Women Scramble to Save Belongings from RV Homeless Sweep

Рет қаралды 66,275

Күн бұрын

The day after we interviewed Wendy about living homeless in her RV • The Real People Inside... , the RV encampment in Playa Del Ray was hit with a massive sweep. LAPD, along with LA Sanitation and Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), blocked off Jefferson Blvd and started to throw people's belongings away without providing any tangible support.
Homeless sweeps involve police officers forcing homeless individuals living in RVs and other vehicles to vacate their current location, often without providing them with an alternative place to stay. These sweeps are incredibly harmful and traumatic for those experiencing homelessness, as they are forced to leave their only shelter and possessions behind without knowing where they will sleep that night. Additionally, these sweeps make it even harder for service providers to reach and help these individuals, as they are constantly being displaced and forced to move.
Homeless sweeps do nothing to solve the underlying issue of homelessness. Instead of investing in long-term solutions, such as affordable housing and mental health services, these sweeps waste taxpayer money and cause unnecessary harm to vulnerable individuals. Homelessness is a complex issue that requires a multifaceted approach and cannot be solved through punitive measures. Rather than displacing homeless individuals, the city should work towards creating sustainable solutions that will provide them with the support and resources needed to rebuild their lives.

About Invisible People
There is a direct correlation between what the general public perceives about homelessness and how it affects policy change. Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, childhood trauma, lack of a living wage, or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness.
We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness.
This isn't just talk. Our groundbreaking educational content reaches millions of people every month. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you.
However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don't take action now.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.

I used to be homeless, and the worst thing to do is gathering stuff, hoarding stuff, you're in a position where you just shouldn't have stuff where it overwhelms you. Till you find a way out of homelessness, stay light, stay mobile, don't get weighed down with stuff.

Absolutely. We have a homeless encampment by the side the road in a very small community. People aren't completely heartless, but over the two years that it's been in there, more and more trash, totalled cars and car parts. It looks like a disaster. It's even started expanding onto the main roadway. Everyone I have talked to agrees if the site was cleaner and organgized they could accept it.

I agree with you and was thinking the same thing...i was going to comment then i saw yours and here i am replying. When you are living the nomadic lifestyle regardless of wether you were forced to or it is your choice, it makes sense to travel light for your own benefit. Apart from a matress and containers/bags to store clothes and food and toiletries you really shouldnt have big items that bog you down. Living in a tent (with no car): you need to be able to pack up your tent and have your sleeping bag and a big backpack to store your items. Living in a car: things should not be spilling out of your car...you should only keep what you can put away in your car. Same with RV; dont have stuff strewn all over the outside of your RV. If you keep your living area tidy and free of stuff and litter then you shouldnt have to deal with these sweeps throwing out your belongings. I have no idea why nomads would need half the stuff i saw there. I pray these people get housed afcourse but i also want them to think about how they can improve this situation here.

I believe the cities do these sweeps because of trash that keeps piling up and eventually becomes a health issue. The homeless seem to be blaming others dropping off trash but from what I've seen is, they collect too much junk in the 1st place, one example I see often is how many bike parts do you really need? Who knows, maybe their collecting it for scrap but to make it worthwhile, you need a decent truck to haul it to the scrap yard.

It's sad to see this stuff happening. It's scary to know it's becoming more common. I live in Canada and homeless population has gone up . I come from a middle class home now I live in low income housing and I see a lot of people dying from OD . I think we have such a drug problem as well as homeless problem because people are falling through the cracks. The stigma is soul strong. To survive and come out thriving it's hard to hear how people talk about the homeless. I used a woman's shelter twice. For long periods. I wouldn't of be where I am today if it wasn't for the shelter. But also it's a double edge knife. Because shelters started black listing people. Addicts particularly. Even though it's illegal to discriminate in a shelter and make a list of people who aren't allowed in

This breaks my heart. I'm currently living in my car and have been homeless about 7 months now. I just lost my job Wednesday. When your homeless without a job things are a lot darker. I'm trying to find another one but it doesn't happen overnight unfortunately. I work and pay taxes like everyone else. Not all homeless are unemployed and collecting any benefits. I don't even get food stamps and I ay child support for 2 children. Once I get a job again anyways. Prayers for all these poor homeless. I hope you can better yourself eventually. My state doesnr offer much for help to the homeless. Our only shelter locally is shut down for water damage. It's just sad. If you dont have friends or family to rely on for support and you become homeless then I romose I understand. That's my exact position. The other noght when a tornado touched down in muscle shoals Alabama all I could do was cower in my car and pray. It was terrifying and made me realize my insignificance. I'm sorry to all fellow homeless that are forced to start over repeatedly. I justnwish thibgs were easier. That getting help was easier to access. If I weren't starving myself I'd help u swear.

A lack of physical buildings to occupy isn't the problem. There's already more empty buildings than homeless people. They need to either simply be left alone if they're not causing damage to anything or one and or just time to get back on their feet so to speak. It's very true that a significant if not greater portion of homeless people are no different than any other "normal" hard working person who's just going through an overwhelming and often traumatic sequence of events in their life that they couldn't handle or keep up with. And with no support of family or friends, or perhaps stubborn pride that kept them from asking in the first place, sent them down a spiral of unstable living conditions that becomes very hard to pull up out of. It's a surprisingly complicated problem. Free living spaces do give some measure of help and i do reckon most people would be trying to get a job and than move out into their own home when they can. But the complexity of human psyche and structure of society make what may feel like a simple fix much less black and white than we want it to be.

