Every American veteran should allow to stay at any military base as a guest for temporary housing. They deserve more than a "Thank you for their service ". ❤❤🇺🇸❤❤
Bases are for active military…unfortunately veterans are on their own when they discharge. I had to find out about all my services and benefits on my own when I life the military. No one told me much at all. Just did a ton of slide shows on returning to civilian life and that’s about it.
@@curiouspenguin6887This has been the case for many years now. You'd need affordable housing, as in subsidized, to be able to rent, be it the SSI, or a check from the VA.
You are a very kind, well-spoken gentleman. I pray all goes well for you with housing and that you get your wish to be with your family again. Best wishes.
The really poor people are those in the back, passing by in their big vehicles, while others sleep in tents, not realizing, that they are next in line, because America is a developing country, just developing downwards, not upwards, and sooner or later, most of them will be homeless too
God Bless you Ken. I did many years on the streets of San Diego due to a personal injury on the MTS Bus and a dirty lawyer. You have such a nice kind face. I Pray that San Diego Veterans will take care of you. Let me know if George is still on the streets near Ralphs on First Avenue. Take care Mark, I love what you do.
This is how my friend got out of homelessness. Step:1 lived in his car! Step:2 found roommates "not perfect but its something" Step:3 got work fulltime because he could clean up and sleep! Step:4 found his own apartment. Though not everyone has a car to use and living in those shelters is madness. He lived in one shelter once and never went back!
In some Countries things are better from a social point of view, but one thing that is the same worldwide is the negative changes happening, particularly for the fragile ones.
The taxpayers of California have 20 BILLION in taxes towards the homeless situation since Newsom has been in office ( 2019). This is not so much an issue of money as it is a problem about olicy, regulation, too much red tape, and leadership. Who you vote for matters.
He's blessed he's not disabled,not been in any war campaigns,the fact he can actually work,he is so fortunate.san Diego is one of the very worst places for vets
My husband is a 24 yr veteran and I know for a fact this guy speaks the truth. The VA always acts like they care about you in public and you hear a lot of "thank you for your service" but it is mostly all for show.
Sounds like these organizations don't care about these veterans. As far as all the homeless people out here, the top officials, government, etc. want no parts of really helping them or putting into action real solutions.
It's pure class war. The wealthy don't want the rabble, the poor anywhere near them. Nimby puts a stop to low income housing instantly. It's class war,

@@robertchilders8698 I first moved to Panama, then Ecuador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Big differences with police. The electric torture devices are only used in the US. Bullets over 38 cal/9mm are only used in the US, explosive/expansive bullets are only used in the US. People nearly all handcuffed in front not behind the back. All as required by the Geneva's Conventions. US Cops will say the Geneva's Conventions only apply to War. No it applies to how Citizens are treated by police as well. Cops in Florida and Texas are even worse. Best part is I made absolutely no money my last 23 years in the US. I lived on savings that long and owned two travel trailers. 3 weeks after I arrived in Panama I registered numerous Patents, Copyrights and set up Manufacturing and Sales Contracts with Alibaba in China and my income went to over $300,000 a year. Something I could never have done in the US. Even if you speak to a US cop just once. You are on record and will be watched. As to homeless there are very few and I have seen them sleeping on the sidewalks in front of police stations undisturbed in all 4 countries. Freedom in America? No Way! More than anywhere if you don't have decent money you are a mere speed bump crossing the street.
@@robertchilders8698 Incidentally Panama is great for US Veterans. Free Medical at any Hospital or Clinic and they Bill the VA. Other countries are South Korea, Japan, Philippines, UK and Italy. And in Mexico $1000 a month will spend like $300. In Mexico City are Private Rooms called Pensions. Twin bed, dresser, chair, common kitchen, bathrooms, showers, tv room down the hallway includes WIFI. $108 a month!. In Nicaragua room and board commonly can be found for $40 to $60 a month. You're on your own for lunch. My home in Costa Rica is 7 bed/5 bath, 4 car garage on 23 acres for which I pay $153 a month. No invites, my lease agreement states my wife and self and 2 dogs as occupants. And no it would take you years to find something like this. But in 4 countries I have never paid over $180 a month for a 3/2 house.
I love this man. He is a vet who served his country with honor. Most important he is NOT a dope addict and he wants to work! NO WAY should this fine lovely man spend one hour homeless in my book organizational check boxes be damned. This man deserves housing right now this instant.

