RIGHT! Now imagine being BLACK or HISPANIC and feelig like you MUST defend some dude ina suit or WOMAN making decisions for YOUR hood! Decisions like, an "Open door" policy for open Boarders UGGESTING they can find people who are not even HERE, while OUR people (Americans and so on) wait on a LIST for over a year or two or more!! Immigrants do not go to TRUMP Towers they come here. OUR homeless ... LMAO ...we have WINTER!
What a blessing to have a place to call your own even if small as is mine too (11squares) for this temporal life, as you say - somewhere to lay your head at night. I often think about the hundreds of millions of people who do not have a place such as I have or food such as I can buy, or clean water, or even clean air. But there are times when we can give a little to some others who are in need.
I was homeless in INDIA, and trust me it's a walk on thorns, single, christian, ALONE in spite of all the relatives, a rich older sister... First few nights I spent in the graveyard where my dad is buried... I struggled Today I have a roof and food and three dogs... 😀I thank Jesus Christ for giving me the strength help
Me too!! 😞 I am Romanian woman living with my husband in a shared house, so happy to have a roof over our head and food, heating and running water! Thank you Lord!

That woman who works for the city was so nasty. Heartless, just imagine how she treats people in need. The crazy thing, homelessness could happen to anyone.
She works for government. Not known for high wages. Just wait until her and her family can no longer keep up with the rising cost of living, stagnant wages and scare quality jobs

My son and I were placed one time around my birthday and while I was out trying to make the best of it trying to look on the sunny side of things ...as soon as I got back the front desk guy apologized to me he didn't want to do it but we had to leave that night on my birthday back to the street they separated us and put me in a aka women's shelter comparable to a penitentiary and they were so happy to have me throw away my birthday cookies from my cousin my son has not been the same and no one cares ....their evil.
@@pjay3586 It may seem a bit trite, but it may be more correct to read it as - "The love of many is A root of all evil." Pride was THE first root of all evil, which then found its way into the heart of mankind, and that first man didn't have money to begin with, but he became loaded with pride.. Pride comes before a fall, and such poverty is a tragic symptom of pride which is a father of greed. It is pride that exalts a man above his fellow man and refuses to bend low to help him when he is unable to pay his rent or whatever. Governments who ignore or refuse to alleviate the suffering of the poor have a lot to answer for. It is a mammoth task but it is fixable, with a good dose of compassion, mercy and tenderness, and political will.
The rich get richer because they work and save money for tomorrow by making a sacrifice today. What would be sad is if useless douchebags got richer and hard working people got poorer.
This Camille lady will have her day... if she is the head of the organization and that is her attitude I do not want to see the attitude of her subordinates.... lord let me never have to hit rock bottom please I beg of you ...
I believe rents are out of control everywhere! They should have a cap on how much a landlord can charge! I was a landlord and always kept my rent affordable, the property in good shape and 99% of the time if you give people respect they will respect you back! Not one person should be homeless in America!
The cost of renting is ridiculas. In Florida too. Raising children alone is extremly hard. It takes 2 + incomes in a household to just get by. In NY 2+ incomes wouldnt be enough unless one had a high paying job. More are becoming homeless because of extreme weather destroying homes and buisnesses. West coast fires and floods , tornadoes, and hurricanes in midwest and east coast.
I agree! can't believe these landlords. You are responsible for the well-being of people who reside in your apartments. How can they evict a family?? who's never missed paying rent?
It’s because Bloomberg was still mayor for a long time after this. He even wanted to run for president. Thankfully he’s a nobody now but he should be in prison with Cuomo.
Homelessness is not the biggest of problems here on this video. The city's response is the biggest problem, and that lady from Department of Homeless services was really mean.
@@youngz13o And pretty soon most of it will belong to China. Who do you think they're going to be selling those horrifically overpriced properties to??

