Los Angeles's Koreatown Residents Helping Homeless People + one man Died shown in video.

Here the most important message in this video is that each and every community can take tangible actions to help their homeless neighbors. Homeless service providers are giving them all to help homeless people, but often they are overwhelmed and unable to respond. Bureaucracy also gets in the way of homeless services' ability to take quick actions. As you will see in this vlog, you don't have to be a professional outreach worker to help people. Just do it!

It's also important to note that the people of Los Angeles see homelessness and the homeless services system more realistically than many politicians and providers do. In this video, Jane shares how she has tried to connect with social services many times to find help for people, but there is rarely even a response. Angelenos have learned that contacting social services can be frustrating. I found it interesting that Jane reached out to Mel Tillakaratne, the founder of the SheDoes movement to help instead of contacting homeless services.

Often when I am out on the streets, I never know if I'll be able to cut it into a vlog or not. As I was reviewing the footage, I realized that what I shot was a real look at Los Angeles homelessness as seen through the eyes of concerned residents. I am not the best cameraman, and I hate to edit videos, but I knew I had to get this video up to tell this story. I just hope it motivates others to start helping homeless people!