If you don’t ask for your ID back from SDPD or harbor police they will take it with them. They don’t give a damn. And it’s really messed up. It’s happened to me twice. I forgot to ask for my freaking ID back. Never saw it again. I went to the police headquarters to see if one of the cops turned my ID into lost and found or something, and HELL NO. It was gone
*Sad to hear her United States citizen/veteran cannot get housing right away, but illegal to cross the border and get them that day, along with assistance for food.. wow l*
why would anyone leave their identification, social security card, important documents in their tent? if youre not in that tent , things get stolen anyway.
The only real way to protect your valuables, like documents, is to rent a small storage unit, and hold onto it. Leaving one's docs, ID, etc. is very naive and reckless. Homeless people do steal from each other,the ones with no personal honor, anyway.
The ACLU really needs to be told about all this, and take the SDPD on !! They certainly have the clout to force the cops to stop using such abusive tactics. Long overdue. Everyone can email them, and sign or create petitions, to end that sick practice!
*For some reason, I feel like they need to give you the least 24 to 48 hours before coming in removing all debris off of the sidewalk that’s your personal property there’s legal recourse to that they can’t come remove it that day.*
It takes money to make money. I pray the best outcome for this gentlemen. The systems in place are not always attainable for the homeles.. Tangible assistance for them to get back on their feet is what works! ❤
God Bless Ken and glad to hear that he will soon have a roof over his head. Just a bit of good advice everyone, NEVER leave your personal documents lying around. Keep them with you 24/7 in your bag. Be careful who you trust in this world. God be with you always & allow Jesus into your heart wholeheartedly. God grant you happiness Ken. Thanks Mark, for the tireless work that you do. From an Aussie lady downunder! ❤❤ love what you do. You should come over and film people here in Australia who are homeless.
This veteran being homeless is unacceptable! Wth is wrong with people?!? They already fought the fight they should have a nice cozy house paid in full given to them! This is not fair!!! Ive been homeless for over a year. Not a veteran. What happened to America the beautiful? People need to snap out of it. President? Congress? Wake up
Go broke and watch where your family and friends go. Your only welcome if you don't need them for anything and you and your resources available for them if they do. It's a one way street. You fall they walk on you.
❤❤❤ yeah 😢I agree 😢sad... I 🙏 for him and his family!!!... I agree on this homeless crap. I'm homeless right now as well in SLC and I been calling every day to these shelters and as he said they all say differently every single day!! It pisses me off when they know there full but yet they still put me on hold to check their " availability" SMH.. 😮 something needs to change expecially when we really are changing our lives!!
I'm a veteran I've VA and everything because of covid and my disability having PTSD going through Cancer and out of work for 3 years I do not make enough money and my final day for me to be thrown out of my house is September 14
Oh my gushness..... I'm so sorry you went through that... Hotel/apartment vouchers before funding shelters and organizations nationwide in America is the answer... I'm sorry vet :c God will help us all.... And in reality this method I speak of helps the economy, communities including those in a homeless situation... ❤❤❤❤
#HomelessLivesMatter i Agree with Ur #Tshirt #EveryoneDeservesAHome just like #AnimalsDeserveHomes there is #Plenty4All but the #GREEDinPeople Shows More. #GreedyRentsDriveUpHomeless I See #Daily ALL the different Kinds of #HomelessPeople they Not just on the streets or in shelters, They in Motels, Hotels and Automobiles #WakeUPpeople We Got An Issue ❤
I am a homeless Veteran on disability in rural area of Oklahoma. No place to go for help! The nearest VA IS 130 MILES AWAY! NO OTHER HELP I KNOW NO ONE!
I hope that he can get some help to restore his teeth. He seems like a very nice man. He is a nice looking man and would have an easier time gaining employment if his teeth are restored.
When I become homeless I moved into my sailboat that I had built! The police confiscated my boat , thinking I was some kind of drug smuggler ànd environmental terrorist ! I witnessed a rogue cop smuggling drugs and mentioned it to the wrong person,! All hell broke loss! Got very depressed and went to the V.A. for help! They locked me up on a 72 hour hold saying I was crazy!! Never been in jail or did drugs! Tried to go to court to get my stuff back but to no avail! It was reported that the lawyers cost the taxpayers about $ 400 K to beat me in their coverup! HAS THIS COUNTRY GONE ÑUTS OR IS ME?? I've always been as honest as possible and nearly lost my life for this country. WHAT GIVES??
