Women Scramble to save Belongings from RV Homeless Sweep


RV encampment in Playa Del Ray was hit with a massive sweep. LAPD, along with LA Sanitation and Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), blocked off Jefferson Blvd and started to throw people's belongings away without providing any tangible support. 

Homeless sweeps involve police officers forcing homeless individuals living in RVs and other vehicles to vacate their current location, often without providing them with an alternative place to stay. These sweeps are incredibly harmful and traumatic for those experiencing homelessness, as they are forced to leave their only shelter and possessions behind without knowing where they will sleep that night. Additionally, these sweeps make it even harder for service providers to reach and help these individuals, as they are constantly being displaced and forced to move.

Homeless sweeps do nothing to solve the underlying issue of homelessness. Instead of investing in long-term solutions, such as affordable housing and mental health services, these sweeps waste taxpayer money and cause unnecessary harm to vulnerable individuals. Homelessness is a complex issue that requires a multifaceted approach and cannot be solved through punitive measures. Rather than displacing homeless individuals, the city should work towards creating sustainable solutions that will provide them with the support and resources needed to rebuild their lives.

Where Do They Go? The Painful Reality of Seattle's RV Homeless Sweeps


Seattle's controversial RV homeless sweeps have been a source of contention among advocates, residents, and city officials alike. By forcibly removing vehicle residents from their makeshift mobile homes, these sweeps not only displace vulnerable individuals but also often leave them with no alternative shelter. This policy, aimed at addressing the visible impact of homelessness in the city, has been criticized for exacerbating the issue by further marginalizing those who already face significant challenges.

Derrick & Goose: Patriot PAWS Service Dogs


Veteran and 2020 Service Dog recipient Derrick Meis, shares how receiving Goose impacted his life.

Derrick, a veteran and recipient of a Patriot PAWS service dog named Goose, has shared how his life has changed for the better with the help of his furry companion. Derrick’s life took a drastic turn when he underwent numerous surgeries, including 11 knee surgeries, back and shoulder surgeries, and even an amputation. These surgeries kept him bedridden for almost five years, making it impossible for him to contribute to his household. The situation left him feeling hopeless and depressed, and he struggled to find a way out.

Determined to do something about his situation, Derrick turned to volunteering at Patriot PAWS, a nonprofit organization that trains and provides service dogs to disabled American veterans. His work at the organization gave him a new purpose, and he enjoyed spending time with the adorable puppies. Even though it was hard work, it helped him forget about his problems and worries.
