- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2024
- Tiny Home Village is now open in North Hollywood with a concept that has the potential to reduce homelessness. Each 64-square foot unit comes with a bed, heater, and AC but the village provides much more support including job training, job placement, mental health, and substance abuse services. Kim goes to meet the founders to hear their innovative story of giving back.

That's weird because I remember a certain Musician building a procuring land for tiny homes several years back and California raided and seized them with a variety of excuses just to hate homeless people and kick them back out onto the streets. "The houses are unsafe they said" while the homeless people went back to unsecure tents.
I noticed you forget to mention that little tidbit.
@Rahima Ali The only reason they support this project is because it's basically a homeless shelter. Don't follow the rules? Back on the street.
Elvis Summers was actually giving these people the houses. No strings attatched.
Mate im from the UK and i heard about that. I was waiting for somebody to point thatout. Bureaucrats and government officials taking the little mans ideas shutting him down and presenting them ideas as their own. Plagiarism theft and dishonesty, the elites modus operandi
What would that little tidbit have anything to do with this homeless housing project that is successful and has nothing to do with the one you are talking about. What on earth would be the point of referencing the other one when talking about the success of this one. Makes zero sense.
@@barefootiguana8471 His project was more than successful before the state shut it down. As I said, the only reason this one is being endorsed is because it's a glorified homeless shelter. They don't own the homes. They can't do what they want... You don't follow the rules, you get kicked out.
You're being intentionally dense.

Been tried many other times, many other places, either they enforce the “No drugs/alcohol” rules, or the place gets trashed in a few months...OR they do enforce it, and very few will move there because they choose drugs over getting help and getting clean, sad but true.
So just don’t do it ?.. don’t help anyone is ur advice? U must be a god damn genius gump!

Not all homeless people are drug heads or alcoholics you have good clean whole families out there now..
@@karenlee3372 Yes, we dont forget the .01%
Here's the thing. A similar project like this was tried in Nashville almost twenty years ago. The reason why it failed was because of the (NO alcohol and NO drug rules). The people they tried to help refused to use the housing. So, good luck with that.
Very true unless these folks (setting this up) allow the drug and alcohol and then it crumbles just like the decaying souls that have little hope because of their mindset.
They did this in Modesto & same thing. They rather do drugs and drink vs utilize the free rehab program and transitional housing.
@@kaylakayla8713 Ex-Homeless here. Cosigning this as i've seen it way too many times.
They can only help those who wants help. 😌👍💋
Not all homeless people are drug heads or alcoholics please do not judge them you have good clean whole families out there now..
It's good that they're doing this but dtla also has lots of huge abandon buildings. They should refurbish those because it could house higher density.
Those are kept for raves
Maybe not such a good idea during a pandemic.
You pay for it
Higher density than 64 square feet per person?
I can't count how many times with my hands I've said we have so many abandoned buildings and warehouses in a city of downtown Los Angeles alone that can be refurbished into housing low-income housing mental institutions and so on to help homelessness
We need this in NYC. Thank you for Caring
Yes! Let's email NYs council/reps and inform them about Pallet Shelters!
I was thinking the same thing. I just bought some food for and gave resource info to a homeless man the other day. He just wants work and a home. It broke my heart. I always wish I could offer something permanent or knew of something permanent. Nobody should be on the street, especially not mentally il, people. They are very vulnerable.
@@FacheChanteDeux ty for caring. I don't have must but I try to keep some singles and a extra metro card in my pocket to give to someone.
@Vegas Ace NYC is spending Millions of dollars to put homeless ppl in those raggedy hotels and houses. So its a scam everywhere.
@Chuckie be nice can we give it a chance. They taking luxury hotels for the homeless. One of the programs is breaking ground. Look at the money their spending.
“Drug addicts“do not want to live here because no drugs are allowed.
