The lady running that hope office is an angel

[@yukyukyuk1335]

@snapstring Furthermore, she made a most profound statement: These people weren't able to choose what genes they were born with. The homeless, even the drug users, should be treated as disabled. In the old days, they were institutionalized in terrible conditions or driven forcibly from human settlements. Today, the best solution, though not perfect, is tiny houses on publicly owned land. Otherwise they suffer.

Watching a Facebook wall from back home in England, the discussion was about a family that was homeless and living on public land. They had been thrown out of public housing due to their delinquent son. But I tell you, everyone got together and bought food, clothing, were upset that this had happened in their town. They actually found there was more families homeless up there. Local people got together and marched outside the local government buildings. They got rehoused, the local council admitted to fault. In England usually families will be appointed a home visitor, and they will receive services, mental health, parenting, mental health counseling. Some do drop through the cracks. Yep there is a lot of homeless in England, it's appalling, especially in a western country. But hey since we left the EU! It doesn't matter whether they are mentally ill, everyone gets down on there luck. The system is fucked up here in the states. I've experienced my step daughter being homeless. I went down there 3 times before she finally came home with me, there's only 9 years between us, but I'm her Mum. It was a rough road but I got her off drugs,( meth the demon drug) and got her medical attention, mess that stabilized her somewhat. Today she has a home and is living happily with her husband. There is a lot as a community that people could do, I'm not saying bring them into your home, but the government should look after their disabled, this is a western country, and probably the only one that doesn't look after there disabled, and that's a crying bloody shame. It's all about the green ! Totally bollocks.

My Great Grandmothers house Use to be on Jefferson and my Aunts was on Washington and the Ontario Ca Airport bought all the houses out over several years so they can expand my grandmothers was one of the last houses left they finally got it and torn it down and my Uncle Rusty (Darrell aka Hoss aka Rusty) grew up there his whole life and he had no where to go so he was the first tent in this area then others started coming in the airport project affected Alot of people.

[@orpheasnestos7444]

The solution to homelessness, in part, is to give out small land pieces and have the people bulid with natural and reclaimed matereials. Initially, very small homes following sustainable and self-sufficient methods, where they build themsleves each community members home, one after the other untill everyone has a roof to sleep under. Then, start planting their own food, raising few chicken and small animals. After that, they can look into small solar and/or wind power solutions. All this , with a strong solidarity spirit, resources based "local" economy (exchange of goods and services) and giving to others what you don't need. Some could take up beekeeping for some honey of their own and some extra money. All this is possible with very little money. NGOs and local municipalities could easily make projects like this work! Finally, it would be beneficial to all if all this was done, free of religious, ideological or political affiliations..... There are ALWAYS solutions, this is 2016! What's needed is WILL and KNOWLEDGE not money.

[@passives0n]

You should keep in mind that many chronic homeless are mentally or emotionally unstable and are incapable of constructing or managing a structured property. This is why they are homeless. Also such property would have to pass building codes, HUD standards, and meet covenance provisions of city or county ordinances. Most counties provide temporary permits to live in an RV while developing a property, but permits are only good for 90 days. We are over regulated by government hawks.

[@orpheasnestos7444]

Yes, but mental health tends to improve greatly when living and social conditions improve. Naturally built homes are usually, low maintenance, small and simple. As per building codes, if a relevant university/college department got involved (civil engineering school), maybe special permits could be provided for special structure zones. Something like a pilot building program. Then there is the minimum coverage code that allows you to bulid without a permit when the structure covers less than a particular number of square feet.(don't remember the exact number). Also, some states and counties are still without a code at all.

[@benmartz3405]

I hope those dogs aren’t Euthanized, that would be the ultimate sin! These people’s dogs are like their child or family , how horrible is it for the city to take away their babies! For anyone out there looking at the same situation I suggest you register your dog as a service dog, through activedogs.com, very easy for $50 you get an identification # & a lifetime membership with the U.S government office of service dog registry! Once the dog is registered it’s for life! You also get a tag or vest (depending on what you choose)! I registered my dog to make sure my dog was untouchable & as a service dog, it can go with you anywhere, restaurants, doctors, airports, stores, etc... the U.S government law state’s no one can refuse you of service if you have a registered service dog providing the dog is well mannered! I hope this helps everyone in the same situation, God bless!

