    Ithaca's Tent City "THE JUNGLE": Living Homeless Sucks! • Ithaca's Tent City "TH...
    I shot and edited this vlog down and dirty to get it up quick. It may not be the best video production, but the content and what we talked about is what's the most important.
    20 people sleep outside in Ithaca's infamous tent encampment known as "The Jungle." I learned near the end of the video that everyone sleeping outside in the freezing weather has a housing voucher. What they don't have is the support to get out of homelessness into the housing, so they sleep in tents in subzero weather. What does this mean? ITHACA COULD END HOMELESSNESS FOR THESE 20 PEOPLE IF IT WANTED TO!
    It's not that anyone is bad. Homeless services are filled with bureaucracy and are horribly inefficient. The system is also overwhelmed. Added to that there is a severe lack of affordable housing in Ithaca.
    It's not just Ithaca. Social services everywhere have to go by the rules placed onto them by the government and private funders. Funders and the leaders making the decisions are often far removed from front line service. Boxes have to be checked. Data must be collected, and people are reduced to spreadsheets. The problem is that even though people are complex, the solution to getting someone off the streets may be simple yet the system never allows for any flexibility.
    Carmen Guidi and Deb Wilke are doing what they can to fill in the gaps. Carmen owns a body shop. He has no social services training, but when he learned of people sleeping outside in Ithaca homeless, he started to take action to do something. Deb is a mother and a housewife. Her whole family comes out to the Jungle to help their homeless neighbors.
    A highlight to be is a husband and wife volunteering for the first time connected with Carmen after watching Invisible People videos. Carmon goes on to tell the story of a man he met out in the wood last week who was helping homeless people rebuild a shack. The man told Carmen he recognized him from Ivisible People videos, which is what motivated him to go to the Jungle and start helping people.
    This is poverty in America. This is poverty is rural America. Normal citizens are starting to take tangible actions to help end homelessness. As cool as that is, social services needs to be out in Ithaca's tent city working along side people to get them out of tents and into housing!

    About Invisible People:
    Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they're on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as RUclips, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
    Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can't ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation's most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath - its founder - and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America's homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.
    Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.

    This is so great...I have been in a wheelchair, to a walker....to now walking alone....why because of Invisible people. I always advocated for the living rough...but was in an accident, and unable to even walk...and it was so frustrating, with low funds to boot....Mark and these beautiful souls...gave me the hope and determination to fight, so I can get out and help.. I am doing everything, I can, even with little things....just to put a smile on someone's face. I know it's not going to end this horrible thing called homelessness....But I'm trying to do what I can to help. My prayers and love to Mark , your mom..hope she is getting better and your tribe of angles, housed and unhoused..xx

      I’m taking care of my girlfriend with schizophrenia (and I tried some of the antipsychotics myself)

      - with these medications it is very difficult to focus or get things done for normal people
      I just want to know how much % of homeless people are sane and how much are due to mental health issues

      @@menuhin Sane is a legal term. Most people have issues with thoughts and emotions to differing degrees. I don't believe mentally ill people were just lounging on the sides of the roads and back in the woods unable to focus and accomplish things until the medications were introduced in like the 1950's.
      They used to keep undesirables locked up, now they just dump them on the streets with chemical lobotomies, and they don't know how to function in the world. People with focus might be homeless for a while and then figure out a way to get back into housing.

      I’m not saying I’m on the same page with mental health medication
      Diagnosis is also just a medical definition, not just the word “sane”. Please watch the documentaries and training videos when they interview schizophrenic patients, my point is, these are clearly mentally ill people that one cannot even have making-sense conversations with, like in these videos.

Bringing her children to help with this is what all of us mothers should be teaching our children. Give back to others. If you are blessed with income, money, give some back to others. I wish we weren’t on social security. I wish I had more money to help others. Lastly I wish housing for all the homeless. These are my three wishes, Mark.

    This is a dog eat dog world and some people just want to drop out of society. Like when they go for housing and no one helps them actually get in the housing, they just give up. You deal with rude landlords, disrespectful neighbors, keeping up the apartment, and it is too much stress. You have to really have a lot of ambition to go from being homeless to getting into housing and staying there. These people are often alone with no support systems like family and friends. When things go wrong, no one is there to help out.

      except thats not the problem. The problem is drug addicts dont like living with people who have "rules" that interfere with thier addictions, so they seek a place where rules like "dont do heroin" are not enforced. These zones should be eliminated, not encouraged.

    Does the Cornell University community do anything to fundraise and support the homeless? My hometown is Kingston Ontario (Canada) and the local school (Queen's University), does stuff to raise funds and help shelters, etc in the city.