Find this gentleman a dentist. Hevis well spoken, he obviously has skills, and he seams truthful. Unfortionatly, many people will look at his teeth and dismis him for a job, espwcialy one that is customer based . Very sadly, its also a very dangerous health issue. If Ny of the missing teeth become infected, he will be in trouble, all the way to coma or death...
I agree about how missing teeth are perceived, but the reason his teeth are missing is to PREVENT infection. Broken or cracked teeth are more at risk for infection. To prevent this, they pull them. The cosmetic and aesthetic issues are very real though. There are many reasons other than drug and alcohol abuse and too much sugar that can cause cracked teeth. Mainly, regular dental checkups, cleanings and the ability to afford fixing teeth as the problem arise, is the main reason It's not affordable for many.
I Lost a job opportunity, because my fingernails were to clean for hard worker! I know for a fact that you can also loose job opportunities by having bad teeth!
We have an opportunity today for a chance to help humanity. Elect Dr. Cornel West for president, Green Party. He has stated cleanly that he will not live in the Whitehouse until these isuues are fixed. He is a man with a moral compass. America wake up,. We have to insure that all lives matter. Thank you both for speaking on homelessness. I hope many people are listening. People do care.❤
I have a homeless Son with mental health issues and I'm in a situation where I can't let him live with me. It's worrying me to death . His older brother and sister are cruel they don't care at all about him which really angers and disappoints me in them I am ashamed of them . I walk and meet him take him food and drinks gave him a duffle bag on wheels I'm doing everything I can to help him. He has extreme paranoia and is learning disorder and many other issues I realize he is hard to deal with at times but he only needs help long enough to get a job and get himself a place to live. I pray that God opens his family's heart and soul and gets him help.
Praying 🙏. Clearly you care deeply for him, even though your help is limited. i pray that he knows in his spirit he is loved by you and God. May God inspire the people around him who can help, the resources to do so and the right heart and approach that helps him find safety, some purpose in life that is meaningful .
My mom has the same problem. She's somewhere in olympia she's been gone all week. She has a house but she's so mentally screwed up that she doesn't stay there. We live in another state so we can't even help her. Unfortunately, the law doesn't give us permission to go. Move her down to california and have her forced in to taking her medicine. She has bipolar. She's been doing this for years.. Having manic episodes
In California there are some new laws pending that will make it where you must go to rehabilitation centers and hospitals for these conditions. In California, only relatives have the legal rights to have this done, unfortunately. Left by themselves in the streets, is why so many get harmed in some way. There are some homeless people,who aren't able to rent or pay bills, because they can't take care of themselves. So they need residential facilities to live in. Lots of money is available for both affordable housing and facilities for those who need them, but because of corruption, the money is stolen continually! Executives and administrators are way overpaid!!! Just research this subject, and you will see for yourselves!
You are looking at worst case scenarios. There are positive channels out there that show how the majority of Americans live. This is guy’s story is unfortunate and also very rare in the scope of all Americans in the USA.
@@marcopolo3109 I mean look around. The American dream is still alive. There will always be homeless, which is unfortunate, but get out of the ghetto and the American dream is being lived out more often than not. Look at the majority and you won’t make that ignorant statement.
This world is on its way to worse and worse. The Word of God makes it clear, that hearts of many will grow cold, devoid of love in the end days. We are close. Nothing surprises me. Evil is everywhere. It is up to good people to actually make things happen.
💪🐻❤️ I'm quickly getting so disheartened with police anymore. As a matter of fact, I'm disheartened by anyone working for the government. Who gets paid vacation, medical and a cushy paycheck. I'm sorry, they make too much for nothing.
Homeless is a direct result of millions of illegal migrants coming into the country with nothing. US citizen resources are being used on illegal migrants. Our citizens are victims of illegal migrants. Billions of dollars have been sent to Ukraine as well. This money could be better spent on helping the quality of life of Americans.
I'm not saying this to be sarcastic. Almost this has been around my most of my entire life. From when I understand homeless mispagen to rise in the eighties. Would you say that illegal immigration has been a huge problem because of that?
@@meggrotte4760the largest population increase in homelessness in the US is elderly women and single women with children. It’s got nothing to with immigration and everything to do with the lack of a social safety net. Ppl like to use immigration and Ukraine as excuses but there’s more than enough money for all of these things, the issue is politics and policies that don’t allow the resources to get where they need. As for what you mentioned, there was a huge increase in homelessness in the 80’s due to Reagan closing and privatising mental institutions, which left thousands of mentally ill and disabled people without any support or shelter.
