"Can't assume what people want just because we would want that." This quote sums up a core issue in dealing with homelessness. Too many people working on solving homelessness think they know what's best, rather than listening.
It actually makes me angry because it's so common sense. How can shelters kick people out at 5:00 a.m. and then expect them to have a productive day lugging all their belongings everywhere?
Right. What can they do productive if they have to lug their belongings everywhere during the time of day when they should be able to get things taken care of to maybe move towards getting off the street permanently if they choose to.
They need to find their own way. What's damaging is holding their hand every step of the way, these are not kids. These people need to make better life choices even if it hurts their ego.
Most homeless people in Florida have jobs. They are the clerks at Walmart and retail stores. They cook your McDonald's. Their employers only hire part-time for full-time businesses so they don't have to pay benefits. Congress agrees with the employers because they refuse to pass laws requiring full time businesses to hire full time workers, or pay enough to rent an apartment.
Hands down this has to be one of the better ideas that I've seen in a long time to help our fellow man and woman that is struggling with homelessness. This gives them an opportunity to feel safe they have somewhere to go that's warm and they can have camaraderie and counseling just seems like this is a good idea. Yes there's always going to be hiccups Growing Pains for a new program. But this from standing on the outside looking in I think this is a good start very very good start I would like to help and support this keep up the good work God bless everyone. Just my opinion Joe Dirt west rim Arizona.
Wow!! Bless Robby for her inspiration and a great model for the nation to find a safe refuge for these men and women to feel like themselves again and granted them the freedom to make their own curfew and with just a little restricted rules Wich is an excellent remedies for them to find comfort and a warm and secure spot rather than on the street feeling hopeless . My heart rejoice of happiness to sees that a humans beeing has been fed , clothes , and a safety spot to lay down at night until they had their own permanent housing . Pure love from Roby what she has in store , God bless Robby and her endeavors!💖💖💖💖🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
They will destroy any housing you put them in because they are addicts.Sadly, nowadays street homeless are drugs addicts, and they are addicted to cocktail of nasty chemicals such as fentanyl, horse tranquilizer, elephant tranquilizer, sedative benzo, rat poison, nitazenes chemicals, P2P based meth, wasp dope, and other nasty stuff. That is in the pills they smoke all the time. They are quickly damaged mentally and physically beyond the point of repair. Street addicts gradually destroy everything around themselves. The only thing they really wanna is to be as close as possible to their fentanyl dealers. If they are functional, they work as fentanyl dealers till they get zombified. We will never reduce street homelessness without reducing the amount of fentanyl and other nasty drugs available on our streets.
It's mainly because of drugs. I rather actually give money to someone who won't flush it down the homeless toilet. How much more are you willing to take out of you wallet to help the homeless?
We have a lot of empty warehouses in my city. Building is very aggressive here, but they either sit empty because they can't lease them out or a business that was there goes bankrupt and the warehouse just sits there empty. And the shelters here kick you out by 7am. Breakfast is at 6am. Even if you have a place where you can leave your stuff, they still make you leave unless the weather is really bad or its the weekend.
Thank you for that. I'm glad you were paying attention. I work for a nonprofit and we get homeless who won't even sleep in the bed we provide them in their own bedroom that they share with one other person. They would rather sleep on the floor. Some don't want to come off the streets because they can do what they want - like she said (no restrictions)
What a great story Liz. This lady is on to something. Could be a great pilot program. I hope they don't do anymore covid19 lockdowns or close any more business. I hope this program is multiplied. Jesus said feed my sheep. Best to you, Dave from Sebastopol
No, they will take everything. I work at a non-profit and we have two homeless women taking everything we leave out. The even jumped the fence to take a flag.
I like this. I would also like tiny homes. This would be an interesting case study. The worst thing with homelessness is having to carry around your stuff while you go out and look for work or try to get services. I like this.
Wichita falls texas has a empty hotel I wish they would use it for the homeless it would benefit so many people here and in the small surrounding cities thank you for all that you do for these people just because they are homeless does not mean they are not human !
better yet city employees leve their city hall office at 5:00 pm give 2 hours for the janitor to clean and tidy up and from 7 pm to 7 am let the unhoused take over the building and sleep there at night it's win win
Next step is to up-skill these people looking for a fresh start and get them back into society again with a new sense of independence. Break the cycle of being able to earn a wage and stay off the streets.