[@FeedScrn]

solution, kind of: Most homeless would appreciate a car or a van given or loaned to them. It's shelter. They probably don't need overnight heat, but if they do, people seem to like the propane Buddy Heater. Maybe the gov can provide electric hookups with oil-filled space heaters in the cold months.... kind of like a drive-in. In cities like LA or in Florida - maybe just a sleeping bag or a couple of blankets, and a pillow would do. Give them a weekly gasoline allowance as well. There will have to be a gov run network of vehicle maintenance shops to keep them running.... but they will be cheaper than the $millions that is spent on stick-and-brick public housing now. Them in vehicles is safer for them than sleeping in homeless shelters, on the street in some corner, or in 'the projects'.. Sometimes mobility can make all the difference. Soup kitchens should remain open for those who can use them. TaDa! There's a whole community who live in cars and vans- who like it. See channel Cheap RV Living (all one word- no spaces), Rolling Earth-Ship, etc. for details.

This is either an unusual camp or a very "sanitized" video. Most camps include drunken roaring parties, zombied out druggies, and incoherent ramblings of the mentally ill, as well as many temporarily homeless who need short range help to get back on their feet. But it is to the point, in that everybody needs a place to sleep in peace. And we need to adapt zoning laws so that there is something between a $75,000 to-code minimum house, and sleeping in a cardboard box. Also, temporary help to succeed needs to be delineated from enabling total lack of ambition or self help. I can't blame Ontario for wanting to help their own homeless folks, before taking on homeless from the surrounding areas. The transition seemed pretty rough, but there is no easy way. In the homeless world, a dog is your guard while you get a night's sleep. without a dog, you have your few possessions stolen, or else stay awake all night. There has to be some place where old , ugly, mentally incompetent, disorganized, or broken people can live. Nazi Germany is loudly condemned for killing "undesirable" people. But what is the ultimate result of being hurried away, denied basic needs, not even allowed a nigh';s sleep? Not a lot different than a gas oven. We can do a lot better.

I live in Portland OR where we have one of the biggest numbers in the homeless population so it baffles me that they haven’t and won’t create tent cities like these!! We even have tons of abandoned houses and buildings that would be perfect for shelters yet they just sit there empty and blocked off. They’ve even started putting iron gates around the open spaces under overpassed to keep people from sleeping up in them. All of this wasted space being blocked off just forces them to sleep on the side walks and other places where it blocks public access. It’s just sad and frustrating that as much as we pay in taxes every year the government won’t spend the time and finances in helping the homeless but instead spends a ton more money on not helping them but making it harder for them to get back on their feet or just have a place to set up their tents and not have to worry about taking it down everyday or live in fear that all of their belongs and tent will get thrown away!! 😢🙏💙😇⛺️

here in new zealand there are more people ending up on the street each week,whole familys, single parent with babies etc, as the housing crises is getting dangerously critical our government has recently using the topic of global warming to get away from the subject of homelessness an it has been notice by the public an media on what hes doing. as this country is getting worst an u see more an more homeless people on the street it disturbing an disgusting ,i feel realy bad for those who have no home.i cry for them. i am looking to be finding myself homeless soon an end up on the street, theres no more homes to go or people to help in need, as the population is growing at a rapid rate more kiwis are finding there self with out a home even a few youths are homeless.. as there are 90,0000 ppl entering new zealand kiwis are getting pushed out

This is near where I grew up...that is the Mount Baldy range in the background. This astounds me...I never saw anything like this, except Tijuana in Mexico. I grew up in Montclair, just next door to Ontario. \\][//

More & more restrictions until there’s nothing left!

Just because somebody has a Job, doesn't mean you can afford rent.

[@mosesyang4222]

The reason why people are so against tent cities is b/c they dont know how to take care of themselves. I've been to a tent city once when a friend was homeless and it is very third world country, there's needles everywhere, garbage everywhere, dog crap everywhere, no sewage so people just shat everywhere, it was very disgusting and it reeked to high heaven. I'm sure if these people took good care of their surroundings no one would complain since it'll be just like a bunch of campers.

[@3fiddy7777]

+Moses Yang hrmm when your dirt poor have no sewage solution and live in a tent ..what can you do ??

[@MzSoCal909]

You dont need money to be organized... you dont need money to improvise ... If they came together and put structure and organization into their tent cities it would work unfortunately most of them are druggies and not motivated enough.

[@JamesBond-uz2dm]

Make a latrine.

[@passives0n]

If they were capable of structure and organization they probably wouldn't be homeless.

[@passives0n]

And again the social stigmata, most are druggies. Not true. Do everyone a favor and educate yourself.

