This video needs more than 17000 views. I am using this video for reference to Open the eyes of my local city council about the different complexities and needs for both the individuals and the system of services

1:59 into this and I totally agree. In 40 years we've done"precious little to end this national tragedy"

Thank You there is a sadness among all people’s and the homeless problem is and should be directed at the highest corporate and government entities!

🧐 YES & NO... Why is because THE PRIVATE SECTOR OF BUSINESSES ARE USUALLY THE SOURCES OF SOLUTIONS TO MANY SOCIAL PROBLEMS... YES IF THE GOVT HELPS WITH GRANTS REGULATIONS CONTROLING EXPLOITATION PRACTICES THAT UNDERMINE HOMELESSNESS POPULATIONS HR EFFORTS...🧐🥸

Our society is collapsing. Our government federal and local don't care about the homeless problem really. If they did it would be solved.homelessness is a gaint business for alot of charitable organizations .but where does all donation money really go? I've seen the same homeless people for many years. I am homeless as well

do you mean that nonprofits are not generating enough changes or working in the right way? I am interested in knowing what you would change. i work for a nonprofit. and I am doing research to learn more about what can be done. for now, I only volunteer at other organizations and learn from them. today i am learning a lot and getting ideas. I have a dream for austin texas but I am not sure how to do it.

your right I've never had to experience homelessness until almost 2 years ago and I never realized how little to no help there is and Ill say why I feel that and I'm speaking for first hand experience.. they meaning paid volunteers treat the people terribly less than a person honestly I am not exaggerating,the money granted by the federal government. factual this particular mission in town was granted 875,000 dollars last year .and I can tell you that money goes mostly to staff these people and you ask to do what well supervise and feed and document all these homeless that come in they make people wait till certain times to release food why because they document you as a number and send it to local or federal government and they are then paid for the people that use the services.and honestly they always run out of food each and everytime and you meaning I always always leave still hungry!theres so much more but I honestly will leave it at the for now

@@elviaknoll4705 don't lie to yourself

start a database on individuals experiencing homelesness. one that identify individuals skill ,illnesses and benefits to be utilised in a project to not only rid homelessness but a project that designs future social security housing. similar to Tennisee valley project.

When you take away the profitability of the homelessness crisis then and only then will they decide to fix the issue. And what I mean by that is that shelters make money off the homeless agencies make money off the homeless you take away their money and their ability to make money off the homeless they will work harder to get rid of the homeless because if you can't make money off of something you no longer wanted in your eyesight. I was homeless for 10 years I know what it's like to become homeless and I know what it's like to help people in they're homeless state. Also I understand how hard it is to become on homeless after you've been that way for so long. Most of the people that do these TED Talks they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about it's just statistics on paper.

i guess i'm in the bottom 20%. greed kills, i wish more people would see this.

I'm in the midst of trying a build a small house on a plot of land in Northern California. I'm learning how expensive and cumbersome this will be, and not just in regards to raw materials ( we're currently looking at costs of $500 a square foot!!). The laws, rules and permitting in place will likely result in at least 24 months of waiting before shovels touch dirt. THAT is why it is expensive to build housing in California. Until we dismantle this apparatus of bureaucracy, nothing will change.

Disagree Shnaz. $1k/month (or some other nominal amount) doesn’t cut it. The local government and greedy developers have FAILED to create affordable, small housing. What we have needed is smaller dwellings under $1K for single people (or those wishing for simplicity). And don’t tell me it doesn’t “pencil out”. That is BS.

@iG W no. Its the only way to incorrectly portray homelessness. Those 2 stereotypes are the homeless. They are the majority. He just wants sympathy for the much much much smallwr population of single moms living in a car.

I don’t have any help for humanity It will stay how it’s always been

Because ending homelessness is not in the interest of the majority. To run a country you need to keep only about 60% of the population content. Incidentally, this is approx. the percentage of homeowners in the US and in the UK. The last thing you want to do is to provide a home for everybody, thus potentially diminishing property values and upset the content homeowners. At least, this is how it works in Britain.

🧐 A ARMY OF ABLE BODY HOMELESS WORKER BEGGING FOR WORK COULD HELP BUILD THOSE HOMELESS HOUSING UNITS... REFURBISHING OF SAVEABLE OLD USED HOMES IS ANOTHER... INVEST IN THE HP AND THINGS WILL CHANGE.

Wow, I am the guy holding a sign. This guy's clueless.

This is the problem with policy wonks talking about social problems. He’s conflating “units available” with “units existant” and thus missing the point. If every state created those arbitrary amount of units overnights they would just be immediately purchased by corporate interests as all previous units have and the problem would remain. Allowing corporations to own housing g is a problem. Allowing individuals to own more than two homes is a problem. Residential units standing empty exceeds the number of homeless persons many times over in every single state. You can’t solve a problem by ignore it’s actual causes not by creating a Straw Man to tackle.

Homelessness is not a problem...it's a modern state of life. Acceptance is the solution.

What if told you I have a solution to solving homelessness. The old saying is said that you can lead that horse to the water, but you can't make the horse drink the water... Oh but you so wrong. Because one can drown that horse-· homeless people are no different than homeless dog's. Every one know nothing good comes feeding a stray dog... Now this homeless dog counts on you to feed him/her that time. So now this homeless dog brings a friend, and so forth and so on ect. Creating I bigger problem than you can handle. Point is give them what is needed not what they want...