This is a sin to see so many people sleeping out in the streets in the cold weather! It's a disgrace that the richest country in the world can not help them with mental health, their health in general and offer them help to get out of this horrible situation! There are way too many homeless people in the USA!
That Latin woman that was on this video representing the city, when she said lets move on, made me cringe. That kind of pompous attitude is the same attitude rich landlords have when confronted with facts. That pompous state employee would sell her family to be able to continue making her salary. State employees, politicians and landlords are the read problem in this kind of situation. Why doesn't the state just build or buy buildings to house the homeless. It would be cheaper than paying landlords.
I hope that one day her love ones won't face the same problem and tell them 'we're moving on' that mentality is unethical and unemphatic for such a person who representing the city. She must've forgotten that the world are round and that what comes around will one day comes back around. Such a disgrace...no sympathy whatsoever.
Every winter when I run home into my heated apartment...I can’t help but feel the wave of guilt and sheer sadness for the homeless. My heart breaks for them
As a Latina you’d think sis would try to make a change! Camille Rivera is one of the many reasons why this is happening just because they get crumbs from the pie
As someone with Irish and French catholic ancestry I can concur. Camille is nothing but an "Altar Boy" getting taking heat from the priest! She only see's green and has no mean to help others just the like rich guy from earlier and tries to skirt around the question when confronted. Greed is the big problem in the city and it has been spreading into Upstate. Agencies like Access-VR, Office of Mental Health (OMH), Office For the People With Developmental Disabilities(OPWDD), Northeast Career Planning and many others are just in it all for the cash and not the people they are serving. I have been working on plans to start a "shake down" to hold the mofos accountable! They owe it to us!
@I8thumper That's technically what she said. She is stating she doesn't practice what she preaches and is a dishonor to her crest whom all have worked very hard to be able to start and live happy and healthy lives in peace. Means she's betrayed and disgraced her family and her "flock" to benefit only herself. Get it now? She just expressed this in a metaphor. Plays on words are something that I'm good at too but that's because I'm part Lebanese.
Lol the race/ethnic solidarity thing is an illusion. A ms we saw in the vid, she's bought and sold too. She cares about those green flaps. As far as she's concerned, all that brown solidarity stuff is a smoke screen to be used when appropriate.
Have been desiring to come USA but today after watching few videos am happy of my country Kenya and I will live here forever,,am so surprised in another video have seen even an Ubber driver in some states can't afford a house...life in US have seen it's not as I have always thought,.
1st off the city plays a huge role in displacing families. Deblasio and Bloomberg opened the flood gates for these developers to come in and make luxury apartments. There is literally no affordable housing . Gentrification is a huge problem here. There is also a huge number of other factors that play a role.i have been homeless and gone through the shelter system before. It is not easy.
Just Me so true I was homeless with 2 kids in nyc...I moved out of state and God blessed me to be a homeowner...Bloomberg as you stated destroyed the New York City Housing market. After September 11, 2001 nyc went completely downhill. I feel for these people because I was once in their shoes. I’m glad I left my quality of life is so much better and especially for my children.
It's simply the government the people who own now want to cater to the rich who are coming fr every where so I rent my property for 22 000 a month or to the poor people you do the math,its almost like they saying if you are poor get out of new York asap"
I was also homeless when I stayed in NY during '09. Rent was somewhat cheaper back then, but that all changed, because nowadays paying for rent + the first month's deposit is ridiculously insane to a point where you either have to be rich, or working OVERtime / seven days a week and save up every. single. dollar. which you earn, just to find a decent apartment! My heart goes out to those who got help and survived homelesss just like I did. For those who are currently homeless: Please, DON'T give up or let anyone turn you down- be strong and (YES) you WILL make it. Stay blessed 🙏
The family that owns all those building ( cluster shelters ) is ripping the government off plain and simple. At the very least it should be in good working order. The greed is horrible.
And THIS is how the DRUMPF CREW GOT THEIR START. ALL THEY KNOW IS CORRUPTION, GREED AND THEFT. GRANPA DRUMPF THREW IN PROSTITUTION FOR GOOD MEASURE, DONALD HAD DIFFICULTY MANAGING WOMEN SO HE JUST CHEATED ON WIVES AND BECAME A CUSTOMER (STORMY, OTHERS).

So nasty. Everyone is "moving on" until they and their family can no longer afford to keep up with the rising cost of living, stagnant wages and the scarce shortage of quality jobs.
Voltaire also said: "To find out who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize." "We who have posed as the saviors of the world; we who have even boasted of having given it "the" Savior; we are today nothing else but the world's seducers, its destroyers, its incendiaries, its executioners...I look at this world, and I shudder at its ghastliness; I shudder all the more as I know the spiritual authors of all this ghastliness. . ." ~~Oscar Levy, 1920
" If yours does not get spoiled, my own cannot be rosy. " That's the underline principle of capitalism. Although the hardcore capitalist will want us to believe otherwise.
These are people that were born and raised in the city of New York. It’s different for those looking from the outside. I feel the same way about London. As a Londoner (born and raised), I have a different outlook to wanting to live in London (not central lol), than some graduate that’s just moved there or non-London native.
Everyone is "moving on" until they and their families can no longer afford to keep up with the rising cost of living, stagnate wages and scarce quality jobs.

