It's way safer as well. Statistics show that it is safer for a woman to live in a car than it is for her to go to a shelter, nevermind living on the street or in a tent ⛺ pitched who knows where. More and more senior citizens are finding themselves homeless simply because they can't afford the basic necessities yet they "make" too much money to get state assistance, or they don't make enough money to get help. They fall through the cracks in the very programs that were designed to help people like this. Trust me, going hungry most days and nights.....it is as bad for the sick & elderly as it is for kids.
" Getting only what you need and leave the rest for others." if all people did not have the desire of taking more than what they need, there is enough food to feed the world. there are cultural foods and widely grown foods like corn, beans, ...most staples. it seems most other resident of the village aren't as keen on growing stuff and keeping up appearances as is the old time resident .. i live in eugene and still there dozens and dozens of people on the street. i went to my dentist.. got there early before my appt and some of the mental health clients were getting antsy and one guy kept touching one of the women and he was just babbling. she couldn't keep him off of her. i had her scoot over and i sat down between them. he was babbling at me and touching me. i just looked at him and asked "REALLY!?" he muttered "okay i'll stop" clear as a bell. he started babbling again but didn't touch anyone. i think the guy was technically crazy , but used it as a repellant to use at will.
I felt grateful to see that a city is finally taking the stand to actually help provide help for the homeless community every city and state should have to do that same thing because it doesn't take much for a person to fall between the cracks anymore hats off to the people and government of Eugene Oregon 👍
I live in Eugene. We pass by the Village often. I am happy to say this place is well maintained. I only wish we had more like this one. The camping on the sidewalks have become an issue This place really is a good example of what could be.
My view is that no where should need this. But I am glad that those who unfortunately have to use.have a safe place of shelter.because of rising cost of homes I can only see more unfortunate people in need of these type of places.which is wrong for a modern time .Maybe people with spare rooms in there large homes could open their doors for the less fortunate even if its just to share human company,A meal,a place to wash and importantly a place to feel safe and Human
@@Uniquettt That's all nice and everything but good luck finding a homeless person that isn't on drugs a thief or just crazy. These shelters are just temporary shacks cheaper than building and maintaining a facility for them to stay. The cheap way out. Detroit has a much better idea ruclips.net/video/qY4s5T6cLSw/видео.html
Bless your heart. When I get some money, I'm going to help build some more little villages like these. When I was young I passed through Eugene, and our RV broke down. We rebuilt the engine of our RV while staying at the "Car Camp" at the fairgrounds. Eugene is a lovely little town, lots of good people there.
Cuz Warzecha has cough up the $2,000 of his wealth and has spread it around in his own town too! NOW, that's walking the walk! Thanks Warzecha, you're a great soul!!!!♥
It then again... idk, but yeah I agree why aren’t the churches doing for the homeless something like this They already have pantries and clothes, sometimes even showers.
But we need to understand why people dont use the services liken shelters, possible violence at the shelter, inability to stay clean, mental/physical trauma.
Actually, I do believe that churches should help, but they don't need to give all their money for this project. Homeless people need health care and I do believe that churches can help with this and many other things too. Just like Mother Theresa did in her life time.
Best news for the poor and disenfranchised in decades. This grassroots movement should spread like wildfire! It is the only answer to the homeless CRISIS. SHELTERS SUCK! I refuse to be treated like living in a herd is ok.
This is the best way to help the homeless people. No one should b living in the streets. People need to protest in there City to make it happen for them. Love it!
Wonderful to see someone being proactive, giving the homeless a hand up, and not treating them like pariahs, like they do in L.A. Just watched a video before this one where a guy was building tiny houses for the homeless in L.A. and the city leadership refuses to let him place them.
I have a feeling that if someone would come and tear down these LA officials homes down every day they wouldn't like it and they would do something to remedy the problem. Right ?
