I wish Tucson would make an apartment complex for only women who are on low income and/or homeless.
Bless this place and these women💗💗💗
Same here. I’ve seen it with my own eyes and yes I intervened…men in long term care facilities STILL harassing women in their old age..I went dafuq off (for work) and told that man that NOT ON MY WATCH WILL I SIT BY AND DO NOTHING. I had the power of a pen…and I used it. He would call them names and it was usually the women who had cognitive issues that he would bother, so he thought he could get away with it. Not today Sir…not today. Tbf it was one man out of 22 males but that is one man too many for me. Like can a woman ever get peace? Good grief! For the people wondering what he did he would call women names and just be in their face and verbally abusive. Like an old bully with no shame.
That would be nice!
Yet the cities house illegals mostly males of working age. They need to be separate from vulnerable women. Why don’t they.
The 87 years old broke my heart to hear that and she is blind too
Unimaginable and unacceptable in the world's richest country.
💯, we hide to keep ourselves safe. I was homeless for almost 2 years living in my car. The number one priority is staying safe and out of sight as much as possible. Stay strong.❤
Right and nowadays even staying safe is very hard to do living in the car it’s so dangerous
Being homeless is a HELL!
Last year Sister Jose's was there when my mom and I needed them, with our 2 dogs and a cat, they help provide us a safe place and I was able to go to work and save up money and not have to worry about my mom who is on Oxygen and my animals while I was out! Thank you again to Sister Jose for all you have blessed us with and the hope that you provided!
Thank God 🙏 for sister Jose center
God bless all the volunteers womans, you are doing amazing jobs. Thank you.
If I get some money I will help women shelters. We need family shelters, and single women and men shelters. That are not dangerous.
Yes.
A lot of the shelters are BAD, Jail like like prisons
The staff stole all my stuff twice never going back again
May God bless these wonderful women who are helping other women.
✝️🛐
We have money to put migrants in hotels, yet we have very little for struggling American citizens. That poor woman is working and paying taxes. Her tax dollars are going to house others while she can't get help. This is insanity!!!!
We need better people leading our states and country.
@proteus2892 Yes! Totally agree with you.
I think attacking migrants is a cheap shot a weak argument that folks love throwing around now … I really do …
Bottom line the United States is a business not a country of citizens.. the country does not care about the working poor which is most of us .. the cost of housing is criminal that don’t have a damn thing to do with migrants
Greed greed greed
THIS IS WHAT I HATE ,WE ELECT POLITICIANS THAT TALK BUT NOTHING GET DONE ,LIBERALS POLITICIANS ARE SENDING BILLIONS TO OTHER COUNTRIES BUT CARING FOR USE
This been going on for decades. Back in the days the news did report on it and social media was non-existent. This was a problem on displacing African Americans now it has transpired to other communities. This is happening in all of Europe as well. Immigration multicultural was a bad idea. Back in the days, Americans never worried about housing nor food...those are necessities. 🥺 Damn
Amazing this should be worldwide because all over the world homelessness is growing exponentially. God bless all volunteers and the women at the shelter.
You god sure didnt bless the homeless women. What a cruel god you worship.
End homelessness!!!!! Thank for all you do💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Only if you don’t do drugs and alcohol
HOUSING FIRST USA
Homeless women need a shower, clothes washed, and to let them sleep.
I've been there. Working and still homeless. It sucks. God bless these good people.
Me too.
Application fees should be illegal.
They are a scam. I've been a Property Manager. A credit check costs $7.00, a criminal background check costs $11.00. There is NO way that a $18.00 fee couldn't just be added into the first month's rent, instead of an upfront fee.
@@NoliMeTangere1163yeah that’s a small amount. The problem comes when poor credit people put in 20 applications and lose that money. That’s like 400$ they can’t afford to lose. However they have poor credit or bad rental history.
Congratulations on trying to help unhoused women. The fact that our country allows homelessness is shameful and unnecessary.
She worked check to check. She doesn’t have any money to move.
this breaks my heart. im glad this place exists.
Shame on the government
The government got money for everything else but not the homeless just sick
♥️🙏♥️
Shame on the government but also shame on us. We are all responsible towards our neighbors.