Yes! We will still see those ones on the street. And nobody will say that on the news
Drugs aren't allowed outside of here, neither. I don't think drug addicts will have a problem living here as long as they hide their drugs well.
Good.
Exactly, we the drugaddicts want freedom just like the founding fathers wanted for us! We need a revolution!
Most homeless are crazy. Good luck!
I actually thought of doing something like this in college, so it’s really good to see someone else with more money and resources was able to do it.
Hope it spreads out across the country! I live in a place where there’s a lot of homeless people-and even was at risk of being homeless a couple of years ago-and I know that these people really need more help than they are given.
The city gave $80,000 per shed so you know there is some kind of corruption
@@buck_neezy6458 If you knew anything about construction you would know that a building with electricity, plumbing, air conditioning and meeting the legal standards of human livability for 80,000 dollars is not too high in any way. These are not just sheds they bought from homedepot and placed in a gravel lot.
@@xXEGPXx in australia same day granny flats which are 2 bedroom, combined living room kitchen, bathroom, are about 40k all set up with plumbing electrical etc
Invite a homeless person to move in with you. Your not doing enough to help them.
@xXEGPXx I don't think theses are built to code for a normal house. Might be more like a hotel.
End of the story us this guy is making money, and the city is paying
This will be an interesting experiment. I hope it works. I hope it doesn’t become a drug use hangout.
I expect it will. It’ll just end up a drug den like every other congregation (for lack of a better word) but hey, I would LOVE to be proven wrong.
These places have curfews inforced, and a bunch of guidelines to qualify to be in one. They really glazed over that, a lot of the homeless aren't taking to the idea simply because they feel it also takes away their freedom. It's a lot to be grateful for though so hopefully they will want to give them a fair chance.
If you check out German in Venice channel he did a video about them with a little more information not just the glorified version.
The entire country is a drug use hang out.

Love to see people with such kind hearts reaching out to those in need. Such a Blessing
Amazing. Helping the homeless is always satisfying. I commend these people for their compassion.
Most of them will be burned out within the next twelve months.
@Sara Mill You're right and it's a sad thing. That is why we cannot rely on our government to take care of us or the homeless. We the people, got to help each other.
@Sara Mill since you seem to know so much (about nothing) tell me how great Republican ran states are doing in terms of extreme poverty for their constituents?
Also, please refresh my brain as to why Reagan closed all state mental hospitals again? He obviously didn’t care about those people and he was a “Christian” (in name only of course).
@Sara Mill The only ignorant person I see here is you. Don't try to generalize the entire homeless population because of a few people. Just like I don't call everyone an ignorant buffoon just because you are
I'm just jealous that they could make so much money from embezzlement
I don't understand people's comments, who would want to live in one of those. I can only imagine someone who is really in need would find that valuable.
What position do you think homeless people are in....they're very desperate if they're sleeping in tents.
@@AssBlasster that's my point, that's the only person I would imagine wanting to live there someone in need. That's why I don't understand some people's comments they make it seem as their getting the top of the line housing.. when they're getting the bare minimum help🤔
@@skethvagabond723 Oh I see your point now. Yeah this is pretty basic housing. I also don't see many ppl striving to live here for an extended time. It is good enough for working homeless to save money and get a better place though.
It beats a cardboard box under a bridge. Think about it.
Love This!! Helping clean up a part of our country. Needs to be done in Every State and Every County.
Billions in tax payer money (35 units) the rest went to the politicians
That's why the homeless problem will not be fixed, everybody has to get their cut and when its done, it doesn't make a dent.
Exactly! How much does a individual yard shed cost? So corrupt, someone needs to go to jail,
Public sector gets you 2 cents of value on every dollar. This is why socialism is garbage and the private sector is always vastly superior, as long the government regulation keeps things honest / fair. You gotta be a complete moron these days to vote democrat. 50% of the American population have zero saved for retirement, so we know this country is full of morons.
Yep ! And they will be trashed and unlivable in a year !
