Comments for “Homeless Jewish Woman Describes Her Life”

I can relate to what Marla is going through in California.
I remember living out of my car when I first landed there in 1973. It took me a few months but in time I found steady employment and got an apartment shortly afterwards but that was the California of old where immigration was controlled and then President Nixon had the landlords contained under the ‘ wage, price and rent freeze’ law.
I was paying $125 a month for my apartment and NOT $1250 like it would cost you today.
Marla might find Los Angeles a contemptuous place for a homeless person because they are heavily burdened with illegals and runaways from all over the country.
The job market is there but the cost of living can offset your earnings leaving next to penniless between paydays.
Marla just needs to find the right people where she is at that can help her. A lot of the organizations that are out there for assistance, as she has found out, have become bureaucratic and dysfunctional. Only the professional beggars know the ropes on how to get help from those agencies.
