I'm a frugal person and living in my vehicle traveling around is over twice as cheap as back when I had an apartment. When I did have an apartment before I was forced to leave it was pretty much all of my income. I'd go days without eating sometimes just so I would have money to pay rent. I wouldn't go anywhere because that meant spending rent money on gas. Now I make even less money but besides having to live in my vehicle I no longer worry about if I can eat today or if I can put gas in my car. Looking back at it now it almost seems like I was working just so I can sleep in my prison cell "apartment" every night.

The phenomenon of people living in cars and experiencing partial homelessness in the USA is driven by a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income levels make stable housing unattainable for many, pushing them towards alternative living situations like cars. Income inequality and stagnant wages further exacerbate the challenge, leaving individuals with limited financial resources for housing. Sudden job loss, prolonged unemployment, and lack of social support systems contribute to housing instability. Additionally, rising medical expenses, rental evictions, and the absence of affordable housing options force some into car-based living arrangements. Systemic issues, including inadequate social safety nets and government policies, play a role in perpetuating this phenomenon.

While home prices may eventually decline, it's advisable to diversify by reallocating from real estate into financial markets or gold, given the current context. With the current mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, transitioning from real estate is prudent, especially considering stricter mortgage guidelines. To restore market balance, home prices might need to decrease significantly, around 40-50%. If you're seeking guidance, consulting an independent advisor well-versed in financial markets is a wise step.

They had no placement for them and these kids that she gets they really are old souls they’ve been through so much and according to their biological parents, they were combative and delinquent and difficult at home and then they go to live with my friend and she said they are the most polite, loving appreciative kind hearted kids, and they’re just ecstatic to have a mom and a dad and a family and family dinners and to get to go shopping for clothes at the sporting good store and the athletic store and actually have clothes and shoes that fit and go out to dinner and go out and do fun activities and things some of these kids she said have never been to a sit down restaurant or a family restaurant they’ve never had a birthday party never had a single piece of clothing that was brand new and it’s just so sad.

In Asheville NC a cheap hotel is 1000 dollars a month. They wont rent to locals in most cases. A run down motel room, the cheapest I have found is 80.00 a night. You couldn't touch a motel for 149.00 per week around here. People would love that. Most homeless live on the streets because they cant afford a room and even if they get enough money for a room, most motels wont let them in. Its a cold heartless world.

Who cares about families homeless just as long as the share holders are making a truck load of cash …. Greed will end society!

I'm from the sixties,my father was completely destroyed,because of his WWII combat experiences,my mother was just plain crazy,her parents completely rejected her choice for a husband,then together as two very damaged adults,made all the wrong decisions & had kids they could not afford & weren't able to see how unable they were to provide a good home for 5 children,the three youngest became very damaged kids & unsuccessful adults,I was one of those 3 kids & unfortunately,never was able to turn around my poor beginning & only was able to tread water in my young adulthood & lost my mind in later years,but at least I knew I was unfit to be a good husband & parent,never thought I could do better than my parents. In fact,I saw a very dark future for the US & the world back in the 70s,& I was dead set against bringing children into this world. So glad I never became a parent,the kids I never had,would have never had grandparents,aunts & uncles,cousins & would have suffered all the same harsh realities that I did,not fair for all these children born into,very little hope for the future poverty,God is not providing in a harsh & unforgiving world !!!

My biggest stress when being homeless was fear of losing my kids. Losing my kids seemed like it would have been the last straw. I could lose everything else but them and still be okay. I never did lose my kids and we are now in a house and haven't been homeless since then. We were only homeless for 2.5 months but it took me about a year to recover physically and mentally from that. My blood pressure ran high for about a year after. It took me months to get my appetite back after because of the combo of bad boxed and canned food, lack of even that, and stress...I got to where I would get sick when I ate. I had to coax my appetite back by drinking ensures for a bit there. Having a vahicle when homeless makes a world of difference though.

Apply at every apartment complex that excepts section 8 and get on their waiting list during your long 1-2 year section 8 waiting list.

Got my Section 8 from a shelter. Spent around 6 months there then a secondary party pulled my name from the system and took on my case. 2-3 months later I got Section 8. Now it took me a whole YEAR to actually use the voucher and thank God for the extensions. Because so many landlords illegally discriminate against voucher holders, and even the ones who don't are still looking to squeeze as much out of you and the HA as possible. Recently passed another law capping deposits at 2x the rent because these insane people wanted $5k+ and nobody was paying that. Not even the county.

Most sad to me is all the seniors displaced in life who have lost everything. As a nurse this hurts me so badly. I’ve taken some patients shopping for groceries, taken them places to get assistance etc. One of my patients was a local tv legend sports caster. Their son stole all their life savings then he disappeared. Now the parents are homeless.