I bet the waiting list is literally years
This is wonderful....hope it spreads across the country! People need a hand up so they can improve their lives and keep hope alive.
My "tax dollars" ALREADY SUPPORT way TOO MANY lazy, useless low-life types !
The politicians are stuffing their pockets with money.
Sounds good but it will only increase the problem. Wait for it.
CONGRESS stripped they 90% of the original welfare bill. Prior governments had a plan for those who fell on hard times ... this new tone-deaf approach tricked its way down to the state and city management of homelessness. Seriously how many recessions we have had for 20 years now, this is the unseen impact of it.
Amen 👍
All praises to the people who made this possible...Great work guys...thank you
May the Lord bless all involved in this endeavor.
You have 60,000+ homeless & your talking about ending homelessness with 36 homes?!?!? Double the size 103 units?!?! There is OVER 60k+ in LA alone!!! That is a complete failure! If that was graded that would be a F x's 10,000!
@@surferxblood Amen...But at least someone is trying...Corruption always eats up the money allocated for such things.
The Prestriedge
I'm not mad or angry at you in any way...that was towards LA it's Politicians and it's management. This is a PR stunt. I've lived in Venice, Silverlake and DTLA. The local government receives 100's of millions and the crooked government pays 70-80% in Planning. Meaning they pocket all the money and nothing goes to help the homeless. They put these type of PR stunts that fail miserably.
Amen!
LOL ... IF "The LORD" wanted to be "helpful" He would END drug abuse !!! Sorry, but I think it's "here to stay", and even INCREASE, ..... I see this newest generation Straying AWAY from being "productive members of society" !!! They would rather protest, riot, loot, destroy, others lives & livelihood, and collect money from the government, than WORK for a LIVING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OPEN YOUR EYES !!!
THIS is what "becoming a MELTING POT" has done to this "once GREAT country".... MIXING too many different cultures together ALWAYS creates FRICTION/PROBLEMS ..... Just LOOK back in history !!
something has to be done to help the homeless, this looks as good as anything - the guys involved in this must be so proud that they are trying to help.... I so hope that it solves problems for many people - well done all involved.. (from the UK)......
agree
A judge order the city of LA to get them off the streets.
I hope you and your family are safe and well
How about the homeless start helping themselves, it's amazing how our society has enabled them so now they expect handouts
We need more of these.
things like this have been around for a long time....LA's homeless problem is deeply rooted in drugs, mental illness, and sadly..laziness. i worked in skid row and we would disenroll so many people from nice transitional homes because they simply didn't want to attend job training class.
Mostly laziness.
Most people have no clue and believe they should be given everything .
Three years ago I lived in SRO Skid Row housing in Downtown LA. Today, I'm off the streets and have been housed for two and a half years due to my transitional opportunities, the systems in place and the social workers who were doing an exceptional job keeping me on track with my responsibilities as well as performing their own and not slacking. You can't be discouraged when working in this environment it may not be pretty all the time and it may not be pleasant but people who are doing their jobs along the way made it possible for me not to fall through the cracks.

"429 million in budget for the homeless". I hope they didn't use half of the budget doing this.
Of course not. This is just a start. Silly comment
@@sweetsongstress7398 : It's a start, that's 40 years too late. Did you hear the numbers? There's over 70,000 people (no doubt a low count), of persistently homeless in Los Angeles ALONE.
And our borders have been getting bombarded by CHILDREN who's parents abandoned them to this country (and those kids are taking up space by the thousands in local sports arenas.). Do you know how many children in Los Angeles, are already without homes?! Where the hell are those newcomers going to go?
The people running this city and state, are notorious for patting themselves on the back, as if they've done such a big thing.
Pardon my cynicism, but this is barely scratching the surface of the mountain of problems!
Regan D referring specifically to the structures not the problem. My family has been helping homeless since 2009 by supporting our local services by donating, volunteering, advertising etc....got to keep going!