God bless this effort! That said, I really like the tour guide. He seems really sweet. Just fell on hard times. At any rate, it's wonderful that people around the world are trying to come up with an economical solution for this issue. Thank you for posting. Terribly proud people are as creatively resourceful as they are compassionate in trying to effectively address the problem.
No it's not. This is for the people who with a *small* amount of help are able to change situations. It still leaves the chronically homeless, and those who are travelers, out of the program. I have yet to hear of any that address these real people and the supports they need. =(
When you live pay check to pay check as many of us do then homelessness is only a heart beat away. It means also that having a masters or a degree is no protection against disaster. That gentleman seemed so sad but if you want to survive you have to cultivate inner strength to be able to soldier on and not feel sorry for yourself. The pastor and the community are doing great work to help these people and that is what community should be about.
Sometimes I feel that a lot of the people that can do something in this case don't because it doesn't put any money in their pockets. I know that political groups earn more $$$ than most of us Americans and they seem to have gotten to a place that they have forgotten that they are working for us. So I keep praying that God guides these people to do the right thing. And may God Bless and help the people that can make a difference do so,
Mindsets in Oregon is Extremely different from those in california... we smoke weed here so we are more groovy, mellowed and positive of life and earth’s inhabitants.
This is so heart warming! I currently live in Denver CO and looking for an opportunity to volunteer my time and resources to a similar project. This gives me such happiness to know there are some wonderful people in Oregon doing some great work out there to make a difference. Kudos!!
The Occupy movement helped with homelessness in many cities across the US. As they were camping on the streets in harsh conditions and welcoming in the homeless to their camps, they realized that they could help push for better conditions for the homeless. So glad that they have made such good progress!
This is pretty awesome and great, to care for the homeless and poor and provide and allow some housing and assistance for them. I also like that they take turns cleaning and caring for their shared utilities. It's a good start.
In college I lived in a coop. Residents all shared the work including some cooking. Each dorm room (2 people to a room) took their turn cleaning the bathrooms and communal areas. About once a semester, we had a work weekend when we did bigger projects like painting or stripping and waxing floors. Looking back on it, it worked really well. The place was clean and well maintained, and I don't remember any fights over someone not doing their part. In the early 1980s, my monthly rent for a shared room was something like $98! That included 3 meals a day and of course utilities.
Good Luck to him. He seems really nice. I'm Glad a program like this is around and it's helping those who really need it. Good Luck to all of them also💖
What a lovely man! The concept of giving a hand up is powerful in helping the homeless to get back on their feet. Very impressive solution to an ever growing problem. And note, it cost about 100,000 and a lot of goodwill to house 30 people.. Around 3000 each. When owning a home is out of the question and renting too is not an option, this is a wonderful project for addressing the needs of the homeless. Why aren't governments worldwide doing more for the homeless? This guy didn't do anything to warrant being homeless. He was a victim of circumstance. Far too often people assume that homeless people are the architects of their own misfortune. It ain't necessarily so.
This looks safe & clean. Why do people think homeless people are disgusting & criminals? God bless this little village & the old pleasant man wherever he goes.
Wow! This community needs respect too. Its rare to see this kind of people who practice honesty to their store. Hats off sir. More blessings to come and take care always. God will make a way.
This is awesome! This should be something every major city in the US has and I think there should be many of them in each city! There is no reason that women and children should be on the streets!
Brilliant for the homeless people 🥰 it gets them off the streets and they have a bed to sleep in and keep them warm in the colder months, we should have these in every country.
Put simply, laws. Zoning laws, building and construction permitting laws, tax laws. I can confidently say that the units shown here would not pass a building inspection in my area due to weather, electrical, etc. This is the unintended consequences we all to often fail to recognize when these laws are implemented.
