Redding Homeless Blog

  I have never seen in 20 years of being a homeless advocate a blind homeless person before, walking alone with the severely mentally ill, pervert and rapist filled streets of Redding California. Alone... This poor gal is walking with a red and white cane legally blind; I saw her walk into the wall of Tortilla Flats etc....  Later I saw her almost break her ankle trying to step off the curb. She does manage to make it to the mission sometimes for food, but apparently lives outside.  Her name is Angel Good News Rescue Mission paid staff member said they kicked her out of mission and lots of other homeless people and he can't figure out why, only allowing her to go there to eat When called a staff member at Mission they said “We have to draw the line somewhere” Apparently, that line includes blind homeless girls Her name is Angel 

  Walking in their shoes, to be crushed by a garbage truck sleeping in a downtown alley or a Semi truck sleeping in your tent , one cannot think of many more gruesome ways to die. Of course, many are slowly dying inside as they waist away homeless on Redding California's cruel streets, a palpable indifference from that Redding City Council, and Shasta County Supervisors who should care, yet for years have turned their collective backs in cold indifference. " Lori was homeless but Casey said it was very recent as she always had a job and apartment. However, there came a point where utilities became too much, so Lori decided to camp in the tent. " Since the City of Redding continues to allow homeless to camp within 2 feet from road up and down State St & Favretto Ave next to a dark Semi Truck trailer transfer lot, I propose at least some modicum of safety by simply placing bright safety cones and safety barriers at strategic spots on these horrible da...

Demonstration Micro Shelter It was my absolute pleasure to attend Saint James Lutheran's open house, showcasing the plans for a tiny homeless shelter community.  On the property behind their church, featured was one of the tiny homes already built that will accommodate 2 homeless individuals should the church board vote to go forward with this beautiful, long overdue, positive first step in alleviating homelessness in the city of Redding and Shasta County. Saint James Lutheran has boldly and bravely accepted the challenge to be one of the first to demonstrate the Love of Jesus Christ and provide for the needs of the "least of the brethren." Other churches and the City of Redding are soon to follow, with hopes of building other micro shelter communities in and around Redding. With layers of supervision and accountability, it will certainly be a situation of a hand up, and not a handout. Providing homeless with the "first step of a ladder" to climbing out of the ...

  Preach the Gospel at all times and if necessary, use words You would be hard pressed to find a better example of this saying witnessing the Journey church in action going about our community Showing, through action, the Love of Jesus Christ giving to the homeless the means to survive spiritually and physically on our streets. Every third Saturday you can find their team compassionately giving out food, water, clothing, even dog food to those who have so very little. Sixty food boxes, as well as forty sack lunches were given out on one Saturday alone. And of course prayer was offered to those who spiritually feel that they need it for whatever reason. They also offer food at their Church to those in poverty and meet their hunger needs. It was an absolute pleasure to go out with them into the homeless community and meet them where they are. The Team goes to the Cypress Street bridge, Library, and Masonic lodge area every third Saturday and I can tell you the homeless are very appre...

  With Christmas just days gone by, you would thing Redding and Shasta County Supervisors would have more compassion for the homeless in our community. The Good News Rescue Mission, 3100 South Market Street, the only nighttime shelter we have is reportedly kicking out homeless seeking shelter for the most nominal of offenses. Several can be seen sleeping on the sidewalk in front of the mission. Redding Homeless - Good News Rescue Mission Those with mental issues, are forced to sleep outside, even though the temperatures have been below freezing for several days now, including homeless children. Dozens of homeless are forced to seek shelter under the roof of a very compassionate local business but really is that fair to them?  A young little girl in a pink jacket is living in a freezing boulder field under Cypress Street with dozens of other homeless sufferings, yet even though the City of Redding has declared a Homeless Shelter Crisis, and received a million dollars, the refus...

Now follow Redding Homeless on  INSTAGRAM   Past building , pole, and into street. Little over a week since a homeless disabled woman was allegedly ran over by a City of Redding California garbage truck and no more than a hundred feet from where another incredible safety hazard was reported to the Redding California police department yesterday early morning and for almost an hour there was NO RESPONSE !  Now it cannot be over emphasized that this is on a corner and this person was in a very dark colored bag  clearly in the path of alleyway traffic, a gruesome horrible mangulation or death to be sure.
