I think that politicians should get their salaries docked if more than a certain percentage of people in their area are without proper homes & if this does not improve by a certain amount each year. There needs to be accountability. It is ridiculous for people to be on the street & it be costing the taxpayer extra to keep them on the streets. This destroys peoples health. Time this was sorted out.
I’m not homeless, I’m not American. But i get that there is a severe crisis not only by seeing these videos but seeing videos of what US suburbs’s in big city really are. I mean I’m not a citizen but it seems an attitudes of most civilized countries (like Italy which i live in here there’s lack of associations and I’m asking where the homeless people go?) of showing the bright side of them like the economy is growing, big cities, big buildings, big advertising company, the middle class citizens houses, the army, the police, politics, religion...But in a big system with a lot money circulating into that there are big faults even for other states economy. I know invisible people has a good purpose, I see hundreds of videos and I’m still not tired of hearing people opinion of what’s wrong with the system they live in. But when i see this video i think i don’t believe it, i’m sorry but with homeless people that are working hard and not having housing; this seems the luxury image i talked before. The people are too proactive to be true (like this comment section). If all people are happy even in these comment sections; where are the bad stuffs? I don’t think they have really touched in their lives any. They have no idea of what means understand or care about others’s problems. With the image that we give from the outside we are all philanthropists.

Yes, but at the same time no, i understand that maybe there's no enough money, but a shared room or apartment isn't a home, but at least it can be extremely better than the streets
But as i said, a shared room/apartment, isn't a home, we need private and secure houses, but at least she did something, i wish in a future she can make private and secure houses
Thank you for doing this you are beautiful!!! I am pregnant, escaped a abusive relationship during this pandemic. Went to a shelter, they put me up in a house right away! I am so blessed I feel as though the homeless that want to change their lives for real deserve this stability. God Bless ❤
Stephanie is doing AMAZING work, every major city to take a note or two on how to create a safe, structural spaces for homelessness and getting people off the streets and onto the pathway of independence.
Empowered towards their self sufficiency. I’m doing research on a job interview tomorrow. First time working with a homeless community and paid. Homelessness is a part of who I am and I’m ready to give back. I just am blown away by the idea of making this place feel as “home” as it can because for people who have been long term.. it can be a long way up. This is wonderful.
This is the best video on homelessness that I have ever seen. I wish more cities did this. At least someone is doing it somewhere. So we know it is possible.
permanent supportive housing for the win!!!!!! may the universe help all those in need to get back on there feet and back into society contributing and enjoying there life just as every human should...bless!
Brothers, Sisters, Daughters, Sons, gonna take everyone to keep our struggling down...They'll never build a wall strong enough, or stop us all, gonna keep our struggling down.
I have worked in homelessness nationally for 20 years. A lot of places are like this - this is what the places look like when they first open. It costs a lot to run things things. Things to think of: Why don't the clients cook for themselves? Why are the people still called homeless if they have shared housing with all these amenities? Why do they have to call every week to keep their place? Why is it free? They can pay some. i worked at a large shelter where we modified it and charged $80/month after the first month which is free.
Persona I actually working a business plan to do so...I would love for you to be apart of....because it takes genuine people. Anyone watching this has a good heart, because who would otherwise?...This video was very humbling.
she really has a heart of gold, she really loves the opportunities to promote her project, bless her, bless you man for making this channel. people need to shift their focus from enriching themself financially to helping people in need.
This is a great project. I like the idea of combining homeless shelter, permanent supportive housing, and workforce housing. I haven't seen this before. But I always have an issue with the idea of bunkbeds. For one, it reminds people of prison, and for, two, it is not safe for older adults to climb on top of a bunkbed. When I had to live in a homeless shelter and then they took us to the apartment complex, there were all these bunkbeds that were unsafe, loose, and dangerous. This is something I want to consider as I plan my own homeless shelter. However, I do appreciate this video. It is likely one of the most helpful I have watched in a long time. Thank you and thank you for the work you do. God bless.
Wow! God bless you both in Jesus Christ’s name🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I pray and believe that very soon, I too will be able to support this type of program, build houses with dignity for people who are depressed, and in desperate need of a home to brake from the people or conditions that triggers their anxieties🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾♥️♥️♥️♥️
Wow this is what every state to do this is great Wow I have been praying for this for a very long time and will continue to pray for more God help us please take care of all of our homeless families we love them all !!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ok this is the coolest thing since sliced bread. I have this exact dream! And I am ALMOST to the point of knowing enough movers & shakers to get a project like this rolling in Minnesota. Let's GO!!

