Woman Loses Everything in Los Angeles Homeless Sweep

  • While driving around the west side of Los Angeles, we came across a homeless woman moving all of her belongings to the sidewalk. We thought that maybe they were cleaning the area, but to our shock, LA Sanitation pulled up and started to load everything that this woman owned into a garbage truck. In the last three months, Holly has had all of her belongings taken eight times.
    Holly once had a great job, but after going through a divorce, her life snowballed into homelessness. Holly keeps applying for jobs, but no one wants to hire a homeless person.
    We all want clean streets. We all want homeless encampments gone. But homeless sweeps and the ongoing criminalization of homelessness only make homelessness worse. With homeless numbers growing, we need to get people off the streets into housing with the help they need. We cannot arrest our way out of homelessness. In each area, a homeless sweep displaces homeless people without providing them a place to go; in a day or two, tents and shacks return to that spot.
    Taxpayers pay over $70 million each year for the Los Angeles Police Department and LA Sanitation to displace homeless people under the guise of street cleaning. We all want clean streets, yet homeless sweeps only make homelessness worse! The only way to keep streets clean is to solve homelessness; however, LA's politicians continue to invest more in pushing homeless people out of sight than helping them. Homeless sweeps do nothing to help people, and they make homelessness worse.
    If you live in Los Angeles, here is a link for the City Council contact information broken down by district. Please reach out to your legislators to demand they stop the sweeps. lacity.gov/directory
    Nationally, please support Housing Not Handcuffs housingnothandcuffs.org
    We all must advocate for more housing and support services and stop homeless sweeps at the local level. At the same time, we must continue to pressure state and federal legislators. Your voice can help end homelessness. If we do not fix the affordable housing crisis, homelessness will worsen.
    Click here invisiblepeople.tv/getinvolved to tweet, email, call, or Facebook your federal and state legislators to tell them ending homelessness and creating more affordable housing is a priority to you.

    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.

    If they want to relocate people, that's one thing. But throwing their stuff out like it doesn't matter is so heartless and cruel. These people need help, not persecution. Why are we putting unimaginative sociopaths in charge of everything? Isn't there anybody with any ounce of decency and humanity in our government?

    I've been homeless for about five years now and have found the only way to keep anything is to live in the nastiest and most dangerous place I could find were even the cops are afraid to go. I built me a little fort in the middle of a nasty retention swamp filled with cottonmouths and the occasional alligator. Also covered in poison ivy and Brazilian pepper trees with foilage so thick you can't see more than a few feet while traveling through it. It beats being rolled by thugs or kicked around by cops though.

      The other day, some homeless man walked towards me to my table inside this burger place and asked me if I could buy him some food. I'm here trying to enjoy peacetime alone, then his smelly breathe and clothes all went towards me, I felt disgusted 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 and his stench landed on my food and my clothes, I was gonna take my leftovers home because I got full. He wanted it because he seen me not eating it and guess what? I got up and walked towards the garbage can and tossed it all in there. Then he tried to reach for my food In there but couldn't because of the garbage mess in there, yuck! 🤮🤮🤮🤮
      I can hear him talking crap on me and how disrespectful I was. So some dude there ended up buying that thing some food to eat, he ate it like an animal and it was pure disgusting that I felt uncomfortable around him and his buddies right outside the burger joint! I left in a hurry so he won't do anything to me or else...yeah, pretty much just messy and dirty looking. I didn't want to look at him or see him ever again in my life! That's how bad it got. Getting up in my business trying to snatch the leftovers I had. Imagine how it would of been if I just left it on the table. So I threw it away just to be an ass. Even his boy was spitting on people's cars right outside the building. Yuck as heck!! Toss em both out and the dude who helped them buy food 🗑🗑🗑🗑