I would rather have this problem fix..cause a lot of hardworking Americans are paying taxes on other unnecessary problems.. like illegal immigration, welfare/ welfare fraud and other issues.
Better then living in tents. And for right now looks better. Would restore some dignity. Associate homes with other services as well to assist the homeless.
We need this everywhere! It's about time we are seeing money being used appropriately and in a beneficial way. This is such a positive turn for the better of the community. Unfortunately, I will always worry if there is enough beds for them all because of the broken promises by previous leaders.
agree
It's not going to work
We aren't addressing the actual problem, we are simply putting it in storage
These places will become nightmares like project housing
The more you take care of homeless, the more homeless you will get. If you throw cookie crumbs all over your kitchen floor, will you get more or fewer cockroaches?
@@ms.annthrope415 your way of thinking is the problem.
This is wonderful, I like how they took all aspects of the homeless people lives into consideration.
How about asking them to work, put in sweat equity, to help off set the cost of their housing and food? Are they sweeping the streets? Making them go plant trees and shrubbery in the parks? Dig out hiking trails in the forests? Are they getting totally free life support?
That's so great.Thank you for helping them out..Blessed Be to all.
This is amazing. So happy this is happy. And you can tell these are the homeless people that want the help and want to progress. I pray they can move up in life. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is amazing. We as Americans need to help the homeless. Lots of praise going out to those making this happening.
And Santa real.....
This is truly amazing!! I would like to help those in need with homes and such, hopefully in the future 🙏. 😊
I Agree is a great ideas for those who wants to get off the street and get a fresh new start 😀
Open your house then and house a homeless person
Those severe cases need to be in mental facilities but mental facilities don’t want to deal with them either.
Once the eviction moratorium is up, the newly homeless can make use of this facility....this will be the new normal
the homeless reeducation camps are here
It starts like this.Within 25 years the whole world(except the elites)wil live like that.The new green deal.Build Back Better. etc
You're so naive. They will get trashed, murders will happen, will become too expensive to upkeep, homeless who prefer streets will leave and return to the streets and the project will be abandoned.
They should build one in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, and Calabasas. Oh wait....
So you can screw people that work? Stupid.
No matter if you poor live in a big fancy house you will find drugs. So being a drug addict is only acceptable if you have lots of 💰? Humans are humans first before there materialistic life style. I'm sure you have no problem thinking of all the celebrities with their drug addiction problems.

So stop judging others because you think you're better because you're not on drugs or you're not homeless. At the end of the day you are still human like the person without a home or the person who has a has a bank account you wished you had.

thank god there are people like you who truly care for other human beings
Seriously 🙏🏿
Yiu think they care lol?
Would have loved to have met some of the community members and see the inside of the units. From this video, looked just like a self congratulatory PR piece.
At least they are doing something JB. Maybe tenants don't want to be seen. It's easy to critique while someone else is doing something.
@J B 00:46 Shows the inside of a unit.
The administration costs where probably several hundred grand.
Exactly right. It’s a bandaid on cancer
Thats because a man was building these homes years ago and the government destroyed the houses just so they could build it themselves.
That is amazing, I hope this concept rocks our country, it's needed so much 👍😻
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! And the kids are awesome ❤❤❤
So they stole Elvis Summer's idea from the Tiny House Project when the California government was saying 4 years ago that his tiny houses were not a good temporary solution. I am glad they were able to implement it however, I strongly believe they should be working alongside the person that had the idea in the first place and is still trying to make it happen. He could be the bridge between government agencies and the homeless. I really hope many people can have a new start in a safe, clean, supportive place and that this project can become stronger and bigger.
Was looking for this comment! Especially after he was being demonized by local government
I am sure the original creator does not care who uses it the more people under a roof is all that matters
I remember that. They had them over the freeway over pass.
