I live in the US and work in emergency psychiatric care primarily with homeless people. It's always hard to find treatment, housing, food, work for them. But this year has been a nightmare. Even the homeless shelters are turning people away. Rehabs are closed to new patients, most places aren't hiring (especially places that employ felons), offices where you get your ID and apply for SSDI are online-only which doesn't help people who don't have a phone. This year has sucked for everyone, and a lot of people have lost their jobs and are scared of what the future will bring. But if you have a safe place to sleep every night, if you have food in your fridge, be grateful. Many people are one bad car accident away from losing their livelihood and their home. If you know where you are going to sleep tonight and if you know that you will have a meal tomorrow, you are okay. Many are not.
Yes indeed, being grateful is one way to keep your humanity. Never take anything for granted because you can be in the same position. No one is immune from misfortune
A very special old farmer saved me from homelessness...and I'll never be able to thank him as much as he deserves. I grew up in the woods...I spent most of my time homeless in the same place...was near the river, was able to bath in it...had this little Coleman solar panel to charge my phone...my bike, tent...it wasn't all bad, at first. But it got worse...much worse...I dropped so much weight I was at an all time low of 106 pounds. But starting when the old farmer took me in...I've since got some medical help, and approved for disability...gained all my weight back...life is getting better, slowly but surely. I am hoping soon I might be well enough to be able to work again. I want to be able to give back...like all the people who helped me.
TY TY males seem to be the ones who are given the dollars by passers by in this town. Most of the women I know rarely receive donations. I think it is because they clean up and dress in cloths which tend to make them appear as if they have a home. They live in their cars, like me. Females are faced with fear at night. Myself and another woman , she is 73 and I am 62, had our tires slashed at the place where we sleep. The guy who did it used a crowbar. She is in a motel room and I am searching for a new place to go. Rent is too damn high... and living in the hood (high crime rate) is the only option for some elderly women.
I don't think it matters what gender you are, being on the streets at night is terrible. I have never spent more than a couple of nights on the streets because I'm gifted with good family and it makes me feel so dam lucky but at the same time so dam sad that we are failing so bad at being humans by letting people fall through the cracks like this, I mean WTF is a 62yo and 72yo doing on the streets, we need to look at ourselves and book our ideas up because if this selfish attitude carries on I'm afraid Mother Earth won't want to host us anymore.
Hello concerned citizen, to say that I'm SICK of all the things being done to this country, would be a massive understatement, let me be clear, I could live my life on a day-to-day basis and never give this lack of control another thought, if it was only myself that no one else listen to. But I can no longer sit by, while Millions of my fellow citizen"s feel the same way on these same issues and are still ignored, while at the same time a small number of mostly greedy individuals can do whatever they want.