A couple of years ago you interviewed a fellow from Colorado who had Schizophrenia. His name was either Mark or Mike. I hope that man can find something like this shelter. He had been severely abused as a child and suffered from schizophrenia.
This sounds like the place to be homeless! Not that homelessness is good-I’ve been there. But at least this is a wonderful thing they are doing!! Wow!❤️🥰🙏✝️
I appreciate having resources for those who really are ready to come out of being homeless. Some people abruptly find themselves without housing, while others get themselves there due to mental health issues. Either way, we never know when we might be homeless (aka natural disaster victims).
What about the men ? Most people are men who are homeless. I am happy they have this place, but the men need help too. We need UBI and Government Housing for All. When you see trailer parks where the trailer is only 2 feet from each other and are only 10 feet by 30 feet. There is no reason why the government could not do this, create trailer park Community of 1000 trailers on 10 acres with a dining hall, just like the army. We need to get together and have this be questions for every election. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Wrong. We need zero government involvement. The government fucks up everything it touches. It's best to have people who care involved, and that's not the government. Community.
@S E there is no evidence UBI leads to inflation, especially not proportionally to how much more people have www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/9/20/16256240/mexico-cash-transfer-inflation-basic-income. It also is wrong to assume receiving some income for no work means no one will want to work. On the contrary, people will be willing to work more lower wage jobs because they're basic needs are covered and all of the money they make gets saved or spent. Do some research before you spout stuff next time.

My town needs this. Lost my job from sickness, someone hit my car when its been parked out of the way for almost a week, phone got stolen and my friend and his mom wanted to move out of the blue and i told my Dad and he wouldn’t let me move back in with him. I thought i was gonna be homeless and started freaking out and crying but my friends cousin is letting me stay with then for a month at least
When I first saw this a few years ago, I remembered being happy that people staying at a shelter would be treated with such dignity. Now that I've worked with the unhoused, I notice the potential barriers presented by this shelter: age restrictions, financial barriers, and identifying as male.
Some absolutely amazing ideas being implemented here. I hope there will be something available to unhoused gay male victims of domestic abuse in my community some day.

Ingenious! Provide housing for the homeless (with some amenities), create a school-like atmosphere (with possibly some mild discipline involved) and keep 'em active with daily, non-monetary daily chores.
First, it is definitely admirable to assist those on the verge of, or are already homeless. The cost of housing is out of control, with rent/and required deposits. Second, it is also fantastic that there are facilities like this one in Denver, which is newer, and has options for those who are in vulnerable positions. Personally, I have volunteered at a shelter in New Britain, Connecticut years ago, and intermittently donated food. Third, however, my concerns with this type of set up are the following: 1. Who monitors the all gender bathroom ? Do individuals sign up for time ? How is that managed, if someone wants privacy ? 2. Who monitors the room with all of the beds ? Are there strict rules regarding noise, appropriate behavior, crime, and possible illness ? 3. Are there security cameras on the premise that can provide additional monitoring ? Last, are there programs within the faculty that assist with job placement, addressing SUD/mental health issues, or can provide temporary transportation ? Personally, I feel it is important to not only assist in the immediate need, however, depending on the ability of the individual, provide them the necessary tools to becoming financially stable, so they can leave the shelter with a possible job/career and other housing.
The "other housing" will always be a sticky part with all the housing pressures in most of the USA. I don't know this facility, but I can assure you they leave no stone unturned when it comes to additional services, with consultants or transport etc. As for the communal safety and quality, too much control is not considered particularly healthy, the place will not be full of cameras for example, not to mention that cameras help with investigation but hardly ever with prevention - plus people become experts at disabling them and evading them. You basically keep a place like this as safe as you can, but not safer. If there's a high turnover (despite their effort to provide at least weekly states), there'll be the odd rotten apple, which then will be removed no doubt. But you'll be surprised how even rotten apples have some common sense and they'll go the extra mile not to bite the hand that feeds them, when the feeding is good and the environment respectful.
This is awesome, every town should have a place such as this Outstanding project that meets people’s needs.We all need a chance out of life love never fails.

Great idea. I'd like to see yearly updates on these projects to see how well they fair. Being brand new, yes it looks great, just follow up and see what time tells about how successful it turns out. Good results would be a great incentive for other places to follow suit.
Gets them off the street. Tent cities lower property values, high crime, sexual assault, rats, etc. This is not a perfect solution, but it's a solution.

