It’s a lot people chose to be homeless and LIVE on the streets of downtown LA and it is a lot of them like to get off the streets and sidewalks and live in they own place and pay rent every month. Where is the money going to because I don’t see them helping the people get off the streets in downtown LA since I have been living in downtown LA on the hard part of SKID row. I been there where a lot of the people that are living in the streets but God bless me with a SRO and now he gave me my section 8 voucher from LA housing authority and they said I can Port out. So I prayed to God about it and he send me to Las Vegas NV housing authority and now I have found myself a two bedroom apartment in the good part of Las Vegas NV. So can’t no one tell me God won’t BLESS you. I graduated from the Los Angeles MISSION in 2017 and I still come there and volunteer my time in the kitchen with the top CHEF’S that runs the kitchen and plus everyone that works there love me because I kept my word and if I need them I know they are there to help me. And I appreciate it very much from the Los Angeles MISSION.
