ARE BURBANK SECTION 8 LANDLORDS SLUMLORDS? QUESTION FOR RENTERS ON SECTION 8
We've been hearing complaints about the way landlords who take Section 8 in Burbank, California are playing their tenants. Burbank, unlike the City of Los Angeles, has NO RENT CONTROL. So renters in Burbank who aren't even using Section 8 vouchers can experience having their rents raised at any time and by hundreds of dollars.
We're hearing that Burbank Section 8 tenants fear eviction if they make legitimate requests for repairs, that landlords blame them and want money for things like old carpet that is worn out due to regular use rather than abuse, and some have been calling in friends to help them deal with broken plumbing and so on rather than report it. They are afraid their landlords will raise the rent so that they have to move when they don't have deposit money and will become homeless. This makes Burbank a bad place to rent.
ARE BURBANK LANDLORDS WORSE THAN MOST? Are they only taking Section 8 because they can't rent their run down old buildings to people who have more choice in housing?
We'd like to hear more from those of you who have been renting in Burbank with the help of Section 8.

BURBANK IKEA FREE BREAKFAST ON MONDAY MORNINGS ATTRACTS AREA SENIOR CITIZENS AND LOCAL HOMELESS
IKEA, the furniture and home fashions store, situated in Burbank, California, has an event every Monday morning. The regular 99 cent breakfast is free, if you become a Ikea member the coffee is always free. So any other day of the week you pay only 99 Cents for scrambled eggs, potato, and a couple sausages.
We decided to go undercover and have a volunteer investigate to find out if there really is a free breakfast and if the place is "full of homeless."
Our first encounter with another shopper was with a person who said they were a liberal and in teaching but that "all these homeless people" eating free was giving a "wrong message."
So we looked around, expecting to see a lot of people who were clearly street homeless, dirty, stinky, possibly carrying garbage in with them - you know the stereotype.
To our surprise and pleasure we were there for over an hour before we spotted any Burbank homeless that we know of. Otherwise we saw that there were a great number of senior citizens - most likely on a budget - and that even the homeless we know of were clean and neat. We think that IKEA does this breakfast to attract shoppers on a slow day but the event appears to also be a community service.
Later, sitting with one of Burbank's senior citizens sitting alone till we arrived, we learned that many local seniors high-tail it over to IKEA to socialize together and keep within their food budgets.
IKEA has donated to homeless causes in the past. For instance, Ikea provided furnishings for one of Los Angeles Family Housing's HUD/ Mental Health voucher building projects where the spare modern designs worked well with concrete floors.
IKEA has a number of other low priced food items for sale during the breakfast and at other times during the day including muffins, corn bread, and their Swedish meatballs.
We hope the store will keep it up.

NO SHELTER IN GLENDALE FOR 2014 - 2015 SEASON UPDATE GLENDALE WINTER HOMELESS SHELTER PLAN ? DEPENDENT ON ASCENCIA
UPDATE DEC 2014 - there is no armory shelter in Glendale for the winter 2014-2015 season. Ascencia was not funded either. Use our search feature to bring up shelter searches.
There is always 211, but they collect information on you, and may not refer you if they think you are "chronically homeless" (6 months or more, or repetitive.)
GO TO OUR LINK FOR http://www.shelterlistings.org/ NATIONAL
BURBANK LEADER ARTICLE from 2012
So Glendale and Burbank want to lean heavily on the non-profit called Ascenia, the previously named PATH- Glendale, to deal with homeless. We believe that every city should have it's own year round shelter so people who become homeless can stay in their own familiar surroundings
IF YOU GET TO THIS POST IN 2015 or thereafter you may find shelters by calling your local city or county hotlines for information.

BURBANK CITY COUNCIL VOTES YES FOR HOUSING FOR VETS PROJECT
BURBANK LEADER - VETERANS HOUSING HELP BURBANK HOUSING CORP link to article from August 23, 2013.
"The cost to acquire and rehabilitate the property, and relocate its current tenants, is $2.7 million, the majority of which will be funded by federal affordable housing funds and the Burbank Housing Corp., according to city officials.
The property includes four buildings and a courtyard located at 1101 W. Verdugo Ave. and 1108 W. Angeleno Ave. Each one-bedroom unit is roughly 580 square feet....City officials said the demand for the program is high since 25 homeless veterans reside in Burbank, according to a recent study.
“Data suggests there is a need to help these veterans, get them off the streets,” said project manager Ross Young.
The idea is to provide housing and support services — including vocational training and job placement — for a period of two years, at which point the veterans are expected to find permanent housing. Ten one-bedroom units will be made available, with the last unit reserved for a program director, Young said.
“I am so supportive of this,” said Councilman Gary Bric. “It’s something that we owe our veterans.”

