Because of continued tech issues I’ve had to to stop doing live interviews with homeless related service providers. At least for now interviews will be uploaded to our Youtube Channel and then posted on hardlynormal.com
Because this was a powerful interview and such an important topic I am re-posting here. The original post can be found here.
Here are the old live interviews on Ustream

Keep fighting the good fight! Thank you for the work you do, all three!

I'm wondering if this effort should be engrained in a religious background.. Although I really appreciate and admire this loud call for awareness, I am disappointed it has surfaced with a religious backbone- helping humanity is not a religious duty, it's a human duty. God did not intend for homelessness. the human condition is influenced by two things: the biological course of things, and human decisions. we are our own hope. please don't bring god into this.

If people use a religious background to help the cause, why complain? Everyone has their own point of view and their own reason to do it. If god helps you with your decision making process then so be it. To each his own.

Your work helping the homeless to have a voice and bee seen is so great especially with the News Media and Government trying to make this recession look like things are changing for the better when they are not. The chances of getting a job are far less than winning the lottery. We all have a vastly greater chance of becoming homeless under this NWO orchestrated recession under Obama. Anyone that thinks they have job security better beware, Obama and Pelosi are destroying jobs by the millions.
My wife was a homeless teen who lived under a bridge for a while. We have been married for 30 years this December 15. We have two children and our third grand-child is due in April. It was Apostolic Pentecostal folks who took her in and that is where I met her.

wow. thanks to all those helping the homeless. I have been homeless off and on all my life due to various reasons. Beginning when I was 15 when I slept in abandoned houses in Seattle and now at age 54 I will never be homeless again. I had to move to Mexico to be able to afford to purchase a home. And if you think the homeless problem in the U.S. is bad you should see it in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua in Mexico. There are almost NO social services here, no social security, no food stamps, food banks, nothing. I am feeding as many people as I can before my groceries run out too. It snowed here on Monday. Many people live in cardboard/packing crate houses. I am lucky to have an adobe house with a bathroom and hot shower and a clothes dryer that run on propane. It is sad I had to leave the U.S. in order to have a home. And now I have an even bigger challenge — how to help all these people! If we all help our neighbors, no matter where we live, the world would be a much better place for our children and grandchildren to inherit. God bless you all.

Hi,
I really enjoyed your video on Steve. The work you do is really moving, and I am definitely going to share it with the Stanford students who are involved with homelessness issues. I thought you might want to know about another way to tackle homelessness.
Imagine being able to support top performing nonprofits, each working to solve homelessness from a different angle. Philanthropedia, a new social venture has identified 13 top nonprofits working in Bay Area homelessness with the opinions of 83 experts.
I would like to invite you to visit our site to learn more and check out our latest feature, charitable gift cards. If you find our website interesting and think your readers would be interested in promoting solving homelessness to their family and friends for this giving season, I hope you will consider blogging about us. If so, we'd love to link folks directly to your blog by including you in our “As Featured In” section alongside an article by “Chronicle of Philanthropy”.
Please contact me if you have any questions!

It's a wonderful website, from what I can see, but impossible to read the information because of the black background and dark type (except where highlighted). I believe many more would checkout what was going on if you made it easier to read. I have been homeless myself several times, and am now working on trying to get useful info out to those that need it in my area of Florida. I count my blessings everyday. Merry Christmas.

I am formerly homeless. I started a music program for the homeless in Sac.Ca. It has been going for almost 8 years. “Rev. Linda Kelly and myself started it when I was still homeless. I am making a movie on and with the homeless,” Children of the Lost “. 22 music videos tell a story of a family's fall into homelessness and the agency's that help them out of homelessness. If you would like to play some of these still picture videos from the sound track “YOU MAY”. Let me know please. Filming starts at the end of April.

Wow!I don’t know how I came upon this site but i’m glad I did.We all take life for granted,our good paying jobs,our house with a white picket fence,but these stories could easily be you or me.We need to thank god for the blessings he has provided and pray for those less fortunate.

I saw the video of Cecelia and Juliana. I would like to invite them to stay with me temporarily until they can regain their financial balance. I have a 2 bedroom apartment in Evannston, Illinois and I live alone except for a temporary cat at the moment. I am a 51 year old male self employed handyman, and I could use a positive attitude and some help around the house and garden anyway. And I like kids a lot. Anyway, I realize that there is probably some reason why that cannot work out, but I just wanted to extend the invitation and best wishes anyway.