Camille Rivera, Deputy Commissioner of NY's Dept of Homeless Svcs., is a tough woman of color Latinx, raised by a single mom, achieving a lot for working folks, but could watch this video and learn something about being careful not to become a crab in a bucket, scrambling to escape at the expense of those less high in the pile of bodies confined by the system of privileging exclusive access to our commonwealth by mostly elite white hetero males
M Tasch-sandor-simon believe me when I tell you, she’s a puppet... I’ve worked in the NYC WELFARE SYSTEM since 1977, grew up in it and government money, like these programs are meant for the sisters, bro in laws, etc of the ones seated in power..I can guarantee you, the rabbit hole goes deeper. When you lose your house, the lawyer given you, notifies his friends and family and gives ALL the particulars for them to bid, because they (the lawyer) can’t... I can go on and on. It’s disgusting, legal and rotten to the bone. Pray this whole demonic system is going to implode in on us. We are doing it to ourselves.
All it takes is one broken down car, one medical bill, one accident. It’s scary how easy it is for us to fall into debt and become homeless. The gray area really needs to be spoken about more.
Yes, it can happen to most of us. We need to be kinder to those out of luck. It could be us, or our kids in future. Life does not come with insurance..
I worked in mission making 400 sandwiches (bologna) all love that meat..lol anyway its older people drug addicts..I see no kids only 17plus never kids,so whats wrong with new York?
@@yvonnespearing Nothing is wrong, well there is but not what we think. I've said before that the people you served those sandwiches to need more than food. They need information and inspiration. The place you served those sandwiches at could also hand out packets of information about orgs that are willing to help. If we stop handing out money and food and just gave them information they would eventually use that. It's all they would have. Right now I'm involved with the Doe Fund, an organization that helps homeless men on two fronts: homelessness, and lack of skills. You have to pay rent there so they put you to work at 15 dollars an hour and drug treatment is a requirement. They also help a man acquire some skills and certifications along with job placement assistance to help you get and maintain employment and housing. How many more people know of these types of organizations? Let's put it out there and stop with the coddling and begging these no good politicians to do the jobs our taxes pay for them to do and do it ourselves. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime.
@wagner1va you gotta be a bot. But if you're not then know this, homelessness, joblessness, and drug addiction don't care bout what color you are. Racism knows no boundaries and it could happen to you and how would you feel if someone called you filthy or whatever?
@Lisa Marie.....its time to come together....like families buying passports one at a time. Instead of buying toys for the holidays save up to began buying tickets. Its costly but coming together will help a lot. Small businesses can survive like making chocolate, cookies, cakes, grilling meat. We have to pray, for ways and He will provide. Don't give up. It can happen, stay focus to make a dream come true.
They raise because they can. The market pushes the rent to go up. For a landlord, it makes to them to raise the price along the market because it will be filled anyway. Think about it, if you can earn $2,000/month by kicking out some strangers who is paying $1,500/month, are you going to do it? For most people, the answer would be "yes". That's exactly why we cannot let the Market decide everything. That's why the government should step in and provide social welfare for those people with lower income. That's why that "small government" concept is a bullshit made up by those wealthy people. Same thing goes to the health system in the U.S. What a shame.
@Elissia Thelismont Not cool ; South America people says that and I have to remind them of their Spaniard ancestors slaughtering Indians , Aztecs and Mayans . Portuguese didn't land in Brazil in a peaceful manners either .
I said the same thing, the lady who was homeless at 16 and struggled with financial stability... why did she have two children before getting stable? It’s very hurtful to see her next of kin go through such a struggle.
It is about the money. Real estate in New York costs so much because the housing supply can't possibly keep up with the population. This makes it very expensive. There are cities that have artificial housing problems like San Francisco where people protest and try to stop apartments from being built but also complain about the cost of living. If you don't have the money to live at the epicenter of the world economy, then you should probably find somewhere else to live. I don't live there because it's way too expensive.

@@brandiegray1854 Of course, they will. Everything they are doing due to their greed and heartlessness they are doing to themselves and their future generations.
I REALLY feel for these folks. I was homeless for a while. However, it was a very good experience for me. I was a college student, at the time (dorms had been closed for the year). I was 21 at the time. I couldn't IMAGINE being homeless now, with a wife and 4 kids. I wish I could help more. We've let homeless stay with us. However, there's inevitably complications.
You are not alone. I was nodding through 90% of this documentary. I am constantly about to be thrown out of my apartment in Colorado due to rent increases. HEY HEY!! HO HO!! CAPITALISM HAS GOT TO GO!!!!!!!!!
Well, she was deputising. She was the person in charge of Homelessness Services while her boss was not present for whatever the reason. Sher is not just a normal civil servant.
Exactly the same here in London UK and in other UK cities .... Affordable housing is a thing of the past, many many many blocks of flats are being built but none affordable for lower income workers or the homeless, all being sold to foreign investors, the uber rich/rich ... the rich Chinese and Hong Kong rich property investors + rich investors from other countries, are very interested in these investments ... Social Cleansing is big money here in London if your rich whereby if your poor you don't even get a look in .... 6 London councils have sold off their very big council estates to developers after emptying these estates of tenants. People who bought their flat/house on such estates are only offered below the market value for their property, they're not allowed to stay on and live in their once previous home. The government/councils call it "regeneration" of dilapidated estates but it's been the councils who have deliberately allowed the estates to get run down, the developer then gets an estate at a knockdown price only to tart it up and sell on to rich property developers who then sell on to foreign investors who invariably leave these flats/homes purposely empty ...... SOCIAL CLEANSING ........
This documentary is all too real to me.When I taught at a middle school in East Harlem our student demographic were mostly homeless which was shocking.But now it makes sense.I pray to God for these people that they are able to find stable housing in good conditions.
I"m a Democrat and can"t stand Democrats like her in our party.They are the very reason why we are being misrepresented.She needs to at least comb her hair.Not professional about her at all.I saw 'RED' looking at her.
Yes...low-class to act that way with a reporter asking question. The “moving on lady” just showed us all that she was caught in her lies by her reaction.
Wow. This hits harder when you're actually homeless during Corona. Even though i do work and have an education, tragedy can happen at anytime. Pray for me. Its scary in Memphis and sleeping out of my car as a student doesnt make it better. I pray for anyone going thru this situation. Its always someone worse off. At least i have a vehicle to sleep in.
Bernie 2020, democracy can work if all of the public gets involved, then the real majority can make decisions for what is best for all not just for some.
All these empty buildings all over America could be turned into housing. More rent that stays stable so people are not evicted. Programs that keep the rents stable so that people will not be homeless. More rooming houses. Mental health services and housing for veterans. There are solutions. Families help your family and friends. Save and try to buy a home with a group of family or friends.
@@teresawicks-kq3bq I don't care what Jesus said 2000 years ago. Why didn't he end homelessness?

And they're unemployed or underemployed? Where's the personal accountability with some of them? It seems many are just waiting for the government (AKA us taxpayers) to build them housing and subsidize their lifestyles.

