Fremont's Safe Sleeping program registers people's cars and affords them safe spaces to park overnight at area churches. Andria Borba reports. (7-28-22)

The city should be ashamed of itself. Cost of living is absurd, wages are shameful, and social services are pathetically underfunded. Sick of how we treat each other.
You said the cost of living is absurd but you want more social services also. You see more social services require more money. More money comes from more taxes. More taxes mean property owners and businesses have to pay more taxes that causes the cost of living to go up. Rent food stuff like that. Its a viscous circle. More of the same thing that caused the problem in the first place only makes things worse.
@@miker9082 there's plenty of tax dollars that have already been paid in to address these issues. We've given Ukraine 4.6 Billion since the start of the war, the US just passed a 280 Billion dollar "chips and science act" which is basically corporate welfare, and just increased the defense budget for next year to 810 Billion. There's plenty of money in the coffers already, it's just not being spent on what it should be.
@@Operator_68 there is no money because it is being sent out of country. But the city is what we were talking about and there still is no money for more and more free stuff.

California's voters did this and more of the same simply will not work.
Freemont is for the rich. When the rich move in rents go up and many become homeless. Someone needs to help her find decent housing and welfare. God Bless her and her dog. Please help them. Suggest giving her food and also dog food and water for her dog.
This is really sad because the lady doesn't fit the usual type of homeless person. She's not a drug addict, criminal, alcoholic, or mental case. She's the kind of homeless that serve as a reminder how close to financial ruin many Americans are right now.
I've learned one valuable thing in life and I'm going to pass this on to you and others one must always try to live within their means and this will never happen
Not every homeless person got homeless because of drugs, addiction, crime etc. It just takes a very unfortunate sharp turn in your life for you to lose everything. In this day in age, this can happen to anyone. There’s an obvious homelessness problem & our government isn’t helping.
My family are almost all dead. I might seem like that mentally ill person you look down on. I'm grieving several deaths on top of having to get out of an abusive relationship and am pregnant and can't find help yet. Do you know what that amount of stress does to a person? Some of those who you write off have stories you wouldn't know if you look down on them. Not everyone who seems ill are ill but instead are dealing with a ridiculous amount of stress that most will never experience.
For all the youth at there Please take note . Live within your means . Save save save Absolutely do not spend frivolously No new cars Invest both in financially and in your self . Think long term . A lot of people end up homeless due to personal decisions through out life that left in them positions
Do all the above and stay away from hard drugs, and don't get pregnant before ur married. If you do these things you have a 90% chance of ending up fine.
All great advice. My wife and I make over six figures and we don't buy new cars. Terrible investment. Also, never use credit cards and learn to cook at home properly.

