I stayed at Joes village back in 2001 trying make a fresh start in my life for the better...I was so bit up from head to toe with bedbugs so many times,I finally called it quits and left and ironically enough,when I slept out on the street,I never had any problems with any bugs ever!!!Hallelujah!!!!!!
Thank you, Heather! I have always been a supporter of your work since you were on the CW. Thank you for meeting with Deacon Jim and bringing light to the work FJV does to serve our San Diego communities.
I volunteered there in 2018. When I was working seasonal job at the airport, Einstein bagels gave away leftovers bagels to the airport employees at night. I took as many as possible to the homeless in that areas snd also to the library food cupboards
Sometime benevolence help has to stop. They have no right to sidewalk tents, no right to major parks with high traffic, no right to live in front of people's businesses or homes.
More privacy in tents to change clothes, more security due to your shelter neighbor seeing all your assets as you use them and stow them so they can be stolen by desperate shelter bunk neighbors when use the shower...
@@dustup2249 --- Then they need to get off the sidewalks, parks and beaches if they want to live in tents. And the city needs to designate where their camping IS allowed.
There are apprx. 3,300 homeless shelters in the U.S.A. and ALL have overflow; even the megashelters that service as many as 2,000+ people per night. Homeless shelter staff also sometimes ban people from receiving services on a network-wide scale. ua-cam.com/users/shorts0NRm5fFtFMI
My question is; what are the homeless going to do for us? They could start by throwing the paper plates on which they are served free food where they sit in the city trash can three feet away instead of under my window.
Homeless means not able to afford rent or a house! Jobless is a major issue! Indeed is a scam most of the jobs are fake and do not exist. Career builder same issue. Prices of food and housing where a single room is 1k to rent is a joke! When some charity organizations sit on billions!
They are fentanyl and Tranq horse tranquilizer addicts, and the vast majority of them are irreparable. These drugs destroy humans mentally and physically beyond the point of repair very quickly nowadays.
Sure. Only the poor deserve to have a place to live and those of us who actually work should not be allowed to rent a place because we make more than homeless junkies.
@@nobodyspecial4702 San Diego rent rates are increasing to record highs. You have people working full time and senior citizens that have retired no longer being able to afford rents and are living in campers and cars. People are being priced out of housing- that's the bottom line.
@@Mlogan11 And yet there are always people willing to move in who can afford them. If you can't afford to live where you are because you don't make enough, fking leave. It's not rocket science.
@@nobodyspecial4702 Move where? Most cities have the same problem with sky high rents. Just because some can afford doesn't mean there's no problem. Just saying leave is a simple minded solution. Seniors on a fixed income can't easily change locations.
Most refuse housing because they cant do their drugs and there are rules. Many actually get angry when offered housing, like it's an insult. They want to be free to live on the streets on their trash piles and shooting up.
Maybe they should get off drugs and consider getting a job.. I was homeless back in the 80's.. I made poor decisions and lived in my car for about 6 months.. While homeless I NEVER STOLE, defecated, pissed or left mountains of trash.. since when is it Society's responsibility to house people who refuse to help themselves??
Why shockers? People can’t afford rent and you can’t force people into shelters. And not everyone without a house is a mental drug addict. People with houses suffer from mental illness and drug addiction. So what’s your point.
The difference is addicts with houses are functional while homeless addicts are drains on society. Why should we provide them cheap housing when we can make better, high quality housing for those who can afford it and are willing to live in conditions better than rats do?
@@nobodyspecial4702 What fraction? Many homes have more than doubled in price the last 5 years Prices can come down and the most homes will still keep much a big chunk of value from when they bought.
@@Mlogan11 The original poster is suggesting that developers shouldn't go after profits and instead should make cheap houses that are "affordable." Prices go up because people can afford them. It's that simple. What kind of stupid would it be if I decided to sell my house for what I paid for it when I can sell it for triple. If the value of the house drops down to merely double what I paid, there is still no intelligent reason to sell it for less just because someone can't afford to pay what others can. I lived in San Diego, had an excellent job, literally made buckets of money but couldn't afford a house. Instead of crying about it I worked my full time job and took on 2 contract jobs, which my wife did also. We saved our money and when the opportunity came, we moved out of San Diego to a place where we actually could afford a house and didn't have to work 3 jobs. I hardly consider myself a genius, so if I could figure that out, there's no excuse for others to say it's impossible. News flash, there are places where you can buy a fantastic 4000 sq/ft house in excellent condition for $30k. If someone wants to live somewhere that a bank repossessed crack house that requires a full interior gutting and rebuild still sells for $500k, then they cant cry because it's too expensive for them to live there when they work a minimum wage job. There are minimum wage jobs available everywhere, including places where that would be enough income to live comfortably.