[@EGJordanm31]

This was filmed in 2008 according to the wedding announcement 15:33. Has anyone followed up on what happened with these people and is that camp still there?

[@fredgomez9749]

its not there anymore. they closed it down

[@debradesimone9777]

The opinion I am writing is MINE. Please, no nasty comments. Thru all this I am not seeing these people showing any gratitude for anything. I have been homeless, there are agencies to help but, you have to have the ambition to go and get the help. Unfortunately, people in this situation give up and accept their circumstances and get comfortable with what they have. If you cant take care of yourself why bring a dog or dogs to have to take of? The whole documentary was sad for me. These people are broken and hopeless and it makes my heart hurt to see them.

[@raivolillepool659]

Where you see hill that big in On????

[@carllasplac]

Lord I don't want to ever be homeless but if it happens so be it please don't let it happen to my sweet mama

[@bernadettekennedy2981]

Realtors are to blame for homelessness.They should have to have degrees with ethics laws. They should not be able to sell homes to investors instead of homebuyers and should not be able to set rents or home values.

[@schatzeeone6230]

Realtors don’t set home values or rents. An assessor sets the value and property owners determine rental rates. Realtors just show the homes and do the paperwork. Cities could stop investors from buying up properties, but they won’t. They’re only interested in the taxable value. They don’t care who pays it, as long as somebody does.

[@lindapowell4437]

People trying to have a little joy in life what they go through.

[@brand3820]

It’s always someone else’s fault..There’s always an excuse..They never tell the full, real story of why they are homeless...The truth in the large majority of these cases is drugs, alcohol, sexual predators, laziness, and mental illness..

[@idontcare70]

Congrats to the judge for calling out the selfish behaviour of the ones claiming tragedy.

[@claudiaari0969]

this if I live in ontario california in downtown Los Angeles Califirnia and ultimately to ontario, san verdandino , pamplona and many cities almost 70 % of homes are for families low income , most of the tenants of these houses are Mexican families , especially Mexican Americans or Pochos

Helping at home in the USA is more important than anything. I crochet respond if you need a blanket. I make lap blankets.

[@SilverWatcher.]

Born and raised in Cali but if this ever happened to me I would go to the forests am I the only one in Cali that knows how to hunt and gather. Good god. Help these ppl.

[@schatzeeone6230]

They’d never do that. It sounds too much like work.

[@letsthinkitover1]

Hey there is a reason their family Don't Want them.! Drugs alcohol, violence. And so on. Generally as a rule families put up with as much as they can then they got to close the door. I KNOW I've helped these people. And it's their fault. THEY are gonna have to change their way and second chances are very very rare with family after years time can heal, just got to check back with your family they may help you, Time heals. But don't think you can go back too soon and still drink and use drugs.

[@thenetnet5556]

Great idea. Put in place really strict rent controls. Make sure no one could earn a dime building rental units. And when population growth far outstrips the supply of rental housing, making tens of thousands homeless, blame corporate greed. Nice!

[@11pmeade]

At 6:30, she talks about hope as being the most important thing in life. Nietzsche said it's the worst evil because it prolongs the torments of Man (from Human, All Too Human).

[@calmingwaters1981]

tagging the homeless....wow. dude said he doesn't look at it as a experiment, but I get the feeling it is.

[@thespidersnest3027]

What about the Native Indians in America?? People keep commenting "give the homeless land," wtf!!

This is a tragedy. So very sad.

[@abbeyglencircle]

WHERE ARE THEIR RELATIVES?

[@itsjustrenee1320]

So where are the children supposed to go? it should be a federal law that any town over 10,000 people in the U.S. should have a tent city with facilities, meaning restrooms or latrines & water & dumpsters. Also every county in the U.S. should also have a designated tent /camper area with facilities with size requirements based on a percentage of population. They should have the rights to have dogs & children like anyone else. California is supposed to be so enlightened, why can't they see the obvious in front of their faces? They're heartless & that's a bad place to begin from.

[@billykidd5353]

Do they have a rent to own tents ?

[@passives0n]

This would be a Herculean undertaking, however it has both a certain rustic and communal appeal. A community would have to draft a proposal, a budget, and provide NGO oversight to get approval and funding. Few are willing to volunteer for administrating a program that could be plague by insolvent public officials with huge authoritarian egos. This is a problem with Big Government always trying to save us from ourselves.

[@romlyn99]

This is a rare example of True Christian ethics... helping the poor and vulnerable. Pity our governments cannot have the heart and empathy to effect real change.

[@glen6945]

omg-lower the damn rent
