1
00:00:00,266 --> 00:00:02,316
>> Don't know what to say.

2
00:00:02,416 --> 00:00:07,546
Like, I guess, struggling is really hard
for a lot of people, and Myriah's going

3
00:00:07,546 --> 00:00:09,126
through what she's going through.

4
00:00:09,126 --> 00:00:10,196
I'm going through it myself.

5
00:00:10,656 --> 00:00:11,946
I have an 11-year-old son.

6
00:00:13,276 --> 00:00:16,686
It's hard, you know, but you
just got to keep on going.

7
00:00:16,996 --> 00:00:17,746
You don't give up.

9
00:00:51,066 --> 00:00:55,106
>> The numbers are higher
than we thought they'd be.

10
00:00:55,416 --> 00:01:00,096
We have more students that go
to bed hungry and more students

11
00:01:00,166 --> 00:01:01,776
that aren't sure where they're going to sleep.

12
00:01:02,186 --> 00:01:06,086
And it's critical for the success
in college or in high school

13
00:01:06,356 --> 00:01:09,456
that you have a good meal
and a roof over your head.

14
00:01:09,456 --> 00:01:14,896
>> After all, this is Los Angeles, the
highest concentration of wealth in many parts

15
00:01:14,896 --> 00:01:19,106
of the nation right here in Los Angeles County.

16
00:01:19,786 --> 00:01:24,466
We now have a proven plan with resources
dedicated to fighting homelessness,

17
00:01:24,466 --> 00:01:30,346
and that's thanks to Measure H.
And, yes, that includes students.

18
00:01:30,846 --> 00:01:37,456
And so the Board of Supervisors just
committed $1 billion of Measure H funds

19
00:01:37,456 --> 00:01:42,216
over the next three years that will
specifically address homelessness.

20
00:01:42,216 --> 00:01:45,916
>> I just want, like, you know,
you guys to know that it's hard.

21
00:01:45,916 --> 00:01:50,656
And, you know, there's days you're going
to want to stop, but just keep going.

22
00:01:50,656 --> 00:01:55,586
Just -- you know, I'm still going, and
I'm here to let you guys know that.