What an amazing idea, you are giving homeless people a chance.. giving them hope. I am so impressed. TALK TO THAT MAYOR IN LOS ANGELES. THAT PRICK IS JUST SHUTTING DOWN THIS KIND OF IDEA.
It’s the large population of college students in the Eugene/ Springfield area that look for rooms to rent that makes the cost of renting a house/apartment; or a rooming house expensive.
This is a wonderful idea. I have always wondered if homeless were given a place of their own if they would take care of it. It appears that the communal approach seems to work better.
I just watched a disheartening video about how the city of Los Angeles is cracking down on tiny homes and making life difficult for the homeless. This is such an encouraging video to follow it up with. Seeing how a little compassion and creativity can go a long way.
A masters in biochemistry, worked his whole life, has catastrophic life changes at 64 years old and our country with all it's wealth just ignores people like us. It's a travesty! Billions in aide sent all over the world but won't care for their own. GOD bless these people who help thier communities.
I like this design a lot! When I was designing potential quotes like this it was close to what you guys have going on there and I hope this concept can spread to other places because this is a phenomenal safety net
People no matter what education race or background you come from nothing is promised to you here on earth but death so being humble and appreciating what you are blessed with should be a lesson to us all... you can end up homeless sick and alone.. love Jesus he is the answer
What a beautiful touching inspirational video If only more towns and cities around the world adapted this idea especially in the uk as in major cities the amount of homeless people has increased significantly in the last couple of years the attitudes towards them has become increasingly that they are moved on and in some places there personal possessions are confiscated by the police It's very sad and heartbreaking 😭
Notice how many times he says "supposed to". People are supposed to wash their dishes, take a turn cleaning the bathroom and tending the garden. This is the problem. Some people don't do what they are supposed to.
yep, so true. That's why communal style living arrangements like that usually fail, or only one or two people do the job and the rest freeload. I also wonder about this guy's story....he looks like he's been living rough for awhile. I suspect there's more to his story than meets the eye.
At 5:45 3 young bucks walking aimlessly, why aren't they put to work? Are the communal areas cleaned up by the residents? Or are there a few good hearted people who do most of the work? What responsibilities do the residents have?
Absolutely amazing !!!!! Mayor Lightfoot needs to start using some of those federal pandemic funds to build tiny houses for the homeless right here in Chicago .
Send her the video, Shaun! Actually this, and the video we produced on Emerald Village are examples of solutions being implemented by the same non profit, in conjunction with the city, etc.. in Eugene OR. We were impressed. Thanks for watching! -RR
That is so nice. Why are there so few villages like this? I think each town should built one and take care of their homeless people. How nice would that be? God Bless you. 💖🌷💖
I’m loving it!! Thank you God !!! I hate seeing people living on my he street, sleeping on the ground, some no socks, decent shoes, some are hungry, I hate it!!!☹️ One day everything will come in order just how Our Creator of Heaven an Earth!!🌎🌏🌍🪐⚡️☄️💥and everything in it and on it!!! One day soon!! I don’t like the way things are but I do know ; God Almighty has a plan!! That no man can Stop!! Patience!!! Alright, 🙏🏻 thank you!!!💪🏽🙋🏾♀️😊👍🧏🏾♀️🤷🏽♀️👏🏽👏🏽🪐
What's worse the banks won't even loan money on houses that are only worth 50 or 60,000. They only make those loans to people who are going to flip the houses. Pretty soon no one will buy those either nor will the bank give those loans because they're not Mega houses. This is a complicated problem and it's been coming for over 20 years. I am female I had $40,000 in cash and wanted to buy a $50,000 home and I could not get a loan on the difference. You figure that out. I am not disabled but I was unemployed at the time. However I am a college graduate and I am capable of making $18 an hour
This is a great idea and I wish there were more, also the people staying there should all help out without being told too I know if I was homeless and had the chance to live there I would be so grateful and would love to do my part.
Every city should be legally required to have at lease one of these communities.
This is brilliant!
That's a lot better and comfortable than living in a tent .
I like the idea of " Getting only what you need and leave the rest for others."

