I'M NOT SURE.

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE BOOK THAT A SOUP KITCHEN.

THE TRUCK LOADED AND MOVED BACK.

YOU CAN EITHER COME INTO THIS GATE OR THE CYPRESS GATE PEOPLE.

ON THE STREETS AND THIS WAS CHANGED NOW.

I ASKED THE FIRST I THINK WE BEAT THAT DATE WAS I LOG OUT OF THE BILL? I WAS WE'RE NOT THERE.

ACCORDING TO

[00:25:06]

UM, WITHIN UM, IT'S, IT'S HARD FOR ME.

I HATE BEING ON ONE SIDE, UM, ISSUES.

THAT MEAN A GREAT DEAL TO ME.

I SPEAK FOR ALL THESE THAT SAY THAT MANY OF MY FRIENDS OUT HERE.

WELL, HERE ON MY HAND, HE SAID,

[00:30:14]

I DON'T WANT TO SEE MY CHURCH AND THREATENED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

JUST IMAGINE ALL PROJECTING FEARS.

I WAS SITTING IN THE DOOR SCREEN.

I HEARD IT.

SO I DROPPED OFF THAT BAT STEPS WITH A HAND ON MY HEAD, MY SCREEN DOOR, I HAD TO USE YOUR TELEPHONE.

SHE SAID, I'M FROM VIRGINIA BEACH.

I JUST GOT THIS PERSON.

I HAVEN'T GOT A SITUATED YET.

I JUST GOT A TOWN.

I'M STAYING HOME TO SHIELD.

I SAID, I CANNOT LET YOU, BUT IF YOU WOULD GIVE ME THE CAR, WHICH WAS PARKED CURB JUST 20 MONTHS WHERE I WAS STANDING, SHE WAS STANDING AND THE TRUNK WAS THE FIRST THING HE SAID, OH, I JUST CAME BACK FROM THE GROCERY STORE.

OH, I DIDN'T FINISH BRINGING IT IN WITH HER.

I OPENED THE DOOR.

I SAID, EXCUSE ME, THINGS IN THE CAR.

AND SHE SAID AND EVERY WEEK SHE WAS ASKING QUESTIONS, ARE YOU CARRYING GROCERIES? I TRIED, I WAS TRYING TO PUT IN THE REFRIGERATOR AND SHE CONTINUED HER QUESTIONS.

NO, SHE HAD BROUGHT THE GROCERIES.

SO I OFFERED HER APPLE JUICE, WHICH SHE ACCEPTED QUESTIONS, DEMANDING PERSONAL ITEMS, REPEATING HER PLACE.

READY TO WALK THE GUN IN MY HOUSE.

SHE SAID TO TAKE ME TO PATCH YOU, TO ASK YOU TO TAKE HER, TO PACK THE CAR AND THE OFFER DID TAKE HER TO THE SHELTER, BUT SHE SAID SHE COULDN'T GET INTO, BECAUSE IT WAS TO HER.

SHE ASKED HER

[00:35:02]

EAST FRONT STREET AND DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE HOUSE OF A FRIEND AND I CALLED THE POLICE.

SO THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEND SOMEBODY DOWN WITH THE VERY NEXT NIGHT WALK WITH THE DOORS OPEN.

AND SO, WITHOUT TRYING TO REACH ME AND THIS MAN SAID PERMISSION TO STEP INTO THE BLIND, UM, SAID, I NEED SOME MONEY.

HE SAID AND PERHAPS IT WAS .

I SAID, LET ME JUST, AND I WOULD SAY TO PRETEST THIS THE, ANY WAY I GAVE HIM AND HE NO PROBLEM.

AND I TOLD HIM, IT'S NOT THE MONEY YOU CAN'T.

IT FELT REALLY GOOD.

WHEN HE CAME DOWN LATER, HE WANTED SOME MORE, BECAUSE YOU NEEDED TO GO DOWN THE STREET AND I'M GOING TO THINK HOW Y'ALL HELP THAT SITUATION.

BUT THEY TOOK HIM TO THE STREET.

I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE HIM OR HER, I GUESS I THOUGHT I HAD BUT SO HE REACHED IN

[00:40:02]

AND HE TOLD ME NOT TO GO ANY FURTHER.

THAT CLEAR THAT A LOT.

MY HOUSE.

AND I WAS FRIENDS WITH THIS GUY.

