Watched Youtube yesterday, saw homeless people in Anerica.
One lady in a wheelchair asked the guy filming for some Coca Cola, and clothes (when asked what would brighten her day.)
She said the people there are nasty to her.
Exactly why the govt should have tent cities for all homeless people.

Also saw a homeless mom with 3 small girls, about 3, 6, and 8/ 9.
Then homeless and hungry men...one eating some fries he retrieved from a trash bin.

Can homeless people in America get any financial assistance from the federal govt?
In Hollywood it was against the law to feed me when I was homeless. Everything was expensive and work was hard to get. So, it is different to be homeless in Hollywood than it is to be homeless in the OC.
In the OC you simply go to the Mental Health Association and they will put you in a shelter and they will feed you, and you can shower, and they have a Thrift Store where the homeless can get free clothes and free furniture for when they get into housing. The MHA will sign you up for all of the programs and the people can get on medication to stop the voices in their heads, and they can get therapy so that they come to reality, and they get the people into N/A, etc, whatever they need.
There is also a newer Wellness Center in Orange, if you are homeless then you simply go to the Wellness Center and they will put you into a shelter and get you a psychiatrist, and whatever you need. There are also abused women who need safe houses. And Foster youth who need group homes, etc.
The money to help the homeless in the OC is coming from every direction, money is coming from churches, charities, and also from the federal, state, county, and city governments, etc. The Wellness Center and the MHA are both being funded in a million ways.
Hollywood is cold, and hard, and brutal, but in the OC the Wellness Center in Orange and the MHA in Santa Ana will help you. Anaheim also has a Housing Authority to help people with housing, and Anaheim is a wealthy city, with Disney, the Ducks, the Angels, and with UCI medical school, and Fullerton Community College, and Cal State Fullerton, the OC is rich. The homeless people in Hollywood need to ride the Metrolink Trains to the OC and they need to go to the Wellness Center in Orange and they will get help immediately.
For the actors, new housing is being built in Hollywood for homeless actors, etc. SAG and other groups are involved with new housing for the actors, etc.
And the United Farm Workers can tell the refugees where the farm jobs are.
Salute,
Tony V.
