UNION RESCUE MISSION BLOG

Union Rescue Miss on, Los Angeles, has operated the Burbank Armory Cold Weather Shelter, and this is a UNION RESCUE MISSION BLOG where you can read about the false accusations of neighbors about the 400 PLUS people who have stayed at this shelter the winter of 2008-2009.

Quote" Our operations in West LA, Culver City, and at our downtown facility have been praised by their communities. Each of these shelters has received an A+ rating! Our Burbank shelter has had incredible support from most of the community; hundreds of volunteers, including a member of the Academy and her friends have not only volunteered at the shelter several nights a week, but brought tremendous movies for our guests to watch each night. A number of Burbank area churches and agencies enhanced our hospitality by bringing special meals and gifts that had a huge positive impact on our homeless guests. We served several hundred Burbank residents who found themselves without a place to lay their heads from December 1st until this coming March 15th. Included in these several hundred people were 23 Burbank area families with children who arrived at the Burbank Armory with nowhere to turn for shelter."

CITY OF LOS ANGELES and THE MAYOR want POOR to USE BANK ACCOUNTS

Instead of expensive check cashing companies...

Seems to me there is more to this than it seems. It sounds like they want people to save money. But maybe what they really want is to trace every dollar you spend... One thing about Money Orders is that they tend to be more private... WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

Los Angeles Family Housing News Breaking.... ARE HOMELESS RESIDENTS SLAVES ?

We've heard that Los Angeles Family Housing will be making it mandatory for residents to work twice a week around the place or be kicked out. While we are all for volunteering to show your appreciation when you want to, we're learning that many of the residents have the Veteran's or a Mental Health Facility paying for their beds.

We can only say this. When people are forced to work under threat of the streets, for no pay, that is slavery. Slavery went out in the mid 19th century.

Stipends anyone? This isn't prison is it?

If any residents are reading this, please, we need more information!