@AmbassadorKat I'm sure what you say is true but illegal immigration can't be helping either Not to mention illegal immigrations been a huge problem since the eighties If you're taking all those resources which we do have. It's going somewhere else. Not to mention corrupt politicians who don't use it properly. Lots of money is used to deal with homelessness but she's not used to properly.
His one wish to get back with his family? Hell......I would buy him a one way ticket anywhere in the U.S.! Not a big deal? Unless his family has him locked out?
Housing First is creepy. Federal funding for rooms full of seniors that are drunk and high, while they can just go downstairs to the office of social worker annd ask for help. Meanwhile they sign us up to go doc for (fed funded medical stuff) but don't qualify for ex p ensive stuff. Catch 22, if you don't do what the doctors say for like a knee surgery, people can get eyeglasses, etc. But they don't get the big surgeries. Im sober, and still work, its scary.

The ACLU really needs to be told about all this, and take the SDPD on !! They certainly have the clout to force the cops to stop using such abusive tactics. Long overdue. Everyone can email them, and sign or create petitions, to end that sick practice!
I'm not surprised the law enforcement would do that I see it happen every day in San Antonio Texas
*For some reason, I feel like they need to give you the least 24 to 48 hours before coming in removing all debris off of the sidewalk that’s your personal property there’s legal recourse to that they can’t come remove it that day.*
Cruelty is the point
@screenarts
the need for saints is a bottomless pit.
"OH, when the saints go marching in..."
Don't give up, just keep pushing on
It takes money to make money. I pray the best outcome for this gentlemen. The systems in place are not always attainable for the homeles.. Tangible assistance for them to get back on their feet is what works!
❤
God be with you🙏
I hope his wish comes true 💕☘️
I lived in San Diego and it is the worst for homeless people they really make it hard for them.
God Bless Ken and glad to hear that he will soon have a roof over his head. Just a bit of good advice everyone, NEVER leave your personal documents lying around. Keep them with you 24/7 in your bag. Be careful who you trust in this world. God be with you always & allow Jesus into your heart wholeheartedly. God grant you happiness Ken.
Thanks Mark, for the tireless work that you do.
From an Aussie lady downunder! ❤❤ love what you do. You should come over and film people here in Australia who are homeless.
This veteran being homeless is unacceptable! Wth is wrong with people?!? They already fought the fight they should have a nice cozy house paid in full given to them! This is not fair!!! Ive been homeless for over a year. Not a veteran. What happened to America the beautiful? People need to snap out of it. President? Congress? Wake up
Did he say he was a combat vet?
Keep going sir. You will get out of this. You will be ok.
Where is his family ????
Go broke and watch where your family and friends go. Your only welcome if you don't need them for anything and you and your resources available for them if they do. It's a one way street. You fall they walk on you.
@@screenartssad but true, been that broke guy who's " family" turned their back on in my most desperate hours 😔😔
@@screenarts
Exactly!
Family turns their backs on "the black sheep".
It even gets more complicated if their entire family is DEAD!
(Just like mine.)
I feel so sad for this man, that went to fight for this country .😢😢😢
The last time service men served this country was in WW2, a real war, today they serve only the military industrial complex.
Is there a full video where he shared he’s a combat vet? This says nothing about it.
God bless you sweetheart I no what you've going through
❤❤❤ yeah 😢I agree 😢sad... I 🙏 for him and his family!!!... I agree on this homeless crap. I'm homeless right now as well in SLC and I been calling every day to these shelters and as he said they all say differently every single day!! It pisses me off when they know there full but yet they still put me on hold to check their " availability" SMH.. 😮 something needs to change expecially when we really are changing our lives!!
I'm a veteran I've VA and everything because of covid and my disability having PTSD going through Cancer and out of work for 3 years I do not make enough money and my final day for me to be thrown out of my house is September 14
Oh my gushness..... I'm so sorry you went through that... Hotel/apartment vouchers before funding shelters and organizations nationwide in America is the answer... I'm sorry vet :c God will help us all.... And in reality this method I speak of helps the economy, communities including those in a homeless situation... ❤❤❤❤
#HomelessLivesMatter i Agree with Ur #Tshirt #EveryoneDeservesAHome just like #AnimalsDeserveHomes there is #Plenty4All but the #GREEDinPeople Shows More. #GreedyRentsDriveUpHomeless I See #Daily ALL the different Kinds of #HomelessPeople they Not just on the streets or in shelters, They in Motels, Hotels and Automobiles #WakeUPpeople We Got An Issue ❤
💯 correct ❤
I guess one should always keep their documents in a backpack on you all the time.Sad.😢
I was about to say that! Everything valuable stays in a backpack in which stays by my side at ALL times.