If women and seniors voted every election in their best interests homelessness in US would end.
Shame on every landlord who rented for $450 here in Tucson in 2019...who now charges $900 for the same apartment.
Thank God for this centre it is hard when you are homeless
If there were motel buildings that could be repurposed into small efficiencys that were affordable would be a good thing.
I’m so glad they offer this program to women. It’s a shame that an 87 year old women blind on the streets. Wake up America we need to help are own not migrants but or own.
This should be all over so sad seeing this rent is high food is high very hard living today retirement is not much this is happening all over god bless these women who have open up thses shelters god bless hope there are more in other states
I'm a woman in Pima county homeless and tomorrow the junker comes for my car. It will be a relief because car insurance is tripled if the insurance companies become suspicious you are homeless. Tucson roads are so bad that the car is just shot. Its a shame tho that men can get into this homeless place for women and also have a man's facility here in Tucson. More of us women are rough sleeping and there are rapists out here. One woman had her jaw broken. But make sure these men's virtues are protected at the cost of women.😢
Women in late 80s homeless dumped from convalescent homes and hospitals
Prayer you get help.
Car insurance actually raised for everyone. It's because of 1. All these EVs are so expensive to fix. Plus, they are so heavy, they total other vehicles.
2. All these POS that are allowed to keep stealing and wrecking vehicles. They are not held accountable and jailed. So they continue stealing vehicles.
I absolutely agree that it's abhorrent that men are allowed to stay here with vulnerable women. This is not a safe space for women if they allow men pretending to be women in there.
I wish you the best of luck getting into a better situation and life❤
I wish there were networking sites that could offer also cooperative houses to women in need. Sharing a house with other women, in other words, communal living, can be an answer for many, economically, socially, and in so many ways. Having "a room of one's own" in a shared environment (with good house rules!) can provide so much.
Thanks for helping WOMEN!! The way things are going,we all will be homeless!!😮 Get a to - Go - be ag ready!!😮😢
You guys are amazing!! Thank you for giving these women hope❤
Tucson thanks 4 the funding 2 help these girls 👍
It cost me $675 in application/other fees October of 2023 to apply for an apartment for me and my son luckily I still had a credit card at the time and sold property just so we could rent something! They're going up on the rent so we'll be looking for something cheaper again.
Each and every life needs hope🌹
Yes, I was briefly a part of that homeless dynamic.. The rental home I lived in for seven yrs was sold. During that period the cost of housing skyrocketed. When I locked the door to that house for the last time, I had no where to go. Miraculously within several hrs I had a roof over my head… a lot smaller, more expensive and not close to being as nice as my previous dwelling. Being old, female, and on a fixed income does not allow many options. That is the sad truth here in the USA. Older women are much more vulnerable. This nation should be ashamed.
So very happy for this...lived temporarily in Tucson and loved it but couldn't afford it... noticed how many women homeless...rode the bus... listened to so many stories
Thank you, Sister Jose's Women Center. Thank you for giving people a chance; a person without a home is vulnerable and not at fault of what happened. EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, has a right to live in a safe home, regardless of their income. Not having a home, or a place to live is a tremendous act of cruelty that cannot be allowed anymore. There is absolutely no reason for this to keep happening. Any one of us (any) could lose our home to a greedy, real state predator, on a whim of an individual. Let's come together, brave; let's give a hand to places like this, volunteer, reach out. Let's practice our principles of generosity, our ideals of bravery and courage, and get involved in our communities, organize, propose, vote. Let's make it so that no other person or family loses their home ever again. May my good Lord bless you all, and especially you, Sister Jose's Women Center. I hope you inspire more and more people, and everyone you help gets to live a happy life.
Also, to the resident giving her testimony; you're an amazing and precious woman. I don't even know you and I think you're reall neat and cool! I hope you get back on your feet again, full of love and support. May all the blessing rain on you 🤗
What kind of country lets their elderly lived unhoused and on the streets??? FIXED Social Security and horrible inflation! God is watching all of this. Greedy politicians, developers, real estate, landlords...someday, you will have to answer for this.
They will be going somewhere very very hottt
Murica!
Thank God ❤
God....he isn't doing anything...thank the donations and work of good humans....
