Phoenix area's homeless crisis is in full view at a large, vacant lot near 35th Avenue and Indian School Road, where a new homeless community popped up, in violation of the City Code. While we have since learned that people living in the area have left on their own accord, one question remains: How did it get to this point? FOX 10 Investigative Reporter Justin Lum has more.

Affordable housing. That is something I can't find. HUD housing is for people who have never broken the law or gone to prison your a felon and can't live in hud housing or any low-income housing. so the homeowner wants more for his property and makes your rent go up the employer goes out of business and you are laid off. and all of a sudden you are homeless. And I got a lot of kickbacks on my commits from people who believe this could not happen to them.

Cost a bout a 1/100 of what the city spends and it worked. And it provided about 7 jobs checking in and out people and enforcing the rules.

I was homeless in Phoenix a few years back. I went from being an apartment manager to homeless real fast. The owner sold the property and new owner gave me a month to get out. As the manager I got my rent, electric and gas plus $300.00 a month. Without a way I didnt have enought money for first and last. Got another job but was living on the street. It is hard to save up when you have to use checks to eat bathe and wash clothes, ect.. All while trying to save up. Ended up leaving on shuttle to my parents. I am in my fifties. Not a child. It was very difficult. Don't judge and say just get a job, it isn' t always about not having a job. The rents were raised sky high, the cost of living went up but the rate of minimum wage in Az, the Right to Work state has been slow and unlike other states they are not obligated to pay minimum wage and if you are in a spot, a job, good or bad wages, you take what you can get. While praying, hoping and trying for better. As for getting disability. It isn't easy to get. Sometimes it takes years to recieve. It isn' like applying for food stamps, which is a pain, but if your doctors dont write it in a way that social security understands you get denied and you have to get a lawyer. Please try to understand these people aren't all drug addicts and deadbeats nor are they people that over spent or mis manage funds but sometimes just people living on bare minimum just teying to make it.

If the city wanted to do something they need to build shelters where people can actually live and work. Shelters I'm told if you leave to go to work when you come back might not even find a bed, and there isn't anywhere to leave any personal belongings.

@MrDodger3222 Жыл бұрын

@@Mike-01234 But I'm sure most if not all shelters are full every night anyway in Phoenix like they are in other big cities. Shelters can't expand the max capacity because that would be violating fire codes so they have to turn people away if there's no space. The best way to end homelessness is to make rehabilitation mandatory for all homeless addicts and mentally ill, assign a case worker for everyone that's homeless so they will know why they are homeless and fix their problems. Housing first is a great way to end homelessness but it won't work without support services.

@@MrDodger3222 How do force someone to get off drugs. I know someone who mother spent over million dollars on several rehabs each time she got out went right back to drugs. It's a fantasy that you can make someone get off drugs. Not all are on drugs I know someone right now who is living a car and he never used drugs. He is disabled and was evicted on social security $1500 a month. You can't find anything for less then $1500 a month. This is why we see a spike in elderly people on the streets. He at least has a car and can sleep in it better then living under a bridge. Section 8 housing is 2-3 year wait they told him sleep in your car until something comes up. He has a dog can't take a dog to a shelter. He parks in walmart parking lots overnight along with lot of others who do the same then drives somewhere else during the day.

Yes, there are people in society who show compassion and for that i am very grateful but on the otherside of that coin are those who just do not care. Accuse you of being lazy, no good. You deserve to be where you are. I lost my third job now due to covid. Very well paying and I lost it due to medical issues that came from covid. I not only lost my job but my apartment as well. I am with family through the winter, I left the valley and came up north. The pain stays with you and never subsides. In the heat of the valley, living in my car, i would chase shade to protect myself from direct sunlight. There is no protection from the pain of homelessness, the guilt and shame placed on you by society.....i am tired of these tears

They will destroy any housing we put them in because unsheltered street homeless are fentanyl addicts. It is an extreme addiction with extreme anxieties and pain. We will never reduce street homelessness without reducing the amount of fentanyl and other nasty synthetic chemicals available on our streets. Make no mistake about this. Fentanyl and P2P based meth destroy humans mentally and physically beyond the point of repair very quickly. Other nasty chemicals are in street pills are: rat poison, horse tranquilizer, sedative benzo, wasp dope, and many others. Street homeless steal food from grocery stores unopposed. Police doesn't even show up for anything related to street homeless unless they spill blood, and employees are instructed to ignore store theft. They steal other items they can quickly sell for fentanyl. That stealing is called boosting. All money given to panhandlers goes for fentanyl pill popular blues.