I've been homeless and no one can imagine the hunger and I thirst. Not to mention just wanting to brush your teeth. Bless everyone who helps the homeless. You can't imagine their struggles
It was very hard for me to find a shower. Once I showered in a place once or twice, they would close it off or restrict me specifically. Showers would happen once every 3 days if lucky. No wonder so many give up the idea out there
Gary Nelson that’s pretty shallow thinking. A large enough portion of homeless people have mental illnesses and require some form of dependence. I think it’s wrong to compare the struggles of yourself to others when we are all different.
You guys should social distance, make sure you stay home all day, don’t talk to anyone so your life will become more miserable 😃 but I’ll have lots of fun in my Manson and I don’t need to social distance or anything, yay! Also defund the police, I have my own security so yay!!!
@@xkmto , not really it's the same thing as the BLM movement, all of these people are jumping on the bandwagon because they want to be relevant and look like they care. Where were they before the Floyd incident?t the shit with the police was still going on before then, it was just not broadcasted for all to see. Now everyone is using that platform to get their issues seen. Same bullshit different day.
@@areaboy777 so they should stop giving money or helping or trying to fix the system because they haven't always felt that way before George Floyd? That's ridiculous.
Thank u for being so kind to your fellow man, we all need help sometimes and i pray that god helps this man as much as possible in Jesus Christ name a-men
@@TrickeyFitness atheists shoving this rhetoric down your throat anytime they can is no different from religious people shoving thier rhetoric down your throat anytime they can.
It baffles me how a person can become homeless in the most powerful and richest country in the world. I am from India and I can understand that India has lot of homeless people, because of population, economy, lack of opportunities are genuine problem. But country like USA and UK is hard to comprehend.
@@gonnabeok ...or bringing God into a problem humans have created themselves, im homeless and have been since early last year; i love seeing people brush responsibility to their feeble excuse for a caring God
Seriously. I live in the States, where the administration and its followers are of the mindset that the vulnerable ones are going to die anyway, so don’t bother trying to help them... when in fact any civilized society should be protecting those who are vulnerable.
I did almost 18 months being homeless in Boston MA.USA And finally got myself in a studio apartment.i have health problems so I understand what you mean about being sick on the street is bad very very bad. God bless us all we are all gods children.
People who say "the homeless are lazy" are so wrong. This man is doing the best he can. He is being proactive about finding solutions and clearly communicating issues with people who may be able to help. My heart goes out to this man and all homeless people of Earth. It's time our governments raise up the downtrodden.
Absolutely. Totally agree with you. Sometimes some of us complain too much about any and everything, without realising or remembering how good we’ve actually got it.
@@ATrashStudio The US spends many billions on programs for homelessness (there are tens of thousands of programs of all kinds) drug treatment, medical, shelters, food pantries, housing programs, etc) Having worked in mental health and homeless programs for many years, the biggest issue is addiction. Almost as soon as you think you have someone settled into a place, furnished, set up with a doctor and financial benefits, they tear it down by trashing their apartment and selling everything for drugs and then get evicted. It happens over and over again. People who think ending homelessness is as easy as putting a roof over someone's head don't know the extent of the problem.
Money doesn't come for free. Nothing in life comes for free. You must sacrifice something in order to get something. Those who are not willing to sacrifice remain poor. You need to spend time learning new skills to make money. How many are willing to give up their free time for a future outcome? This is the reason why there is the imbalance.
If you think some people deserve to be fed & sheltered - basic human rights - & others deserve to curl up & die without help; that picking & choosing who gets help based on appearances is an acceptable & humane thing to do then your implicit biases need to be looked at deeply. I'm not having a go at you, I'm urging you to have a good think about this.
@Speaking Truth spoken like someone who's never experienced having to live every moment in your wits with nothing, & eventually finding that without a crutch the world was unbearable. Without empathy, without KNOWING what a week in the life of another person is like, comments like these are so horribly ignorant. It would do you good to spend some time chatting with homeless people & actually asking them how they feel. How safe they feel. What they need to do to get through each night & what they do when they can't have a shower or wash their clothes for 8 days & how that destroys them? What do they do to cope? Then reflect on what you'd do to cope.
I went homeless last year for a couple of months after a bad stir of luck in 2019. By far the most traumatic experiences I ever had in my life. Mentally I was so broken down I'm so thankful my family took me in.
I am jobless but I still have a roof over my head and my heart goes out to the homeless out there. Society as a whole has definitely failed us. I will do my best to help out and donate whatever savings I have to the right people and make sure I can make a small change. God bless everyone that is suffering out there. Hang in there and don't lose hope.
Your honesty, and humbleness will take you places. I hope you will find your place in society again. We all have our struggles, some more , or less than others. I do hope all works out well for you and all the homeless people in our world.
I feel like London doesn’t care about homeless at all. I remember waking up about 5 am and seeing the whole street filled with sleeping bags, it made me so angry to see so many people with such little help, especially now.
Still better than America. Everything you see on TV is nothing but glitter hiding the homeless. It’s disturbing. I’m in a supervisor position with a great company, educated, etc.but everyone is just one paycheck from being homeless. This was before the pandemic. We really need to force universal health care and democratic socialism everywhere. Be less nationalist. Focus on global community. We can do this but only together. Everyone deserves food, a roof, and all of the basics to live.
I was homeless for 3 months and i used the tools and services and got myself off the street got a job a car but people need to experience this to understand it watching videos dosent do the justice but depending on what state you live in determines if you can get out quick or not
@Speaking Truth That's definitely not always the case, especially depending what drugs you do. But it's a simple question of mindset. There are strong people and weak people. Strong people can bring themselves to do things they don't want to do because they know they have to, whether that's using the services even while you're fucked up or being able to stop getting fucked up to improve yourself ect. All depends on control
@Speaking Truth high/drunk: was able to find housing after being homeless for 15 years. It depends on what your on too. Sometimes being sober decreases your chances because they consider that unmedicated and if your out there long enough you'd be drunk too. Substances take the edge off. Some people move on from it some don't but if you can handle your buzz and your not lazy, or messy, you might find a way out.
In my experience it's mainly drugs/alcohol, and mental illness that causes chronic homelessness. This guy will probably get out of it, if he isn't addicted.