It's kind of annoying that they called this the first homeless village in LA when that musician guy literally did the same thing before they even started on the building these homes. He did it for the fraction of the cost and all the money donated went into helping the homeless. I doubt that all the money given to this project actually went into it
and they even use the children for the PR moment.
Very good idea. I hope more people and companies do more of this. it is a start to end homelessness . I hope it works. Some people care about others.
Evidently it will come down to the homeless people making the choice of staying drug free and rehabilitate themselves back into society. Some won’t give up the freedom, I’m interested in seeing how this government program turns out with it’s guinea pigs lol.
The issue is when some of the homeless people come in, they tend to destroy the place. Lot of them don't want to work and will well the AC and Heater to get drugs.
It’s amazing that people like you think that homelessness = drug addiction. I’m fact a lot of homeless people are employed, if you work minimum wage job in LA you will be on the streets literally, the cost of housing is outrageous.
@@vkrgfan You are right, the cost of housing is crazy.
Just morenolaces for them to shoot uo drugs and get drunk, sell dope, sell stolen property indoors. It will become a tiny ghetto.
There was a guy in LA doing the same thing a few years ago. Building tiny homes for the homeless and the city came in and took them and destroyed them. Now the city took that same idea and tried to act like they are being heros.
Good temporary effort.
However, the only way to get rid of massive homelessness altogether is to not create the economic conditions that led to homelessness in the first place.
Stop shipping middle class jobs overseas.
Stop allowing companies like Uber, Amazon, Door Dash and others to steal wages, and re-classify workers as contractors so they don't have to pay them employee benefits.
Stop allowing corporations to gain at the expense of workers.
America is collapsing from the inside out because of such practices whether you care to see this connection or not.
These things will help, but not really that much to be honesy. Theres a big difference between short term homelessness and long term, Almost every issue youve named impact people who are considered "short term" homeless far more than long term. Also, there will ALWAYS be homelessness because it has just as much to do with mental illness and drug abuse than any of the issues youve named. Solutions like these tiny homes are an excellent idea for this issue that simply will never be "solved".
@@barefootiguana8471 Like cancer, once a person slips into homelessness, it is almost impossible to get out.
So, yes, homelessness is long term.
Every society throughout history had homeless people....but not this many.
This many indicates a systemic problem - a society problem, not a problem of just a few lazy, mentally ill, druggies.
@@barefootiguana8471 If your view is correct (there are always homeless people), how come there are many more now than ever before?
What caused so many to become homeless now?
@@andyhughes1776 All kinds of reasons. i never said there wasnt more than before right now....i said there will always be homeless people. Now there are more than there has been for a while, and society will work on making it netter. And it will get better...and then at some point other conditions will happen that make it worse for a while again. Society constantly changes and we constantly have ups and downs that we are forced to make adjustments to.
@@barefootiguana8471 Unfortunately, it wont get better for decades - when today's homeless live out their lives on the streets.
Statistically, once people become homeless, chances are they will remain homeless until they die. That is a fact.
That is why it is so EXTREMELY important to NOT create the conditions that result in SO MANY going homeless in the first place.
The way our economy is going, there will be many more homeless in the future, not less.
Because like you, people refuse to see the root cause.
How are you going to fix what is broken when you don't even acknowledge the root cause?
This is very similar to my vision. I’m so glad others are doing it. I’ve learned that it costs less to house the homeless than to give them homes.
NOT TRUE ?? IF THEY HAD AN ACTIVE PART IN BUILDING THERE OWN HOMES IT WILL BE A WIN WIN SITUATION ALL AROUND
COSTS WHERE DID THAT COME FROM IF YOUR WORRIED A BOUT THE COST STAY OUT OF IT THIS IS FOR REAL LET THEM BUILD THERE OWN HOMES AND YOU MAY BE AMAZED
What a good effort to help people who are homeless due to any circumstances . As a human being we should help them in support their new lives to be better even they struggle to live in the city. 🥰 Thank you.
