There is Hope Among the Los Angeles Homeless Crisis “Rat Infested”

August 22, 2019
'Rats Have Taken Over the City': Los Angeles Homeless Crisis Reaches Epidemic Levels

California’s homeless epidemic is hitting record levels

Many have turned to faith-based groups for help, but despite those organizations’ best efforts, more are turning up in need of assistance.

“What you are seeing is a row of tents,” said Officer Deon Joseph of the Los Angeles Police Department. Those rows make up “skid row,” a 50-block area with the country’s largest homeless population that’s only continuing to grow. Spike in Rodent Population Sparks Health Fears “California is experiencing a massive spike in its rodent population that started being detected two years ago but has accelerated in the last 12 months,” said Carl DeMaio, Chairman of Reform California. Reform California reports this rampant rat infestation has even caused the spread of dangerous diseases like typhus.

Celebrity physician Dr. Drew Pinsky calls it a health crisis, something not seen “in this country for 100 years.” Pinsky even compared downtown LA to a third world country because of its public health problems and lack of sanitation.

LA’s Rat Problem “Not Consistent with Civilization”

“Rats have taken over the city, it’s not consistent with civilization, how many must die before we change direction?” Pinsky said.

In 2019 homeless numbers in LA County rose by 12 percent to nearly 59,000 people. “I have to respond to the systemic failures of our country in helping people like this and it’s not going to be pretty but it worked, it drove people to programs,” said Officer Joseph.

Officer Joseph has covered life “on the skids” for 22 years, helping people like Rose, who battled drug addiction for more than a decade.

Taking Inspiration from the Success Stories

“I got keys to my own place,” said Rose. “It feels good, you can wake up knowing you are going to wake up, everything is going to be alright, no worries.”

“Rose has been an inspiration to me,” Officer Joseph said. “I don’t know how many people she has inspired on the street, but she is an inspiration to me. She is why I keep doing what I do.”

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

‘that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ‘

Romans 10:9