Noah Mosher Noah Mosher yes those are the MAIN reasons ( not the only ones ) that can cause repeat homelessness, that’s not what i’m disagreeing with nor was the OP originally stating. They were saying if you were homeless and did drugs or alcohol you weren’t gonna stop being homeless. Not the case as it depends which drugs and mostly depends on the persons mindset, control, and other factors. The individual however.
This is where “We’re all In this together” is so true ! If they get sick like us it’s going to spread and we’ve got to do anything we can to help each other and that means everyone!!!
they turned off all the recycling machines! i used to make $400 a month from that. (i'm not homeless anymore but i still depend on the same things i did when i was homeless)
And it's very doubtful they are going to turn them back on... Those companies make billions off our trash, but get out of all responsibility when it comes to paying anything back...
When the recycling centers closed here in S.Oregon our homeless population was hit hard. It was the first time I’d seen those living rough abandon loads of recyclables to seek shelter elsewhere. Our state has one of the highest return rates on bottles and cans.
Yikes - it took him five weeks and he was familiar with resources. What about the people pushed into homelessness because of the pandemic who are not familiar with resources?😱
Speaking Truth While that is true, homeless is still a huge issue in which this country isn’t really doing anything about. Most organizations made for homeless people and other issues, are not funded by the government, because in reality they don’t care. (But that’s just what I’ve concluded, it’s up to others to help too.)
@@useyourbrain-vm8li if that's the inference you're making, you're a massive dipshit. The point was, @James R justifies homelessness by saying "homeless people have always existed in every society", I followed that up with "so have murderers and pedophiles." However, that doesn't make it right. Get it now?
Thank you Vice and David for availing yourselves to share regarding the struggles we often take for granted. As a Malaysian, and in my early naiveness, I had the impression that the city (ex. Kuala Lumpur) would be the place where dreams were made, an environment where zero poverty and homelessness exist. Little did I know that there were countless homeless people especially in the heart of the city who will be gathering there to find shelter in the late nights when the major public has gone to sleep peacefully at home. I thank God for all the non profits and social entrepreneurs that are doing all they can in supporting those in need especially during seasons of social distancing. I hope all of us including myself will continue to do what we can to also help out with our talents, skills, times, etc in different shapes and forms. Stay M.A.D. (making a difference) and God Bless. all the way.
'Charge up the device' ends up being a huge problem for homeless. Stimulus payments don't go to these folks. Many don't have a bank account or a street address.
It is wonderful though how things have improved. I was homeless for 10 years roughly from 1969. At that time there was no support at all. Police kept moving us on so we never got a night's sleep. No shelters and the only food was from the very sparse (only one soup kitchen I knew of) Salvation Army who expected you to stand and sing hymns with them for about an hour before giving you a bowl of soup. I worked whenever I could but it was difficult without any adequate sleep. Most nights in the winter months I laid down of a night not expecting to wake up again. Most people despised us and attacked us frequently. Thanks largely to a few good people I survived and turned my luck around. Most rough sleepers I met had some sort of mental problem but were scared to seek help because it could mean a lifetime in a mental institution if you were certified. This guy is going through some difficulties for sure but he doesn't know how lucky he is to be living in this time when so much is available for the homeless. There still needs to be more of course and there needs to be more attention paid to the causes of homelessness.
Been homeless in vegas for awhile now ... I had all my IDs birth cert and SSN and work cards all stolen and I was doing well finding water until Covid hit now I struggle everyday to find water I'm to shy to pan handle for money before covid ...and this Vegas heat is killing me
Being homeless is a failure on society's part, not the individual! Government's functions should always be to ensure the most vulnerable are protected but now more than ever
No. How can you blame the system when almost everyone has a home and some sort of income. Homeless people can only blame themselves. Sure, shit happens, your life turns into hell in a night, but my dude, don't take one bad night and turn it into a lifetime.
People are homeless for 2 reasons. 1) Drug abuse and 2)mental health issues. Both of which precede homelessness. Blaming society and government is equivalent to blaming yourself.
This makes me sooooo sad, I've been there and it ain't nice at all. I was in my 20s at the time. I'm 43 now and when I look and watch these small films it hits hard and makes a fully grown man hold back his tears. I wish I could make a charity up or something.anyone out there who could help me help the homeless would be beautiful.
Im a native las vegan... im so sorry... im a heroin addict who barely maintains a roof over my own head so i cant offer any help. But i absolutely empathize and sympathize with you. It is essentially illegal to be homeless here in vegas. Our system is so cruel. And it is so goddamn hot.
We have the luxury of a safe home to lockdown in with access to food and cooking. It makes you feel very humble. I always buys drinks and food but have not been out to towns since March
When i was homeless i had the best and worst times in my life. I traveled alot and started not to care about anything, that is when I started to enjoy my life. I met many people who helped me, but most people ignored me. The worst was when it was cold and raining and i had to sleep outside. I couldn't imagine being homeless during this pandemic though. McDonald's kept me alive for awhile. I'm not sure they'd let you walk through the drive thru, but using the bathroom was important too
God bless this man and the hard times he must endure in his everyday life. On the other spectrum you have a bunch of cry babies complaining that the patios aren't open. Or the fact some individuals really want to go to the movie theater or get their hair done. I want to hear less of those people, and more from people like this gentleman in the video. Thanks for helping us keep things in perspective. The things we take for granted. You would LOVE to know what is happening in the news. We are complaining from all the news. You would love to charge your phone/net to go on the web. We are all complaining how "bored" we are at home after binging every episode on Netflix. You would love to eat a good meal. We are getting fat from eating every single morsel of food in our fridge.
I got kicked out of my house for 3 days and let me tell you it was rough. Nowhere to use the restroom nowhere to legally park and sleep in my town .during the pandemic It was the worst experience I've had in a long time
Thank you for shedding light on this issue !!!! Regardless of status in society we are all from the same maker and bleed the same color. I'm approximately about 3 weeks from being homeless myself. I live in a clean and sober home, which I'm truly blessed and grateful for. I have a couple of health issues going on and the healing process is going to take more time than first thought of. My funding (thank God for) is ending the last day of August and I'm pretty concerned with my ability to keep or find some other funding agency to help me. I live in Stockton, California and there's really no funding through county programs because of Covid-19. My wounds that are slowly healing is keeping myself from working to pay the 525.00 a month need fee. This is really, really bad timing for all of this !!! Again, Thank You for sharing this video with us all. If anyone might be from my area and know of any agencies or other organizations that would be able, willing to help me I'd greatly appreciate the info. JUST comment on this and I'll see what info is there. Thank You.. God Bless You All !!!! Rudy Duran...🤔🤔