I’m confused.. one week?? To back out on the streets after that week? I would rather not do it for just one week.. she seems very happy for just one week. It’s just too hard to give up after just seven days.. one year should be time and make a thousand or two more of these types of housing.
one week does seem a little tight to plan what you're going to do for the rest of the year.... must be a very disciplined program...using all hours of the day to connect to all the resources... goodness gracious
An idea I always had for the homeless who are really struggling. Maybe have them join a program where they leave the city go off into some part of the country. They can get the help and rehabilitation they need but at the same time as they progress they can join a hobby like growing crops, or learning to sew or something so that way they can make profit while they are there or maybe even get paid? Idk something I always thought about
In my experience there's a 20% or 30% of guests who have mental issues that never get resolved, and even taking your medication regularly is tough with unstable housing and income. And you have a similar percentage that does not "fit" the local economy, either because of looks, health, IQ, age etc. There's some hope they'll qualify for disability, SS or pensions at some point down the line. And then there's a minority that are young or healthy or smart enough to fix their lives, but they would probably "succeed" even if you left them naked and afraid with a plastic spoon in a mountain trail in winter.

Your voice can help end homelessness. If we do not fix the affordable housing crisis, homelessness will continue to get worse. Click here invisiblepeople.tv/getinvolved to tweet, email, call, or Facebook your federal and state legislators to tell them ending homelessness and creating more affordable housing is a priority to you.
I think that politicians should get their salaries docked if more than a certain percentage of people in their area are without proper homes & if this does not improve by a certain amount each year. There needs to be accountability. It is ridiculous for people to be on the street & it be costing the taxpayer extra to keep them on the streets. This destroys peoples health. Time this was sorted out.
Aw, come on, man, I talked to you in a comment or two about my homelessness and you didn't reply. You don't fucking give a shit.
Okay
Yeeeeeeee!
I’m not homeless, I’m not American. But i get that there is a severe crisis not only by seeing these videos but seeing videos of what US suburbs’s in big city really are. I mean I’m not a citizen but it seems an attitudes of most civilized countries (like Italy which i live in here there’s lack of associations and I’m asking where the homeless people go?) of showing the bright side of them like the economy is growing, big cities, big buildings, big advertising company, the middle class citizens houses, the army, the police, politics, religion...But in a big system with a lot money circulating into that there are big faults even for other states economy.

Dang girl that’s amazing, where do u live? Waitlists for housing are usually years long so that’s great to hear you got in. Take care of yourself hun💜

Thank you guys for this facility and May the Good Lord continue to bless you to keep this shelter open.
I'm currently homeless and this is great.
Most people even in this area won’t actually ever get any of this.
There should be one of these in every city on America.
I will in Upland, Marie

This is excellent. I wish they could replicate this design across major cities in the US. It would solve so many problems.
These guys have a plan in place to help the homeless long term, not just for a few days which is great.

@R K woah! calm down my man, that's a lot of negativity.
Ingenious! Provide housing for the homeless (with some amenities), create a school-like atmosphere (with possibly some mild discipline involved) and keep 'em active with daily, non-monetary daily chores.
I'm moving to Denver !! 😃
First, it is definitely admirable to assist those on the verge of, or are already homeless. The cost of housing is out of control, with rent/and required deposits.
Second, it is also fantastic that there are facilities like this one in Denver, which is newer, and has options for those who are in vulnerable positions. Personally, I have volunteered at a shelter in New Britain, Connecticut years ago, and intermittently donated food.
Third, however, my concerns with this type of set up are the following:
1. Who monitors the all gender bathroom ? Do individuals sign up for time ? How is that managed, if someone wants privacy ?
2. Who monitors the room with all of the beds ? Are there strict rules regarding noise, appropriate behavior, crime, and possible illness ?
3. Are there security cameras on the premise that can provide additional monitoring ?
Last, are there programs within the faculty that assist with job placement, addressing SUD/mental health issues, or can provide temporary transportation ?
Personally, I feel it is important to not only assist in the immediate need, however, depending on the ability of the individual, provide them the necessary tools to becoming financially stable, so they can leave the shelter with a possible job/career and other housing.
The "other housing" will always be a sticky part with all the housing pressures in most of the USA. I don't know this facility, but I can assure you they leave no stone unturned when it comes to additional services, with consultants or transport etc. As for the communal safety and quality, too much control is not considered particularly healthy, the place will not be full of cameras for example, not to mention that cameras help with investigation but hardly ever with prevention - plus people become experts at disabling them and evading them. You basically keep a place like this as safe as you can, but not safer. If there's a high turnover (despite their effort to provide at least weekly states), there'll be the odd rotten apple, which then will be removed no doubt. But you'll be surprised how even rotten apples have some common sense and they'll go the extra mile not to bite the hand that feeds them, when the feeding is good and the environment respectful.
This is awesome, every town should have a place such as this Outstanding project that meets people’s needs.We all need a chance out of life love never fails.
When I see that this is run by Asian, I know this is gonna work well cos family support value and community is their way of life.
looking to see many more places like this around our beautiful U.S.A.... proud moments.
🙏❤️💪 Delores house is GREAT, Colorado has it Together, the ULTIMATE FACILITY in helping HOMELESS, thank you Stephanie for showing Invisible People-Mark, a Great Humanitarian Resolve to an stigmatized/oppressed Group of HUMANS🙏.
Love YA, Patty Sue Chandler-Lindquist age 63 Held/Forced HMLS 21 yrs in Baltimore MARYLAND, they even stole my TRUST Funds from my Great Grandfather, Editor and WWII Lt.Col Charles Millard Smith
Albuquerque, New Mexico and Espanola, New Mexico needs places like this.
Great vid and love the trauma informed care approach and design! Permanent supportive housing is key!

