San Diego's Point in Time Count of the county's homeless population happened early Thursday morning. CBS 8 spoke with a family who's directly impacted.
As a Social Worker that helps the Homeless Clients downtown. Those "counts" are way wrong. There are way more Homeless than that! The city is "hiding them" in various "shelters" or shoving them out of downtown so they aren't included in the "counts". Been seeing the "games" for years now.
Thank you for all you do by the way, I appreciate you and I completely agree as I walk from Golden HIll or take the #2 bus to go Downtown. It's mind blowing.
This state only concern about Greed, immigration,not the low income ,poor. Once these people could help themselves.The U S is changing with Greed as our guidance,not love,understanding or equal opportunity.
This is what happens when algorithms decide rents. I looked at a place in Chula Vista. The next day I took my spouse to see it and the price was $200 more. I asked why and was told that the system decides the price automatically based on availability.
Good god not you giving $10 gc to ppl who only talk to you geez. What is this world coming to. The homeless are homelss bc everything cost way to dang much here and thats not including the healthcare needs we all have!!!
I was there and guided them to the appropriate resources yesterday. To all the idiots in the chat who just want to use this to smack talk California, just know they said they received more resources and support here than in the South, which is why they came here.
We need affordable housing where people don’t have to apply for assistance. It’s a shame that there’s so many heartless not so human’s. Not everyone is addicted to drugs or alcohol. Gavin and Gloria need to be replaced. Taxes are set to increase. Property taxes and school bonds need to be investigated. Immediately
More needs to be done for the homeless who are mentally ill...I'm not referring to people who use drugs...I am talking about mentally ill people who ARE NOT substance abusers. When admitted to hospitals they are released before getting a proper diagnosis...most are released in hours. Especially if they are uninsured or on state Medi-cal .
Can the government provide jobs and affordable housing together? It doesn’t have to be in downtown. It can be in the suburbs. Farming, construction, so many things they can do and earn their place, food and respect. Government has to step up and be creative and collaborative. Don’t work in silos.
Shelters are just like jail. They are in a dorm like place. They have to be able to trust the individuals that run these places, and they aren't able to get a straight answer from anyone ever. I know my situation looks more bleak than these. That's the truth.
They live outside, and this place has the best climate on the planet. If they move somewhere colder they may end up freezing to death. Even with how nice it is here the nights aren't exactly warm. I can't blame them.
So I was there when this was taken and spoke to them. The reason they did that is because back in the South the government provided no support for them. Try not to be a condescending piece of shit next time.
Don't move to San Diego or California if you can't afford to do so. The cost of living is insane and is why many young families and retirees are moving.
Sad circumstances seems like some of the homeless crisis it's just not enough low income housing resources, in my state some people have applied for low income housing either they're still on the waiting list or waiting for the waiting list to open to apply just waiting on housing vouchers is a process and once a person receives a housing voucher it's becoming difficult to find subtle housing because a lot of landlords no longer wants to accept those vouchers never been homeless and pray it never comes to that 😔
People with low income should just move to another affordable states. San Diego is very expensive to live in! California have a huge shortage of affordable housing! And not enough shelters.
Like you’re any better. I spoke to these ladies yesterday and they told me they receive more support here in SD than they did in the South. Go fuck yourself.
Then why did they tell me they left the South because that place was a dump, their leaders were worse, and they found more support here. If you don’t like it here then get the hell out. We’re way better off without you anyways.
Omg you’re so dumb🤦. They share one phone. I was there yesterday giving them resources they needed to access via their phone. You know, like their city councilman, or the San Diego Housing Commission. Maybe if you tried helping these people rather than just being an asshole online you would know this stuff.
Well see the thing is when you have idiots (pigs) swipping the places the homeless sleep it gets a bit hard to hold on to your valuables (phones, imp documents) Also buying one phone doesn't equate to paying thousands of dollars for rent each month, duh
@@desertglow1627 Duh your the idiots new iPhone are very expensive $1,400 .00 average, no ones will fell sorry for the homeless when they walked around with h brand new iPhones.
Dear homeless sisters and brothers you shouldn't go to this suffering and living in this environment... Great News transfer to Florida Governor De Santis is welcoming all US citizens with working and shelter opportunities and amazing weather. Please, apply now 😊
😂 you’re so dumb. I was there yesterday during this. They told me the whole reason they left the South was because of the lack of resources and opportunity. That’s why my Dad left Florida for CA, he found better opportunities here. Maybe if you weren’t such an idiot you would learn how corrupt and poor the South is.
@ The younger one has a job you moron. You’re probably a bum looking to make people’s lives miserable rather than make this a better place for people to live in.
Pray for these souls. Thank you channel 8 for putting a human face on this tragic issue
Soon we will be hungry even if you have money

STOP FEEDING THEM. People like you are only extending their suffering. You are the real problem.

@TheSnerggly thank you for the thank you. :)
I want to see ALL the council members volunteering 😠!!

2 people =2 salaries...
They just want free housing....
How do we remedy the issue? More shelters is temporary fix. Cost of living is too high.
Newsom can't account for billions wasted on NPO's
Is NPO's Non Profit Organizations?
Study and get a career....quit asking for free housing

So they moved to the second most expensive city to live in the Country in 2022?
Many of the homeless were born in San Diego the city... or surrounding areas.
They live outside, and this place has the best climate on the planet.
If they move somewhere colder they may end up freezing to death. Even with how nice it is here the nights aren't exactly warm.
I can't blame them.

@@beboplady1542100% Bullshit. It’s the opposite. They were trucked in here or came here from somewhere else. This is absolutely false.
@@beboplady1542these two weren't born in Chula Vista 😳 probably given a one way ticket from Baltimore or are you that clueless 🤔

@cerrittarockwell2561 socialworker here...being on those "lists" can take 10-15 YEARS to get low income housing. Just fyi
What happened with making America great again, Millions of people going poor every day, no public restrooms, parks, recreation spaces. !
When are the free one way bus tickets from Baltimore or Ohio to California going to end , let those states take care of their homeless problems.
People with low income should just move to another affordable states. San Diego is very expensive to live in! California have a huge shortage of affordable housing! And not enough shelters.
@@bernadette63ceo93 and are you going to help them move there? They have little to no income...
Stay away from downtown 🤣
The place is a dump cause the leaders are dump🎉

Why the homeless has expensive new iPhones. My phone is 7 years old, pay your rent instead buying new iPhones

Well then I’d move back from where I came from…
Then get the hell out of here. We’d be better off without you.