With recent events of people pretending to be homeless to cash in, we've forgotten that there's plenty of guys like him, who truly needs help out there. God bless him, he seems like a real chill dude
I have been homeless, I can't imagine what it would be like during the pandemic. It was a couple years ago, and I thankfully am comfortably living in my own apartment now... But it's really hard, and it's miserable. It gave me so much appreciation for the little things, if I didn't learn to appreciate little things I would've lost my mind. To anyone out there who is currently homeless, it is possible to change your situation. You are not doomed to this fate, you can take control of your life and live it to the fullest.
I’m homeless from today I’m staying in a friends house for a few days but after that I’ll have no home to stay at and I’m 19 and have mental health issues
Weve all been homeless at some point or another in life (myself included) and theres no shame in that! Keep your head up no matter the circumstances and no matter what happens in life... never stop moving forward
I am in Toronto Canada. I work in heath care. I take public transit to work. One key memory I have had during the Pandemic especially in March and April when the city was like a ghost town is the fact the only people I was regular seeing out where homeless people. They were sleeping on the trains and Stations. While most people out like myself that had to go to work wearing masks, gloves, facesheilds and sanitizer at side. Most stores closed. It has been meaningful hearing his experiences. Very sad situation.
I work w the homeless in westchester County NY...when it hit NY/NYC in early March it was insane..lots of our clients got sick then we all caught it due to PPE shortages and lack of resources and funding...nobody cared about them or us but we will keep serving them and helping them no matter what because that's what we do....i lost several coworkers and clients to this horrible disease...i caught it myself in April and it took over a month for me 2 get better...im a healthy 36 old mother of 2 small kids...#NYSTRONG
I was homeless on and off for a total of two years (mostly in 2000-2001 and a little bit in 2010 and 2011). Hygiene was the hardest thing. Cold showers were free in the city's park but at times, dangerous when you're on your own and female. There were so many food options available for homeless people back then. In most situations when you need something, you just have to ask. Except for money. People are really starting to get sick of beggars in the city!
How exactly are you forced to leave a full time job?? Did you get fired or quit? Plus this dude is barely homeless, he has an income and was going to buy a boat?!?!?! Seems kind of entitled to be honest, like the world is expected to feed you??? Feed yourself dude...
I can’t watch yet, I’m too empathetic and already taking on a lot of volunteer work but I’ll be back. Just hang on tight everyone and love each other even a little more EVERY DAY. Unconditional love will see us through.
I was a homeless before and i survived by drinking water without any food or sometimes i'm looking for food in the garbage. I hope those people who can help please help him! I know how hard being a homeless. 😥
Seems like a good enough guy I couldn’t imagine living on the streets during a pandemic. God bless this man and everyone else who might need a little extra help during these unprecedented times.
At least be honest, you don't care about the homeless, so many times you passed near them trying to avoid the eye contact, and you are sitting in your comfy house watching this videos and forgetting about them the very next second
I've never done this and I've always made it a point to help whenever I see them on the street ...never in my life have I ignored the homeless becuase the homeless, the prostitutes, the drug addicts , and the ex prisoners helped my mother raise me.
@@dirkdiggler1242 I know that in today's world it takes so little for a man , woman , or child to become a homeless person and I know that this situation is something that no one wishes for upon a damn shooting star at night. On top of this to be homeless during this pandemic while the world is crumbling to pieces and burning is nothing short of a curse and I really hope we can all pull through this , get back to living normally, and have hope /a future again. I don't know you but I hope that your doing okay and I hope that you will not give up, I hope you will be courageous, and I hope that you will do what you can to cheer other people up and remind them that they aren't alone. 🐸👍
i have no family and i work really hard to rent a room. But you need help to get there sometimes. I haven't needed that help, but I'm happy to feel safe knowing I have nice people that care. I am 31 and i don stand alone.
A person can Bathe with $1 price dishwashing liquid (a Tip) lasts months. Alot cheaper than buying bar soaps. Can even use it on hair on head put it in back pack with toothpaste and brush.
I took in a homeless man, many years , a very intelligent man, after a couple of weeks of being well cared for he managed to get a job and shortly after a period in time , he moved on. Hope he did well for himself after all these years, he would be about 70+ today. It's always a good thing to help those in need but in today's times the help that these homeless people need, have become much harder to attain much less then maintain.
Happen to me my roommate took our money . left me my husband my son homeless most stressfull time in my life. My husband selpt outside found a job saved everything got us out of our situtation. I had to stay in a shelter with many people in our room it was tough my son has autism.Keep your head up we did it so can other people stay strong. Now i got a job offer at sea world he got a new job offer as well so we can keep our house. I pray for everyone in a bad situtation so they can get out of it . God bless you keep your faith. 🙏💕💗
When I was younger, like 10 years old, i gave money to every homeless people i saw. There were one guy I walked past nearly every day and I must have given hundreds of dollars to him😂 He said he was moving, so i and a friend gave him food and water for his journey. Later he came back and still remembered me😂 for example when I broke my arm he was sorry for me. I later stopped giving money to homeless people cuz I learned more about it and my friends thought the guy was discusting, but he still said hi to me whenever i walked by. Now he moved out of this country and hopefully he has a job now❤️
He's saying the systems in place don't think of everything despite the organizations best intentions. People outside the system assume the programs in place take care of everything when they, as you can see, dont. Can't qurentine on an empty stomach.
sincerelylittleone it’s easier to criticize the system, than take responsibility for your own life. I was homeless as a child and I didn’t just sit around asking people to help me. I grabbed paint cans and sprayed address numbers for $5 to get something to eat. Slept in a tent in the local camp grounds. At some point you have to take your life into your own hands instead of pretending like you don’t exist. That you aren’t inside of your own body, but some floating creature that can only comment on life instead of participating in it.
I have never in my 40 years seen a homeless person so clean kept, have such clear skin, speak so eloquently, own a phone, or own a computer. He has all of these things, but he's homeless? 🤔
some homeless people is just normal fellows , they have a job and a normal life and suddenly they lose their jobs and have no saving and no support , that's why they are become homeless .

