Single women will have to form there own communities and pool there resources together for a quality life for there children during these times. Rent a home together. Barter in exchange for baby Sitting. Grocery shop together.
when you are poor, it's hard to save up for a long move as well as a safety deposit + x number of months rent. many of these people can't save any money at all and are behind on bills. it's expensive to be poor in many ways. plus, they might not want to leave their extended family, especially if the family is helping out (child care, etc)
With the economy as it is, Americans need to go back to healthy forms of communal living. Single parents especially, can organize together to help each other with housing, child care, cleaning, cooking, etc. That's what communities can do for one another. Unfortunately, most people don't even know their neighbors anymore and many families are far away from one another.
No, in the 80 and 90s people could work and afford a home and other stuff. It’s out of control. Gas should be below 2. Housing should be 400 a month for a one bedroom. It’s time to stop letting corporations buying up all the homes. The government can stop this tragedy.
My parents are in this situation. They mentally cannot make up their mind as the choices are limited. They are driving between three states trying to find a place to live. Once they find a place it's gone. I know the landlords look as them and see a mess.
I feel for everyone who is struggling in Florida, please think about relocating temporarily to avoid being homeless. I'm relocating to SC because Charlotte NC has become unaffordable.
How about people stop moving to FL and outbid the floridians on houses and apartments so that floridians won't be thrown out of their own state, fellow americans...???

So let's talk about this America has Billions to send to Ukraine in weapons and military equipment but The US doesn't have any money to End Homelessness?🤔 Can anyone please tell me why
If i ever have a home, I won't sell it at market price, I will give it away to a deserving family. If more people did this we would have a huge portion of homes available on the market. People need to know that when buying something is comes at a lost. You dont sell a used car for the same price you got it, so a house shouldnt be the same.
God will humble you or life will humble you. I left Atlanta for Los Angeles. While homeless, I lived in my car. As long as I can shower daily (mission), drive/work (Beverly Hills), my damn bank account looks good. P.S. I’m single, but for families, I wouldn’t recommend!
Blame it on these millionaire with their big boats houses and don't give a dam about the people that needs help this is why houses in California burning down because of their greedy thank 🙏 God
They give the bums and prison people places to live. The working people live in cars. That is how it is in Gainesville Florida. So glad moved to denver my pay went from 10 to 21 an hour. Florida is a cesspool for working people.
No one is good. Americans have too much pride. Stop acting like you're not supposed to go through nothing in life. Everybody has trials and tribulation. My rent is going up next month but God is taking care of me and I'm grateful.
It is frighteningly easy to become homeless when rent is raised beyond one's means or raised but can pay it knowing when it's time to renew with a rent increase, their money spent on rent thus unable to save to move under another roof.

Heartbreaking. I hope someone can help them with a 3 months rent and food to be able to rent something.

It is hard when you dont have a car to find another work, when you have no family in the state/country and when you have children because they will also need change their school...

P *1 of 4* Cities can eliminate homeless tent cities by replacing them with *Homeless Shelter Villages* [HSV] using _Pallet Shelter's_ existing *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV] components. The _Community Room_ sells for $37,000 and serves as a shared laundry room, restaurant, *child daycare center,* and addiction services center. The _Bathroom_ cost $35,000 and the _Services Office_ costs $9,000. So for only $81,000 a city can establish a *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV]. The 10'X10' *Camping Cube Sport Pop Up Tent* costs only $120 provides protection from the elements; for two people and their belongings.
P *4 of 4* The homeless can simply move the tents they are using now into the homeless-village and the RVs are assigned a parking space. *Or the **_Shelter 100,_** provided by FEMA,* is a $9,500 shelter that is climate controlled, built in one hour, is 100 sq. ft., and uses a folding bunk system to house up to four beds. *_Pallet Shelter's_* private sleeping cabins offer *security* and durability. Which addresses the concerns of the homeless who reject the restrictions of “bed-only” homeless-shelters; for only one night.