Heavy duty jobs, or fast pace jobs, is not for older people. Lifting sacks of one hundred pounds of rice, or beans for 8 hours, or breaking concrete for 8 hours, or loading 20-40 pound boxes non-stopping for 8 hours, a lot of people will quit the job, or get fired, because most people cannot handle a heavy duty job, or a fast pace job. And the critic's will say, why didn't you go to college? But even college graduates can find themselves homeless. In the 60s and 70s there was no homeless crisis, because the cost of living was cheap. The homeless crisis is going to be millions and millions of homeless people living in the streets, all because of the love of money.
That is a cool program to utilize church parking lots. This sort of program sounds much better than whatever scheme is going on with the VTA parking lots.
I find it disgusting that we live in "the richest country in the world" and people have to live like this. At her age she shouldn't have to be going through this. Prayers and best wishes to you ma'am.
You have to put some blame on these people refusing to leave & continuing to live in the horrible SF area. If she can drive down the road & willing to work, she should be driving further away from SF, looking for another affordable city that's hiring people for work.
Prayer is great. However, people need to demand affordable housing. Greedy city leadership is apparently not creating affordable housing for average earners. So many are suffering and that is very sad. Old Saying: If you don't want to get stepped on, get off the floor. Get active.
Bless the community of Fremont for looking out for their own. A safe place to park is huge when you’re homeless. Hopefully more permanent housing options are on the horizon for this woman and her dog.
The homeless woman and her dog would do best by getting onto substance programs. Sadly, she is the future of Freemont, since housing and cost of living are not affordable for most people. Many are forced into the streets and into poverty when they cannot pay high rents. When there is unaffordable cost of living, homelessness and crime become real problems and cities become slowly ruined.
@@duancoviero9759 Yeah, that's the part where you look for another job that you can tolerate and then quit the first job. Not quit the only job you have so that you can live in your car and cry poverty.
It’s better. They’re called safe parking lots and are usually manned by church or state workers. They have other services like substance abuse meetings, food, medical. And they lock the lot at night. I stayed at one in alameda for a while. It wasn’t perfect though and it depends on what ethnicity you are to see how you do there. I was by Oakland so everyone there was black and I don’t mean the kind of guys who hardworking men who fell on hard times but hard core life long criminals and drug users. Very unsavory guys with multiple layers of problems that seemed to never end in numbers and or breadth.
It disturbs me that she had work “ but just didn’t work out”. So she chose to be homeless rather than stick it out working at some place unsuitable for her?
If the liberals cared so much for the middle class, there would be more rent control to combat this homeless crisis. The present status quo within Sacramento needs to change.
@@PharaohFluidity Newscum has been in political power for over 15 years. He promised to fix the homeless problems and the crime issues for a long time. All you have to do is look around and see the results. Gas tax to fix the roads was never spent on fixing them, billion dollar fire prevention fund and not 1 dollar spent to prevent fires, 10’s of millions for helping homeless and the problem continues to get worse, emptying jails because of COVID and crime increases, tells you to stay home and mask up goes out to French Laundry no mask, billion dollar bullet train to nowhere but no solution for the water issue.
@@PharaohFluidity Look at the homeless on the streets in every city......now try to find a building that houses the homeless.....theres your answer about Newsom.
"I went to work at a couple of places and it didn't work out, it just wasn't for me." Huh? So living in your car is working out? I've had jobs that "weren't for me" but I stuck with it until I found one that did.
Yes, but she is still homeless. She was a good, hardworking person who did all the right things, yet she still became homeless, because she could no longer afford to pay her rent that had become too high after wealthy young techies moved in and greedy landlords realized huge profits. Freemont is for the rich. People making less than $100K a year cannot afford to live there. Working and middle class people need to stand up and demand affordable housing. When housing is unaffordable, the quality of life of rich communities becomes poor due to rampant homeless, drug use, and crimes. Suppose that is their karma.
I see a nice 3 bed bath house for 1m$ in Fremont. There's no reason why a 60+ year old dominant caste woman shouldn't have 300k liquid net worth to pay off a bedroom bathroom suite for herself with shared kitchen and laundry. America created far too many opportunities for her, especially having lived through the greatest feminist wave in the history of the world. This is yet another perfect example of how few people are truly homeless. Most typically just have either some mental illness or drug addiction, which is not homelessness! It becomes just a slap in the face of all the truly homeless people who simply can't afford a bedroom bathroom suite simply because no one will hire them. That's not the story for this lady.
