Homelessness and Hope Campaign

BRJF has helps the homeless contend with lack of housing and apartments. Seniors, disabled, and homeless are typically told by our government that there are low-cost apartments, but when they find themselves in need, there are no low-cost anything, and they are in financial situations that don't allow them to rent in many instances, anywhere.

BRJF volunteers have brought food to the homeless, blankets, given them resources and information, worked on food banks, and have picked up homeless off the streets to bring them to recovery centers, shelter, and to offer hope. Debbie, the founder, has helped seniors get on senior apartments lists and get the right info, find low cost rooms or abodes to live in, and get the care they require. As a volunteer herself, she has made meals for homeless in recovery, who are healing from addiction and hopelessness, in Antelope Valley and Downtown Los Angeles, Ca. Every week, they enjoy a large buffet of home cooked food, and discussion and sharing. Help sponsor recovery and meals or Tiny Village homes for the homeless. Every Tiny Village counts and makes our city a better place for everyone.

Bridge to Housing and Community

BRJF volunteers started out talking to some of Los Angeles homeless people and giving out food. Learning about each person's situation and tailoring the right bridge to shelters and recovery is unique for each person's situation. Some were sexually assaulted & abused within their own homes and cannot go home.

SOME THINGS WE HAVE DONE

One day, in North Hollywood, Ca., Debbie spotted a homeless man, sleeping in a doorway on a cold night on a small mall. He was shaking and shivering and very skinny. She brought him to Chandler Recovery House, got him a blanket, bought him a large meal, and he looked up at her and said, “I am seeing an angel”. He ceased shaking from the cold and hunger. The recovery house agreed to take him in, and she asked him, “Do you want to go into recovery and gain sobriety?”. He agreed and said, “yes”.

Another time, while going to the grocery, Debbie spotted a person laying face down in the parking lot. She called a paramedic. When they came, they claimed he was just drinking and no one took him into care. The police would not help either, when Debbie asked them to take him to a men's sober living recovery home in the area. They did not like his smell and he was wearing dirty clothing. Debbie took him to the Victory House in Burbank, CA. He told her his name was “Johnny” and he had lost his way in life. The Victory House cooked him a huge breakfast with eggs, hash browns, orange juice, coffee, fruit, and desert, something he was not used to. They gave him a shower, fresh clothing, and set a date for his entrance into their men's recovery sober living house at Debbie's request and Johnny's consent. The Victory House is a men's recovery sober living home. Sometimes addicts or alcoholics do not know there is something called “recovery” or a program of people that care about them!