I worked for the USA Government as a Contractor for 21 years, I am a Female. Long ago I was the ONLY Female Contractor in my State. I have a Girlfriend I grew up with well, Her Mother also a Government Worker, has worked for the New York Housing Authority & Los Angeles Housing Authority for a total of 30 yrs. She was in a high position and now has retired. I have called several Women's Shelters to tell them how the immediate Application process to immediately get Women like this one in to affordable Housing works. She doesn't have to make 2 and 1\2 times the rent. They accept all Veterans, everyone doesn't know how to get these beautiful Apts.. NO ONE HAS EVER CALLED ME BACK. So they don't want help its available.
*Paragraph 4 of 4.* 89 million Americans is 27% of the *working* population! Or a $50,000 a year stipend for 40 million American families of 4 making less than $15 an hour; *so that they are NOT made permanently homeless.* Amen.
The hate of the neighbor has grown tremendously here in America. People have become slaves to the spoils, to those with authority and power. I became homeless after the amputation of my feet and I was faced with nothing more but judgement, then I seen the lost and the just cast out. I came to know the truth about compassion, mercy and kindness. I spoke and prayed to God, pleading that I don’t become like these heartless people. I separated myself from those buildings who call themselves a church, I seen how they used the poor and needy for their evil gains. I was in delray Beach, and Boca Raton Florida. I witnessed many things from 2004 to 2008. I seen the poor and needy cry, pleaded and beg for mercy. Well I now have truth for you. GOD the almighty has heard your cries, I have seen GOD remove many of them from off the face of this earth. Those so called man of God can’t even get a drink of water, and they are silent in their grave. No one hears their plead not even God. God is the giver of the earth, the giver of all things. This is the truth, the grave will be the end for many God gives life and He can take it. In 2020 and 2022 we have seen the almighty God remove and shut things up. All this unjust judgement, hate to the neighbor is going to be judged by the creator the righteous God who is a righteous judge. Look what Jesus Christ said, He came for the poor, the needy those who have been cast out. Look they killed Jesus Christ do you not know they will kill you. Don’t go to them for a drink of water or you will become their slave
D With subsidized for the homeless electric-cargo-bikes at all bus stops from companies like: _Wheels, Lime, Link, and Veo_ in the city and at the homeless encampment; so the working homeless can get to work. *Which are large 1,000 people disaster relief centers.* With trucked in water. Shared laundry, toilet, cooking, and shower-facilities. With restaurants, post office, and stores; just like a large campground. PAR
P *2 of 4* Cities are spending millions of dollars to open and run homeless bed shelters; that the homeless reject due to the many restrictions and lack of security. _Pallet Shelter's_ two person _Shelter 64_ cost only $7,000 and provides a dignified, secure sleeping base of operation. So for only $201,000 [$120 tents] a city can establish and run a *Homeless Shelter Village* with 1000 shelters that can accommodate 2,000 people: 2 beds and belongings per 10'X10' tent.
P B of Parts A-F The B!den administration has proposed *Christian, compassionate,* homeless solutions *but Republicans* do not want the FEMA homeless encampments within their cities; which *have the highest number of homeless families.* The solution is FEMA coordinated homeless communities a 30 minute bus ride, 24/7, every 20 minutes, from the FEMA established homeless shelters; to the city. *Established on land made vacant due to global-warming extreme weather events; that no one should rebuild on.*
C The FEMA homeless-communities / encampments are _close enough to the city to work;_ *and far enough away from the town to be out of sight and mind.* Established on land now vacant due to the extreme weather events which is creating the housing shortage. Due to the catastrophic-runaway-anthropogenic-global-warming *[CRAGW] that Republiguns deny exists.*
E of Parts A-F In the on-site factories the homeless population's workforce is used to make more homeless shelters from plastic-waste taken from the oceans and government subsidized Styrofoam; and electric car conversion kits which cost only $3,600 because _The Defense Production Act_ was invoked. _Which does not include the cost of batteries and installation._ PAR
*Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.* Deny instincts to be cruel. *Think before you speak and choose to be kind.* _Choose to be charitable._ *Know that there is a Holy Trinity. So be brave. Have faith. Be humble.* Find the courage to grasp a *real-man's* first obligation; *to protect his family and our Mother the Earth. From being injured and killed* _due to the bottomless greed of Satan's minions._ Amen.