@@kevinsouza7744 Yea but what is the purpose of the zoning laws we must ask ourselves. Its rooted in racism, segregation, and greed. The affluent whites and asians of the bay area don't want their property values to decrease when desperately needed affordable housing units are built nearby them. Because those affordable housing units are associated with low income black and brown minorities and crime.
I think people would be more tolerant of the homeless if they did not victimize people in nearby homes and businesses, and picked up their trash and human waste.
@@schousehead The majority living on the streets probably are alcoholics or drug addicts, but they still do not have homes, so they are homeless. There are people with drug problems who are not homeless. There are also people having financial problems and are living in their cars.
I call it the new homeless. They are decent people either working or looking for work sleeping in cars. Many of these people are full time van life or rv dwellers. I have been on the road and I think I will fo a blog with interviews.
With Babybooms reaching a peak in 10 years, this problem will only perpetuate. This middle class is in jeopardy. Unfortunately, van life will be common for many.
Van life actually isn’t so bad. Freedom to live where you want, reduced living expenses, enough space to sleep and hang out.. I kinda miss it sometimes.
There goes 9 years of your life in the toilet :/ damn that sucks. I could never stay at a job that negatively affects my mental health. That comes first.
This story is amazing! It shows us that, we shouldn't get complacent at this age. We need to think about the fact that we will get older and sometimes before the ss payments come on. Children start now saving. Some jobs look at age but keep looking because some employers want older, more dependable people and will pay more.
When rich young techie professionals move in rents go up and many become homeless. Wealthy churches need to work to create affordable housing for the homeless.
I couldn’t imagine living on the streets where I live. Too hot and humid 10 months out of the year, even at night. I hope for the best for this lady but atleast her temperature is comfortable outdoors most year round. Wish her the best. Hopefully finds a new job soon.
That's the problem, people want to live in coastal zone of California, I did. I left a ~$100K job, to take a $45K job in PHX In the 1990's. Bought a $50K home during the Great Recession. I have friends scrapping by at ~$250K/yr, $6000/mo rent
If you’re in the camp of people thinking a job will solve your problems in this financial environment you’re going to be broke. Job mentality means you can’t afford anything - got to start thinking differently.
I hope someday there will be a plan in place for everyone who reaches a certain advanced age to have a decent place to live whatever their economic status. When you are younger it's up to you to make your way in life but at an advanced age mercy should be shown because it's brutally tough on the body.
Richest country in the world and this is how people have to live? I'm heartbroken. I served four years in the 101st but this isn't what I stood for. I really cannot believe it is this bad...
Where I work, we hired back 90% of the people laid off that wanted to come back. The other 10% just sucked and weren't asked back. We have a hell of a time finding people to fill some entry-level positions we have. Full-time, regular business hours, pays $17/hr and includes full benefits, including 50% of healthcare premiums paid by employer, 401k with matching funds, vacation days and profit sharing. Literally anyone willing to show up with a good attitude and willing to do some light labor can get the job.
wow. who would think that all the techies that move to fremont would push its local residents onto the streets. stop the housing market vultures. tax those real estate investors til its not profitable.
I left California in 2013. BEST DECISION EVER!! Moved to Minnesota bought a 2 bedroom condo for 70k!! in 2020. My mortgage is $300 per month. My association fees are covered by my stock dividend checks. I pay my electric bill 2 years in advance. The association fees cover 1. Heat 2. Water 3. Garbage 4. Snow removal. Gonna pay this place off real quick! Then I will only have to pay......$89 a month for property taxes and insurance 🙃 I came to Minnesota with nothing a job and a car. Peace
@@WingelG Back in 13 that was doable, now not so much. But yeah aside from wanting to be near family , there are cheaper rural lifestyles in the midwest. weather might not be as nice as the bay area but the cost of living is less.
This makes me sick. It should not be so unaffordable to live in the Bay Area that people become homeless. Thanks to the tech companies and out of country buyers, the Bay Area sucks!!!!
@Ivana Notyers That woman is not a drug addict, she's one of the many unfortunate people who were priced out of living here by the techies and out of country buyers.
How can this be called a "program" to be able to park at a parking lot? This country needs to provide real social services especially to people who is trying to get back on their feet.
We are in a recession and things are going to get much worse. Our government prefer to send money offshore than putting America first. This is destroying America.
@@carrizma123 Show me what you have done about solving the problem yourself. You think parking a car in a parking lot is enough to help people out of homelessness. Its certainly isn't.
Anything goes in Fremont! Every department you talk to they don't have the resources? Nice to know Fremont P.D. has 60 vacancies and nobody is applying? Makes you feel safe in a city with a population of 300,000 and the Mayor keeps developing??? Good job Lily???