      Yes. Recently during extreme cold temps the students helped Ithaca Homeless Crisis create an emergency fundraiser that raiser approximately $3,500! In addition, students are volunteering, leading workshops addressing housing instability and homelessness, and creating social media videos to increase awareness and promote advocacy.

    Bravo to everybody that's helping the homeless way to go Mark and Carmin and it's incredible you're out there doing what you do. The way you talk to people with respect and respect them by not filming unless they want you too and laughing and enjoying the day as you're doing you're donating of the propane tanks in tents and Waters and things it's just amazing I wish Petoskey Harbor Springs area could do this kind of stuff to I don't believe we do if we do I'd like to get involved closer I'm not close to Traverse City but bravo to what you're all doing.

    Most of the people around the table, didn't want that to happen. That tells me that those people are greedy aholes that don't have a heart. Atleast the mayor did something.

      @archetypex65 5 лет назад +3

      I think those people who didn't want it to happen are not just greedy but suffer from psychosis. These people have entitlement mentality they have lack of empathy and a lack of morals and ethics. And by definition that is a classic sociopath. One of the things that most people fail to realize is that government is mostly made up of sociopaths this is true for local governments to the federal level. Society itself is basically no good. Yes there are some really good people out there who want to help and who volunteer but the majority of society are apathetic and a large segment is sociopathological in nature. Obviously varying levels you have your nondescript mostly harmless sociopath but then as these people get higher up in the ranks We're talking about full-blown psychopathological beings who are a detriment to society.

    I love how your videos can help make such a huge difference to people's lives. I think, globally, house properties are beyond a lot of people's reach. This is skyrocketing upwards all the time. What is needed is a cap on rents and social housing. It's the richest countries that have the largest homeless populations. They should be ashamed to say that they are first world countries, when they have people living in third world conditions.

    Shout out to the home schooling mom for having a compassionate heart for the less fortunate. Yeah, gathering empty aluminum cans n bottles is fiercely
    Competitive amongst the homeless where I live and not bad money since the nickel increase to a dime for each can or bottle recycled. I've had to scavage for them just on occasion to afford half n half for my coffee and I'd have to walk n walk till I hit the jack pot. So glad that one lady is getting into housing and not all of us have a strong support system of family or even friends to help us in our times of need so advocate workers are truly doing gods work. Keep up the great work Mark!! Hope

    Thanks for all you do because you never give up and still doing great things...So glad that someone like you is out here documenting and making a difference...My only suggestion is (and at the end of the day it doesn't negate your great deeds) but you can see some people on the video shots with you are uncomfortable because you put your face so unnecessarily close to theirs that I'm sure they can feel and smell your breath bud.. lol I'm not trying to be mean, just constructive criticism...You have a really bad habit of it...Either way the point of your video is being made which is awesome, but you should learn to respect people's space a little more especially the such near face to face can be felt as very intrusive...I love what you are doing but if you stayed in my face like that an entire interview I wouldn't enjoy it much and would probably be distracted from the nature of the video/interview... Much love..

    A couple of years ago we had to find a friend of mines mother I grew up with. She was homeless. She was a high school nurse. Anyway, this was in Saratoga and Schenectady. We met up with and found her friend first who brought us to her. There was a tent city behind a price chopper in Saratoga. My friend who went to art school tried to start a program called homeless helpers. It was to try to get businesses to put a sticker in their window to show that they were friendly to helping homeless from anything like a bathroom or to helping fill out paper work. Paperwork for treatment food or homes can be very hard. Even the phones they give only have a certain amount of time and half that time if not all is spent on hold. Her mother is not homeless anymore. Some of the people she met with her mom and took beautiful pics of have died since. It’s a sad situation.

    I wonder how many get housing but cannot maintain it. I experience this a lot. I know of people who get housing 100% rent free but lose it due to unpaid utilities or breaking the rules of the housing authority. In my experience it’s less about lack of housing and more about mental health and addiction. Even exploitation sometimes will get people evicted.

    What an amazing guy Carman is. Building those small cottages on his own property to house 18 people at the last count. He even went to the mayor I believe and offered to build many more at one of the homeless camp sites, but was refused as they didn't want to make it a permanent site, but these would be smart properties which would be going a long way to giving many people a safe place to live away from the elements and give them safety and security and it wouldn't have cost the local government any money. Makes no sense. From London, UK.

    Mark please come to massachusetts. In a town near me my homeless friend Gary said they have many people watiing for housing. Gary is 17 on the list so that probably means 10yrs from now. In the meantime he lives in his pickup truck for the past 2yrs. I think if every people in every town and state in America adopts one homeless person this would be great. So we can show the Govt how its done. THanks for what you do.