P A of Parts A-F *Due to the destruction of housing* caused by catastrophic-runaway-anthropogenic-global-warming [CRAGW] _extreme weather events;_ and *failed Republican policies.* There are housing shortages all over America which *is causing rent increases; and even more homelessness!* The FEMA operated homeless-communities do not require residents to check out, there is no sign-in and sign-out issues as they are long-term shelters; which provide the privacy of individual living spaces. Where the shelter residents can fell safe from the other camp residences. *Which removes many of the objections those homeless living in tents who refuse to use city established homeless-shelters; have voiced.*
F of Parts A-F The homeless-shelters are powered and heated with butane and solar-panels, depending on how well the infrastructure held up, which are integrated into the construction of the *temporary* _homeless-shelters._ Which are a dry, clean, safe place to sleep, and store their stuff. People from the city drive out to the *Homeless-Shelter-Villages* [HSV] to pick up food bank food; because that is where the food banks and free-ice machines are located.
Just as a big problem in America today and it will only get worse if we continue to build houses that people cannot afford. Zoning in cities controls the size of the house number of windows and number of bathrooms. Economical housing should be exempt from zoning and property tax. Small houses can be built quite attractive today, they cost less than materials and they are more ecological and economically sound. Tear down these giant houses and build something for 200 million Americans.
P *3 of 4* Those with income pay rent which is 10% of their net income to the homeless-village for their 2 person _Shelter 64;_ and 20% of their net income as rent for the 4 person _Shelter 100._ Their rent money goes to pay for: *childcare for working parents,* and one free meal per day; in the community-room.
Move to the south. They have houses that cost $14,000. Income is less but better to have your own house and less income that to slave away for some SOB landlord.

ILLEGALL IMIGRANTS GET GOVERNTMENT HOUSING VOUCHERS FOR 5 YEARS
wow this entire comment was completely false and misleading. Migrants have nothing to do with anything.
Why's this not surprising. Same bad actors driving this as the Housing crash. Speculators!!!
Exactly!
If you own a home STAY in your HOME
Yep! We are pretty much stuck. No hope of going anywhere. Plenty want to buy, but then we would have nowhere to go, because every piece of property is so expensive everywhere else. It is a land rush.
Room is being made for all the illegal immigrants!
With our political system in shambles, the working class people are HURTING BIG TIME!
States needs to WAKE THE HELL UP, DEAL and FIND a SOLUTION. But then again, it’s probably asking to much!!!!! Much thoughts and prayers to these families ❤️❤️❤️
God help us!!

Bay Area my old home ..expensive low quality of life ..
Drive your car to Georgia cheap housing plenty of jobs
Good payimg jobs? And isn't there a state income tax?
So let's talk about this America has Billions to send to Ukraine in weapons and military equipment but The US doesn't have any money to End Homelessness?🤔 Can anyone please tell me why
If i ever have a home, I won't sell it at market price, I will give it away to a deserving family.
If more people did this we would have a huge portion of homes available on the market.
People need to know that when buying something is comes at a lost.
You dont sell a used car for the same price you got it, so a house shouldnt be the same.
God will humble you or life will humble you. I left Atlanta for Los Angeles. While homeless, I lived in my car. As long as I can shower daily (mission), drive/work (Beverly Hills), my damn bank account looks good. P.S. I’m single, but for families, I wouldn’t recommend!
if i know can't afford to live i moved to another place and job even i don't like the state better than being homeless
Or stop 🛑 having bunch of kids without shelter or any saving
@@yihuda7459 thats been done bye getting married
Thank you Biden you have created more homelessness. You should be so proud 😡
Blame it on these millionaire with their big boats houses and don't give a dam about the people that needs help this is why houses in California burning down because of their greedy thank 🙏 God
They give the bums and prison people places to live. The working people live in cars. That is how it is in Gainesville Florida. So glad moved to denver my pay went from 10 to 21 an hour. Florida is a cesspool for working people.