Fortunately Fremont has a nearby template for solving the homeless problem. SF spends $500 million ANNUALLY (and rising) on the homeless, and it has completely eliminated homelessness in their city. Right...?
What's important is that they all feel better about themselves for ticking that box and writing that check, even if the problem only gets worse every year. SF is a city that spent $500,000 on a "study" to determine which new public garbage cans to buy. You see, the old ones needed new hinges and locks from time to time. But the new ones will have exactly the same problem in a few years and only cost $10,000 each!
Bless them! When you got nowhere to go, you got nowhere to go. I was a working homeless in the early 2000s. You never know how hard this is until you have to do it. Very slippery slop.
I live in a small mountain community and every shop and store has a help wanted sign. Work is everywhere. How is it in the bay area? Are people being too picky or is it just the cost of housing? In my area, we have a lack of housing. People just never returned to work after the pandemic?
I believe it's the cost of housing. There are so many hiring signs but no one seems to fill the positions. Mostly lower wage jobs. More than likely because they don't live in the area anymore. They can't afford it or when they do apply for housing (I work in property management) they don't qualify because they have to compete with millionaires. The whole thing is a mess!
If we demand our elected officials spend the money to reopen the mental institutions we closed in the 1980's a lot of homeless people would be off the street. Putting them in jail only makes the problem worse.
To bad in America, the low wage workers have to pay for everything like the high wage workers, the worker is not afforded a home, needs address to get hired/collect SS, disability, government assistance, healthcare, food and so on. No the employer expects you to pay for it all including higher education because its lawful to do so.
Bay area logic- make cost of living through the roof and have private equity firms raise rent Also Bay area logic- why are there's so many homeless people now Me-🤦
It sounds like she chose homelessness. She walked away from jobs that were not for her. If I were about to lose the roof over my head, I’d take any job…plenty of places are short staffed and are willing to hire.
Really? I’m so underpaid trying to hold on to it because of th r recession fears. So difficult to live in what im making. Better than this woman but not better than per my age. Every time I ask for the market rate I get ghosted. Been ghosted for 5 roles in last 11 months. Those Roles are still open though.
I forgot to add in the last one year. I’ve Amazon flexed, tried for 5 Starbucks jobs - not even an interview dumbed down my resume, tried at Panera, Togos and Citibank all in Fremont as part time employee. Never heard. Open positions are just for a sham. They hire the ones they know. I’m in program management and despite spending 10 years in HArdware I get paid shit and no jobs even the Manual ones
The best thing to do if one has the resources is to buy a van, more room to move around. Having a car is the next best thing I've been watching utube videos on van dwellers what a person can do to survive is amazing.
You remind me of intolerant liberals who tell blue color workers to learn to code. people at this age can't 'retrain and change careers on a dime like you seem to think. There's a certain stability that you need in life when you get older, a stability that our society doesn't offer anymore. Too bad.
Although Freemont is current being advertised as the best city in America to raise a family, Freemont is unaffordable for average earners making less than $100K a year. When the cost of housing and the cost of living become unaffordable for most people; homelessness and crime increases dramatically. Soon Freemont will be like San Francisco. America needs affordable housing to maintain safe and livable communities.
Are there non-profits that would provide relocation to a cheaper state? To me that’s what most people down on their luck should do. I feel it would be better to have a job and shelter at another state than to live on the streets. I know CA government wouldn’t provide a program like that.
@@BeverleyMiller_ I did not suggest letting anyone in any church. I'm not a mentally ill liberal that wants to solve everybody's problems with other people's property.
City Leaders blame it on the pandemic. Typical. Well, ain’t that chickie? The city “leaders” chose to shutdown and close businesses, eventually, some forever, sadly. California policies for you. I was so grateful to live in Florida during the pandemic. Love him or hate him, DeSantis wanted people to keep their livelihoods.
There is more to it than that. For instance, a lot of jobs these days require heavy lifting...look at her leg. You might manage a week or two, but that's it. So many jobs where one could just sit and perform a function being partially disabled are gone.
This needs to happen in every community across America. There are thousands upon thousands of church and church goers. Open your doors and parking lots and help these people. I know in Denver alone, up in the Westminster area, there are like 10 mega churches that are the size of warehouses. You think they could use those places that are the size of 5 acres to help the homeless? But they don’t
When rich young techie professionals move in rents go up and many become homeless. Wealthy churches need to work to create affordable housing for the homeless.

