THOSE STORIES RIGHT NOW. ON MATTER OF FACT. HOMELESSNESS IN THE U.S. INCREASED BY 18% FROM 2023 TO 2024. THAT JUMP LARGELY DRIVEN BY THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS. IN RECENT YEARS. THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITHOUT HOMES HAS BECOME OVERWHELMING FOR MAJOR CITIES, INCLUDING LOS ANGELES. IT HAS THE SECOND LARGEST POPULATION OF UNHOUSED PEOPLE, BEHIND NEW YORK CITY. BUT SOLVING THE CRISIS TAKES MORE THAN JUST SHELTER. 67% OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS HAVE MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS. OUR CORRESPONDENT DINA DEMETRIUS VISITED HOPE, THE M O R바카라 게임 웹사이트�S, L.A. COUNTY바카라 게임 웹사이트�S LARGEST NONPROFIT SHELTER ORGANIZATION, TO SEE THE CREATIVE WAY IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S HELPING PEOPLE GET OFF THE STREETS AND LEARN ABOUT THE CHALLENGES OF PROVIDING MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT TO THOSE WHO NEED IT. WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE ON THE STREET. NO RV, NO TENT IN THE DIRT. BASICALLY, ROGER PEREZ AND HIS WIFE, JENNA, BOTH HAD DEVASTATING HEALTH CRISES THAT LANDED THEM IN THE HOSPITAL FOR MONTHS. I LOST MY JOB. I HAD SAVINGS, BUT YOU KNOW, THE SAVINGS DEPLETED. WE COULDN바카라 게임 웹사이트�T PAY RENT ANYMORE. IT FORCED THEM ONTO THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY STREETS FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. I TRIED LOOKING FOR WORK AND I COULDN바카라 게임 웹사이트�T FIND ANY. THE PEREZ바카라 게임 웹사이트�S ARE FINALLY GETTING ON THEIR FEET NOW, LIVING IN A TINY HOME, INTERIM HOUSING WITH HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONER AND SAFETY. IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S ONE OF SEVEN TINY HOME COMMUNITIES LAUNCHED IN 2021 BY HOPE, THE MISSION AND THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES. IF WE DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T HAVE PLACES LIKE THIS, THE WHOLE THING DOESN바카라 게임 웹사이트�T WORK. MISSION PRESIDENT ROWAN VAN CLEVE SAYS. TINY HOME COMMUNITIES HAVE BEEN GAME CHANGING. IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S PART OF THE ORGANIZATION바카라 게임 웹사이트�S 2700 BED SHELTER SYSTEM, FILLED THROUGH OUTREACH TO THE COUNTY바카라 게임 웹사이트�S 76,000 HOMELESS, TINY HOME COMMUNITIES, INTERIM HOUSING SHELTERS. ALL OF THESE INITIATIVES HAVE BEEN BRILLIANT BECAUSE THEY바카라 게임 웹사이트�VE BROUGHT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OFF THE STREET. IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S ABOUT 9500 PEOPLE THAT THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES ARE NOW INSIDE THEIR BUILT ON CITY PROPERTY, PARTIALLY FUNDED BY THE CITY AND PRIVATE DONORS, AND ASSEMBLED QUICKLY WITH FLAT PACK PREFAB PARTS. LAST TEN YEARS HAVE BEEN ON THE STREET LIKE EIGHT OF THOSE TEN YEARS. BUT BEYOND SHELTERING PEOPLE, THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO STRENGTHEN THE HUMAN. I바카라 게임 웹사이트�M TRYING TO GET CLEAN OFF OF PRIMARILY OPIATES BECAUSE THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S THE HARD ONE, AND I바카라 게임 웹사이트�M TAKING STEPS. I바카라 게임 웹사이트�M PRETTY EXCITED BECAUSE FROM WHERE I WAS TO NOW IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE. YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE GOING TO HAVE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT, YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE GOING TO HAVE ADDICTION SUPPORT. YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE GOING TO GET HOUSING NAVIGATION, WHICH IS KEY. IF WE DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T HAVE THESE LIFE CHANGING WRAPAROUND