No one is good. Americans have too much pride. Stop acting like you're not supposed to go through nothing in life. Everybody has trials and tribulation. My rent is going up next month but God is taking care of me and I'm grateful.
It is frighteningly easy to become homeless when rent is raised beyond one's means or raised but can pay it knowing when it's time to renew with a rent increase, their money spent on rent thus unable to save to move under another roof.
@doing time only if it was that easy… everything is up going up, expect for peoples income…
@@cellsaverr, you gave a better answer than I would have because if anyone thinks its about getting a better job have a much too easy life to understand life. 💙
Yes it is. I lost the old house I was renting but a roof over our head as my husband was not helping at all with any bills, actually the very first time of my life I was homeless... he was using and cheating! It has been so hard on me because I was independant and then all gone for someone who just dont want to make a better life. I never used so I did not knew on top that he was doing all those crap ... I am soon divorced now :)
@doing time it depend on if you have a car also or if you have kids or not. It is not that easy...
@@GD-xc4wg, I don't know how a person can be married and still be independent, I am NOT saying it's not possible but I just don't know how that work. I have never been interested in the passenger seat of the car, seeing my last dollar, or the back of the freezer. But to your words in our hardships we also become the best soldiers to fight our own battles. Be your best friend. 💙
OVERTHROW THE GOV
The Number One Nation in the World unable to take care of its disadvantaged and dislocated citizens. 😞. Energies instead focused on continued global domination. 😢
No reason to starve in Florida. Invest in a fishing pole. Plenty of fish to eat.
And with the midday heat thy can grill it on the hood of the car.
Heartbreaking. I hope someone can help them with a 3 months rent and food to be able to rent something.
There should never be a raise on the rent unless major work are done on the appartement or building that serve the renters... 😒
Also there should be a time limit to move if you can not afford the new rent, like 6 months. It is hard when you dont have a car to find another work, when you have no family in the state/country and when you have children because they will also need change their school...
Law should change about this!
Please provide cash apps or Zelle for these people.
Keep voting Republican sunshine state
It's Democrats that ruining the country, just look at the gas prices.
We’re just getting started..unfortunately
Get out of Florida. Move to another state
welcome to capitalism..
I have been forced to live in a Hostel room for the past 8 yrs because of this same problem. But I've managed to save. God Bless.
Blessings in Jesus name.
You have to move to a new state/location. What else can you do?
It takes money to move you need 1st and last month rent, and she would have to secure a job In the new location 1st.
So no rent to be paid and they can’t afford food. Something isn’t right

P *1 of 4* Cities can eliminate homeless tent cities by replacing them with *Homeless Shelter Villages* [HSV] using _Pallet Shelter's_ existing *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV] components. The _Community Room_ sells for $37,000 and serves as a shared laundry room, restaurant, *child daycare center,* and addiction services center. The _Bathroom_ cost $35,000 and the _Services Office_ costs $9,000. So for only $81,000 a city can establish a *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV]. The 10'X10' *Camping Cube Sport Pop Up Tent* costs only $120 provides protection from the elements; for two people and their belongings.
P *4 of 4* The homeless can simply move the tents they are using now into the homeless-village and the RVs are assigned a parking space. *Or the **_Shelter 100,_** provided by FEMA,* is a $9,500 shelter that is climate controlled, built in one hour, is 100 sq. ft., and uses a folding bunk system to house up to four beds. *_Pallet Shelter's_* private sleeping cabins offer *security* and durability. Which addresses the concerns of the homeless who reject the restrictions of “bed-only” homeless-shelters; for only one night.
I worked for the USA Government as a Contractor for 21 years, I am a Female. Long ago I was the ONLY Female Contractor in my State. I have a Girlfriend I grew up with well, Her Mother also a Government Worker, has worked for the New York Housing Authority & Los Angeles Housing Authority for a total of 30 yrs. She was in a high position and now has retired. I have called several Women's Shelters to tell them how the immediate Application process to immediately get Women like this one in to affordable Housing works. She doesn't have to make 2 and 1\2 times the rent. They accept all Veterans, everyone doesn't know how to get these beautiful Apts.. NO ONE HAS EVER CALLED ME BACK. So they don't want help its available.