Cogratulations !🎉
He looks like Peter Frampton 🎸
Never heard of the S.O.B.
@@KD-nk3ht famous singer/guitarist who sang “I want you to show me the way” “Baby I love your way” “Do you feel like I do” huge hits from the 1970’s
I saw a vice video about that boat situation
Keep voting for the governments who keep this activity up!
I am a homeless Veteran on disability in rural area of Oklahoma. No place to go for help! The nearest VA IS 130 MILES AWAY! NO OTHER HELP I KNOW NO ONE!
I hope that he can get some help to restore his teeth. He seems like a very nice man. He is a nice looking man and would have an easier time gaining employment if his teeth are restored.
Boats aren't polluting the water, but Bureaucrats and Politicians are.😂 Your Government loves you ❤ Prayers to you Brother another Homeless Veteran.
When I become homeless I moved into my sailboat that I had built! The police confiscated my boat , thinking I was some kind of drug smuggler ànd environmental terrorist ! I witnessed a rogue cop smuggling drugs and mentioned it to the wrong person,! All hell broke loss! Got very depressed and went to the V.A. for help! They locked me up on a 72 hour hold saying I was crazy!! Never been in jail or did drugs! Tried to go to court to get my stuff back but to no avail! It was reported that the lawyers cost the taxpayers about $ 400 K to beat me in their coverup! HAS THIS COUNTRY GONE ÑUTS OR IS ME?? I've always been as honest as possible and nearly lost my life for this country. WHAT GIVES??

The homeless always have rotten or missing teeth. Is he retired military? I doubt it...
Sounds like he was in the military sometime during “the Reagan years” which his terms were 1981-1989.
Find this gentleman a dentist. Hevis well spoken, he obviously has skills, and he seams truthful. Unfortionatly, many people will look at his teeth and dismis him for a job, espwcialy one that is customer based . Very sadly, its also a very dangerous health issue. If Ny of the missing teeth become infected, he will be in trouble, all the way to coma or death...
I agree about how missing teeth are perceived, but the reason his teeth are missing is to PREVENT infection.
Broken or cracked teeth are more at risk for infection. To prevent this, they pull them.
The cosmetic and aesthetic issues are very real though.
There are many reasons other than drug and alcohol abuse and too much sugar that can cause cracked teeth.
Mainly, regular dental checkups, cleanings and the ability to afford fixing teeth as the problem arise, is the main reason
It's not affordable for many.
I Lost a job opportunity, because my fingernails were to clean for hard worker! I know for a fact that you can also loose job opportunities by having bad teeth!
Is there any way to get in touch with him?
😢 absolutely heartless 🙏
We have an opportunity today for a chance to help humanity. Elect Dr. Cornel West for president, Green Party.
He has stated cleanly that he will not live in the Whitehouse until these isuues are fixed.
He is a man with a moral compass. America wake up,.
We have to insure that all lives matter.
Thank you both for speaking on homelessness. I hope many people are listening.
People do care.❤
is there a way to donate to these people?
I have a homeless Son with mental health issues and I'm in a situation where I can't let him live with me. It's worrying me to death . His older brother and sister are cruel they don't care at all about him which really angers and disappoints me in them I am ashamed of them . I walk and meet him take him food and drinks gave him a duffle bag on wheels I'm doing everything I can to help him. He has extreme paranoia and is learning disorder and many other issues I realize he is hard to deal with at times but he only needs help long enough to get a job and get himself a place to live. I pray that God opens his family's heart and soul and gets him help.
Praying 🙏. Clearly you care deeply for him, even though your help is limited. i pray that he knows in his spirit he is loved by you and God.
May God inspire the people around him who can help, the resources to do so and the right heart and approach that helps him find safety, some purpose in life that is meaningful .
My mom has the same problem. She's somewhere in olympia she's been gone all week.
She has a house but she's so mentally screwed up that she doesn't stay there.
We live in another state so we can't even help her.
Unfortunately, the law doesn't give us permission to go. Move her down to california and have her forced in to taking her medicine.
She has bipolar. She's been doing this for years..