Wow much needed!best solution in l0ng time!all people should be treated how we all want and best way to I understand is spend a nite homeless and it will change how u view life or if u work at one of these places will change hiw u run these places good work to woman giving help to all the people who need it
"homeless don't want to go to shelters" well if any actually existed then we'd probably want that very much. But regardless, she is still correct about the major flaws that exist in the few remaining shelters that do still exist
This is a great way to help transition people back on track. The only challenging issue think would be deciding who will stay in there. There are so many different types of homelessness. Priority should go to the ones with children and elderly. 😕
I've been having conversations with the homeless for decades, in Berkeley and Oakland. They ARE my neighbors, after all, and some of them have interesting stories. Countless men, even the old, ailing ones have said, "Nah, I don't feel right going to the shelter. That needs to be for the mamas and babies." 💔
This is an excellent solution for the homeless folks I wish every community with a start a project like this and try to end the homeless for a very long time but I've got Is housing and I've been inside for 5 years
One of the easiest things to do in the world and the councils haven't got a clue it's astonishing how these people don't seem to have a brain. And it's taken one woman's initiative to be able to do this for people Why don't the council build some more buildings like this and do the same. But it seems to be too hard for them to do that
Took her 40+ years to realize that central planning doesn't work and that people value freedom. Amazing. Maybe she can get the rest of Berkeley to figure out that individuals need to be empowered, rather than assuming the government knows what's best for them.
Finally a place that they don’t treat you like a child I mean if is not illegal through state or federal law they you should be able to do it in a shelter but in the other hand you can’t a force someone to go on rehab because that’s valutary
this is under the 'rebuilding together' organization, a national non-profit for 40 years. lots of sponsors, donations, and, of course, government funding, this coming from HUD. i don't know what the break-down is. while it's great when something like this works, still some things to note, like we don't know what the success rate is (or what 'success' truly even means) -- it's a pilot program that obviously services a very few people, so the success rate at the early stages is going to be a lot higher in the beginning. i understand the concept of trying to reintroduce people back into a conventional lifestyle, but i don't know how effective it really is with such a small sample size and i don't know if these people are hand-picked to show proof of concept or what. i'll be honest, i trust a homeless charity less than i do goodwill or the union i'm forced to work in, especially when there's government funding involved. this is a ridiculous amount of space in one of the most expensive cities in america that's essentially a variation of no tell hotels. it's easier to help people who want to change, but if all it winds up being is providing temporary shelter until they get bored and go back out onto the streets after the 'gimmes' are helped into a more permanent shelter, then that's a waste of money. there really is little if any success in these cities. once you find the relatively few out of tens of thousands who want to get clean, get a job, and live in an actual home, they wouldn't be able to afford living in these cities anyway. people with good jobs can't afford there. the city closest to me is dayton, so those people actually stand a fighting chance not to live on subsidies if they can find an apartment and have some help getting started. that's not the case in CA cities. the end goal isn't achievable there without the welfare system.
I saw a beautiful homeless girl and asked if I could take her out on a date. She politely accepted and enjoyed herself. Soon after I asked if I could take her home, she smiled and nodded her head. Her smile disappeared when she saw me running away with her cardboard box..
Problem is there is a lot of entitlement out there but no gratitude. And the dissent against authority figures. If people are screw ups in their life, then comply with people who are helping you unscrew yourself. Is it mental illness these people have or they just anarchistic non-conformists?
This is nothing more than being spoon fed "HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHT!". When they get housed they think of it as something that they were entitled to in the first place, no gratitude needed.
@@Ap_twsh It's all about bleeding hearts and virtue signaling. I am pretty sure the advocates would never let such squatters live near their doorsteps. It's NIMBY and just another containment zone.
I’m confused Berkeley the famous name of the high end school for riches people and next to them are a lot of homeless people???? Just like silicone valley the famous city for high tech industry with a lot of engineers living in the van or rv van !!!
