This is exactly why I'm starting my project called project finding freedom The resources available are only temporary. Sadly being homeless has many layers to it. Peel away the layer of addiction you have trauma, peel back the layer of trauma you have possibly generational trauma peel back that layer and you just keep peeling back layers and layers I am so fortunate to not have been homeless but I've been very close I've also worked with the homeless and I decided at the end of this month that I no longer can afford to rent in the city or anywhere and so I'll be converting a school bus into a mini home When I am done I will be raising awareness to this alternative lifestyle fundraising and building a mini bus into a home which will provide jobs for local struggling individuals and businesses and it will be donated to provide a forever home for someone who is experiencing homelessness right now Because here's the thing let's say you apply and get funding for first month rent and damage deposit okay so what about the next month and the next month and the next month and now this person's used up all the resources available to them We need to provide alternative solutions There's a saying that says the system is working... I never understood that because for me I always thought the system was broken however when you finally realize how corrupt things are you realize the system is doing exactly what it was designed to do.
The very first homeless person l ever heard of was the winter of 68-69 in Edmonton . It made the front page of the journal . The whole city was concerned , how can this be ? Never heard of anyone taking drugs back then .
This is pathetic. There are lots of government buildings [ the lobby of silly hall for example } where 100's of people could sleep for the night The under ground parking at the Convention Center , it is empty . The Convention center its self is empty Large empty heated space and people are sleeping outside ? Shame on the people who could do something and they only think of themselves . what about all these empty office towers that are sitting empty . No excuses for anyone to have to sleep outside .
Oh yeah so the lobby of city hall can be used to smoke and inject drugs. Normal homeless don't get banned from shelters. Junkie sub humans do let em freeze their own damn choice
I'm pretty sure this year a high rise building under construction had to be demolished because homeless people were sleeping in it and they were just shiting and pissing in the holes in the floor.
@@frankyvr Your house is full ? The City kisses the ass of the CUPE members to make sure their well looked after . CUPE runs the City not the Mayor and counsel . Tax payers are slaves to the unions .
It sometimes does feel hopeless, when we realize, there is no lack of publicly available infrastructure that could be used - however we are in a housing crises, where the average person cannot afford inflationary rents now. It is important to keep this advocacy moving.
So they were banned from the shelters?
Just what I was thinking 🤔
saometimes that does happen - yes!

I am so fortunate to not have been homeless but I've been very close I've also worked with the homeless and I decided at the end of this month that I no longer can afford to rent in the city or anywhere and so I'll be converting a school bus into a mini home
When I am done I will be raising awareness to this alternative lifestyle fundraising and building a mini bus into a home which will provide jobs for local struggling individuals and businesses and it will be donated to provide a forever home for someone who is experiencing homelessness right now
Because here's the thing let's say you apply and get funding for first month rent and damage deposit okay so what about the next month and the next month and the next month and now this person's used up all the resources available to them
We need to provide alternative solutions

Alpha House saved my life.
We are so glad to hear this!
Build more houses or let them work on a farm in exchange for shelter and food 🤔
Work lol
Without drugs
Housing with supports is 100% the solution!
Its getting cold
And again, the Winter is coming - we are preparing!