    I work with, an around homeless every single day. I use to feel so bad for them. We have vouchers for them, we give clothes, food, gas, furniture and yes sometimes rent for hotels or electric bills. Thanksgiving baskets, Christmas toys and dinners. So all that being said, most are addicts, most will not go for employment because of drug test for the most part. Parents that are homeless will stand an ask for food, clothes for their children, which my heart hurts for the children, but the parents have tattoos all over, that does cost some money. One of the Churches, let the homeless stay at night inside to stay out of the weather. Guess what? Only lasted for around six months. Needles, trash, and the floors were used for toilets. So that was over with. Tent encampments, are full of drugs, felons, and most of a anything else. We can build homes for the homeless, but someone has to pay the electric bills, food, taxes, and who wants to keep supporting people who will not help themselves? My mom worked three jobs in the 70s, when there was NO child's support when my dad left. My mom and three kids stood in a cheese line, but my mom wanted more for us. She worked to get back on her feet. I do believe in a helping hand, but not continue to hand out for the ones who refuse to do better. Another thing, at our place of business, we had to close the bathrooms, and dressing rooms. Floors were used for bathrooms, and cleaning the rest rooms scary, we would find needles behind the toilets and trash cans. Even our sidewalks are scary. So NO I don't feel sorry for the majority of the homeless, I do for the ones who want to get up and do something.

Whenever I used to offer to buy food or something non alcoholic to drink for them they would almost always refuse.

    For me it comes down to 1) getting a comfortable apartment and being stuck without an ability to save, or 2) living in my vehicle knowing that within a year or two I’ll have enough money to return to Latin America. Tough decision, but I’m thinking long term.

    They would rather send help in form of food, supplies, medicine, clothing and more to countries where the people hate us [and they do deserve our help, regardless], rather than focus all that aid and assistance towards the people of *_THIS_* country that truly deserve it *_AS WELL, FIRST._*
    It's funny and odd that when it comes to sending space probes, satellites and rockets into space, there's *_ALWAYS_* enough money for *_THAT_* too. When it comes to starting and continuing wars in countries we have no business being in, there's *_ALWAYS_* enough money for that as well - *_BILLIONS AND PROBABLY TRILLIONS, IF NOT MORE..._*
    But oh, getting giant industries/corporations/banks and the govt. itself to supply a bit of funds to build small, quality homes, provide adequate medicine/treatment/therapy, provide clothing, food and proper job training *_TO IT'S OWN CITIZENS THAT ARE SUFFERING IN POVERTY, MISERY & SQUALOR???_* You get the typical mantra of:
    _"Oh we're sorry! We just don't have the available funds to help out that many people at this time! We're doing "everything we can" to "look into the problem" and we have people trying to come up with viable and practical solutions to "help out or fellow Americans in need". Thank you and God Bless America! Now, if youi'll excuse us, we have to attend an ultra "fancy" dinner ball so we can scheme up more ways to waste money on everything else _*_BUT_*_ the people that really need it in _*_THIS_*_ country! Ta Ta!!!!"_
    When will this nightmare end? *_Priorities, people in local, state and federal govt., priorities!!!!!!!!..._*

    This is beyond infuriating and as someone who has had to experience homelessness at different times in my life and see this happen to other people, it never stops hurting. I feel like the workers are so removed from any humanity within themselves because as they may claim they're just 'doing their jobs' but what they forget is that they can be on the streets tomorrow and that's one of the things about people who support capitalism and support ant i-poverty and anti-homeless people is no matter what you do whether it is engaging in the sweeps to throw out a homeless person's valuables or you engage in the physical brutality of murdering homeless people your masters will come for you next. You think you're doing a good job you think you're "doing as you're told' until it's your turn and those workers will see how it feels. 😡
    Perhaps we need to consider arming the homeless so that as they continue to be threatened in this manner or by the police or by the city they need to protect themselves don't they ? I mean other people continue to say oh well they just need to follow the rules they just need to stop being lazy and get a place to live and everything will be fine. Do you really think that following the rules is going to keep you alive and safe because that isn't working ?