@@nobodyspecial4702 1) I would really like to see the place you speak of where a 4000 sq ft home is selling for just $30K. You are making prices up that don't exist. 2) Prices go up when the supply is too small and doesn't meet demand. People pay not because they agree with the price but shelter is a necessity and you are forced to pay what the market states or else move, but if rents are high in every city there's a big problem. 3) OP is asking for lower prices - doesn't mean people have to sell lower, but that more housing be built to satisfy demand so competition returns and prices drop out of competition. 4) A healthy market works for all levels, not just the wealthy. The poor and min wage workers need shelter as well and if the rent is too high they will just leave the city, and the city is going to have problems operating if those in lower wage positions all leave, but maybe some cities need to learn that the hard way.
The money doesn't get to the homeless what ever they donate staff gets their hands on it first. People who work there they are very prejudice. They hold our mail, they help who ever they like or kisses up to themthey treat people kinda rude. When I put my application for an apartment at Santa Teresa new apartments they lost my application twice. I asked help at my school and they are the ones who helped me get an apartment. The shelter gets lost of money and they give expired food that people get sick. Showers are old and no curtains. There's BUGS!!! With all the money they get they can really clean up the place. Father joes shouldn't lie to people just to get money.
The city needs to build 2 and 4 man motel rooms again, which homeless people would pay $20 a day to live in. I would be one of them. Many homeless people could afford this. People don't realize that many homeless people do get paychecks daily, weekly and monthly.
You cannot tell landlords to "bring down the rent". It's their property and they have mortgages to pay and expenses. They are not charity organizations. They're in the business to make money. If people want cheap rent they have to move to cheap cities.
It could have been prevented by holding addicts responsible for their life choices instead of throwing money into enabling them to get free health care, free food, free shelter, etc.
Without private property, there is no freedom. Look at how many more homeless there are after all these saintly intentions? Is that the goal? More homeless? Certainly looks that way.
“We need more resources.” = We need more money. The more homelessness is incentivized the more homelessness there will be. Is that the goal? More people on the streets? If it is, keep doing what you’re doing. Keep incentivizing people to be homeless then wonder why there’s more homeless people. 🤔 If anyone disagrees w the saintly intentions of people incentivizing homelessness, call them names. There’s no way they benefit financially 😂
Then what is then solution though? Because putting people in jail costs more, in fact even the death penalty costs more then anything. So they are technically spending less money by not putting them in jail.
It dies not cost more for the death penalty than to house, feed, clothe and medicate the condemned. That is a favorite talking point of people that have never had a loved one murdered viciously and see the murderer live out a full life at taxpayer expense.
Navaho father joes is a business they just want money the help they give is not like you say . They are very cruel at father joes especially casemanagers. They don't help at all
It's a self-feeding disaster that has the potential to exponentially increase the population of the houseless ad infinitum. California's generous social welfare benefits acts as a magnet to all nearby states that have stricter houseless encampment laws and less support of the houseless in as far as SNAP, Medicaid, cash benefits and work requirements. It's sad that native San Diegans who can no longer afford the price of rent on retirement income is being pushed to the back of the waiting list in favor of brand new arrivals from other states and countries because they allegedly have "more" need.
It's NOT Society's responsibility to house people who refuse to help themselves!!!! I foolishly was homeless back in the 80's due to irresponsible decision-making.. I lived in my car but did not steal or litter my Community.. I just Retired from one of San Diego's largest Utility Company's...

This is what happens when the drug culture, the corporate sellout of blue collar jobs and the greedy real estate world collide . Good luck CA
As long as people can live in tents on the sidewalk, they wont want to sleep in a shelter.

Drugs first. Rent second.
This is only going to get worse look at the cost of rent it’s impossible we need a nationwide movement against big real estate corporations.
Or get out of CA, other places are way more affordable…
I have noticed there are more homeless people lately.
Why wouldn't there be? They literally get free food, free health care, free drugs. What reason do they have to actually get a job and pay their way?
Crisis growing at a alarming rate

They want more food stamps
They don't care about food stamps unless they sell it quickly for the next fentanyl pill called blues M30 Fetty.

Oh no! Not food! What will they want next? Water? Oxygen? A place to live?

Are they running stock footage from last year? I recognize three guys who were with me in Father Joe's a year and a half ago. WTF?