Thanks again for this feature! We love shooting with the epic show- California Live!

This needs to be in every city because every city has homelessness and very little affordable housing, finally something good and the answer to a big problem
All of these negative comments on here! Not everyone who is homeless wants to be! This is transitional housing. A hand up! Do any of you have a better idea? I thinks it's awesome people who want help will get it.

Kudos to folks like this who strive to do something good!
Scammers getting rich. Look at operating cost when compared to what they bill the city. Its a scam.
I think this is a great idea. With housing prices continuing to rise there will be more and more people who are homeless, not because of drugs, alcohol or mental illness, but because they can’t find affordable housing and can’t make a living wage. They should however require them to contribute in some way, either a small amount of money if they do have a job, or by volunteer work on site if they don’t. They should not be allowed to just sit around and do nothing while living there.
Thank you for being positive 😀

From what I know if you don't suffer from those problems you mention, work a full time job, even minimum wage, then you can get into a sliding rent housing unit. Or get a voucher. Varies by state.
After that village is filled, I would like to see Blondie and the Preacher come back in a month and take a tour at midnight. There's a lot of open space and no rent at Slab City. Send them out to there.

This will only work for those so want help, and want to get and stay off drugs! I hope people will be seeking to get clean for a better chance in life!! I well worth it!
Please keep in mind that not all homeless are addicts. I was semi-homeless for years, almost homeless several times, and I’ve never touched a hard drug in my life and have only drank a few times in my entire life.

These do nothing but bring a bigger homeless population. The businesses start to suffer, he neighborhoods crime rate goes WAYYY up. I live in SJ, of course the general hope is that these homes clean up areas and gets people back on their feet but it doesn’t unfortunately. They need to build these on farms and have the people work the land/grow healthy food/learn skills. Not put em in neighborhoods.

More projects LIKE THIS, CAN make a "DIFFERENCE" !! (NOT like the temporary "Band-Aid of hotel rooms for a couple of months ...) That DOESN'T fix the problem at all ... It merely just is like "Kicking the can down the road" ....... But, that is ALL the politicians know how to do .....
May all given this opportunity please be thankful, you’ll be the beginning of the end of the stop and then lift up of homelessness. It’s really important what all of you are doing. Builders and dwellers together!
Always good to shed light on social issues.
As a mostly retired social worker I really like the documentary on RUclips called Seattle's Dying and it's sequel.
It promotes the Rhode Island model of dealing with the homeless as being best.
I would have to agree.
It's not compassionate to leave people on the street that will die and heard others along the way.
The Rhode Island model dedicates a prison just for the homeless.
Not the student going to college who lives out of his car but the chronic homeless who choose it as a lifestyle.
I'm talking about the drug addicted mentally ill. Talking about the squatters who break local laws regularly.
In the prison you differentiate the ones that are so mentally ill who will never know how to brush their teeth versus the drug addicted, the mentally ill or both.
The graduates of this program are thankful and say they would have ended up dead if it wasn't for intervention.
The great homeless industrial complex is costing way too much money and doing way too little care. Truly special interest at the trough of the taxpayer.
These tiny home villages are crazy expensive when we could have army barracks that people can voluntarily live in.
You staff it with tons of mental health workers and social workers in case managers who get these people out of the barracks into housing in a community that they can afford. You cannot expect Los Angeles to be affordable for everyone.
Yes we need low cost housing for people who work in the service industry.
The homeless do commit crimes but we're not prosecuting so the ones that refuse the army barracks solution for getting off the street then can find themselves in this dedicated prison.
Society has got to stop feeding the homeless. If you feed them you only encourage this lifestyle.
Hardly anybody makes a change in their life unless it gets painful enough.
Not everyone will survive this process and many people will die but that is a fact of life. People are dying constantly everywhere, whether they're homeless or not.
Letting homeless have this lifestyle is not compassionate. It is not freedom. It's a lifestyle that brings death, mental illness, is a danger to others and a plague on the city with blight.