Your message is a little unclear...are you offering help? Edit the message please
I am a Veteran... how do I apply? I am in Pinellas County Florida
*Paragraph 4 of 4.* 89 million Americans is 27% of the *working* population! Or a $50,000 a year stipend for 40 million American families of 4 making less than $15 an hour; *so that they are NOT made permanently homeless.* Amen.
The hate of the neighbor has grown tremendously here in America. People have become slaves to the spoils, to those with authority and power. I became homeless after the amputation of my feet and I was faced with nothing more but judgement, then I seen the lost and the just cast out. I came to know the truth about compassion, mercy and kindness. I spoke and prayed to God, pleading that I don’t become like these heartless people. I separated myself from those buildings who call themselves a church, I seen how they used the poor and needy for their evil gains. I was in delray Beach, and Boca Raton Florida. I witnessed many things from 2004 to 2008. I seen the poor and needy cry, pleaded and beg for mercy. Well I now have truth for you. GOD the almighty has heard your cries, I have seen GOD remove many of them from off the face of this earth. Those so called man of God can’t even get a drink of water, and they are silent in their grave. No one hears their plead not even God. God is the giver of the earth, the giver of all things. This is the truth, the grave will be the end for many God gives life and He can take it. In 2020 and 2022 we have seen the almighty God remove and shut things up. All this unjust judgement, hate to the neighbor is going to be judged by the creator the righteous God who is a righteous judge. Look what Jesus Christ said, He came for the poor, the needy those who have been cast out. Look they killed Jesus Christ do you not know they will kill you. Don’t go to them for a drink of water or you will become their slave
D With subsidized for the homeless electric-cargo-bikes at all bus stops from companies like: _Wheels, Lime, Link, and Veo_ in the city and at the homeless encampment; so the working homeless can get to work. *Which are large 1,000 people disaster relief centers.* With trucked in water. Shared laundry, toilet, cooking, and shower-facilities. With restaurants, post office, and stores; just like a large campground.
PAR
P *2 of 4* Cities are spending millions of dollars to open and run homeless bed shelters; that the homeless reject due to the many restrictions and lack of security. _Pallet Shelter's_ two person _Shelter 64_ cost only $7,000 and provides a dignified, secure sleeping base of operation. So for only $201,000 [$120 tents] a city can establish and run a *Homeless Shelter Village* with 1000 shelters that can accommodate 2,000 people: 2 beds and belongings per 10'X10' tent.
P B of Parts A-F The B!den administration has proposed *Christian, compassionate,* homeless solutions *but Republicans* do not want the FEMA homeless encampments within their cities; which *have the highest number of homeless families.* The solution is FEMA coordinated homeless communities a 30 minute bus ride, 24/7, every 20 minutes, from the FEMA established homeless shelters; to the city. *Established on land made vacant due to global-warming extreme weather events; that no one should rebuild on.*
C The FEMA homeless-communities / encampments are _close enough to the city to work;_ *and far enough away from the town to be out of sight and mind.* Established on land now vacant due to the extreme weather events which is creating the housing shortage. Due to the catastrophic-runaway-anthropogenic-global-warming *[CRAGW] that Republiguns deny exists.*
I have completely stopped, cold turkey, stopped spending (meaning shopping for fun) unless it's on food/gas/bills...
E of Parts A-F In the on-site factories the homeless population's workforce is used to make more homeless shelters from plastic-waste taken from the oceans and government subsidized Styrofoam; and electric car conversion kits which cost only $3,600 because _The Defense Production Act_ was invoked. _Which does not include the cost of batteries and installation._
PAR
*Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.* Deny instincts to be cruel. *Think before you speak and choose to be kind.* _Choose to be charitable._ *Know that there is a Holy Trinity. So be brave. Have faith. Be humble.* Find the courage to grasp a *real-man's* first obligation; *to protect his family and our Mother the Earth. From being injured and killed* _due to the bottomless greed of Satan's minions._ Amen.