Women need all the help they can get these days!❤🇨🇦
Finland fixed their homeless population. Not through government agencies but the private sector. We need to help 🙏✝️😥❤️
Thank you 🙏 For sister Jose Center. All states need placed like this. So many women and children suffer 😞. God bless your heart ❤️ praying ❤️ to keep this program going 🙏❤️
Im a 57yo woman. My husband committed suicide in 2020. I didn't want to return to the apartment where my husband's body lay so i left to find out that the pandemic had created so many people homeless. Im a veteran and even though i work full time- there is no place for me in America. Its too expensive and now im looking for another country. Taking my skills- college education and MY TAXES WITH ME!!
Btw- there are barely any services for women! This woman from 7-Eleven is what a broken Spirit looks like I hope this poor girl finds peace because she is exactly how I was in the beginning of my experience where's work surrounding myself with positive people who are actually moving in the right direction my spirit is lifting I'm getting a clear picture of exactly what I want now
❤I can’t believe this is in the United States of❤ AMERICAN my Heart is broken❤the 87 ❤yrs blind❤ I can feel her pain. I wish❤ I could make ❤miracles❤
I hope we can make families stronger. Financially discourage family disintegration and financially encourage family togetherness. This one person per unit of housing is too risky.. one illness and one will be on the street due to no family sharing costs and household labor... need more 3 generations together....aunts, uncles, siblings and so on sharing household costs and labor..
very sad , but also very
uplifting, there is good people in this world , its easy to forget that sometimes
😊🙏
God bless this organization and the women who uses shelter.
This is happening all over the United States. We need a new president that cares about us. This one gives all our money away to wasteful causes while innocent people are suffering. It's only getting worse with the out-of-control inflation. Groceries, housing, etc. out of control. Whole families are now living out of their cars in some cases.
If you’re thinking Republicans will help,that just a joke.
Republicans will make the situation only worse.
You speak the truth. 🙌💯
This problem has been a major issue since the Great Depression in the 1930s. If you think a Republican president is the answer then you haven’t been following what the Republicans concern themselves with,which is protecting the Rich in America and their interests.
Social Security was NEVER meant to be the ONLY source of income for Senior Citizens. Sadly many seniors failed to plan for their own retirement and now they don’t have enough money to live comfortably.
People need to begin planning for their retirement while they are in their 20’s. Even a small savings over a long period of time helps a great deal.
Inflation and costs are NOT controlled by the office of the president.
It is determined by a number of factors. The economy is affected by many factors some of which are influenced by World events.
No politician is going to care. They have everything and even more. They golf in exclusive clubs , eat in fancy restaurants and vacation in luxury resorts! They have NO IDEA of the life of people who trying to make it day to day!
Tell me how do you save when living pay check to paycheck?
Thank you for your kindness and support.❤
This is so sad because our government will help others all around the world. Before they have their own citizens out. It's just crazy it is so backwards. We are protesting for others around the world. When American citizens are literally falling down and sleeping on sidewalks. No other country would do what we do for others. Without doing the same for their own citizens. I don't understand it somebody please make it make sense. Why are we trying to look good for everybody else but bad for our own citizens. We will make sure others that come to this country. Have a place to live. This is so frustrating it pisses me off the citizens of America. How to live like this and we have so many homes.😡
America is truly effed up , no woman should be on the street , rents are increasing everywhere. God bless these volunteers
Noone should be on the street men, women, and children yet most o. The streets are women minorities some not addicts or mentally ill most sorry to say are
No one owes you anything
@reedre6177 Livable wages, universal healthcare & affordable housing. This is something worth fighting for. If you don't like it, cope.
Thank you for helping Americans.
God Bless this shelter, may they continue to flourish and grow. Strength and power to these ladies.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THANK YOU WOMENS SHELTER ❤❤
Wonderful service and band of women ❤
May God bless them all every single day 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️
This is a light in such dark times . ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing work!
Thankful for this place. ❤❤❤
God bless you sisters helping sisters
A global crises! Endless greed is the problem, when when the politicians wake up??????
This is a very inspiring video.Thanks for making this public.
One problem is lack of public transit.Cars are very expensive.