Beautiful lady with a warm ❤️
So most places make people pack their stuff up after each day? How are they suppose to work carrying all their luggage each day
Why is this only available to women and transgender women?
Wow Stephanie, you’re great. The community is lucky to have you. Shine.
This is dope af.

of course you are black you like free stuff
Yeah! Break! Care! Break! HUH??? why did you have to bring race into it ? and if you actually do your research it’s not that way
What happens after the week is up? How long before they can return for another week?
Great idea. I'd like to see yearly updates on these projects to see how well they fair. Being brand new, yes it looks great, just follow up and see what time tells about how successful it turns out. Good results would be a great incentive for other places to follow suit.
WOW incredible
Awesome, I'm working on mine now!
How does overcrowding the homeless HELP the homeless?
Gets them off the street. Tent cities lower property values, high crime, sexual assault, rats, etc. This is not a perfect solution, but it's a solution.
I hope this place is still here! I'm in Denver hoping to learn to do outreach and help unhoused folks.
It is!
It's like a Hostel but for free.
What an amazing place, and a sweet lady ❤
One night at a time is ridiculous. Thank you for your foresight in realizing a minimum of one week. What a campus!
This is awesome! ❤️❤️

Why only women and trans, why not also men ?
So many incredible humans doing such beautiful things for our world. God bless Stephanie and every involved in the Delores shelter. ❤️
I’m confused.. one week?? To back out on the streets after that week? I would rather not do it for just one week.. she seems very happy for just one week. It’s just too hard to give up after just seven days.. one year should be time and make a thousand or two more of these types of housing.
That’s an amazing idea! Go ahead and pay for it
one week does seem a little tight to plan what you're going to do for the rest of the year.... must be a very disciplined program...using all hours of the day to connect to all the resources... goodness gracious
@@zucc3039 what you don’t think the state can pay for that if they wanted to? Haha yeah they can trust and believe
True
An idea I always had for the homeless who are really struggling. Maybe have them join a program where they leave the city go off into some part of the country. They can get the help and rehabilitation they need but at the same time as they progress they can join a hobby like growing crops, or learning to sew or something so that way they can make profit while they are there or maybe even get paid? Idk something I always thought about
Heres what you dont understand.. people dont care. A few do. Most could care less if they all froze to death. They dont care.
In my experience there's a 20% or 30% of guests who have mental issues that never get resolved, and even taking your medication regularly is tough with unstable housing and income. And you have a similar percentage that does not "fit" the local economy, either because of looks, health, IQ, age etc. There's some hope they'll qualify for disability, SS or pensions at some point down the line. And then there's a minority that are young or healthy or smart enough to fix their lives, but they would probably "succeed" even if you left them naked and afraid with a plastic spoon in a mountain trail in winter.
im homeless right noiw.. trying to find advice.. and i would like to say God Bless your soul for making the stay a week and not 1 night.
One week stay is Not going to help you get housing ..That's not enough time .
Omg that place is gonna help alot of lives out there 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

I love this so much! I wish every major city had a facility like this. How can we make that happen?
Just curious how this amazing place was funded?
2:58 Oh man...imagine the farters at night time, lol.
Fire that interview dude.
Very nice! Wish there was such help in CA
They have coed living in CA.
