- The State-sanctioned Esperanza community is located off U.S. 183 near Ben White Boulevard in southeast Austin. KVUE's Molly Oak took us back inside to see what's changed and what's working since it opened.

At least there's a group doing something positive for people.
Some people just need a little help.
Great story 💕
You mean, if you actually HELP people to get on their feet, they can succeed? Here's an idea, how about helping people BEFORE they get to this level? Maybe then, they won't need so much help.
@@dianetigert1310 Ha! I'm not a "Prominent Business Owner". No one "elected" wants to hear ME. I can't fund their campaigns.
Can’t help people who don’t ask for it. Also, you should always be calling or emailing your reps from city council to US senator. THEY may not hear you but your contact is logged so THEY do know how their constituents feel eventually. Problem is people are being elected over and over who are not listening to what the majority of their constituents want. The more THEY hear from us collectively the better.
@@dianetigert1310 Being thrown away stops when you decide that you are NOT an item to throw away. And this often begins with changing the people you hang with. Not saying be Carol Churchlady or Susan Sorority or Sandra Soccer Mom, but be around those that uplift and not tear down. It makes a huge difference. Best of luck to you Friend.
if it works, why is "hippe" still there?
Maybe he likes the “lifestyle”?
Making it work doesn't mean everyone comes in changes completely into a different life, some of these people have disabilities and PTSD, sometimes working means being safe, clean, off the street... success for some is just survival without criminal acts.
He’s projecting what people want to hear…Sounds ‘Rosy’ doesn’t it, l’m sure the majority of homeless are never going to willingly leave that lifestyle.
At least it's organized and allows for a private shelter.
P 1 of 3* Cities can eliminate homeless tent cities by replacing them with *homeless-communities* using _Pallet Shelter's_ existing *homeless shelter village components.* The _Community Room_ sells for $37,000 and serves as a shared laundry room, restaurant, and addiction services center. The _Bathroom_ cost $35,000 and the _Services Office_ costs $9,000. So for only $81,000 a city can establish a homeless village.
P *2 of 3* Cities are spending millions of dollars to open and run homeless bed shelters; that the homeless reject due to the many restrictions and lack of security. _Pallet Shelter's_ two person _Shelter 64_ cost only $7,000 and provides a dignified, secure sleeping home. So for only $781,000 a city can establish and run a *Homeless Shelter Village* with 100 shelters.
*Homeless 1 of 2.* The $7,000 modest two bed *Shelter 64* or $9,500 four bed *Shelter 100* from _Pallet Shelter_ built on a trailer so that it can be moved to evade severe weather events. Is combined with the yet to be created components: Bathroom and Laundry Pod for $21,000 and the Kitchen Pod for $14,000.
Austin has huge abandoned buildings that would easily accommodate every homeless person...however the government wants mr musk to bring Twitter here instead
*3 of 3* B Their rent money goes to pay for the one large free meal provided per day, in the community room,
F of Parts A-F The homeless-shelters are powered and heated with butane and solar-panels, depending on how well the infrastructure held up, which are integrated into the construction of the *temporary* _homeless-shelters._ Which are a dry, clean place to sleep, and store their stuff. People from the city drive out to the homeless-communities to pick up food bank food; because that is where the food banks and free-ice machines are located.
In feet how thick is the Earth's atmosphere that humans can breathe comfortably in?
*3 of 3* B The _Shelter 100_ is a $9,500 shelter that is climate controlled, built in one hour, is 100 sq. ft., and uses a folding bunk system to house up to four beds. *_Pallet Shelter's_* private sleeping cabins offer *security* and durability.
E of Parts A-F In the on-site factories the homeless population's workforce is used to make more homeless shelters from plastic-waste taken from the oceans and government subsidized Styrofoam; and electric car conversion kits which cost only $3,600 because _The Defense Production Act_ was invoked. _Which does not include the cost of batteries and installation._
PAR
D With subsidized for the homeless electric-cargo-bikes at all bus stops from companies like: _Wheels, Lime, Link, and Veo_ in the city and at the homeless encampment; so the working homeless can get to work. *Which are large 1,000 people disaster relief centers.* With trucked in water. Shared laundry, toilet, cooking, and shower-facilities. With restaurants, post office, and stores; just like a large campground.