Having manic episodes
In California there are some new laws pending that will make it where you must go to rehabilitation centers and hospitals for these conditions. In California, only relatives have the legal rights to have this done, unfortunately. Left by themselves in the streets, is why so many get harmed in some way. There are some homeless people,who aren't able to rent or pay bills, because they can't take care of themselves. So they need residential facilities to live in. Lots of money is available for both affordable housing and facilities for those who need them, but because of corruption, the money is stolen continually! Executives and administrators are way overpaid!!! Just research this subject, and you will see for yourselves!
Now I understand, becoming homeless in the United States is the new American dream 🇺🇸
There is no american dream anymore.....it's a nightmare.
@@xXCigarXxcapitalism is a nightmare
You are looking at worst case scenarios. There are positive channels out there that show how the majority of Americans live. This is guy’s story is unfortunate and also very rare in the scope of all Americans in the USA.
@@tmusa2002 What do you meant by saying that?
@@marcopolo3109 I mean look around. The American dream is still alive. There will always be homeless, which is unfortunate, but get out of the ghetto and the American dream is being lived out more often than not. Look at the majority and you won’t make that ignorant statement.
This world is on its way to worse and worse. The Word of God makes it clear, that hearts of many will grow cold, devoid of love in the end days. We are close. Nothing surprises me. Evil is everywhere. It is up to good people to actually make things happen.
💪🐻❤️ I'm quickly getting so disheartened with police anymore. As a matter of fact, I'm disheartened by anyone working for the government. Who gets paid vacation, medical and a cushy paycheck. I'm sorry, they make too much for nothing.
I know how cruel and corrupt San Diego is...I was born and raised there. Now I am in NorCal. I despise Southern California.
Homeless is a direct result of millions of illegal migrants coming into the country with nothing. US citizen resources are being used on illegal migrants. Our citizens are victims of illegal migrants. Billions of dollars have been sent to Ukraine as well. This money could be better spent on helping the quality of life of Americans.
I'm not saying this to be sarcastic.
Almost this has been around my most of my entire life.
From when I understand homeless mispagen to rise in the eighties.
Would you say that illegal immigration has been a huge problem because of that?
@@meggrotte4760the largest population increase in homelessness in the US is elderly women and single women with children. It’s got nothing to with immigration and everything to do with the lack of a social safety net. Ppl like to use immigration and Ukraine as excuses but there’s more than enough money for all of these things, the issue is politics and policies that don’t allow the resources to get where they need.
As for what you mentioned, there was a huge increase in homelessness in the 80’s due to Reagan closing and privatising mental institutions, which left thousands of mentally ill and disabled people without any support or shelter.
@AmbassadorKat I'm sure what you say is true but illegal immigration can't be helping either
Not to mention illegal immigrations been a huge problem since the eighties
If you're taking all those resources which we do have. It's going somewhere else. Not to mention corrupt politicians who don't use it properly.
Lots of money is used to deal with homelessness but she's not used to properly.
How about the billions of dollars going to Israel so they can have a better life then we in the U.S.A.??
I agree with you, except your stance on immigration! Illegals are taking our jobs an driving wages down! I know from first hand experience!!😢
What??????!!!!!!!
So happy for him though
🙏🏾
This is what the. Police dose ,don't want the homeless to get out of the streets 😢 not right...
Mark should really provide us the people he interviews their PayPal, CashApp or Venmo info. I wouldn't mind donating $25 or something.
His one wish to get back with his family? Hell......I would buy him a one way ticket anywhere in the U.S.! Not a big deal? Unless his family has him locked out?
Why aren't any of his FAMILY or FRIENDS allowing him to stay with them?
The hardest document to acquire is a Birth Certificate.
That is the ONLY document that the system refuses to ELECTRONICALLY expedite.
Housing First is creepy. Federal funding for rooms full of seniors that are drunk and high, while they can just go downstairs to the office of social worker annd ask for help. Meanwhile they sign us up to go doc for (fed funded medical stuff) but don't qualify for ex p ensive stuff. Catch 22, if you don't do what the doctors say for like a knee surgery, people can get eyeglasses, etc. But they don't get the big surgeries. Im sober, and still work, its scary.
Egregious!
Yep, that’s my street.
Disabled, veterans, homelessness targeted and now criminalized for being victimized!
The GI Bill VA lender for VA loan look it up ask VA commission officer about COE!!
🙏🙏🙏
If he was a immigrant, the red carpet would of been rolled out for him.
Imagine living in a meritocracy