Welcome to our world. Now the old school homeless will be forgotten when this new class hits the streets
Truth
Yes indeed, being grateful is one way to keep your humanity. Never take anything for granted because you can be in the same position. No one is immune from misfortune
Tough to hear. Thanks for tour work tho. Really admirable and respectful.
We definitely need to pray. The Father will make a way as we can see, in America especially trusting in man more than God is risky.

Was honeless too was back and forth through cities crashing on couches etc currently getting help too it's rough for young males or older males.
TY TY males seem to be the ones who are given the dollars by passers by in this town. Most of the women I know rarely receive donations.

Sincerely yours Citizen's Briefing
I've been homeless and no one can imagine the hunger and I thirst. Not to mention just wanting to brush your teeth. Bless everyone who helps the homeless. You can't imagine their struggles
It was very hard for me to find a shower. Once I showered in a place once or twice, they would close it off or restrict me specifically. Showers would happen once every 3 days if lucky. No wonder so many give up the idea out there
@Gary Nelson Gary what happened?
How did you end up getting this way? I have been there
I'm not trying to invade on your privacy. I share in your struggles
Gary Nelson that’s pretty shallow thinking. A large enough portion of homeless people have mental illnesses and require some form of dependence. I think it’s wrong to compare the struggles of yourself to others when we are all different.
And here people whining about how they have to stay at home! And their life is ruined bcos they cannot go party and club!
Very well said ✌🏻
well said friend well said
Exactly!
Agree
You guys should social distance, make sure you stay home all day, don’t talk to anyone so your life will become more miserable 😃 but I’ll have lots of fun in my Manson and I don’t need to social distance or anything, yay! Also defund the police, I have my own security so yay!!!
Such an articulate, well spoken man; really makes awful thing he was put in such a situation.
He doesn't have to be homeless. He is functional.
So if he wasn't articulate and intelligent it wouldn't be such a pity? What about a mute person? Would that be less of a tragedy?
Liam Garry His has was flooded and he lost that and his job, did you actually watch the video???
Liam Garry Right? I wonder what is stopping him from getting his life together? Who knows, certainly none of us in this TH-cam comment section
Ben Hall Bro, you’re being weird, I was just saying that he looks and acts like such a normal person. You would never think he is homeless
Bless these people man. I can't even begin to know what this is like. This is crazy eye opening.

@@xkmto , not really it's the same thing as the BLM movement, all of these people are jumping on the bandwagon because they want to be relevant and look like they care. Where were they before the Floyd incident?t the shit with the police was still going on before then, it was just not broadcasted for all to see. Now everyone is using that platform to get their issues seen. Same bullshit different day.

It baffles me how a person can become homeless in the most powerful and richest country in the world. I am from India and I can understand that India has lot of homeless people, because of population, economy, lack of opportunities are genuine problem. But country like USA and UK is hard to comprehend.

I'm glad to hear you're okay now. God bless and prayers to the homeless 💔🙏
People who say "the homeless are lazy" are so wrong. This man is doing the best he can. He is being proactive about finding solutions and clearly communicating issues with people who may be able to help. My heart goes out to this man and all homeless people of Earth. It's time our governments raise up the downtrodden.
Is he?
Not buying it, he is making a choice.
Your heart goes out to them, but not a single dollar.
Yep it's a lot of work being homeless.
Maybe if he spent 5 weeks working instead of looking for a hand out
Prayers to all those effected by homelessness... That could easily be any of us
Just to be able to comment on this video from the comfort of home
Is a blessing. Sometimes all take certain things for granted ✌🏿
you or your family has worked to achieve that peace and comfort of your home. It's not a blessing. You reap what you sow.
Absolutely. Totally agree with you.
Sometimes some of us complain too much about any and everything, without realising or remembering how good we’ve actually got it.

@Speaking Truth What about the larger countries like the US with a way larger homeless problem and offers way less help and services
@@ATrashStudio The US spends many billions on programs for homelessness (there are tens of thousands of programs of all kinds) drug treatment, medical, shelters, food pantries, housing programs, etc) Having worked in mental health and homeless programs for many years, the biggest issue is addiction. Almost as soon as you think you have someone settled into a place, furnished, set up with a doctor and financial benefits, they tear it down by trashing their apartment and selling everything for drugs and then get evicted. It happens over and over again. People who think ending homelessness is as easy as putting a roof over someone's head don't know the extent of the problem.
Money doesn't come for free. Nothing in life comes for free. You must sacrifice something in order to get something. Those who are not willing to sacrifice remain poor. You need to spend time learning new skills to make money. How many are willing to give up their free time for a future outcome? This is the reason why there is the imbalance.
He’s the kind of homeless dude people don’t mind helping, because he reminds people that anyone can end up homeless
no one will help you. well london at least has some structures .. damn
If you think some people deserve to be fed & sheltered - basic human rights - & others deserve to curl up & die without help; that picking & choosing who gets help based on appearances is an acceptable & humane thing to do then your implicit biases need to be looked at deeply. I'm not having a go at you, I'm urging you to have a good think about this.
It helps a ton to be white, speak a fairly posh variety of English, etc.
@Speaking Truth spoken like someone who's never experienced having to live every moment in your wits with nothing, & eventually finding that without a crutch the world was unbearable. Without empathy, without KNOWING what a week in the life of another person is like, comments like these are so horribly ignorant. It would do you good to spend some time chatting with homeless people & actually asking them how they feel. How safe they feel. What they need to do to get through each night & what they do when they can't have a shower or wash their clothes for 8 days & how that destroys them? What do they do to cope? Then reflect on what you'd do to cope.
I went homeless last year for a couple of months after a bad stir of luck in 2019. By far the most traumatic experiences I ever had in my life. Mentally I was so broken down I'm so thankful my family took me in.
I am jobless but I still have a roof over my head and my heart goes out to the homeless out there. Society as a whole has definitely failed us. I will do my best to help out and donate whatever savings I have to the right people and make sure I can make a small change. God bless everyone that is suffering out there. Hang in there and don't lose hope.