It's far more complicated than that. In Australia/UK you can get a subsidized house for your entire life, there is a waiting list and you must qualify. The waiting list in some cities like Adelaide has become 20 years. Not for the lack of housing but because subsidised housing has made poverty very attractive and success foolish. If I say to everyone this minute if you qualify (are homeless) you get a house I'm sure many people will make sure they qualify. What's needed is in fact the opposite, divert money from housing and the poor to the wealthy in the form of grants and tax breaks for venture capital investments, this will create jobs and economic growth which will then flow down. Might sound cruel and not compassionate by the richest 1% feed 100%.

The root to all evil isn’t necessarily money.. it’s human greed
DreamWeaver the saying is “the LOVE of money is the root of all evil” which means greed , you’re right
@@pjay3586
It may seem a bit trite, but it may be more correct to read it as - "The love of many is A root of all evil."
Pride was THE first root of all evil, which then found its way into the heart of mankind, and that first man didn't have money to begin with, but he became loaded with pride..
Pride comes before a fall, and such poverty is a tragic symptom of pride which is a father of greed.
It is pride that exalts a man above his fellow man and refuses to bend low to help him when he is unable to pay his rent or whatever.
Governments who ignore or refuse to alleviate the suffering of the poor have a lot to answer for. It is a mammoth task but it is fixable, with a good dose of compassion, mercy and tenderness, and political will.

The rich get richer because they work and save money for tomorrow by making a sacrifice today. What would be sad is if useless douchebags got richer and hard working people got poorer.
Want free rent go to jail

This Camille lady will have her day... if she is the head of the organization and that is her attitude I do not want to see the attitude of her subordinates.... lord let me never have to hit rock bottom please I beg of you ...
Frfr💯... Where's Camille 👀
WoW that Camille Lady for real! Her own kind are suffering the most!!
Please, we need a follow up on this!!!
I believe rents are out of control everywhere! They should have a cap on how much a landlord can charge! I was a landlord and always kept my rent affordable, the property in good shape and 99% of the time if you give people respect they will respect you back! Not one person should be homeless in America!
The cost of renting is ridiculas. In Florida too. Raising children alone is extremly hard. It takes 2 + incomes in a household to just get by. In NY 2+ incomes wouldnt be enough unless one had a high paying job.
More are becoming homeless because of extreme weather destroying homes and buisnesses. West coast fires and floods , tornadoes, and hurricanes in midwest and east coast.
I agree! can't believe these landlords. You are responsible for the well-being of people who reside in your apartments. How can they evict a family?? who's never missed paying rent?
5 years later and the homeless crisis seems more visible than ever here, can't ignore it..
It’s because Bloomberg was still mayor for a long time after this. He even wanted to run for president. Thankfully he’s a nobody now but he should be in prison with Cuomo.
Hi, quote " I do not judge people, because you never know the situation they are in ! " That is the best attitude. Greetings Conny
Homelessness is not the biggest of problems here on this video. The city's response is the biggest problem, and that lady from Department of Homeless services was really mean.

This is a sin to see so many people sleeping out in the streets in the cold weather! It's a disgrace that the richest country in the world can not help them with mental health, their health in general and offer them help to get out of this horrible situation! There are way too many homeless people in the USA!
I agree 100% with you especially parents who have their little kids and babies
Yes. Especially as a Christian majority nation. The homeless need help. Though some of them do not want help surprisingly
The world is a frightening place to be. My God. The stuff that people go through just to survive.
Listen to their stories
So true Desta, that's why people need God to help them to survive and give their lives meaning.
You are absolutely correct it is...I wish it was easier...
People are trapped! How can society be so unjustly structured? Disaster and hopelessness inevitably lead to more crime!
These are the horrors of capitalism.
That Latin woman that was on this video representing the city, when she said lets move on, made me cringe. That kind of pompous attitude is the same attitude rich landlords have when confronted with facts. That pompous state employee would sell her family to be able to continue making her salary. State employees, politicians and landlords are the read problem in this kind of situation. Why doesn't the state just build or buy buildings to house the homeless. It would be cheaper than paying landlords.
I hope that one day her love ones won't face the same problem and tell them 'we're moving on' that mentality is unethical and unemphatic for such a person who representing the city. She must've forgotten that the world are round and that what comes around will one day comes back around. Such a disgrace...no sympathy whatsoever.
And they could turn all these dying shopping malls into apartments.
@Hyurtes J Nuyorican White. The worst
Every winter when I run home into my heated apartment...I can’t help but feel the wave of guilt and sheer sadness for the homeless. My heart breaks for them
Anna Sanna me too
Lucky be greatly for what you have
I feel the same. Also in the summertime, when the heat is scorching
You're a wonderful soul. Do what you can along the way, even if it means for them to get by one meal. Thanks.