People work their whole life to buy a home and tourists save up to go on vacation but when the homeless take over an area what's the point of the American dream of saving and working hard and doing the responsible thing that leads to a lifestyle of abundance.
Success in abundance is nothing to apologize for.
The taxes of these citizens should be used in a productive good way, not wasted on crazy programs that are failing us all.
This lifestyle has got to come to an end!
The open-minded politicians, the homeless industrial complex are supposed to be the grown ups in the room yet they're failing all of us.
We need to get back to common Sense. This notion of personal freedom and expression is crazy when it tears down property values and shutters businesses and is a danger to everyone.
Taking over sidewalks, feces, urine and danger that makes our city unlivable is not okay. It is not compassionate to the homeless or the taxpayers.
With the Rhode Island model there will be some who upon graduation will only be able to live in a group home. They've done so much damage to their brain that it may take years if ever to come back on line where they can live independently.
We have to have a carrot and stick approach. An option to get off the street. Yet if not chosen then involuntary lockup in the dedicated prison staffed with workers to help them regain their skills to live independently.
I'm not willing to be open-minded about this even as an old social worker.
This will encourage homeless from other states to go to LA.
They are already sending their homeless to CA
It has been going on already due to weather, just about legalizing drug use and making decriminalization of crimes associated with drug ; and free drug rehab as many times as they want/need. These will make it more enticing
The warmer West Coast (more temperate) climate has always attracted homeless. West Coast in general just has more temperate weather from Seattle down to San Diego. Earthquakes happen often but don't do massive damage often. Wildfires being the main issue for rural areas & air quality of all WC states.
Being homeless in Midwest/Eastcoast would just freeze or possibly injured from the major increase in multiple East/Gulfcoast hurricanes if they couldn't find shelter.
😷😩😩
Ok let me tell you something the only homeless that show up from out of state or county is because the county officials gave them a bus ticket.... Every time these good programs get over run its because of official who don't want to deal with their own homeless populations shipping then off...
This is by far the best idea for the homeless community Gods blessings to you all.
it will fail because they all would rather do drugs and drink all day then actually pick themselves up out of it. it may help a couple people but the vast majority will just abuse it like they always do.
I remember someone stated this project in California years before these opportunists started. He did it with his own hands and time. The city took away the tiny homes said it was “unsafe”. We all know why now, they wanted the profits.
Its a good home I hope these people can hold onto this opportunity they have been given. God bless
There was an LA musician who did this first still good though.
I know right!? They stole his idea Smh.
I know it’s really fucked they made him evict the tenants he already had in the tiny homes
@@samosez1929 Exactly! They were telling him that he should stop making those tiny houses for them because it was a hazard. WTF now it's ok?
Keep doing this, it's wonderful! All the people here saying it's going to be a drug den, etc, I suppose you prefer all the homeless to live in tents under the bridge or on the sidewalk. There might be a lot of substance abuse with the homeless, but remaining on the streets will not help them, and besides, many homeless don't do any drugs. Many have mental or physical illness or just a very bad period of their lives without support. You can have all my tax money for this project. I am willing to donate to this.
Remember when Elvis Summers built tiny homes for the homeless a few years ago? The same Govt took them away so they could take credit. Heaven forbid someone like us come up with a cure or develop anew type of medicine. Only they are allowed.
This is incredible and kind !
Great idea! This should be adopted around the country
I've seen something similar done in Europe and other places.
Cool now the homeless from Las Vegas have somewhere to go. 👍
Alexandria park, reseda , Tarzana.
They'll need like 2000 of these little villages around the LA area.
My only issue with this layout is the lack of vertical building. By only having one story, we're taking up soo much horizontal land while vertical landscaping is completely ignored.
It's because it's effectively illegal to build anything other than condominiums or suburban style homes
This is a adorable. I hope one of those sheds is a safe injection site.