Extended family should be helping each other. And where are the safety nets? People complained that their taxes were helping poor people so the Repubs slowly and gradually did away with them. This homelessness will really get bad if the Repubs succeed in doing away with SS and Medicare. Voters need to pay attention and realize they or family members just may need help, a safety net, some day.

Widen your perspective and look from a different angle than blaming 'us' for helping 'foreign affairs'. We need to keep communism and or enemies of Democracy from gaining power or they'll over power us.

This is so sad, i hope the life of the people on this videos gets better. I didn't know how expensive it is to rent a place in America. In our country decent house with three bedrooms only cost $500 a YEAR.

They need to do a doc like this about the situation in Canada. Things are bad here too

@@mega-hb4re Almost no one in this country is having kids. I don't know if you have noticed this or not, but our pregnancy and birth rate is almost non-existent and we are in a population decline that has been getting worse for over ten years. It's interesting that we were prosperous with a high fertility rate only until the 80s. We literally will not have a functioning society by 2030, even if we all became pregnant and gave birth starting TODAY.

@@claudebourque9791there’s no parliament in the U.S. This isn’t UK or Europe or Japan. It’s Congress. US is at much vulnerable situation as they only have two party system, which are allowed to be bribed (they call it lobbying but it’s bribing by corporations). Having only two parties is the core of their political failure actually. And ability to lobby. They proudly call this “capitalism” while other countries call true extortions of average people. America is much much more corrupted than any other G7 nations and they spend too much money keeping so called “World Order” yet the corrupted like Biden gives so much money to the CCP Chinese by mandating the environment harming EVs that endorse modern slavery in African countries funded by CCP China. This is all because of greed. In America, greed for yourself comes first before respect for others, which they call “capitalism” and “American Dream”. The problem is America doesn’t have any great industry to sustain average Americans. And politicians don’t regulate anyone even monopoly corporations as they’re too hungry for the get rich fast. That’s why they have no universal healthcare. And America has always been this way. But too much progressive liberals are ruining the U.S. for the average Americans. They are becoming a third world country actually by eliminating the middle class. It’s sad actually. But American politicians have been this ruthless. It’s just the US is no longer in up and up economy, yet all these corporations are expected to continue operating in double or triple growth. It’s ridiculous and unrealistic actually. Investors think America is still in 50s or something.

That little boy of 13 really got to me. He has been put into circumstances that have caused him to be troubled and fretful about his living conditions. When he said, "I have to be the man of the house," he really is taking on those responsibilities of an adult. 💔 All these children and families are out there, and the lack of affordable housing makes it near impossible to save money, let alone have enough for a deposit. These children may suffer chronic illness, nutrition, education, and so many maladies and mental health problems that are compounded by not having access to medical care. I donate to shelters (the one's that do not charge a cent, everything is free) and I donate my time when I can and then see documentaries like this and wish I could do more. I'm just this tiny drop in an ocean. Idk, sad because I do not think this can be resolved by society to such a complex issues. Now, the government could make a huge difference...if they decide to stop spending our tax money unnecessarily and with absurdity!!! Prayers for all of us 🩷

Been there.... And when your car breaks down with major repairs that you cannot pay...then you are out of a job AND a home! I watched my car roll down into a ravine and I about lost my mind. It worked out, but the people you work with have no idea how everyday tasks that they take for granted such bathing, cooking or using the bathroom in the middle of the night while the snow is up to your tush is very difficult and more time consuming. There is more assistance for addicts than there are for average hard working people who are single and have the entire weight on their shoulders. Something is wrong!!!

I wish there was an update on all these families and they make it 😢.

This was 2008 . So much has happened since then. 52 year old Larry Dodson would now be 67 . Did he ever get back on his feet again . An update on everyone's progress would be interesting .

I’m half homeless right now too and have been without electricity for two months. I’m also a business owner and a single mother. Florida had a ridiculous surge in rent the last few years and it’s nearly impossible to find housing that’s affordable for the average family. The state literally does nothing- I’m forced to not eat anything some days and am underweight because of it, so I finally caved and applied for benefits. It’s been two months and it’s still pending. I wish so badly I could move to a different state but my ex refuses to budge so im stuck since we share custody. My heart truly goes out to these families. I never thought I’d be in this position, and I’m sure they didn’t either. I pray that a solution is found soon.

Take all the benefits you can because really, what else is there when they have taken all the opportunities from you? You can also get lists of food banks and soup kitchens and look for the free sidewalk pantries you can use anonymously. You have to scramble when you are poor, but there is no shame in it. If you see any chance to get ahead, take it.