As a Latina you’d think sis would try to make a change! Camille Rivera is one of the many reasons why this is happening just because they get crumbs from the pie
There's nothing but a bunch of Camille Reveras in Bronx NY alone in positions. It's a horrible shame
@I8thumper how is this woman an idiot? Camille forgot she is nothing but trash to the Man doing their dirty work.
As someone with Irish and French catholic ancestry I can concur. Camille is nothing but an "Altar Boy" getting taking heat from the priest! She only see's green and has no mean to help others just the like rich guy from earlier and tries to skirt around the question when confronted. Greed is the big problem in the city and it has been spreading into Upstate. Agencies like Access-VR, Office of Mental Health (OMH), Office For the People With Developmental Disabilities(OPWDD), Northeast Career Planning and many others are just in it all for the cash and not the people they are serving. I have been working on plans to start a "shake down" to hold the mofos accountable! They owe it to us!
@I8thumper That's technically what she said. She is stating she doesn't practice what she preaches and is a dishonor to her crest whom all have worked very hard to be able to start and live happy and healthy lives in peace. Means she's betrayed and disgraced her family and her "flock" to benefit only herself. Get it now? She just expressed this in a metaphor. Plays on words are something that I'm good at too but that's because I'm part Lebanese.
Lol the race/ethnic solidarity thing is an illusion. A ms we saw in the vid, she's bought and sold too. She cares about those green flaps. As far as she's concerned, all that brown solidarity stuff is a smoke screen to be used when appropriate.
The world needs more empathy.
nah they spend their money on jordans
There, but for the grace of God, go I.
No it needs common sense.
They don't care bc this is what they want to happen. The results of greed.
It's not the poor that's causing all the despair....... It's the rich and powerful!
Have been desiring to come USA but today after watching few videos am happy of my country Kenya and I will live here forever,,am so surprised in another video have seen even an Ubber driver in some states can't afford a house...life in US have seen it's not as I have always thought,.
Totally. There is a great channel called "invisible people" check it out
1st off the city plays a huge role in displacing families. Deblasio and Bloomberg opened the flood gates for these developers to come in and make luxury apartments. There is literally no affordable housing . Gentrification is a huge problem here. There is also a huge number of other factors that play a role.i have been homeless and gone through the shelter system before. It is not easy.
I agree been there but im doing great hope the best for U !
Just Me so true I was homeless with 2 kids in nyc...I moved out of state and God blessed me to be a homeowner...Bloomberg as you stated destroyed the New York City Housing market. After September 11, 2001 nyc went completely downhill. I feel for these people because I was once in their shoes. I’m glad I left my quality of life is so much better and especially for my children.
It's simply the government the people who own now want to cater to the rich who are coming fr every where so I rent my property for 22 000 a month or to the poor people you do the math,its almost like they saying if you are poor get out of new York asap"
Just Me God bless you dear one.. Sorry for this evil Government Whore's Agenda
I agree 🙏
That three year old, is amazing! The way she speaks, tells so much about her upbringing.
Being homeless is very sad but why a mother 24yrs have three kids homeless for many years but has a young baby
I love Jasiahs father!! it may be hard right now, but his baby is with him through it all and they will survive
Oh no, but these clowns in the comments section keep asking where the fathers are???!
I was also homeless when I stayed in NY during '09. Rent was somewhat cheaper back then, but that all changed, because nowadays paying for rent + the first month's deposit is ridiculously insane to a point where you either have to be rich, or working OVERtime / seven days a week and save up every. single. dollar. which you earn, just to find a decent apartment! My heart goes out to those who got help and survived homelesss just like I did. For those who are currently homeless: Please, DON'T give up or let anyone turn you down- be strong and (YES) you WILL make it. Stay blessed 🙏
The family that owns all those building ( cluster shelters ) is ripping the government off plain and simple.
At the very least it should be in good working order. The greed is horrible.

Camille River "Moving on"...really, really?" This lets you know they're lying. They're not trying to help.
That woman was rude.
She needs that attitude back-slapped out of her.
That was surprising coming from a public servant. So its nobody's business how tax money is spent?
They don't help. I'm personally going through this currently.
So nasty. Everyone is "moving on" until they and their family can no longer afford to keep up with the rising cost of living, stagnant wages and the scarce shortage of quality jobs.