That’s what the door lock is for.
Once again not all homeless people are drug heads or alcoholics you have whole families out there now that are clean
I hope all homeless herion addicts just overdose save the money for the unlazy motivated people who actually want to live
@@ralphtroper8872 like I said not all homeless people do drugs ..not all of them drink either.. you have good clean whole families out there now.. how about starting with the ones that want to be helped.. I would love to have something like this.. right now I live in a nasty tow behind camper that dates way back to the 70s and 80s.. half of the camper only has electric.. I have no running water.. I have to catch and use rainwater for everything.. cooking drinking and taking a bath.. I'm stuck in Arkansas.. yes I have been to services too bad so sad..
@Real Deal Spill unfortunately drugs and alcohol are a problem.. not all of the homeless do drugs or drink.. you have good clean whole family's out there now.. people should be starting with the ones that want the help.. I would love to have a little tiny house like that.. I do not drink smoke or do drugs.. I'm considered homeless for now I have a roof over my head.. I don't think I'm going to have one for much longer.. I'm stuck stranded in Arkansas.. someone told me that there might be a tiny House Nation around here.. I'd have to try to Google it.. the tow behind camper that I am living in dates way back to the 70s and '80s.. it is old too old..
Your such wonderful people
San Diego needs this.
This seems great, the housing as well as other resources available to those in need and looking for change.
Good I hope it works or helps some people out
Come to San Pedro there’s a gang of homeless people here including me!
So impressed with what you are doing.
Wish we had this in Fresno!
What about restrooms and showers and kitchens areas
I love this idea and I hope this is also more common and accessible as a affordable housing for people that are low income who don’t want their whole paycheck going to rent. Love that they are dog friendly! Those dogs are sometimes the only real companionship/family they have
ruclips.net/video/n6h7fL22WCE/видео.html the original man who thought of it
@@JenAvalon yeah I’ve seen that. Sad how corrupt politicians are
This is so amazing I'm actually homeless in Georgia with covid and ppl who have taken advantage I said I wanna do a laundry mat but this is what GA needs pls
Thank you so much for helping the homeless god bless you sir.
Finally! They should have done this long ago 🇺🇸. I’d rather live like that instead of paying insane rent.
Awesome! Been there...and not everyone has drug problems!
Thank you I just said that to quite a few of these people that are slamming the hell out of the homeless.. not all of them do drugs or drink alcohol you have good clean whole families out there now
@@karenlee3372 Unfortunately ... MAYBE , Only about 4%, in most areas are NOT addicts or Alcoholics .... For THOSE 4%, I totally SUPPORT efforts like these ....
@@ricks.1318 I would love to get out of the hell that I am living in a 19 80s camper.. only half of the electric works in it.. I have no running water it's all outside I have to go fetch water bring it in I use rain water.. I use it to cook with I drink the stuff after filtering it and I bathe in it because none of my water lines work.. I need new water lines I need a new hot water tank the camper needs to be rewired.. I'm stuck in Arkansas yes I have tried to go to different services too bad so sad for you.. that's just how it is you get treated like garbage by a lot of organizations.. if I had a place to go I'd like to get the hell out of Arkansas
What about Elvis Summers who thought of the idea? No credit go to him?
Cruel people will say it does not force them to find a job, but it does allow them to at least get a minimum wage job and survive in an area with crazy high land and rent prices. Some richer people are not just blowing their money on big homes, cars and vacations, and giving their undeserving children millions after they die, like the previous Rumphole president.
That news lady in the pea green is GORGEOUS! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Probably only one out of 50 will be happy to live there. That leaves 49 still on the streets. Lol trying to get that worked out.
So WONDERFULL God BLESS these PEOPLE and all the homeless PEOPLE
Awesome!! Thank you 😊💓
yesssssssssssss omg I'm trying so hard not to break down. I've been telling people about this kind of ideas for YEARS !!!!!!!