I live in a city.If I had to own a car I would be in big trouble financially.Car ownership and maintenance is very expensive.
May God bless them 🙏 Amen
There is not enough GOOD People who do charity work because unfortunately it has also become big business to many criminals looking to serve themselves. I think this Womens Center is fantastic and hopefully they can do more and grow as a program nationwide... God works through people!
Many Blessings to all that are involved in helping the homeless… For having compassion and support should not cost much effort! So many are still struggling in silence..
Bless. Humanity needs humanity.
Wow this is an amazing place for women ❤
I feel we don't have enough and in some cases, nothing like this. 20 years ago we had more nonprofits like these, where we are heading now is not good
❤amen holy holy holy holy father thank u I humblely pray with pure and purity of heart for us all equally heavenly Father that others stand up and b and do right n rightoues too n be leaders from u and ur example amen
God bless you and all these women you are helping they deserve it so much ❤✝️🙏🏽💯
Thank you for sharing
Richest country in the world. Billionaires that don't pay their fair share of taxes and we have people living on the streets. People who have nothing. No place to live.
Get real
Great job ladies
God bless each onw of you
As a former homeless heterosexual female I hope that this unhoused woman are grateful to those who treat them with respect, unlike the women from the shelter that I been residing here in California, as well as the co-ed shelter I resided before finding women shelter.,
Why tell us your sexuality?
God, bless you all better day's are coming
Hope there will be more shelters for the homeless . Heartbreaking to watch.
Sounds like mine renovating a 100 year old building many on sect 8 some in wheelchairs use walkers being given 30 day notices to vacate many in this place for years others going to be homeless again and no plans to relocate these residents
Where are the Us Government doing to support these poor people?? The rich getting richer!!! Unbelievable what’s great about the USA🤔😳😳
😢 my heart …. This is horrific
🫢🙏✝️💗
The same is happening in the uk! Totally agree safety net needs to be widened!
Touching words: Hopefully we will be out of business because everyone will be housed., Amen to that.,
Sadly, based on repeated misconduct it might never happen.,
We need new people running the city .. They should have taken one of the hundreds of closed schools and opened it up for shelters. We approved Proposition 407, a $225 million bond for fixing up city parks surely some of that could be spent for helping out these women. Especially the elderly ..
Great place
The country of Finland houses all their homeless!! We can do that!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I pray the peace of our Lord Jesus always rest in them all in the mighty name of Jesus.❤
I wish there was one in Oklahoma City
I don't understand why shelters don't use bunk beds. They could double their sleeping capacity. They can have more secure steps to the top bunk. In this way, the bottom bunk could have curtains around it for privacy, which would be SO nice.
Hostels do this. Less privacy and many older women can’t get to the top bunk due to health issues.
Tolles Projekt, tolle Mitarbeiter - DANKE!
This is tragic in reputedly the wealthiest country in the world. Increase wages for those working, to encourage unemployed to work and to give them the means to find housing.
No, China is
That's a scam making application fees 300-400$ and I guess they are not refundable.
heart breaking
I cant believe theres a charge just to submit an application! ridiculous! how is anyone meant to get ahead!
THIS IS so scary AND sad!...The new homeless people are now the elderly, women, VETS, and disabled!....
This is heart breaking 💔
THIS SHOULD.BE.ALL ACROSS THE.UNITED ST!TES❤❤❤❤❤
I’d love to donate my time to an organization like this in Albuquerque NM. 💕
All part of the plan.The nonstop wars,fake flu etc are more important and the super rich need that new mansion that they visit every year or two.
God bless the sister Jose center, all of them are angels 😇
God Bless You all .
You all are Precious to love others.❤️💕
So SAD THAT GREED SEEM TO BE THENROOT OFNALL THESE MISERIES.. PRAYERS to you all.
God Bless You All 🙏✝️
Blessings 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I wonder if some of the women could do rental share/being roommates?
Our country and our government should be ashamed we have no problem running to help other countries that only hate us but our citizens are living in the streets terrified cold and hungry the only crime of these homeless people is being homeless they can no longer afford to live in their own country and we are locking them up for being homeless because they have nowhere else to go and can't afford to go anywhere else are government needs to take accountability for our citizens and get affordable housing for our citizens