P A of Parts A-F *Due to the destruction of housing* caused by catastrophic-runaway-anthropogenic-global-warming [CRAGW] _extreme weather events;_ and *failed Republican policies.* There are housing shortages all over America which *is causing rent increases; and even more homelessness!* The FEMA operated homeless-communities do not require residents to check out, there is no sign-in and sign-out issues as they are long-term shelters; which provide the privacy of individual living spaces. Where the shelter residents can fell safe from the other camp residences. *Which removes many of the objections those homeless living in tents who refuse to use city established homeless-shelters; have voiced.*
But in 1996 when I moved to Florida this was the formula 1000 move but 1000 will move back where they came front . it’ not happening now?
F of Parts A-F The homeless-shelters are powered and heated with butane and solar-panels, depending on how well the infrastructure held up, which are integrated into the construction of the *temporary* _homeless-shelters._ Which are a dry, clean, safe place to sleep, and store their stuff. People from the city drive out to the *Homeless-Shelter-Villages* [HSV] to pick up food bank food; because that is where the food banks and free-ice machines are located.
Girllll ain't no such thing as a MA nurse.. ur a medical assistant and they don't make much money. Become a CNA and u will have a higher paying job
Just as a big problem in America today and it will only get worse if we continue to build houses that people cannot afford. Zoning in cities controls the size of the house number of windows and number of bathrooms. Economical housing should be exempt from zoning and property tax. Small houses can be built quite attractive today, they cost less than materials and they are more ecological and economically sound. Tear down these giant houses and build something for 200 million Americans.
P *3 of 4* Those with income pay rent which is 10% of their net income to the homeless-village for their 2 person _Shelter 64;_ and 20% of their net income as rent for the 4 person _Shelter 100._ Their rent money goes to pay for: *childcare for working parents,* and one free meal per day; in the community-room.
Move to the south. They have houses that cost $14,000. Income is less but better to have your own house and less income that to slave away for some SOB landlord.
This county is a very wealthy county!
Only rich and poor in Florida no in between it’s a low wage state
Where are the fathers of these children
Interesting how all these women have kids but no man to help with the bills, are they all widows? 🤔🤨
I doubt they are widows; they are modern feminist women who can do anything a man can do only better. Look how well they are doing.
As long as the governor and the legislature is focused on solving important issue like drag queen story time, Disney's tax status, and trans athletes.
Tell this beautiful lady she is welcome to the Caribbean of St Maarten - St Martin (sxm)
Why do all these people have sooo many kids when they dont have well paying jobs? Absolute idiocy.
This is an heartbreaking story. Can the news reporters suggest efficiency's?
Great true story-book title-"Cowboy Mafia "..

Can asylum seekers claim housing benefit?
Asylees are one category of immigrants that can access federal mainstream benefits, such as cash assistance through Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or health insurance through Medicaid.
No they can't access any of that quit making stuff up. If you are going go allege something u have to prove it.
@Greg Sage genius?
If you read the whole post it is from govt website.
Americans are spending 100 million per week on the immigration crisis.

I hate landlords, hate them. How cruel to just up rent unneedlessly like that? They dont need the money. Why is there so much greed! A stop must be had to increase of rents, no more than 2-3% a year...
Did it ever occur to you that landlords have expenses and bills to pay on their properties? Do you think everything is free for them or something?
@@rcas350pilot8 lol yeah cause we paying those bills 😂😂😂😂😂 literally paid someone else's mortgage for years for them to just evict me from my home whenever they felt like it.
This is shameful!
Lol
rent control is needed. it might seem anticapitalist or unamerican to limit what a property owner can charge but so what. It should be considered unamerican to raise a rent more than the rate of inflation which is about 8 -14%... ive seen people charged 60% more upon lease renewal and now this lady says her rent went up from 1800 to 3500? THAT should be considered unamerican and the person responsible should be ashamed. Govt is supposed to protect the interest of citizens. It seems that the government asssumed that Florida becoming a preferred destination for its freedoms was good and nothing need be done but in fact rent control should have been established at least for long time florida residents. The greed of property owners needs to be checked.