Camille Rivera, Deputy Commissioner of NY's Dept of Homeless Svcs., is a tough woman of color Latinx, raised by a single mom, achieving a lot for working folks, but could watch this video and learn something about being careful not to become a crab in a bucket, scrambling to escape at the expense of those less high in the pile of bodies confined by the system of privileging exclusive access to our commonwealth by mostly elite white hetero males
Where was this? What part of the video.
M Tasch-sandor-simon believe me when I tell you, she’s a puppet... I’ve worked in the NYC WELFARE SYSTEM since 1977, grew up in it and government money, like these programs are meant for the sisters, bro in laws, etc of the ones seated in power..I can guarantee you, the rabbit hole goes deeper. When you lose your house, the lawyer given you, notifies his friends and family and gives ALL the particulars for them to bid, because they (the lawyer) can’t... I can go on and on. It’s disgusting, legal and rotten to the bone. Pray this whole demonic system is going to implode in on us. We are doing it to ourselves.
M Tasch-sandor-simon I second that she just heartless soul
she only cares about her job, politicians are two faced
All it takes is one broken down car, one medical bill, one accident. It’s scary how easy it is for us to fall into debt and become homeless. The gray area really needs to be spoken about more.
Yes, it can happen to most of us. We need to be kinder to those out of luck. It could be us, or our kids in future. Life does not come with insurance..
I hope Camille and like-minded others have a taste of homelessness since they don't care about the people trying to better their living situations.
She had a nasty attitude
One of my greatest fears in my life has always been that I would become homeless. Fortunately for me I've never faced this predicament.
That’s great for you. Trust me it’s not something you ever want to experience. I’m still traumatised.
Lucky you. That was the first time I wanted to die. It's sooooo horrible
It's everyone's fear.
Temporary homelessness ain't bad if you are working to get out. It's mind over matter. It's where you are going not where you are at
Can you be happy when you know how many co-citizens can't make ends meet?
This was disgusting to watch. In 2019 it’s 1000 times worst!
This is happening in Charlotte. My rent is going from 675$ to almost 1000.
Why are there more homeless? answer. The rich want to get richer. Landlords don't give a darn..that's why?
I worked in mission making 400 sandwiches (bologna) all love that meat..lol anyway its older people drug addicts..I see no kids only 17plus never kids,so whats wrong with new York?
@@yvonnespearing Nothing is wrong, well there is but not what we think. I've said before that the people you served those sandwiches to need more than food. They need information and inspiration. The place you served those sandwiches at could also hand out packets of information about orgs that are willing to help. If we stop handing out money and food and just gave them information they would eventually use that. It's all they would have. Right now I'm involved with the Doe Fund, an organization that helps homeless men on two fronts: homelessness, and lack of skills. You have to pay rent there so they put you to work at 15 dollars an hour and drug treatment is a requirement. They also help a man acquire some skills and certifications along with job placement assistance to help you get and maintain employment and housing. How many more people know of these types of organizations? Let's put it out there and stop with the coddling and begging these no good politicians to do the jobs our taxes pay for them to do and do it ourselves. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime.
@wagner1va you gotta be a bot. But if you're not then know this, homelessness, joblessness, and drug addiction don't care bout what color you are. Racism knows no boundaries and it could happen to you and how would you feel if someone called you filthy or whatever?
"How much money can we (the rich) make from the homeless?" .... My God, what an eye opener. A sad NYC ... it used to be an amazing city.
There's no way this isn't a racket.
Right.
Just Me Until the chain is broken, welfare must not only properly continue, we must advocate.
Thank you
Aint no way! It MUST be a landlords association or somn! Who insures these landlords. They gotta be in cahoots all across the country!
Interesting point. I have found there is a cottage industry that feeds on the homeless-organizations, businesses, maybe even slumlords.
You're not just having to leave the city, eventually you'll have to leave the country.
@Lisa Marie PURGE the trolls...
I can't wait. They are trigger happy.
@Lisa Marie.....its time to come together....like families buying passports one at a time. Instead of buying toys for the holidays save up to began buying tickets.

It can happen, stay focus to make a dream come true.
@@harvest-min1825 Excellent idea. Well said.

Dear Lady who works for the city; I hope you never become Homeless.
Why increase the rent, the buildings are already paid for numerous times over.
Mike David Good question.
They are intentionally trying to move a specific class of ppl out due to gentrification and greed
Landlord raise rent because they have to pay property taxes in order to do so tenant rent go up
Greedy
They raise because they can. The market pushes the rent to go up. For a landlord, it makes to them to raise the price along the market because it will be filled anyway. Think about it, if you can earn $2,000/month by kicking out some strangers who is paying $1,500/month, are you going to do it? For most people, the answer would be "yes". That's exactly why we cannot let the Market decide everything. That's why the government should step in and provide social welfare for those people with lower income. That's why that "small government" concept is a bullshit made up by those wealthy people. Same thing goes to the health system in the U.S. What a shame.
So glad I left NY 40 years ago....couldn't afford it there. Less than 500/month buys me a 2 bedroom 2 bath double wide manufactured home in AZ
Yup and less high paying jobs.
I left Brooklyn Fort Green 5 years ago and live in AZ to, wasn't loving it at first but now I thank God I left NYC (I do miss it sometimes)

I don't mean to sound nasty, But I will never understand people who keep having kids when they can't take care of them.
I said the same thing, the lady who was homeless at 16 and struggled with financial stability... why did she have two children before getting stable? It’s very hurtful to see her next of kin go through such a struggle.
You sound nasty....
Are you guys watching this on mute, or just lack comprehension
. It’s not about the money. They designed the system’s for people’s to leave the city .
Rick bronxbull Cavite Philippines . exactly.
Yep.
Indeed
It is about the money. Real estate in New York costs so much because the housing supply can't possibly keep up with the population. This makes it very expensive. There are cities that have artificial housing problems like San Francisco where people protest and try to stop apartments from being built but also complain about the cost of living. If you don't have the money to live at the epicenter of the world economy, then you should probably find somewhere else to live. I don't live there because it's way too expensive.
@@HavanaSyndrome69 Don't think money is the only reason. This isn't anything new, unfortunately, in NYC or other cities.

I hope she finds herself in the same position as the people she helps to abuse. She knows the truth, she's paid to lie. I hope she suffers for it.
25 yrs old and has 3 kids!
What an unpalatable bitty. “We’re moving on.” Aren’t you a public employee?
She's a heartless woman, needs to have a bit of karma
I REALLY feel for these folks. I was homeless for a while. However, it was a very good experience for me. I was a college student, at the time (dorms had been closed for the year). I was 21 at the time. I couldn't IMAGINE being homeless now, with a wife and 4 kids. I wish I could help more. We've let homeless stay with us. However, there's inevitably complications.
I am so afraid of becoming homeless in this city. It feels like that could be your reality on any given day...
Just hang on. God has got you.
Best decision is to leave!
You are not alone. I was nodding through 90% of this documentary. I am constantly about to be thrown out of my apartment in Colorado due to rent increases.
HEY HEY!! HO HO!! CAPITALISM HAS GOT TO GO!!!!!!!!!
If Camille ends up homeless, she better move on.
That rude case worker/ Oh, hekk Yeahhh!
She better call Tyrone... but she cant use my phone...