Back in the old days you tried to get everyone employed. There are menial jobs, there used to be factory jobs-before China. We didn’t have this problem
give me a break ,,the first time i drove through skid row los Angeles as a kid was1963/...the problem existed then...instead of tents, it was cardboard boxes
Yes that is a real problem with a no brainer shelter bring your tent sleeping bag Trash and drugs with you no curfew no set time it be in at night Just enough time to get your few hits off the foil or crack pipe at 2am why not another hit a 3:30am
Exactly. Stop ruining my home state and city by just sending all your addicts and criminals here. We don’t have space for them and we’re tired of being threatened by their mental unwellness and drug addictions and violence. Make bad MEN leave, send them back to TEXAS
@@propblast82nd not if there’s nothing but violence and worsening sanitary conditions on the streets because there’s so many unhoused, mentally ill and violent people not having their basic needs met and terrorizing the community regardless of whether you are house or not. As a native Cali girl, I’ve basically tried to relocate multiple times in the last decade due to housing scarcity insanity and just getting screwed cuz everywhere else sucks!But it’s definitely the end of the line for the entire country, so they are pushing local animal rescue advocate low income people and teachers out and letting bad explorer men stay. Tbh I just realized there’s all these train systems that go everywhere. Specifically the California Zephyr straight to Utah. Last time I drove through SLC it was a tweaker dumping ground so I guess it’s a whole ongoing copout to just shuttle your unwanteds on to the next “tolerant place” for meth heads. At some point you either need to get help or you need to stop ruining everyone else’s quality of life by making your problems there’s. I’ve been basically fighting to stay out of homelessness just having to constantly displace myself to escape drug addicts and STUPID OVERCONFIDENT MEN whether they are housed and normal people or even bosses. Alcoholics and drug addiction specifically meth and heroin basically fuels and motivates so much of the crime that keeps happening. How many more catalytic converters do I need to watch be stolen on my block by tweekers while I fear for my life. Idk how people sustain doing hard drugs their whole lives it’s insane, most of them are in a death spiral and we’re just here experiencing their downward trajectory and bad behavior. I’m from the bay, I have trauma, I’ve spent the majority of my life in poverty trying to make enough money on terrible wages with terrible abusive bosses and insane rents jacked up by transplants who moved here to make a profit. I’ve been attacked by the lower and the upper classes my whole life. I’ve experimented with hard drugs and I’ve never ended up addicted to anything chemical. I smoke weed and drink occasionally but that’s it. How many of these people were basically born into drug addiction, left creepy cults, abused and sexually assaulted as children by the church!? And then leave them to terrorize the rest of the hard working and good hearted endlessly compassionate community of true Bay Area natives and the people who come here and adopt our egalitarian ways. This place is destroyed because it became the dumping ground for a society that uses scapegoats as its punching bag for problems that are way bigger and systemic than just people behaving badly. I mean this is why abortion rights being challenged is a mess. So many of these people probably never had a healthy home. Which is why women need more agency over there lives and BODIES!!! HELLO. Give women housing and protect them from bad men. It’s really that simple but they won’t do it. They know keeping women powerless is the only way they will be able to keep the “birth rate up” so they can profit from more and more sick humans. I’m disgusted.
Its great BUT you have to pay for the warehouse, showers lockers and labor to manage and clean its way over 10k per month, I think instead have inexpensive movable lockable fire proof tiny homes on differant empty lots in every county in the us with cameras to monitor and more self regulated maybe 100 homes per acre. There is nothing in the constitution that anyone has to supply housing to anyone that is why people have families and jobs and dont do drugs so they can get away from that chaos and thats why china sells all the cheap crap and its to employ people to get them off the streets. bring back manufacturing.
This looks like an excellent first step.
No its just another idea that enables them. And they wonder why they have streets lined with tents for miles. They go where the freebies are.

I’ve been attacked by the lower and the upper classes my whole life. I’ve experimented with hard drugs and I’ve never ended up addicted to anything chemical. I smoke weed and drink occasionally but that’s it. How many of these people were basically born into drug addiction, left creepy cults, abused and sexually assaulted as children by the church!? And then leave them to terrorize the rest of the hard working and good hearted endlessly compassionate community of true Bay Area natives and the people who come here and adopt our egalitarian ways. This place is destroyed because it became the dumping ground for a society that uses scapegoats as its punching bag for problems that are way bigger and systemic than just people behaving badly. I mean this is why abortion rights being challenged is a mess. So many of these people probably never had a healthy home. Which is why women need more agency over there lives and BODIES!!! HELLO. Give women housing and protect them from bad men. It’s really that simple but they won’t do it. They know keeping women powerless is the only way they will be able to keep the “birth rate up” so they can profit from more and more sick humans. I’m disgusted.
Someone will ruin it soon
That is a good idea
I saw crazy homeless camps in Oakland

Its great BUT you have to pay for the warehouse, showers lockers and labor to manage and clean its way over 10k per month, I think instead have inexpensive movable lockable fire proof tiny homes on differant empty lots in every county in the us with cameras to monitor and more self regulated maybe 100 homes per acre. There is nothing in the constitution that anyone has to supply housing to anyone that is why people have families and jobs and dont do drugs so they can get away from that chaos and thats why china sells all the cheap crap and its to employ people to get them off the streets. bring back manufacturing.
