That's a good worker I am so proud of him cuz when I was in Portland Oregon I did not get no help someone smashed my car in for New Year's and I had no it was gas leaking from my car all over my clothes I stayed with those nasty clothes no one helped me I had to help myself to get out of situation that's why I left that town is awful there in Portland Oregon no one helps the homeless I'm very proud of you sir by helping the homeless I wish it was more workers like you
same here. I think being an outreach worker is my calling too since I know the struggle. How do we sign up. ? I myself struggle with 2bd rent increase and on fixed income barely made rent this month. I need affordable housing. Been on waitlist for 10 plus years..
@@olecamohatmcgilicudy4256 Actually disability is a very small part of homeless. Im talking about the homeless who can break in my shop and run away fast.
Thank you for showing a positive story when all we see on the News is usually so sad. These dedicated people who care so much about the conditions many are struggling with, and who try to help out whenever possible, need to be heard from more often. and honored for their kindness and generosity. We need more kindness and compassion on display each and every day during these difficult times, so please report more of these stories to inspire others to do the same, rather than finding blame and fault with our local agencies and government, ans instead looking at solutions. There are always solutions if we take the time to care and can offer options for neglected people who may otherwise give up hope. Any small action can mean the difference between despair or hope.
When then snow first came in the buses were not runnin at all. no way for the homeless to even get into a warming shelter. Poor homeless women was walking walking down the street int he blizzard. It was heart breaking.
How sad and this is America. I wouldn’t be surprised in other countries but America. 😔 God bless the people that go out and help them. I heard of a man that died over night by North Portland Fred Meyer. Breaks my heart when I hear things like this.
He’s merely attempting to unblock what that couple says the barriers are between them and the help available. They could say a Minotaur is stopping them from getting into a shelter and he would offer options for Minotaur removal.
"Feedom is never free." A person must be willing to be accountable and responsible for actions, or accept consequences. The shelters are not full on both sides of the Columbia River.
😮😮 I guess they are CHOOSING to stay close to where the " action" is then? What an FD up city Portland has become.. I was there in the 1970s when it was SO beautiful
I bust my ass everyday working 2 jobs raising kids by myself and paying my bills and I would love for an outreach worker to bring me coffee and offer me some help with something. Do I need to be in a tent to get some help??!? I’m not trying to be unsympathetic to the homeless I guess I’m just jealous and feel stupid for busting my ass everyday
When you're to the point of living in a tent in the winter in front of the hospital that's charging you more than you can ever afford for your condition that bankrupted you in the first place
Sorry but most people chose to be homeless. They believed the “woke” attitude and don’t work. So this is the attitude and the government of Oregon applauding the homeless.
That's about the price of a one Bedroom apartment.. Section 8 is SUPPOSED to defer to the elderly and disabled first.. it's hard to find landlords who will take Section 8.. bc people tear up their property.
The government does care....that one guy gets SS of $1200/month, not alot but enough to live on. Its the ILLEGALS that are on the streets. And quite frankly, the government cares more about them than YOU because they let them cross into the USA every day by the thousands.
My friend died in his van,he lived in wall Mart parking lot,65yrs old, diabetic, could not get help because he had no id!! hospital had burned down so no birth certificate,had a certificate of no birth record issued after the homeless shelter helped him out,and still they wouldn't give him an id
Hospitals do not keep birth certificates on premisis---and you cannot access that at a hospital. Its part of the state record. Easy to get a duplicate. You're just wrong, and a stupid Gen Z.
You go down to the homeless place and wade through the zombies and they will tell you what to do I've done it i moved back to Minnesota real fast where you don't see pens crapping on the street and sidewalk then burn down the porta johns unbelievable
Sadly, unsheltered street homeless are fentanyl addicts, and they will destroy any housing we put them in because they are not mentally capable of living in any organized manner. They smoke fentanyl pills popular blues that contain fentanyl, rat poison, horse tranquilizer, sedative benzo, nitazene chemicals, and such. P2P based meth is laced with fentanyl and wasp dope. All street drugs including street marijuana are laced with fentanyl nowadays. Synthetic street drugs are extremely destructive and destroy humans mentally and physically beyond the point of repair very quickly. They reject help, shelters, rehab, treatment programs, and such. They gradually destroy everything around themselves and smoke fentanyl all day long
most of these people have wasted their entire lives being hooked on drugs and/or expecting everyone else to take responsibility for them. The homeless in Oregon have literally taken over. The system is broken yet people keep looking to the system to fix the problems.
To Portland and basically the whole West Coast.... If y'all weren't SO busy making money off the backs of these poor people... You can literally build houses out of straw and mud.. or just mud for that matter... All the money y'all waste every person could be housed...

I felt inspired watching this video as well.

Rents are so high most people struggle when they are on social security. $941 is not enough to live on.
so stay away from drugs and work hard ! a bus driver can earn 4k now !

ODOT sucks
God bless you for caring and taking action to help people that really need it.
We need to setup a go fund me page to help these people get their drugs!
???
This story made my day. Not homeless but am mad at system failures .
Time to define the ellusive System that too many Americans love to blane as a stable mother and father.

Sad? These people REFUSE to go inside because they will have to follow RULES! SCREW them you fool!!!!
May all our hearts grow to be this compassionate!
May all your taxpayers grow to be so gullible.
-19F with windchill -34F in Wyoming. Used to live in Oregon until “tent cities” overtook the city of Portland.
@@olecamohatmcgilicudy4256 ooh those evil landlords!
THEN, you can get a well paying job! What BS. You have to KNOW someone. BS all the way..
I LOVE how this guy makes it look like their only obstacle to living like a human being is being prevented by a simple lack of ID.
And the biggest setback of all - MONEY and lots of it.!!!
They throw MILLIONS at this problem every year!! We need more mental hospitals, and stricter laws
They need a credit union or bank, that gives them a free safety deposit box near where they live for safe keeping, and be LEGAL immigrants.

They get their id birth certificates social security numbers stolen confiscated by police and city workers and thrown away
I had seen the burned tent today, it is near Lincoln High School
Thank you for taking care of the homeless

This is the great United States everyone. Our homeless population is higher than ever.
So is the ILLEGAL population. They shouldn't be here at all.
No one out there is that unaware..
I don't get it.That man gets 1200 a month S.S. and he's living in a tent and he's hungry? He must also get food stamps. None of this adds up.
Drugs and stupidity and they want freedom so sick of the enabling
He would barely get any food stamps with that amount of SS
It’s not enough to live on. Plus, he had three strokes, so he probably can’t figure out the system.
Massive medical debt.
It is the winter of our discount tent.
That's great.
Stop the coddling! Never gonna hit bottom until you do. Portland, "The city that enables".
Make homelessness illegal, like Amsterdam did, and mandate housing. That would end this completely. No more living in tents.
If there were enough housing…
I bust my ass everyday working 2 jobs raising kids by myself and paying my bills and I would love for an outreach worker to bring me coffee and offer me some help with something. Do I need to be in a tent to get some help??!?

$1200 a month and you still on street? Vow... most third world country they have nothing and still have shelter over their head. Go figure America

It's a shame the government does not care about its senior citizens
American families have fallen apart. And how is the government supposed to fix that?

Do they deliver heroin and fentanyl to the homeless people?
These are real superheroes!
And what about animals that live on the street - spare a thought for them too...

Been there, done that
So why. Not.!.
Just remember you're saying the people who refuse, refuse to go inside and seek shelter...very sad.
These homeless are mighty clueless.Some people refuse to be helped.