It's from the night they tore old Dixie down. By the band.
I think concrete tents and dome homes would be better than those tiny homes.
" Getting only what you need and leave the rest for others." if all people did not have the desire of taking more than what they need, there is enough food to feed the world. there are cultural foods and widely grown foods like corn, beans, ...most staples.
it seems most other resident of the village aren't as keen on growing stuff and keeping up appearances as is the old time resident ..
i live in eugene and still there dozens and dozens of people on the street. i went to my dentist.. got there early before my appt and some of the mental health clients were getting antsy and one guy kept touching one of the women and he was just babbling. she couldn't keep him off of her. i had her scoot over and i sat down between them. he was babbling at me and touching me. i just looked at him and asked "REALLY!?" he muttered "okay i'll stop" clear as a bell. he started babbling again but didn't touch anyone. i think the guy was technically crazy , but used it as a repellant to use at will.

I live just outside of Eugene and this makes me so incredibly happy to see some positive change that has been happening in my community
l love these tiny houses. You can live comfortably without paying a high rent.
This is awesome, every city needs a place like this.
Indeed they do. My boyfriend and I were homeless for a year and thanks to some great people we got a home of our own.

All the money given to churches should be used to help like this.
True just take the food and clothes?
It then again... idk, but yeah I agree why aren’t the churches doing for the homeless something like this
They already have pantries and clothes, sometimes even showers.
But we need to understand why people dont use the services liken shelters, possible violence at the shelter, inability to stay clean, mental/physical trauma.
Yes , first we should help locally
Actually, I do believe that churches should help, but they don't need to give all their money for this project. Homeless people need health care and I do believe that churches can help with this and many other things too. Just like Mother Theresa did in her life time.
It certianly beats the heck out of living on the streets. It's better than nothing.
Janet Graham WAY better than nothing.
Its probably even better than a shelter cause everyone gets their own mini home
Best news for the poor and disenfranchised in decades. This grassroots movement should spread like wildfire! It is the only answer to the homeless CRISIS. SHELTERS SUCK! I refuse to be treated like living in a herd is ok.
Yes !
What a sweet guy. So thankful for what he has. We can all learn a lot from him.
This guy has a masters in biochemistry. An extremely rare advantage among the homeless population.
LOL!!!!
I think the point of the video says that anybody can be homeless.
WTF David you fuckwad. UGH.
A degree means nothing nowadays and it goes to show anyone can end up in that s tips of situation.

LA needs to cut back on their free tuition to colleges and get a plan.
I have a feeling that if someone would come and tear down these LA officials homes down every day they wouldn't like it and they would do something to remedy the problem. Right ?

Please DO more than taking a look, TAKE ACTION instead, volunteer, donate, promote this movement, PARTICIPATE... 🌷🌷🌷
Ive seen the same video. Its a shame that the city officials shut him down then stole his ideas
He wanted to put them on public places

That's awesome every state should do the same to help homeless. 👏🙌🙏🏻
This is just a great story , wish we could do this in every state 👍😀
Wish they had something like that here my son and I have been homeless for over 6 months
I would love to see housing like this in many more cities and towns across the country.
This is a great idea for L.A. I hope they can do this for all the skid row people who need housing.
They did and the city tore them down saying unsafe
@@ruthspence2865Heartless🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
This is a wonderful practical and respectful solution to homelessness! Yeah!
I wish there was the same thing here. I'm facing homelessness soon and I am terrified despite having my ESA with me.

For everyone ! The abandoned, the homeless, the helpless, the orphans

It is one earthquake away, or one expensive health crisis.
This shows free college for all isn’t the answer. Give free trade schools so there is a market for them.
Yes! Truth ! Soldier on until your find answers and realistic practical solutions ! And a place to live !
I love this. This should be everywhere. We need to take better care of each other.
THATS WHAT GOD WOULD WANTUS TO DO
The council in Eugene OR should call those silly people in L.A. … tnx, this felt good after seeing how LA treated Elvis's Tiny house efforts in LA.

That is so nice. Why are there so few villages like this? I think each town should built one and take care of their homeless people. How nice would that be? God Bless you. 💖🌷💖
l like these tiny houses. There is privacy.
I’m loving it!! Thank you God !!! I hate seeing people living on my he street, sleeping on the ground, some no socks, decent shoes, some are hungry, I hate it!!!☹️ One day everything will come in order just how Our Creator of Heaven an Earth!!🌎🌏🌍🪐⚡️☄️💥and everything in it and on it!!! One day soon!! I don’t like the way things are but I do know ; God Almighty has a plan!! That no man can Stop!! Patience!!! Alright, 🙏🏻 thank you!!!💪🏽🙋🏾♀️😊👍🧏🏾♀️🤷🏽♀️👏🏽👏🏽🪐
Bless you all.
What's worse the banks won't even loan money on houses that are only worth 50 or 60,000. They only make those loans to people who are going to flip the houses. Pretty soon no one will buy those either nor will the bank give those loans because they're not Mega houses. This is a complicated problem and it's been coming for over 20 years. I am female I had $40,000 in cash and wanted to buy a $50,000 home and I could not get a loan on the difference. You figure that out. I am not disabled but I was unemployed at the time. However I am a college graduate and I am capable of making $18 an hour
Absolutely fantastic, thankyou ... !
Y'all R TruLee "AMAZING GRACE AWESOME"...ExactLee What JesUS Would Do...Much Luv & Prayerz 4 All🙏🙏
This is a great idea and I wish there were more, also the people staying there should all help out without being told too I know if I was homeless and had the chance to live there I would be so grateful and would love to do my part.
no way people in my neighborhood or employment, would take only what they need. Greed and lazyness ruins everything.
God bless to all of you.
That's a great idea. We should have them in every Town in this country.
I absolutely love this Village no one in the richest country in the world should be living on the street Donald
I agree with you.
That's a great idea!!! About time the do something to help the homeless!
