! :)

[@SaafiraRaja]

Bec McGettigan... Start with volunteering... I do that a lot... Women especially appreciate items that make them feel like WOMEN again. Even bottles of perfume from the dollar store. O often clear the shelves and make up gift bags... Those SMILES ARE PRICELESS. I occasionally have a group over for dinner and sleepovers

I really intended to watch this documentary but I can only take a few minutes of these British or English accents. 😩

[@aileenmoore7503]

Erm, they are Australian accents!

[@chrisbrown-jw4ce]

yes Australian people need help, when housing is only for profit and investment, record immigration, and there is underinvestment in public housing that's the governments fault.

Just watched a video about finding homes for sex offenders. Are you joking when people with young children even babies are sleeping in their cars. The world's gone mad. As usual help the perpitraitor. Victims can fend for themselves.