What these people need is a personal home or apartment to start with and a program to get them working or lose the home or apartment so they are not just squatting for free. it's a fair exchange for shelter. Maybe they can even participate to build shelter for other homeless encampments.

There are waitlist for spots to rent. I was at Polk St and 25th Ave on the side of the road next to Jenna and her dogs. We were told we could rent spaces in a corner lot and then the Millionaire Christian owner came and gave us 1 day to get out. Who can find something in 1 day??? So Jenna and us went on the side of the road. That Christian man wasn't Christian he made it all way worse for us. If he was so Christian he could've made that whole lot into an RV Park but he didn't want to help just wanted to claim he's a good man use us to clean his property and throw us on the streets. The homeless get used because they are homeless. All I want is a place to park my RV WHERE I CAN KNOW IT WILL BE THERE SO I CAN GET A JOB AND NOT HAVE TO KEEP MOVING. JUST NEED A RV SPACE TO RENT!

I have traveled outside the US and noticed that other major cities do not allow homeless to pitch tents wherever they like. Other cities outside the U.S. generally seem to have evolved a practice where the homeless and non-homeless are segregated. Phoenix could copy and refine that approach and provide a separate, defined area of land, fence it off, and provide it with access to water, sewer, shade, electricity and other services. It could then require the homeless to live there where they could establish their tents and simple dwellings. In other words, create a ghetto for the homeless to go to. It seems like an obvious solution. Currently, the Phoenix homeless are creating unmanaged ghettos wherever they want on the streets and sidewalks and in front of people’s businesses. Every other major city in the world has a ghetto district so the homeless don’t have to pitch tents on the sidewalks and in front of businesses. Phoenix should manage the homeless problem by creating a designated homeless area.

@crazyralph6386 Жыл бұрын

Bingo! The pigs can’t even pick up after themselves, and then play the “there’s no jobs” victim card? The reason rent is high, is because these same people move in and destroy the place, leaving the tenant high and dry. I know this personally, as a few of our tenants are on the dole, and have ZERO pride or respect for the inside and outside of the apartment. They leave trash everywhere, and then call to bitch and complain about the rodent infestation? Even had the exterminator show up and sat them down explaining the cause and effect of not collecting their garbage for disposal every Tuesday??? After a week, they were back at it. Once they’re gone, it will be a total gut job, in which the rent will double so we don’t ever have to deal with these types again.

The problem here is GREED! You can't have empathy and compassion when greed runs the show! If we allow the corporate world to police itself we will never get our fair share! Greed has no end until it's all gone!

Disagree. When govt takes a third of your income (and more from businesses you have to buy products and services from) and gives it away to the war machine, subsidies, foreigners, then pockets the rest, it is obvious. The corporate world, while not very nice, at least produces something. Try starting a biz without getting raked over the coals of governmental red tape & ridiculous fees (especially in the big cities) - can't do it unless already rich. Far more the govt is to blame than businesses, especially here.

America needs to fix it's economy. Cost of living goes up while the value of the dollar goes down. Minimum wage was never enough for a great life, but in a lot of places today it's not enough to continue living.

Less landlords accepting Section 8 vouchers, the gentrification of older neighborhoods, the "don't build affordable housing in my backyard" attitude, private equity firms becoming landlords, & a cumbersome & convoluted bureaucracy has contributed to the scarcity of affordable housing.

I have been homeless niw since 2008. Personally I feel sorry for all of you who still have homes and apartments. You're all paying way too much money for a place to live. Even those if you who make 6 figure a year incomes are getting ripped off. And the answer isn't raising the minimum wage either. With median rents nationally over 2,000 a month homelessness is no longer a problem that having a job will solve. Everything is too damned expensive. Just eating lunch at McDonalds these days costs over 10 dollars. And the Democrats are very conveniently blaming on it

on Covid when its more to do with these artificially inflated minimum wages that are almost as high as what union jobs pay. I was a SAG extra in L.A. through most of the 1990's. It was a job that paid twice what the minimum wage non-union extras were making. Now non-union extras are making what used to be a union wage. And instead of making twice that amount union extras now make about 30 to 40 dollars a day more than the non-union. And for that priveledge they have to shell out hundreds of dollars to join the union and then pay dues that are hundreds of dollars a year minimum to boot.