THEY SAY, HE SAY, YOU CAN'T SAY, I MEAN, NOBODY, I LOVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT I JUST THINK WHAT WE'RE HERE TO SAY IS DON'T GET OFFENDED.

I'M THINKING FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE HOMELESS SHELTER, THEY DON'T NEED TO BE IN AN AREA WITH THE PROBLEMS, YOU KNOW, BACK IN MY AND THAT SHE WANTED US TO DISCUSS .

SHE ASKED, SHE SAID, .

SHE SAID THEY'RE 98%.

AND THEN SHE WENT ON TO SAY WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY MY HOUSE? AND SHE SAID, I CAN ASK HER IF SHE'LL, BUT THAT WAS HER.

THAT'S HOW SHE CARRIED HER.

[00:45:04]

THINK IT'S TOO LATE TO GET UP HERE.

AND UM, UM, AND UM, I SAID, UM, APPROPRIATELY SUBSTANTIATE ANY OF THAT.

, , , , UH, SUPPORT SENATE, AND THAT UTILITIES FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE HOMELESS AND MENTAL ILLNESS OR, UM, OR TALKING ABOUT THEMSELVES.

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT FROM MY EXPERIENCE, MY POSSESSIONS AND THE NUMBER TWO YEARS, PROBABLY, UH, HALF THE PEOPLE WE

[00:50:01]

HAVE IN OUR SHELTER, UH, HAVE SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

UH, THE OTHER DIVIDE BETWEEN EITHER JUST, UH, HAVING A YOUNG GIRL, 30 YEARS OLD AND TO CHECK AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE FOLLOWING THEIR KNEES, PAY THEIR, AND SHE'S NEVER HAD ONE PROBLEM WITH ANY PERSON.

AND, UH, THEY'RE NOT THAT FAR PEOPLE, UH, ARE PEOPLE.

UH, MOST OF THEM ARE COMING FROM THE MS CENTER, UH, GET IN MY PROGRAM IN THE GRADE TO THE END TRIGGER WITHIN TWO TO THREE MONTHS, YOU CAN INCREASE THE, OR REMAIN CALM AND WAS GENERALLY GETTING A JOB.

AND THEY HAD TO MAINTAIN THAT JOB AS THEY INCREASE THEIR INCOME, THEIR MORE ABOUT THEIR UTILITIES UNTIL THEY PAY.

AND THEN IT GOES INTO THEIR PROGRAM OR ANYBODY CAN SIT BACK.

UH, THEY ALL HAVE, UH, IN HER DIFFERENT THERE'S DIFFERENT.

SO BASICALLY THEY'RE SAYING, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE PROGRAM OR TO THEMSELVES AND CRACKERS, AND WE CAN FIND OUT THE SHELL.

AND I JUST, I KNOW THAT THE RIVERSIDE, UH, PROBLEMS WITH PEOPLE , UH, AND, UM, DELAYS.

I MEAN, I'M SORRY, I JUST WANT TO SAY, UH AND THEY HAVE THE COMMUNITY ANYWAY, THIS ERA, UH, PEOPLE FROM, UH, FROM, UH, WHERE WE HAD TO GO TO THE NORTH SEATTLE CRABS AND THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO GET IN THERE.

AND SO THEY HADN'T NOTICED, I'VE SEEN, AND THERE'S A VERY HIGH POWER OF ATTORNEY TO, THROUGH THE CRASH.

AND HE, HE LOST, HE WAS DOWN AND OUT AND SLEEPING IN THE STORE BEFORE, UH, HE CAME THROUGH THE SHELTER AND HE'S NOW, UH, OUT AT BARK AND A FULL-TIME JOB AND LIKE WASHING CAR.

IT'S VERY CONVENIENT FOR SOMEONE WHO'S, UH, HE'S TRYING TO GET BACK

[00:55:01]

TO THAT'S PURPOSE, A LITTLE BIT BOISTEROUS OR DEMANDING ABOUT THINGS, BUT ALL IN ALL PEOPLE BEEN VERY APPRECIATIVE OF OUR EFFORTS AND PARKS AND, UH, WELL, WE HAD, BEFORE THEY COME, THEY COME BACK OR THEY CAN COME BACK AND WE HAVE ANOTHER CAR YEAH.

UH, AND SHE SAYS WHAT TO USE .