SERVICES, ALL WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�D EVER DO HERE IS WAREHOUSE PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMELESSNESS, IN THEIR ADDICTION. OH, I WANT TO DO THAT. COMING IN HERE. WE ALLOW THEM TO. HEY, WOULD YOU LIKE A SHOWER? WOULD YOU LIKE A MEAL BEFORE WE START DOING ALL THAT INTAKE STUFF LIKE SAVE THAT FOR LATER. THE TREBEK CENTER, ONE OF THE MISSION바카라 게임 웹사이트�S 24 SHELTER SITES, IS A CONVERTED SKATING RINK PROGRAM OFFICER LAURA HARWOOD WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED AT A YOUNG AGE AND HAS LIVED THROUGH TRAUMA SIMILAR TO THE PEOPLE SHELTERED HERE. NOW, BY THE TIME THAT YOU END UP USING DRUGS FOR 22 YEARS, END UP LIVING ON THE STREET IN AND OUT OF PRISON, YOU GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU DO DEVELOP SEVERE MENTAL HEALTH. HOPE CREATED ITS OWN PRIVATE MENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT WITH CLINICIANS AND CASE MANAGERS AT EVERY SITE. HARWOOD ALSO HIRES STAFF FROM PEOPLE THEY바카라 게임 웹사이트�VE HELPED. I바카라 게임 웹사이트�M ALL FOR LIVED EXPERIENCE. IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY IN THE SHELTER LIKE A PEER SUPPORT SPECIALIST THAT HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT, YOU KNOW EACH OTHER AUTOMATICALLY. THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE BECAUSE YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE BUILDING RAPPORT AND THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S THE MOST IMPORTANT. VAN CLEVE ESTIMATES 80% OF THEIR CLIENTS HAVE A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE, 30% ARE SEVERE. WHILE THEY STABILIZE THESE RESIDENTS, HE SAYS THE INSTABILITY OF MENTAL HEALTH FUNDING CREATES A MASSIVE GAP IN SERVICES. HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD NEED? 5 TO $10 MILLION ANNUALLY, BECAUSE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AREN바카라 게임 웹사이트�T CHEAP. I바카라 게임 웹사이트�VE NEVER BEEN A WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN BEATEN AND RAPED ON THE STREET. I DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T KNOW HOW MANY, HOW MANY TIMES SHE NEEDS TO SIT WITH THE CLINICIAN, A THERAPIST, TO WORK THROUGH THAT SORT OF TRAUMA. BUT I KNOW IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S GOING TO TAKE A LOT. AND IF WE WERE TO INVEST THAT SORT OF MONEY, I GUARANTEE YOU IT WOULD BE CHEAPER FOR SOCIETY. RATHER THAN RELY ON OVERBURDENED COUNTY SERVICES. THE MISSION HAS TO SEPARATELY RAISE THE FUNDS FOR ITS OWN MENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT. THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S NOT SOMETHING WE CAN INCLUDE IN OUR BUDGET TO FUND. YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE WORRIED ABOUT THE FUNDING, AREN바카라 게임 웹사이트�T YOU? YEAH, YEAH. IF I DIDN바카라 게임 웹사이트�T GET THOSE SERVICES, I WOULDN바카라 게임 웹사이트�T BE HERE. PEOPLE ARE HURTING AND SUFFERING, AND IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S SUPER IMPORTANT TO INCLUDE THESE SERVICES AND SHELTERS, GETTING THEM HERE AND OFF THE STREET IS THE FIRST STEP. GETTING THE SERVICES THEY NEED TO THRIVE AND TO GET HOUSED AS BEAUTIFUL. AND I SEE IT HAPPEN. TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH CONCERNS, YOUR DISABILITY. WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE TRYING TO FIGHT A WILDFIRE WITH A GARDEN HOSE AND IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S GOOD. IT바카라 게임 웹사이트�S GOING TO PUT OUT SOME OF THE FIRE. BUT IF WE WANT TO BE WHO WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE MEANT TO BE, WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE GOING TO NEED SOMETHING BIGGER. IN