Gas tax to fix the roads was never spent on fixing them, billion dollar fire prevention fund and not 1 dollar spent to prevent fires, 10’s of millions for helping homeless and the problem continues to get worse, emptying jails because of COVID and crime increases, tells you to stay home and mask up goes out to French Laundry no mask, billion dollar bullet train to nowhere but no solution for the water issue.

He was bragging about having $97.5 billion in surplus!
"I went to work at a couple of places and it didn't work out, it just wasn't for me." Huh? So living in your car is working out? I've had jobs that "weren't for me" but I stuck with it until I found one that did.

She DOES NOT harm anyone and is taking care of her dog,,love people like her and wish her all the best
Yes, but she is still homeless. She was a good, hardworking person who did all the right things, yet she still became homeless, because she could no longer afford to pay her rent that had become too high after wealthy young techies moved in and greedy landlords realized huge profits. Freemont is for the rich. People making less than $100K a year cannot afford to live there. Working and middle class people need to stand up and demand affordable housing. When housing is unaffordable, the quality of life of rich communities becomes poor due to rampant homeless, drug use, and crimes. Suppose that is their karma.
I still find it unbeliveable how they are allowed to charge so much for rent. Like, it's nuts.
Suuply/demand
@@nicholasthompson7690 An artificial supply/demand due to real estate investors and zoning laws.
Yea doesn’t it remind you of when our parents told us to stay in school and do our best.. should have listened! Now people are complaining lmao 🤣
I see a nice 3 bed bath house for 1m$ in Fremont. There's no reason why a 60+ year old dominant caste woman shouldn't have 300k liquid net worth to pay off a bedroom bathroom suite for herself with shared kitchen and laundry. America created far too many opportunities for her, especially having lived through the greatest feminist wave in the history of the world. This is yet another perfect example of how few people are truly homeless. Most typically just have either some mental illness or drug addiction, which is not homelessness! It becomes just a slap in the face of all the truly homeless people who simply can't afford a bedroom bathroom suite simply because no one will hire them. That's not the story for this lady.
@@kevinsouza7744 Yea but what is the purpose of the zoning laws we must ask ourselves. Its rooted in racism, segregation, and greed. The affluent whites and asians of the bay area don't want their property values to decrease when desperately needed affordable housing units are built nearby them. Because those affordable housing units are associated with low income black and brown minorities and crime.
I think people would be more tolerant of the homeless if they did not victimize people in nearby homes and businesses, and picked up their trash and human waste.
those are not homeless, they are people choosing to live on the street to take drugs
@@schousehead The majority living on the streets probably are alcoholics or drug addicts, but they still do not have homes, so they are homeless. There are people with drug problems who are not homeless. There are also people having financial problems and are living in their cars.
I call it the new homeless. They are decent people either working or looking for work sleeping in cars. Many of these people are full time van life or rv dwellers. I have been on the road and I think I will fo a blog with interviews.
It's the trash and filth that really gets me
With Babybooms reaching a peak in 10 years, this problem will only perpetuate. This middle class is in jeopardy. Unfortunately, van life will be common for many.
Yep van life bitches...park does vans down by da river
Van life actually isn’t so bad. Freedom to live where you want, reduced living expenses, enough space to sleep and hang out.. I kinda miss it sometimes.

Why don't you look for a new job....nobody wants to deal with bitter people that hate their job.
Those years take a toll. I wish you luck.
This story is amazing! It shows us that, we shouldn't get complacent at this age. We need to think about the fact that we will get older and sometimes before the ss payments come on. Children start now saving. Some jobs look at age but keep looking because some employers want older, more dependable people and will pay more.
Bless this sweet Lady! Hope things come together for her soon!
When rich young techie professionals move in rents go up and many become homeless. Wealthy churches need to work to create affordable housing for the homeless.
We should support homeless people like her not some drug addicts and thieves
I couldn’t imagine living on the streets where I live. Too hot and humid 10 months out of the year, even at night. I hope for the best for this lady but atleast her temperature is comfortable outdoors most year round. Wish her the best. Hopefully finds a new job soon.