I feel like London doesn’t care about homeless at all. I remember waking up about 5 am and seeing the whole street filled with sleeping bags, it made me so angry to see so many people with such little help, especially now.
Still better than America. Everything you see on TV is nothing but glitter hiding the homeless. It’s disturbing. I’m in a supervisor position with a great company, educated, etc.but everyone is just one paycheck from being homeless. This was before the pandemic. We really need to force universal health care and democratic socialism everywhere. Be less nationalist. Focus on global community. We can do this but only together. Everyone deserves food, a roof, and all of the basics to live.
@@TrippyBendyHippie So true!

Patience W Then shouldn’t you be helping?
I was homeless for 3 months and i used the tools and services and got myself off the street got a job a car but people need to experience this to understand it watching videos dosent do the justice but depending on what state you live in determines if you can get out quick or not
@Speaking Truth That's definitely not always the case, especially depending what drugs you do. But it's a simple question of mindset. There are strong people and weak people. Strong people can bring themselves to do things they don't want to do because they know they have to, whether that's using the services even while you're fucked up or being able to stop getting fucked up to improve yourself ect. All depends on control
@Speaking Truth high/drunk: was able to find housing after being homeless for 15 years. It depends on what your on too. Sometimes being sober decreases your chances because they consider that unmedicated and if your out there long enough you'd be drunk too. Substances take the edge off. Some people move on from it some don't but if you can handle your buzz and your not lazy, or messy, you might find a way out.
@@princessannabelle4524 maybe if u weren't high/drunk it would have happened sooner than 15 years...
In my experience it's mainly drugs/alcohol, and mental illness that causes chronic homelessness. This guy will probably get out of it, if he isn't addicted.
Noah Mosher Noah Mosher yes those are the MAIN reasons ( not the only ones ) that can cause repeat homelessness, that’s not what i’m disagreeing with nor was the OP originally stating. They were saying if you were homeless and did drugs or alcohol you weren’t gonna stop being homeless. Not the case as it depends which drugs and mostly depends on the persons mindset, control, and other factors. The individual however.
This is where “We’re all
In this together” is so true ! If they get sick like us it’s going to spread and we’ve got to do anything we can to help each other and that means everyone!!!

Start a go fund me? I’ll help.?
they turned off all the recycling machines! i used to make $400 a month from that. (i'm not homeless anymore but i still depend on the same things i did when i was homeless)
And it's very doubtful they are going to turn them back on... Those companies make billions off our trash, but get out of all responsibility when it comes to paying anything back...
The place near me only allows one person in the recycling room at time, 20 minute limit and two bag maximum.
When the recycling centers closed here in S.Oregon our homeless population was hit hard. It was the first time I’d seen those living rough abandon loads of recyclables to seek shelter elsewhere. Our state has one of the highest return rates on bottles and cans.
@Ashley C Then they need to stop charging CRV on the bottles...
@Ashley C I will be doing videos of backyard recycling. Melting down plastic or metal cans, and making something useful out of it.
Thank you so much for sharing with such clarity and honesty
Yeah very surprising for vice to be honest
Yikes - it took him five weeks and he was familiar with resources. What about the people pushed into homelessness because of the pandemic who are not familiar with resources?😱
The homeless are always ignored unfortunately
Why are you literally everywhere
Speaking Truth While that is true, homeless is still a huge issue in which this country isn’t really doing anything about. Most organizations made for homeless people and other issues, are not funded by the government, because in reality they don’t care. (But that’s just what I’ve concluded, it’s up to others to help too.)
He's a grown man and ask why isn't anybody feeding him 🤦♂️
Oh my God, I just started to tear up seeing this interview. It is just a nightmare no one deserves.
How broken does a society have to be to leave an intelligent sound-minded person like this homeless?
How broken does society have to be to allow homelessness at all?
Homeless people have always existed in every society.
@@jamesr5574 so have murderers and pedophiles. What's your point?
Stark so, to be clear, you’re putting homelessness in the same category as murderers and pedophiles?
@@useyourbrain-vm8li if that's the inference you're making, you're a massive dipshit.
The point was, @James R justifies homelessness by saying "homeless people have always existed in every society", I followed that up with "so have murderers and pedophiles."
However, that doesn't make it right.
Get it now?
Thank you Vice and David for availing yourselves to share regarding the struggles we often take for granted. As a Malaysian, and in my early naiveness, I had the impression that the city (ex. Kuala Lumpur) would be the place where dreams were made, an environment where zero poverty and homelessness exist. Little did I know that there were countless homeless people especially in the heart of the city who will be gathering there to find shelter in the late nights when the major public has gone to sleep peacefully at home.
I thank God for all the non profits and social entrepreneurs that are doing all they can in supporting those in need especially during seasons of social distancing. I hope all of us including myself will continue to do what we can to also help out with our talents, skills, times, etc in different shapes and forms. Stay M.A.D. (making a difference) and God Bless. all the way.

