I can understand because I'm homeless living in VA. And me and my kids are living out of my van. But I'm still working it's very hard so I'm sending them away to school. And know I have to try and save up to get an RV. I just tried, and I'm just praying ššæ for all us homeless people all over the world that you all for making these videos.

This was very enlightening as well as informative.
I became disabled and unable to work earlier this year - I am waiting for approval for SSDI (6 month process if there are no obstacles). I have used all of my savings and cashed out two retirement funds. This is my last month being able to afford my current apartment of 15 years. I have already started packing, put some belongings in storage before I'm on the streets next month. Section 8 housing has a wait list of 12 years currently.
Yeah, each homeless person has a story - not all are drug addicts or bums.
Welcome to America.

I grew up in the ā70s in a single-parent household. My sister and I fended for ourselves while my mother worked lunchtimes and evenings at a local restaurant. Poverty breeds anxiety and fear in ways that stick to the bone for the rest of your life. I can completely relate to what everyone in this video is going through, so much so that I find it hard to watch. It brings up all of that insecurity I felt and continue to feel, even though those days are now long behind me.

In 1974 my cousin's parents bought a house in Newport Beach for $64,000. The value of that house has fluctuated over the years but is worth around $2.5 million dollars. Prior to moving to California they were looking at a house in the Palmer Woods neighborhood in Detroit for $40,000. The 70s was probably the last time the cost-of-living Coast-to-Coast was fairly balanced.

I loved how the gal at the Home Depot encampment explained that it's not only druggies who are homeless. I've been homeless and was blessed to have a car to sleep in. I was working 37 hours a week and couldn't save up for "first last and deposit." It's not fun, but you take it day by day and are purposeful with your finances.

I drove from LA California to Vancouver BC last summer. Every major city we went through had a tremendous homeless population. LA, Portland, Seattle, even in Vancouver. I live in Riverside and work in Orange County. Every area has its neighborhoods of homeless. This is not just SF sadly. Many are choosing to be house less due to the high cost of housing and living expenses. I was homeless once in the early 80ās. Once there itās hard to climb out. There for the grace of Godā¦

As a former Rehab, Sub- Acute Nurse my heart goes to our homeless folks. Homelessness comes from many reasons. So don't stereotype them. Some came from divorce, injuries (permanent, long term, acute etc) , poverty, mental health (depression, addiction, Schizophrenia, etc), low income, low credit scores, rent is just too high, and many other reasons. They all equally need our help, understanding, and emphaty.

That lady that repurposes Home Depot "garbage" is a sharp cookie!