How many of the 69% increase of homelessness are people from outside of Bay Area or out of state?
68% from out of state.
Probably not many are from outside the area. If anything, homeless people from the bay area are moving to Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, and so on.

If you’re in the camp of people thinking a job will solve your problems in this financial environment you’re going to be broke. Job mentality means you can’t afford anything - got to start thinking differently.
I hope someday there will be a plan in place for everyone who reaches a certain advanced age to have a decent place to live whatever their economic status. When you are younger it's up to you to make your way in life but at an advanced age mercy should be shown because it's brutally tough on the body.

Richest country in the world and this is how people have to live? I'm heartbroken. I served four years in the 101st but this isn't what I stood for. I really cannot believe it is this bad...
Scary times. Amazing how other people getting away with bunk beds in apartments and live 6/8 in a two bedroom.
Stop blaming the pandemic and blame the decision making on how to handle the pandemic. Wrong choices were made!
🎯
Where I work, we hired back 90% of the people laid off that wanted to come back. The other 10% just sucked and weren't asked back. We have a hell of a time finding people to fill some entry-level positions we have. Full-time, regular business hours, pays $17/hr and includes full benefits, including 50% of healthcare premiums paid by employer, 401k with matching funds, vacation days and profit sharing. Literally anyone willing to show up with a good attitude and willing to do some light labor can get the job.
Shame on America. This is absurd, disgusting how we have normalized this!!!

4. Snow removal. Gonna pay this place off real quick! Then I will only have to pay......$89 a month for property taxes and insurance 🙃 I came to Minnesota with nothing a job and a car.
Peace
70k for a condo? I'm impressed 😮 where were you living before buying the condo?
@@WingelG Back in 13 that was doable, now not so much. But yeah aside from wanting to be near family , there are cheaper rural lifestyles in the midwest. weather might not be as nice as the bay area but the cost of living is less.
So sad.
This makes me sick. It should not be so unaffordable to live in the Bay Area that people become homeless. Thanks to the tech companies and out of country buyers, the Bay Area sucks!!!!
@Ivana Notyers That woman is not a drug addict, she's one of the many unfortunate people who were priced out of living here by the techies and out of country buyers.
It's a sign of poor quality of life.
How can this be called a "program" to be able to park at a parking lot? This country needs to provide real social services especially to people who is trying to get back on their feet.
We are in a recession and things are going to get much worse. Our government prefer to send money offshore than putting America first. This is destroying America.

@@carrizma123 Show me what you have done about solving the problem yourself. You think parking a car in a parking lot is enough to help people out of homelessness. Its certainly isn't.

Fortunately Fremont has a nearby template for solving the homeless problem. SF spends $500 million ANNUALLY (and rising) on the homeless, and it has completely eliminated homelessness in their city. Right...?
They lie so bad. That money is by no means going to the homeless. Maybe 2% the most
What's important is that they all feel better about themselves for ticking that box and writing that check, even if the problem only gets worse every year. SF is a city that spent $500,000 on a "study" to determine which new public garbage cans to buy. You see, the old ones needed new hinges and locks from time to time. But the new ones will have exactly the same problem in a few years and only cost $10,000 each!
Housing is a human right.
There are no "rights" per se. It's all made up as we go along. You want to put these people in your home? Go ahead. Yeah, didn't think so.
Says who?
All state and city should start rent control laws. More and more people out the street.
Building back better every day folks!!!
$4,000 a month for rent ......who can afford that at minimum wage !
You cant
You cannot be serious 4k !! Wth
So sad 🙏🏾
Here is a fun fact. Fremont is the 100th most populated city in the US
Churches should be REQUIRED to help the homeless… since they don’t pay taxes.
Tha pervert preachers are too greedy
Governments should be REQUIRED..including California the third biggest economy in the world.
If I had to choose between a job that just wasn’t for me or homelessness, I’d pick the job.
Assuming you can physically do the job, and just keep looking for a better job while you are subsisting off the job you don't care for..
A lot of homeless people have jobs. Just because you have a job, that doesn't mean you can afford housing.
Bless them! When you got nowhere to go, you got nowhere to go. I was a working homeless in the early 2000s. You never know how hard this is until you have to do it. Very slippery slop.
I live in a small mountain community and every shop and store has a help wanted sign. Work is everywhere. How is it in the bay area? Are people being too picky or is it just the cost of housing?
In my area, we have a lack of housing. People just never returned to work after the pandemic?
I believe it's the cost of housing. There are so many hiring signs but no one seems to fill the positions. Mostly lower wage jobs. More than likely because they don't live in the area anymore. They can't afford it or when they do apply for housing (I work in property management) they don't qualify because they have to compete with millionaires. The whole thing is a mess!
If we demand our elected officials spend the money to reopen the mental institutions we closed in the 1980's a lot of homeless people would be off the street. Putting them in jail only makes the problem worse.
To bad in America, the low wage workers have to pay for everything like the high wage workers, the worker is not afforded a home, needs address to get hired/collect SS, disability, government assistance, healthcare, food and so on. No the employer expects you to pay for it all including higher education because its lawful to do so.
Bay area logic- make cost of living through the roof and have private equity firms raise rent
Also Bay area logic- why are there's so many homeless people now
Me-🤦
It sounds like she chose homelessness. She walked away from jobs that were not for her. If I were about to lose the roof over my head, I’d take any job…plenty of places are short staffed and are willing to hire.
Really? I’m so underpaid trying to hold on to it because of th r recession fears. So difficult to live in what im making. Better than this woman but not better than per my age. Every time I ask for the market rate I get ghosted. Been ghosted for 5 roles in last 11 months. Those Roles are still open though.