I want to hug this guy and give him a place to eat and live safely.
They don't ignore me as much now because they know they could be homeless as well..
When did you become homeless friend? good luck
'Charge up the device' ends up being a huge problem for homeless. Stimulus payments don't go to these folks. Many don't have a bank account or a street address.
It is wonderful though how things have improved. I was homeless for 10 years roughly from 1969. At that time there was no support at all. Police kept moving us on so we never got a night's sleep. No shelters and the only food was from the very sparse (only one soup kitchen I knew of) Salvation Army who expected you to stand and sing hymns with them for about an hour before giving you a bowl of soup. I worked whenever I could but it was difficult without any adequate sleep. Most nights in the winter months I laid down of a night not expecting to wake up again. Most people despised us and attacked us frequently. Thanks largely to a few good people I survived and turned my luck around. Most rough sleepers I met had some sort of mental problem but were scared to seek help because it could mean a lifetime in a mental institution if you were certified. This guy is going through some difficulties for sure but he doesn't know how lucky he is to be living in this time when so much is available for the homeless. There still needs to be more of course and there needs to be more attention paid to the causes of homelessness.
Been homeless in vegas for awhile now ... I had all my IDs birth cert and SSN and work cards all stolen and I was doing well finding water until Covid hit now I struggle everyday to find water I'm to shy to pan handle for money before covid ...and this Vegas heat is killing me
Being homeless is a failure on society's part, not the individual! Government's functions should always be to ensure the most vulnerable are protected but now more than ever
No. How can you blame the system when almost everyone has a home and some sort of income. Homeless people can only blame themselves. Sure, shit happens, your life turns into hell in a night, but my dude, don't take one bad night and turn it into a lifetime.
@@Dfjs427 ^doesn't get it
People are homeless for 2 reasons. 1) Drug abuse and 2)mental health issues. Both of which precede homelessness. Blaming society and government is equivalent to blaming yourself.
Dextozz this man literally lost his house due to a flood and subsequently his job, how is that his fault in anyway
99% of homeless people are drugged out scumbags. What you said is probably top 5 most retarded TH-cam comments i have ever seen lmfaoooooo
I Understand This struggle it's very stressful being homeless but the added stress of a global pandemic literally makes your hair fall out
This makes me sooooo sad, I've been there and it ain't nice at all. I was in my 20s at the time. I'm 43 now and when I look and watch these small films it hits hard and makes a fully grown man hold back his tears. I wish I could make a charity up or something.anyone out there who could help me help the homeless would be beautiful.
So many amazing ppl with amazing comments
I tested positive for Covid. I am now in a big tent in downtown Las Vegas. They are closing it on June 30. Don't know where I will go after that.
How do you feel my man?
Im a native las vegan... im so sorry... im a heroin addict who barely maintains a roof over my own head so i cant offer any help. But i absolutely empathize and sympathize with you. It is essentially illegal to be homeless here in vegas. Our system is so cruel. And it is so goddamn hot.

i just was homeless for a month living out of my car. it was kinda crazy not gonna lie but everyone will get through this very soon.
We have the luxury of a safe home to lockdown in with access to food and cooking. It makes you feel very humble. I always buys drinks and food but have not been out to towns since March
What a strong spirit I hope he documents his journey and be successful with his and other's stories.
When i was homeless i had the best and worst times in my life. I traveled alot and started not to care about anything, that is when I started to enjoy my life. I met many people who helped me, but most people ignored me. The worst was when it was cold and raining and i had to sleep outside. I couldn't imagine being homeless during this pandemic though. McDonald's kept me alive for awhile. I'm not sure they'd let you walk through the drive thru, but using the bathroom was important too
Prayers for all who are homeless
Why not do something that actually works?

is there a way to make this man a go fund me, or send him money, ANYTHING?? This man should not be on the streets.
God bless this man and the hard times he must endure in his everyday life. On the other spectrum you have a bunch of cry babies complaining that the patios aren't open. Or the fact some individuals really want to go to the movie theater or get their hair done. I want to hear less of those people, and more from people like this gentleman in the video. Thanks for helping us keep things in perspective. The things we take for granted. You would LOVE to know what is happening in the news. We are complaining from all the news. You would love to charge your phone/net to go on the web. We are all complaining how "bored" we are at home after binging every episode on Netflix. You would love to eat a good meal. We are getting fat from eating every single morsel of food in our fridge.
I slept next to a river here in Oregon during the pandemic. It could have been worse.
@Gary Nelson I think everyone should be entitled to a plot of land with access to clean water.

I got kicked out of my house for 3 days and let me tell you it was rough. Nowhere to use the restroom nowhere to legally park and sleep in my town .during the pandemic It was the worst experience I've had in a long time
Thank you for shedding light on this issue !!!! Regardless of status in society we are all from the same maker and bleed the same color. I'm approximately about 3 weeks from being homeless myself. I live in a clean and sober home, which I'm truly blessed and grateful for. I have a couple of health issues going on and the healing process is going to take more time than first thought of. My funding (thank God for) is ending the last day of August and I'm pretty concerned with my ability to keep or find some other funding agency to help me. I live in Stockton, California and there's really no funding through county programs because of Covid-19. My wounds that are slowly healing is keeping myself from working to pay the 525.00 a month need fee. This is really, really bad timing for all of this !!! Again, Thank You for sharing this video with us all. If anyone might be from my area and know of any agencies or other organizations that would be able, willing to help me I'd greatly appreciate the info. JUST comment on this and I'll see what info is there. Thank You.. God Bless You All !!!! Rudy Duran...🤔🤔
It really sucks having to work most of my waking life just to survive. I kind of envy this man.
Ive never seen a homeless guy like this guy before.. so intelligent
i studied theology off the street. came to exams out the woods in camo with my dog ...
With recent events of people pretending to be homeless to cash in, we've forgotten that there's plenty of guys like him, who truly needs help out there. God bless him, he seems like a real chill dude
It's shocking really how so many people are treated this way :'(
I have been homeless, I can't imagine what it would be like during the pandemic. It was a couple years ago, and I thankfully am comfortably living in my own apartment now... But it's really hard, and it's miserable. It gave me so much appreciation for the little things, if I didn't learn to appreciate little things I would've lost my mind. To anyone out there who is currently homeless, it is possible to change your situation. You are not doomed to this fate, you can take control of your life and live it to the fullest.
imagine being on your period and your homeless during the pandemic... Im so sorry if your going through this right now

