  • It's become the so-called Skid Row for RV homelessness in L.A. County. Now some of the unhoused living in the area were moved to temporary shelter, and the RVs were towed away. Full story: abc7.com/rvs-l...

    I moved into an RV years before Corona. Disabled and unable to work, it was my only option. My RV is clean in and out, always registered and insured, and fully operational. I barely drink and don't do any drugs, not even weed. We're not all junkies. I also never park near these places around other RVs. It makes you guilty by association.

      I totally get it. I've heard/read about how terrible shelters are, and I don't know why nobody has figured out a way to improve them so that more homeless folks would feel comfortable and safe in them and have some semblance of privacy - maybe they have and I am just ignorant about it.
      I also understand your predicament as a pet owner. I believe at least some hotels that have been repurposed as housing for homeless individuals allow pets, and although small in size, maybe tiny homes may accommodate a pet, too?
      There are a couple of practical concerns I have about developing permanent or semi-permanent housing for homeless individuals.
      1) Will/can a homeless individual accept a more permanent housing situation if it is located further away from a job that they have?
      I think about possible/likely(?) transportation challenges. Although buses travel all over and relatively cheap to use, they also take more time to arrive at a destination.
      2) Will a homeless individual accept a more permanent housing situation if it is not located in their desired/preferred area? EX: If a homeless person becomes used to living at/near Venice Beach, would they accept the housing accommodation near downtown L.A.? I've heard some homeless folks say that they would not accept housing if it moved them away from their homeless community. That's sounds stupid to some of us, and makes perfect sense to others.
      I've thought WTF would I do for housing if I became homeless and lacked access to family help? Since I own a car, I would likely live in my car at Safe Parking L.A. and do what many homeless individuals do, which is to purchase a gym membership where I could exercise and bathe, shave, maybe wash my clothes while showering and hang dry back at Safe Parking L.A. I'm not sure, however, where I could keep a pet during the day while I am at work. Maybe pay a fellow Safe Park L.A. resident a few bucks a day to watch my pet? But, I believe that during the day, the parking lot
      ​ By the way, @Network126, much respect and admiration for you as you work your way out of homelessness. I wish you only the best in all that you do.

      Really? What is cheap to you?
      I find cheap rooms all the time in LA.
      Try mid city, Culver City, NoHo, Crenshaw, even Hollywood has some decent cheap rooms.
      Normally, if you aren't earning at least $1000 a week in LA, you are gonna struggle. Its very normal for 4 to 5 people to share a two bedroom two bath apartment.

      You can ind a room for $500 a week but certainly not $500 a month not now.
      There is a nice hotel near Pico and La Cienega that is $700 a month, you have to share a bathroom but the rooms are clean and safe. A lot of people are renting rooms in their homes for about $600 a month minium..
      I suggest working for a company like Starbucks or Amazon, they help their employees find housing, they also pay for their employees to ride 'Lyft' into and from work. Lots of benefits too.. Starbucks even feeds its employees for free (as many drinks as you want and a meal a day)..
      Now that the Pandemic is over, the city of LA and the county have job offers on the table and the city will help with finding an apartment.. Try working at a city run recreational center, the pay is $26 dollars an hour to start.

Anyplace you drive around California you’ll see this, large city’s to small towns. The state chose to shutdown most mental health facilities and turn these folks out into the streets. Then you have the drug addicts that live like this because if they go to a shelter they are expected to follow the rules, and they don’t want to follow the rules, especially the stay sober rule. Most people in California have very little compassion for the homeless due to this.

A year and a half later I still cannot find any type of housing or shelter. The homeless shelters only help people who use drugs or drink alcohol. Those are things I shall not take part in. The worst part is businesses will not hire homeless people. However, everyone is "hiring." Even though I have experience in banking, accounting, management and retail companies won't hire me because they think I use drugs because I'm homeless. Last year I was jumped and when I arrived at the hospital nurses also assume I was using drugs. They didn't ask, just assumed. It's not like I have a support system because I was a foster kid. Somehow I will figure this all out of my own like I have with everything else in life.

    Only "Some" are given temporary housing while "ALL" their homes were removed. = Some is not the same as ALL
    Further the housing is "temporary" while the removals of RV's are "Permanent" = Temporary is not the same as Permanent