And Affordable housing is a joke! On NYC connect you must make 75k a year to qualify for alot of these new building lotteries...
beauty4u132 NYC is an overpriced cess pool.
And I though the new vouchers in DC were outrageous! Down here you have to make 65k for an individual just to apply for a housing voucher.
Yes!! How is that affordable housing!!!!!
It was designed not for you but against you. God help us
Danaé Lauren Tolbert if you have a good job
Exactly the same here in London UK and in other UK cities .... Affordable housing is a thing of the past, many many many blocks of flats are being built but none affordable for lower income workers or the homeless, all being sold to foreign investors, the uber rich/rich ... the rich Chinese and Hong Kong rich property investors + rich investors from other countries, are very interested in these investments ... Social Cleansing is big money here in London if your rich whereby if your poor you don't even get a look in .... 6 London councils have sold off their very big council estates to developers after emptying these estates of tenants. People who bought their flat/house on such estates are only offered below the market value for their property, they're not allowed to stay on and live in their once previous home. The government/councils call it "regeneration" of dilapidated estates but it's been the councils who have deliberately allowed the estates to get run down, the developer then gets an estate at a knockdown price only to tart it up and sell on to rich property developers who then sell on to foreign investors who invariably leave these flats/homes purposely empty ...... SOCIAL CLEANSING ........
This documentary is all too real to me.When I taught at a middle school in East Harlem our student demographic were mostly homeless which was shocking.But now it makes sense.I pray to God for these people that they are able to find stable housing in good conditions.
"We're moving on. WERE MOVING ON."...Um, why agree to the interview if you don't want to answer questions??? She was so rude.
The old case of "Can't handle The Truth"
I"m a Democrat and can"t stand Democrats like her in our party.They are the very reason why we are being misrepresented.She needs to at least comb her hair.Not professional about her at all.I saw 'RED' looking at her.

Wow. This hits harder when you're actually homeless during Corona. Even though i do work and have an education, tragedy can happen at anytime. Pray for me. Its scary in Memphis and sleeping out of my car as a student doesnt make it better. I pray for anyone going thru this situation. Its always someone worse off. At least i have a vehicle to sleep in.
I will pray for you. I hope things get better.

teresa wicks I nominate you mayor..
All these empty buildings all over America could be turned into housing. More rent that stays stable so people are not evicted. Programs that keep the rents stable so that people will not be homeless. More rooming houses. Mental health services and housing for veterans. There are solutions. Families help your family and friends. Save and try to buy a home with a group of family or friends.
Why should these poor people get free or subsidized housing (subsidized by the rest of us) while the rest of us have to pay market value?
@@kevin15776 Jesus said the poor will always be with us!! And you and I are expected to help the poor. Be grateful it's not you and just do ur part!!
@@teresawicks-kq3bq I don't care what Jesus said 2000 years ago. Why didn't he end homelessness? I pay enough in taxes and oftentimes (but not always), people are their own worst enemy and put themselves in these situations. That one woman has 4 kids?? Another has 3?? And they're unemployed or underemployed? Where's the personal accountability with some of them? It seems many are just waiting for the government (AKA us taxpayers) to build them housing and subsidize their lifestyles.
That's why America cannot take care of others,. America needs to take care of Americans first.
however, we don't plan on doing that. That's just what rich people tell you do that you will put them in leadership so that they can suck up all the money.
EXACTLY!