Sad sad thing. May God help us all!!

Homelessness is really a social class.
The best thing to do if one has the resources is to buy a van, more room to move around. Having a car is the next best thing I've been watching utube videos on van dwellers what a person can do to survive is amazing.
Sadly a van is likely the best it will get for many of these people. This problem will only get worse.
Wait wait…….1:28 “ I work in a couple places and it wasn’t for me?” Then don’t complain that you are homeless….
You caught that.
You remind me of intolerant liberals who tell blue color workers to learn to code. people at this age can't 'retrain and change careers on a dime like you seem to think. There's a certain stability that you need in life when you get older, a stability that our society doesn't offer anymore. Too bad.
Its a disgrace the richest country in the world has a homeless problem.
Why?
Although Freemont is current being advertised as the best city in America to raise a family, Freemont is unaffordable for average earners making less than $100K a year. When the cost of housing and the cost of living become unaffordable for most people; homelessness and crime increases dramatically. Soon Freemont will be like San Francisco. America needs affordable housing to maintain safe and livable communities.
Are there non-profits that would provide relocation to a cheaper state? To me that’s what most people down on their luck should do. I feel it would be better to have a job and shelter at another state than to live on the streets. I know CA government wouldn’t provide a program like that.
Why Didn't they show video of her Dog eating ? 😕

City Leaders blame it on the pandemic. Typical. Well, ain’t that chickie? The city “leaders” chose to shutdown and close businesses, eventually, some forever, sadly. California policies for you. I was so grateful to live in Florida during the pandemic. Love him or hate him, DeSantis wanted people to keep their livelihoods.
bingo
"Those jobs were just not for me" were they not better than being homeless!?!?!
There is more to it than that. For instance, a lot of jobs these days require heavy lifting...look at her leg. You might manage a week or two, but that's it. So many jobs where one could just sit and perform a function being partially disabled are gone.
This needs to happen in every community across America. There are thousands upon thousands of church and church goers. Open your doors and parking lots and help these people. I know in Denver alone, up in the Westminster area, there are like 10 mega churches that are the size of warehouses. You think they could use those places that are the size of 5 acres to help the homeless? But they don’t
When rich young techie professionals move in rents go up and many become homeless. Wealthy churches need to work to create affordable housing for the homeless.
Thank God she has faith and her fur baby!
Governor is inviting Florida men to settle here, no sure how they are going to survive in Bay Area 🤣
They are not moving to cali . Illegal aliens are though
There are 3 different properties near me with boarded up motels..!!!!!
Not just affordable housing. Job market is also competitive compare to other major cities.