SO I TOLD HER , UH, WHICH I DID, AND I MET, UH, UH, WASTED, UH, TO, UH, TO BE AT LEAST CHILDREN SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN ON THAT STREET, ONE OR TWO KIDS ACROSS THE STREET, CLOSE TO THE, UH, SCHOOL.

STRANGE.

PEOPLE WALKED TO THE AND HE ALSO HAD TO THE KID TO GET TO ,

[01:00:04]

UH, I REALLY DON'T LIKE THIS BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE KID KIDS, BUT I FEEL THAT AT THAT POINT, MY DEEP CONCERN , UM, , UH, DEPRESSED.

PEOPLE CAN ALSO BE HARMFUL BECAUSE THEY'RE DEPRESSED AND YES, THIS WHERE PEOPLE COME TO THE AREA AND I SPOKE WITH JUMPING PROBATION OFFICER WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, NO SHELTER, SHELTER, GREAT IDEA.

TO HAVE A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO GO TO THIS TYPE OF SECURITY ISSUE, A SAFETY ISSUE.

UM, ,

[01:05:25]

COMING BACK.

PASTOR, PASTOR ACTIVE IN YEARS AND YEARS AND A THERAPIST I HAD A MANAGER AT THE HOMELESS SHELTER AND I EAT MY EXPERIENCE.

THE PEOPLE THAT WE MINISTER THROUGH, THE SHELTER, SOUP, KITCHEN DOGS, THEY HAVE INSURANCE SOCIETY.

THEY SEE PEOPLE, SOMEONE TO TAKE SOME TIME TO, UH, SHOWED THEM SOME TIMES.

AND I FOUND NO BECAUSE THEY RESPECT THE, UH, SHARE WITH THEM IN THE SHELTER, IN THE HOME CHURCHES WORK, UH, RELIGIOUS, UH, UH, AND, UH, THE MAYOR BRING BACK , UH, MINISTRIES, UH, BANNER AND CITIZENS AND COMMUNITY.

AND WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT COME THROUGH THE SHELTERS, UH, JOBS ARE SO MUCH LESS TO KNOW THAT YOU

[01:10:05]

DID A PIECE IN THE SEVERE TO MYSELF.

THAT'LL BE ALL.

CALLED .

UH UM, AND, UH, , DOUBLE THE AREA.

WE JOINED THE CHURCH.

WE SIT DOWN, WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

WE'RE GOING TO LIVE IN THAT HOUSE.

WE'RE TOO OLD TO CLIMB THE STAIRS.

AND WE LOCKED UP AND WITH MEDICINE AND WORK, ONCE WE CALL AN UNCLE CALL THE POLICE AND HE GETS THE HELP NEEDS TO BE OKAY.

I HAVE ANOTHER POINT SIDE.

HE COMES WITH THIS.

[01:15:01]

I JUST GOT RID OF TWO SISTERS THAT WERE RUNNING A COCAINE OPERATION NEXT DOOR.

AND THAT .

I GOT NOW HALF AND HALF.

IT WAS OVER RESUME.

AND I HAVE NOT GIVEN THE OTHER PERSON WHO HAS MOVED SINCE THAT DAY.

BUT IN HERE, THIS IS A WORKING CLASS NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S BEEN A BACK AND I HAVE WONDERFUL NEIGHBORS.

WE TREAT, WE TREAT EACH OTHER LIKE THAT.

WE WANT TO PUT A MILLION DOLLAR HOMELESS COPS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS BAD WHEN DRUGS THAT'S AGONY, YOUNG CHILDREN COMING IN WITH SCRAPING, MAKING A MESS OUT THERE.

WE ALREADY HAVE A HALFWAY HOUSE.

AND I'M STILL NOT SURE PEOPLE .

YEAH.

AND TRUST ME WHEN YOU'RE OUTSIDE WITH YOUR NOTES AND YOUR MOM AND THAT'S, I CAN MAKE RCS FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE.

AND THEY HAVE A SYSTEM THAT WORKS.

IF IT'S NOT BROKE, DON'T FIX IT.

SO NOW WE'VE GOT ANOTHER 60,005 AND A HALF BACK BECAUSE , I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING.

AND THE FACT IS YOUR SECOND.

WHERE THERE ARE NO JOBS.

IT'S NOT CLOSE TO SOCIAL.