You are the reason why we don't have the money to support people who are struggling in our country it's as if you think we should just keep putting out fake money forever
@jas dhanjal
Oh my gosh! I'm not even black, I'm Jewish. But even I'll say it's a disgrace to see such a racist, ignorant comment in 2019!
She/He *IS* an American! Her/His ancestors had no choice! After the Emancipation Declaration, Blacks still had to serve in the AMERICAN army. But why? They're not American!
Curse you and the other ninny that liked your disgusting comment!
@@pocoalpaso
My friend, I don't know if you know this but our country is currently TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DEBT! We cannot afford to help every single country on our planet!! Our "Prosperity" is a lie. All our money has been either counterfeited or spent on ridiculous unnecessary wars and the military (which btw is already one of the most advanced in the world)
The People come first.
Once she said were moving that said everything to me and she lost all credibility.
WE NEED MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING!
It's far more complicated than that. In Australia/UK you can get a subsidized house for your entire life, there is a waiting list and you must qualify. The waiting list in some cities like Adelaide has become 20 years. Not for the lack of housing but because subsidised housing has made poverty very attractive and success foolish. If I say to everyone this minute if you qualify (are homeless) you get a house I'm sure many people will make sure they qualify. What's needed is in fact the opposite, divert money from housing and the poor to the wealthy in the form of grants and tax breaks for venture capital investments, this will create jobs and economic growth which will then flow down. Might sound cruel and not compassionate by the richest 1% feed 100%.
There's way.. and a plan..
If more people would pick up the phone and call immigration it make better rent would go down and property taxes would stop going up
Acreage Funeral that will only do so much
Welcome to America: where the rich get richer and the poor are ignored.
and the poor all too often screw up. Drop out of school. Smoke, drug, drink, gamble. Get STDs. Have kids with no husband. Have too many kids.
@@taraterm3 are you saying that all of those issues you listed are exclusive only to the poor???🤨
@@taraterm3 I have seen more decent,honest, hardworking poor than those you described. Neoliberalism will widen the gap between the rich and poor. And it advocates a market that can destroy everything a family worked for all their life. Look at the sub prime crisis and you have to agree.
@@taraterm3 - what about the working poor? Those who dont have alot of kids? Rents and affordable housing is disappearing. And many people graduate college and still find it hard to keep up. Dont be so judgmental. I know doctors on drugs. As are alot of so called professionals. Some married couples are doing the same. . Come out of your bubble. Regardless, these are people not objects.
@@taraterm3 They screw up because they lack the resources and education to get out of such cycle. When you grow up all your life knowing nothing but poverty then you'll end up like that throughout your life. Most don't even know what a mortgage is.
This is why you dont Judge people who are Homeless because you don't know what they have been through and understand how good you have it. I myself try and Help as much as a i can. I know what being homeless feels like and living in Motels. Not fun. Always help not Judge. Goodluck to all The Homeless in the world. Nobody deserves to live like that
I agree....please help
Homeless at 16 and she goes on having 3 kids????
lominefe I said the same thing. That is a big problem.
She was looking for love, ended up with 3 kids alone 😥
Yeah, that's what I thought.
and she doesn't want the same for them, which is understandable, but where is the logic in this??
It’s ridiculous to attack citizens.
I can't imagine having a baby this is outrageous these people work they should have a home this is outrageous!!!
I left NYC in ‘03. Moved south. Was considering moving back until I saw this. My worst nightmare is winding up homeless in NYC in the winter.
$2700? WOW!!! You can literally start over anywhere in the south with that
Black Queen where in the south? I need to know!!
@@angelac9181 NC (Definently look into Asheboro/Greensboro area) Southwest Georgia, probably anywhere in SC & Mississippi, Gasden, Al area (it's beautiful btw). My top pick would be Asheboro, NC. You can look into the prices on Greensboro Craigslist.
@Zenon Antruzinon I agree! but if they're having trouble paying this, I doubt they have it to save right now
Black Queen thanks!!!
@@angelac9181 you're more than welcome 😊
I feel really sorry for the mom with 3 kids, things will get better soon. I hope she is in a better place now
Well I’ve been there I went through it 25 years ago then I came back to New York and had to go through it again he’s exactly right if you don’t get approved you have to start all over again this is why I gave up and moved to Florida and I am blessed to be living comfortably you can never win my opinion🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Home ownership is essential in life. My life improved immeasurably when I bought my modest studio. Getting married is probably essential too as household income is doubled.
Be thankful every day you had place to live. That why if you bless don’t be Ungrateful too some people. Praying for them.
My hood. Shot out to NYC. God bless you all
I was homeless before. Thank God for blessing me with a home
I was homeless because of gentrification. I stayed with a friend and I finally got into low income housing. Im so grateful to God to have a home. I wish you the best.
I was in the homeless system through PATH. Thank God my children’s father stayed with me through it all... it is extremely frustrating to go through this... I’ve experienced this first hand.. now we are in NEW JERSEY, with a two bedroom for $1400 and I’m extremely grateful for going through what I went through
Still $1400 per month is a lot. That's money you could be investing for something else
@@greer8288really? If you think that's expensive wherever you live you're lucky!
9 dollars woman gets paid in NYC. Absolute disgrace
$9 an hour is a homeless salary anywhere in the US, especially in New York. How sad the US has come to this.
@Badaboom 88 in the USA anything under $2k per month is working poor. it's not like Europe, hence why they are always hustling. It's never enough. Not like in Europe where $1500 can give you a living
@Badaboom 88 If rent is $2,500 for a studio apartment and you only make $1,440 before taxes, how exactly can you have a place to live?
The minimum wage for a under 18 year old worker in denmark is around 10 dollars your country is so messed up
I live in New York City and the minimum wage is $15. She might be talking about when she was employed. Unless it’s off the books. I could be wrong though
I love this city,one of the best place on Earth but time are changing the rent is too high and the food is too expensive, something must be done because there a crisis looming the melting pot is almost melted, people are working hard but can't afford the rent because it's totally out of control...
yes. and taxes are high af but where is the tax $ really going ? hmmmmm
fabio sunspot I moved to a small city in NC n its a lot better here, it’s been affordable, people r nice, it’s worked out for me. I was homeless n starving on the streets b4 I moved here. Ain’t much around but it’s a comfortable living
It's gonna be a place only for the rich soon. They're driving everyone out.
I’ve been in Path a.k.a EAU multiple times I know the pain and the struggles of being homeless... I Thank God for blessing me&my family🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Shame on America in 2019 should've been solved.
LOL@"solved". I think you misunderstand amerikkka from it's beginning.
@Craig Schultz You mean like Lincoln (the republican) "promised" 40 acres and a mule?? That's a laughable fantasy world that you're living in.
.. it’s always a FIGHT that gets the
RIGHT !
@Craig Schultz
They already did it with Black people.
CANADA IS SAME BOAT
My heart is hurting for human kind!
Tears are filling in my eyes looking at this. We need God's Kingdom right now!
"They say this is a big rich town and I just come from the poorest part."
It is seriously troubling that the deputy from the Department of Homeless Services refused to discussed the "formula" regarding where all that money was going
I have stayed in the shelter system in Canada when i was homeless on 3 occasions , it gives a perspective on what is like to have your own place to live and you are grateful to have your own place to live
I will do more to help people, God-Willing 🤲 We all can do more to help others in need
Awaken The Greatness Within Ditto 😩
Poverty is profitable, isn't it?
I'm so blessed to have my own home..Thank you 😊.. Lord Jesus 🙏 💖