Thank you for helping people in need. Be patient being homeless can be hard and exhausting. Be kind y'all 🤠🦋🎶💙
P Corporations and hedge funds must pay their fair share of taxes.
Unfortunately for millions of Americans in order to survive, will have to lower their standard of living dramatically and live in modest accommodations. Such as _Pallet Shelter's_ *Shelter 64* which sleeps two in a private cabin. Placed in combination with _Pallet Shelter's_ other components: Community Room, Bathroom, and Services Office; to form an entire *Homeless Shelter Village.* Where rent is 10% of net income for the 2 person shelter and 20% for the four person shelter. Which goes to providing one free meal a day and child care so that the working poor can go to work: in the Community Room.
*3 of 3* A Those with income pay 10% of their net income to the homeless-community for their 2 person _Shelter 64_ and 20% of their net income for the 4 person _Shelter 100._
Quit feeding the Homeless to the Aliens
If your homeless & not from Texas dont stay.not worth it.
Most homeless choose their lifestyle No matter how much money you throw at them, they will always choose not to work and live on the street.
based on what evidence ?
Los Angeles just approved universal basic income roll out. First it will be women. Maybe Austin could provide Greyhound bus tickets...
Marin County next to San Francisco did too but only for "people of color."
If you're White you don't get it.
@@markroberts8416 you are mistaken ... race baiting is deplorable..
*Homeless 2 of 2.* All built on trailers so they can be quickly moved out of harms way. To provide affordable housing for those displaced by increasing rents caused by catastrophic-runaway-anthropogenic-global-warming; for $42,000. Conventional homes that will be washed away again should not be built in these flood, fire, tornado, and hurricane ravaged areas.
*Paragraph 4 of 4.* 89 million Americans is 27% of the *working* population! Or a $50,000 a year stipend for 40 million American families of 4 making less than $15 an hour; *so that they are NOT made permanently homeless.* Amen.
P *More people should offer their solutions; rather then their complaints.* _Christian charity and kindness ends procrastination._ The food markets throw out, like fried chicken thrown out every 4 hours, should first be put out on high, covered-trays for those making only $11 an hour and working part-time with no healthcare benefits.
P A of Parts A-F *Due to the destruction of housing* caused by catastrophic-runaway-anthropogenic-global-warming [CRAGW] extreme weather events; there are housing shortages all over America which *is causing rent increases; and even more homelessness!* The FEMA operated homeless-communities do not require residents to check out, there is no sign-in and sign-out issues as they are long-term shelters; which provide the privacy of individual living spaces. Where the shelter residents can fell safe from the other camp residences. *Which removes many of the objections those homeless living in tents who refuse to use city established homeless-shelters; have voiced.*
*Section 2 of 2* The _Shelter 64's_ insulated walls, heat, and air-conditioning provide personal climate control; and electricity powers the interior lights and outlets for personal device charging. Spacious with 9-foot vaulted ceilings. Providing these shelters and an $1,800 a month minimum income, to those who have lost everything, is the *Christian* thing to do. *C l i c k* on _Pallet Shelter's_ *Build a Shelter Village* to see all the existing components to, in one day, create a homeless village for 1,000 families displaced by extreme weather events. Amen.
*Is the evidence of extinction-global-warming all around it right now?* _Which is creating housing shortages?_ *Which is causing 100% rent increases?* _Which is causing the increased number of homeless people; yes or no?_
P B of Parts A-F The B!den administration has proposed *Christian, compassionate,* homeless solutions *but Republicans* do not want the FEMA homeless encampments within their cities; which *have the highest number of homeless families.* The solution is FEMA coordinated homeless communities a 30 minute bus ride, 24/7, every 20 minutes, from the FEMA established homeless shelters; to the city. *Established on land made vacant due to global-warming extreme weather events; that no one should rebuild on.*
P
Future. Smoke. Houses. And. Mini. Labs.make. Room. For. Migrant. Hordes. Camp. Grounds.
P Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Deny instincts to be cruel. Think before you speak and choose to be kind. Choose to be charitable. *Know there is a Holy Trinity. So be brave. Have faith. Be humble.* Find the courage to grasp a *real-man's* first obligation; to protect his family and the entire planet from being injured and killed; due to the bottomless greed of Satan's minions. Amen.
It's hard to help when most do not want someone to interfere with their way of life. The people need to create solutions not the government, it's not the governments job to help people, build the city, develop infrastructure, public buildings and help people personally development or etc they are not the behavioral police and consultants. This is what communities are for and they can create the solution. No one will save you in this world outside of communities. Most like to have a golden heart and pump the responsibility onto the government.
What exactly does the gov do then? Awe it is written in the declaration of independence read it for yourself..
C The FEMA homeless-communities / encampments are _close enough to the city to work;_ *and far enough away from the town to be out of sight and mind.* Established on land now vacant due to the extreme weather events which is creating the housing shortage. Due to the catastrophic-runaway-anthropogenic-global-warming *[CRAGW] that Republiguns deny exists.*

Better just stay there then
P The cause of food and -gasoline- deatholine inflation: Ruzzia's invasion of Ukraine.
This is how you know Homelessness isn't a real problem: There are no Rich homeless people. Capitalism has created homelessness. There are plenty of places for people to live. If anyone with money needed a place to live, they would be able to find one. But homeless people are poor, so they can't afford housing. So the problem isn't real in the same sense as a power outage, or something like that. Homeless people could be housed and fed, without a doubt. Our way of life just doesn't support them, because they are so disadvantaged that they can't function successfully as they are expected too. Regardless of the reasons for why a person is homeless, there is still plenty of places for them to live, which is why I consider it a manufactured problem. Its sort of like reducing the supply for a product to inflate its value, a manufactured or manipulated way to increase its value.
It's not Capitalism that's the problem. We could house homeless people in these cheap temporary structures all over Austin, but NIMBY prevents it.
@@sdrfz Well, if housing didn't require some sort of rent or mortgage, then all people would be able to find housing. If housing is available, but the cost prevents people from living in it, money is the problem. Homelessness is basically the best example of how easily capitalism can fail to meet the needs of society.
Most of the homeless housing projects are an eyesore, and I wouldn't want hobo camps in my backyard either. Just give them regular housing, like apartments.
@@rkm23456 You just helped confirm that NIMBY is the main obstacle to putting the homeless into these temporary structures. You should not need nice apartments to place people. Those temporary homes cost about 20 times less per person than the hotels that the City is purchasing for the homeless. The City budget can easily handle that.
Lol no skills
Just like you!!!
@@maruraba1478 you mean your family 👍😂
@@maruraba1478 keep living of them benefits druggie
YOUR state tax dollars hard at work taking care of those who wont take care of themselves.

I just pulled a volunteer stint at a homeless shelter. I'm 64 and everyone I worked with was my age or older. One woman had Parkinson's. Another had left a wife-beating husband -- every day she walks past the house she raised her children in. One man was a disabled veteran. Another was in a wheelchair. These people worked for years but they are not employable now. And with a studio apartment at $1500 in this town, they need almost $5,000 in deposit and first and last just to move in, nevermind deposits for utilities and etc. etc. Even if they could save this much, their social security or disability won't house AND feed AND buy them the meds they need every month. One thing they do have -- they're KIND to one-another. Which is more than you have, Sir. Kindness.
These people don't have anything to their name. You can't help yourself if you don't already have stable housing, food, the basics, mental health help, ect. Also the cost of housing, wage stagnation for decades, and increase in general cost of goods also plays a role here. Some of this requires investing tax payer dollars to fix.
@@marthas8108 none of these peoples family want them around?