BILL HANDEL - KFI RADIO - BELIEVES IN A LIVEABLE MINUMUM WAGE - HE'S HALF THE WAY THERE TO UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEMS OF HOMELESSNESS!
KFI - BILL HANDEL - WEB PAGE HERE! On air: Weekdays 5 - 9 a.m. Call / Text: 1-800-520-1KFI / 640640 Email: bill@kfi640.com
Who says we aren't fair? We've been on the back of KFI radio which we've called 50,000 WATTS OF IGNORANCE, not so long ago and often we listen to the radio, especially early morning radio.
Friday morning, August 2nd, 2013, while talking about fast food workers striking around the country, we actually heard Handel express support for the LIVING WAGE!
Since some of us use EBT for Fast Food at places like Jack In A Box, Subway, and Pizza Hut, and are grateful to have a hot meal, even then we know that so many people are ONE PAYCHECK AWAY FROM HOMELESSNESS and that some of the people who make the burgers and sandwiches and pies could be next.
People really do need to afford $1000 a month average rent for a one bedroom apartment in most of Southern California and on minimum wage if you're young and single you're going to have to rent a room, live with a lot of people, maybe family or roommates, or live in your van or RV.
We're even meeting employed people who have the retirement plan of living in a Van or RV so that they can save up money to move to another city like maybe Detroit, where there are supposed to be houses for $1.
Bill's understanding that it takes about $18 an hour to live is right on.
We think GREEDY LANDLORDS are the number #1 reason why people who shouldn't be, because they are working or have worked for years, are homeless. WE ALSO SEE WHAT THE GREEDY LANDLORDS ARE DOING TO SECTION 8!
So Bill, we hope you and some of the more ignorant but intelligent members of KFI staff, will read us! (We think you do!)

BROADCASTER BILL HANDEL - KFI RADIO - SENSITIVITY RATING GOING UP
Successful KFI radio broadcaster Bill Handel has taken some well deserved criticism from us.
KFI is a station with a big range and Bill's got influence. We were upset when he joked that he and his brother baited homeless people with five dollar bills. Bill is however getting more sensitive to the homeless because he has learned that an old friend of his is on the street. Bill recently mentioned the WAR ON POVERTY as over. We have a video at the bottom of this blog on the WAR OF POVERTY as well as inaugural speeches by various U.S. Presidents concerning human rights.
We'd like KFI, which broadcasts out of Burbank, California, to get more activated when it comes to homeless and poverty issues in Burbank.
The myth about Burbank is that, since the movie studios moved in and started paying taxes and shopping areas have been revitalized, there is no poverty or homelessness in Burbank. Some people say Burbank Police throw homeless over the border into LA City territory. Worst of all, Burbank does not want any homeless shelters in the city and does not want the United States Armory, located near the Fry's near the airport to be used as a winter shelter. (As usual, the homeowners are offended.) All of which, as we see it, goes to prove the point that poor people are more generous than rich.

PETS OF THE HOMELESS ORG - AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PLACES TO GET YOUR DOG FOOD !
Some people don't think homeless people should have pets, but ask some homeless who have been kept safe on the street by their loyal German Shepherd or Pit Bull... How do you feed your dog when you may be pan handling for food for yourself? (Should we mention the old women we see in the store buying nothing but a couple tins of cat food and how we wonder if they are eating it themselves? What ever happened to the dogs that were taken off one senior citizen we know who became homeless and brought them to the shelter that took him in?)
This site has a list of HOMELESS SHELTERS THAT TAKE PETS.

BURBANK REZONES : HOMELESS SHELTERS ALLOWED IN INDUSTRIAL STRIPS HOMEOWNERS WANT TO FAINT
Burbank homeowners apparently don't want to think about what happens to their own town people when they loose everything. (You know, like when the movie business that funds the town with taxes moves out?) They don't want to see us! They want to keep us away from residential neighborhoods. Breaking news here from the LA Times. Why would HOUSING US TEMPORARILY place us in a "not residential" zone only? Wake up Burbank!
"Assistant Community Development Director Michael Forbes said the zones were selected because they are farthest away from residential neighborhoods. The City Council also approved changes that would allow a homeless shelter to be built near downtown.“There are some places where an M-2 zone is very close to residential neighborhoods, or it is in a less-than-ideal place for a shelter, but we still need to allow it by law,” Forbes said. “In addition to M-2, there is a commercial/industrial zone near the downtown area, away from residential areas and near transit, that would be well-suited for a homeless shelter.”
