OPPORTUNITY VILLAGE: Tiny Houses as Homeless Shelters in Eugene, OR 

It's way safer as well. Statistics show that it is safer for a woman to live in a car than it is for her to go to a shelter, nevermind living on the street or in a tent ⛺ pitched who knows where. More and more senior citizens are finding themselves homeless simply because they can't afford the basic necessities yet they "make" too much money to get state assistance, or they don't make enough money to get help. They fall through the cracks in the very programs that were designed to help people like this. Trust me, going hungry most days and nights.....it is as bad for the sick & elderly as it is for kids.

It's from the night they tore old Dixie down. By the band.

I think concrete tents and dome homes would be better than those tiny homes.

" Getting only what you need and leave the rest for others." if all people did not have the desire of taking more than what they need, there is enough food to feed the world. there are cultural foods and widely grown foods like corn, beans, ...most staples. it seems most other resident of the village aren't as keen on growing stuff and keeping up appearances as is the old time resident .. i live in eugene and still there dozens and dozens of people on the street. i went to my dentist.. got there early before my appt and some of the mental health clients were getting antsy and one guy kept touching one of the women and he was just babbling. she couldn't keep him off of her. i had her scoot over and i sat down between them. he was babbling at me and touching me. i just looked at him and asked "REALLY!?" he muttered "okay i'll stop" clear as a bell. he started babbling again but didn't touch anyone. i think the guy was technically crazy , but used it as a repellant to use at will.

@@Spyrit2011 many , if not most of the tiny houses have lofts ..a bedroom..

LOL!!!!

I think the point of the video says that anybody can be homeless.

WTF David you fuckwad. UGH.

A degree means nothing nowadays and it goes to show anyone can end up in that s tips of situation.

@@ambriadaniels8786 ?

Janet Graham WAY better than nothing.

Its probably even better than a shelter cause everyone gets their own mini home

Best news for the poor and disenfranchised in decades. This grassroots movement should spread like wildfire! It is the only answer to the homeless CRISIS. SHELTERS SUCK! I refuse to be treated like living in a herd is ok.

Yes !

True just take the food and clothes?

It then again... idk, but yeah I agree why aren’t the churches doing for the homeless something like this They already have pantries and clothes, sometimes even showers.

But we need to understand why people dont use the services liken shelters, possible violence at the shelter, inability to stay clean, mental/physical trauma.

Yes , first we should help locally

Actually, I do believe that churches should help, but they don't need to give all their money for this project. Homeless people need health care and I do believe that churches can help with this and many other things too. Just like Mother Theresa did in her life time.

Implement it world wide !

Indeed they do. My boyfriend and I were homeless for a year and thanks to some great people we got a home of our own.

My view is that no where should need this. But I am glad that those who unfortunately have to use.have a safe place of shelter.because of rising cost of homes I can only see more unfortunate people in need of these type of places.which is wrong for a modern time .Maybe people with spare rooms in there large homes could open their doors for the less fortunate even if its just to share human company,A meal,a place to wash and importantly a place to feel safe and Human

@@Uniquettt That's all nice and everything but good luck finding a homeless person that isn't on drugs a thief or just crazy. These shelters are just temporary shacks cheaper than building and maintaining a facility for them to stay. The cheap way out. Detroit has a much better idea ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qY4s5T6cLSw.html

Cuz Warzecha has cough up the $2,000 of his wealth and has spread it around in his own town too! NOW, that's walking the walk! Thanks Warzecha, you're a great soul!!!!♥

They did and the city tore them down saying unsafe

@@ruthspence2865Heartless🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

LA needs to cut back on their free tuition to colleges and get a plan.

I have a feeling that if someone would come and tear down these LA officials homes down every day they wouldn't like it and they would do something to remedy the problem. Right ?

Lisa Cypert. Please DO more than taking a look, TAKE ACTION instead, volunteer, donate, promote this movement, PARTICIPATE... 🌷🌷🌷

Ive seen the same video. Its a shame that the city officials shut him down then stole his ideas

He wanted to put them on public places

THATS WHAT GOD WOULD WANTUS TO DO

Sometimes I feel that a lot of the people that can do something in this case don't because it doesn't put any money in their pockets. I know that political groups earn more $$$ than most of us Americans and they seem to have gotten to a place that they have forgotten that they are working for us. So I keep praying that God guides these people to do the right thing. And may God Bless and help the people that can make a difference do so,

@@martiejohnson4387 Very well said!!! 👍👍

Dutch Courage I seen what they did to the Elvis guy. That sucked they refuse to let him do what he was doing.

I agree with you 100%!

Mindsets in Oregon is Extremely different from those in california... we smoke weed here so we are more groovy, mellowed and positive of life and earth’s inhabitants.

Yes ! A home for all the poor and needy ! A proper home for the disabled !🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡

Good Human

From wer r u maam??u look gre8 and pretty

How about you volunteer your wealth to purchase the material, comrade!

I wish there was the same thing here. I'm facing homelessness soon and I am terrified despite having my ESA with me.

No it's not. This is for the people who with a *small* amount of help are able to change situations. It still leaves the chronically homeless, and those who are travelers, out of the program. I have yet to hear of any that address these real people and the supports they need. =(

For everyone ! The abandoned, the homeless, the helpless, the orphans

EXACTLY RIGHT! !!! WE NEED TO DO THIS. 👍👍👍🌷🌷

It is one earthquake away, or one expensive health crisis.

This shows free college for all isn’t the answer. Give free trade schools so there is a market for them.

Yes! Truth ! Soldier on until your find answers and realistic practical solutions ! And a place to live !

He was a sweetheart. -RR

@@RespectfulRevolution Is he okay?

Rita has done 100 of them for the Marxist utopia, Thanks Rita, you're a great soul!

Thank you Annette! God bless

I agree with you.

yep, so true. That's why communal style living arrangements like that usually fail, or only one or two people do the job and the rest freeload. I also wonder about this guy's story....he looks like he's been living rough for awhile. I suspect there's more to his story than meets the eye.

I mean it's hard enough having a roommate. Imagine having 30.

I am sure there are a few Billionaires that do , but we never hear about it. If it weren't for the rich we wouldn't have jobs.

@@martiejohnson4387 Yes we mus thank massa.

I think the word is "tax" ;-)

Put simply, laws. Zoning laws, building and construction permitting laws, tax laws. I can confidently say that the units shown here would not pass a building inspection in my area due to weather, electrical, etc. This is the unintended consequences we all to often fail to recognize when these laws are implemented.

Your Leftist Marxist progressive cities and states should.

Because, they don't let their heart lead them to do the right thing.

@SCP 096 Not just the government is greedy but THE LOCALS, YOUR COMMUNITY, THE CITIZENS, ETC...

YES

Yes!! Compassion + Creativity!!!

Yes

Amen

Amen

Send her the video, Shaun! Actually this, and the video we produced on Emerald Village are examples of solutions being implemented by the same non profit, in conjunction with the city, etc.. in Eugene OR. We were impressed. Thanks for watching! -RR