@@BelleOfAmherst thanks. I was homeless myself for a couple years when i was younger and unfortunately it's one of those things where it can be next to impossible for people who haven't walked a mile in their shoes to understand. A lot of the people who say the classic "just get off your butt and get a job" aren't necessarily terrible people, they just only know what they know from their own life experiences and have luckily never had to try to put their life back together from such a tattered state. And to be honest what I've seen and experienced with solving the problem is not so much about a particular person, as you mentioned hopefully seeing this, being able to do something about it. But rather what helped me and millions more was the kindness of average and good hearted folk interacting with down and out people in their community's. As being isolated from the community was usually a significant factor in how they ended up there in the first place. You seem like genuinely gold hearted person. Don't be afraid of interacting with the homeless to whatever point you feel safe and comfortable and maybe you will help someone when they need (and wanted) to get back on their feet. ❤

Day labor jobs get paid each day. They take about 42% of your pay each day in a small state. Get paid by the week or two weeks. You wouldn't want to work for a pay by the day place! The company charges this fee because they have to cut a check each day. This is like buying furniture and paying by the week.

Again, why do these people choose to live like pigs? There is no reason it should take tractors and dump trucks to clear a small patch or roadway. I full time and boondock on city streets all the time, there is NEVER anything outside of my RV, literally NOTHING, and I have NEVER, NOT ONCE had a problem with police or being moved along! YOU HAVE MADE YOUR OWN PROBLEMS!!

They are homeless - THEY DO NOT HAVE TRASH PICKUP! You do. You take it for granted. Humans make trash. That’s guaranteed. Without trash pickup, it builds up. You don’t want to see the trash - THEN HELP SOLVE HOMELESSNESS

There was a lot of humanity given to them... unfortunately, this is just their job. I think we need to meet somewhere in the middle for this crisis... Playa Del Ray may not be the best place for encampments but I could tell you where swaths of land is inland, but there is this sense of "belonging" or just pure privilege that they belong there... as someone that's that 1 pay check away, I find it highly unfair that I have to work so hard for that view, follow rules, keep my home clean, stay out of trouble... but they got an RV parked beach front and deserve that... There's no right answer to this but give the workers some credit. They were very kind and respectful / plenty of heads up for these sweeps. It's all junk and trash they find from the trash anyways... We need to focus on the mental health part because that's the number one issue causing this. No one in their right mind wants to live like this, but there are resources out there and there needs to be a want to be helped as much as the want to help 😭 it's sad af but we can't even sit down and talk about anything in this country

If we get people into housing, that’s humanity, and it solves the crisis. I’ve only once seen people in a homeless camps have a entitlement to a location, but it was more about this groups ideology than that they were homeless. People park of camp where they feel safe and there are resources nearby. While I do understand and even empathize a little with you saying you have to work hard for that few and it feels unfair to have to see homeless people, I hope you at least try to understand these people have no place to go. Bass and Park are going a PR dance around homelessness. LA has always been a shits how, and if we don’t take tangible actions now to get people the housing and support they need, homeless numbers are going to continue to get worse. Whenever I visit Oakland, I see the future nightmare of America. There are RVs everywhere. We have to stop that from happening in every city.

Affordable housing is the answer and yet I never see any laws being proposed to stop the rampant greed of corporations who have been allowed to charge rents that are unattainable for 99 percent of the population. This is a result of greed pure and simple and lack of political representation for individuals. Only corporations are represented in our political offices and until that ends more people are going to become homeless and suffer.

I have been homeless for 13 years and have lived outside for over 5 years. The first 3 years we were left alone and we literally built a small village. We policed ourselves, we kept our area neat and clean, we even kept the surrounding area free of trash. Then came the bulldozers. 6 times within 2 years. We have all been scrambling ever since and we are all worse off. Our shelters are inadequate, winds are the worst! No one wants to invest much time and resources because everything we do will be bulldozed. Instead of coming together and being supportive of one another, finding work, staying clean, eating healthier, etc. We are all back to the daily scramble to meet basic needs. No movement forward. This is never going to be fixed. Homelessness is going to keep getting to be a bigger issue until we outnumber the housed. Then what? Probably should have thought about all that much sooner.

Help and support them we should! More should be done to house and help these people now! But make no mistake. Take note........ This is just the beginning of society's collapse. These people's situations will look tame in a few years to much of America not being able to afford food or housing for their family. Prep up hard...and fast...The total failure of things is almost here. Are you ready?

The US is one of the richest countries in the world, they should create & provide housing to these homeless people, not shelters. Nobody wants to live in shelters. They should have on the job trainings for them to learn skills so they can get jobs. Employers should hire them w/o hesitations on probations of course. Most of all, they should be taught the importance of birth controls. These homeless people are making the US becoming a 3rd world country.