I am in Toronto Canada. I work in heath care. I take public transit to work. One key memory I have had during the Pandemic especially in March and April when the city was like a ghost town is the fact the only people I was regular seeing out where homeless people. They were sleeping on the trains and Stations. While most people out like myself that had to go to work wearing masks, gloves, facesheilds and sanitizer at side. Most stores closed. It has been meaningful hearing his experiences. Very sad situation.
I work w the homeless in westchester County NY...when it hit NY/NYC in early March it was insane..lots of our clients got sick then we all caught it due to PPE shortages and lack of resources and funding...nobody cared about them or us but we will keep serving them and helping them no matter what because that's what we do....i lost several coworkers and clients to this horrible disease...i caught it myself in April and it took over a month for me 2 get better...im a healthy 36 old mother of 2 small kids...#NYSTRONG
I was homeless on and off for a total of two years (mostly in 2000-2001 and a little bit in 2010 and 2011). Hygiene was the hardest thing. Cold showers were free in the city's park but at times, dangerous when you're on your own and female. There were so many food options available for homeless people back then. In most situations when you need something, you just have to ask. Except for money. People are really starting to get sick of beggars in the city!
How exactly are you forced to leave a full time job?? Did you get fired or quit? Plus this dude is barely homeless, he has an income and was going to buy a boat?!?!?!

Once homeless that becomes their New Normal. It is extremely difficult to get out of the cycle and rut of homelessness. 🇺🇸
At least be honest, you don't care about the homeless, so many times you passed near them trying to avoid the eye contact, and you are sitting in your comfy house watching this videos and forgetting about them the very next second
I've never done this and I've always made it a point to help whenever I see them on the street ...never in my life have I ignored the homeless becuase the homeless, the prostitutes, the drug addicts , and the ex prisoners helped my mother raise me.

@@dirkdiggler1242 I know that in today's world it takes so little for a man , woman , or child to become a homeless person and I know that this situation is something that no one wishes for upon a damn shooting star at night.

Alot cheaper than buying bar soaps. Can even use it on hair on head put it in back pack with toothpaste and brush.
Poor dude and others that struggle for this. We all take it for granted. Bless him for this knowledge of his side.
I took in a homeless man, many years , a very intelligent man, after a couple of weeks of being well cared for he managed to get a job and shortly after a period in time , he moved on. Hope he did well for himself after all these years, he would be about 70+ today.
It's always a good thing to help those in need but in today's times the help that these homeless people need, have become much harder to attain much less then maintain.

Happen to me my roommate took our money . left me my husband my son homeless most stressfull time in my life. My husband selpt outside found a job saved everything got us out of our situtation. I had to stay in a shelter with many people in our room it was tough my son has autism.Keep your head up we did it so can other people stay strong. Now i got a job offer at sea world he got a new job offer as well so we can keep our house. I pray for everyone in a bad situtation so they can get out of it . God bless you keep your faith. 🙏💕💗
When I was younger, like 10 years old, i gave money to every homeless people i saw. There were one guy I walked past nearly every day and I must have given hundreds of dollars to him😂 He said he was moving, so i and a friend gave him food and water for his journey. Later he came back and still remembered me😂 for example when I broke my arm he was sorry for me. I later stopped giving money to homeless people cuz I learned more about it and my friends thought the guy was discusting, but he still said hi to me whenever i walked by. Now he moved out of this country and hopefully he has a job now❤️

He only talks about what people can do for him, and criticizing the quality of any help he does get.
He's saying the systems in place don't think of everything despite the organizations best intentions. People outside the system assume the programs in place take care of everything when they, as you can see, dont. Can't qurentine on an empty stomach.
sincerelylittleone it’s easier to criticize the system, than take responsibility for your own life. I was homeless as a child and I didn’t just sit around asking people to help me. I grabbed paint cans and sprayed address numbers for $5 to get something to eat. Slept in a tent in the local camp grounds. At some point you have to take your life into your own hands instead of pretending like you don’t exist. That you aren’t inside of your own body, but some floating creature that can only comment on life instead of participating in it.
Felt you on this one gal,was homeless living in a orchard with 3other people. Struggle was real.. all the way from LITTLE NZ. Kia kaha
Ouch. God bless this man. And all people dealing with homelessness and everything that comes along with it.
This guy has brains! Feed these people! Starving in a food exporting 1st world country should be a crime!
Wow god please bless this man. He seems like a great bloke just fell on really hard times 😔
I have never in my 40 years seen a homeless person so clean kept, have such clear skin, speak so eloquently, own a phone, or own a computer. He has all of these things, but he's homeless? 🤔
Just because you loose your domicile doesn't mean you look like a bum
some homeless people is just normal fellows , they have a job and a normal life and suddenly they lose their jobs and have no saving and no support , that's why they are become homeless .