IT'S NOT CLOSE TO THE UNEMPLOYED.

IT'S NOT CLOSE, CLOSE TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

HOW MUCH MORE CAN MINE AT THIS POINT.

AT HOMELESSNESS.

JUST ADDRESS STATISTICS.

IMAGINE .

[01:20:07]

WHEN IT COMES TO THE SAFETY OF NEIGHBORHOODS, PASSAGE AREAS MUST BE CONFIRMED.

THE SHELTER IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE 24 HOUR OPERATE.

THE TRANSPORTATION IS A PROBLEM.

HOW ARE THEY GOING TO GET NEIGHBORS? EVEN IF THEY DON'T HAVE A JOB IN COLD DAYLIGHT, CRANKY.

THE SUITCASE DOES NOT HURT THE WEAKNESS THAT MONEY MAY OR MAY NOT TAKE FOR ABOUT HOW WOULD THEY GET TO ANY OF THAT? WHAT BATHROOMS IS ALL BUILT WITH THEM.

THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WILL IMPACT YOUR NEIGHBOR IN A DAY.

A DAY, TWO MONTHS AGO, THERE ARE SAFETY ISSUES WHERE IF THERE ARE NOT SAFETY ISSUES IN REAL ESTATE AREA REPEATED THAT SAME TONIGHT.

I ASKED WHY THE NEIGHBORS POSSIBLY DECREASE THE POTENTIAL USERS, PEOPLE LOOKING FOR LEEWAY.

I ASKED HIM WE KEEP DOING RIGHT YESTERDAY.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY I THINK JUST BEING ABLE TO SAY ALL THE SHELTER PROBLEM RIGHT NOW, ANYBODY ELSE SAY LIKE THIS HERE, RIGHT NEXT TO THE BUS STATION, UH, GOT THE PHOENIX HOUSE.

YOU GOT THE SOUP KITCHEN FACILITIES THAT ARE RIGHT NEXT, RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

IF YOU RAISED YOUR HAND.

OKAY.

SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

OKAY.

SO THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED.

AND I TALKED TO MY BROTHER.

THIS WAS A CHRISTMAS VACATION.

OKAY.

SHE WAS SPENDING CHRISTMAS WITH HER.

WAS IN THE HOUSE, ON THE HOUSE.

IF YOU GOT KIDS WE DIDN'T EXPECT THAT NOBODY.

HE WOKE UP THE DOOR.

I WAS GONE LATER.

PERSONNEL WAS AT THE DOOR.

OKAY.

THIS IS THE BUS STATION.

IT JUST CAME.

IT WAS JUST A STATION.

YOU MADE A MISTAKE.

YOU KNOW

[01:25:06]

AT THAT TIME, I DIDN'T REALIZE ANYTHING, BUT A FEW MINUTES LATER HE'D HAD A HEART PROBLEM.

FROM THAT DAY, THEY PASS PASSING OUT CHURCH.

UH, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED.

YES.

SO THE PERCEPTION, YOU MENTIONED THE FACT THAT SOMEBODY CAME TO THE DOOR AND CAME AND SHE TOLD ME, OKAY, I'M NOT A NERVOUS PERSON.

I'M NOT, BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO GET THAT.

NOW HERE, WE'VE GOT SOMETHING ELSE BEING PLACED, LIKE RIGHT NEXT DOOR, RIGHT IN THE BACK.

AND YOU SAID, WHEN YOU GOT UPSET, THEY HAD A MEETING, UH, MR. GEORGE BACKYARD.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO SAY.

SAFETY.

LIKE THIS AND THAT'S THE SAME THING THAT BUT I HEARD HER, BUT AND JASON

[01:30:14]

YOU CAN READ EACH OPERATION.

[01:35:11]

OFFICER.

HE TOLD ME WELL, THE AND MICHELLE ON THE STREETS AFTER AND ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS TOLD ME THAT CURIOUS ABOUT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE WOULD BE AND SHE COULD NOT STAY IN SHORT .

THESE ARE NOT

I DO NOT BE RELEVANT PROPERTIES.

CONTINUE TO PAY BEFORE THIS , UH, BASED ON WHAT I HAVE AND HE HAD AN THE HOUSE CONSTRUCTION FOR HOUSE.

IT WAS THERE CONTEMPORARY THE HOUSE BASED ON THE CONSTRUCTION.
