This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit public.substack.comFor decades, Union Rescue Mission President and CEO Andy Bales has lived the values he preaches, caring for the most vulnerable among us and inspiring hope in the darkest places. He has also been a relentless gadfly in L.A.'s homelessness debate, a lone voice advocating recovery and community-based services amid the din of harm-reduction mantras and corrupt development rackets. After 20 years leading URM, the next six months will be his last among the people of Skid Row. Next year, he will return to his home state of Iowa to be closer to his family.The reverend's lifelong mission began, in a way, with a sandwich: A Des Moines school teacher moonlighting as a weekend parking attendant, Bales remembered the night a homeless man rapped on his window and asked for his supper. Bales thought about the long hours ahead and said, “I'm sorry, sir, but I need my sandwich. I looked and his face drooped with disappointment, and he disappeared into the cold darkness. And it was like a hammer hit me.”He had been preaching to his classes that feeding a hungry person is like feeding God. Embarrassed “because of how badly I'd failed,” Bales prayed for a second chance. A few weeks later, he found the man on the street and fed him dinner. A few weeks after that, someone suggested he apply for a job at a nearby rescue mission.

Rev. Andy Bales has  fought to end homelessness in Los Angeles County for more than three decades.  His tales of life on the streets of Skid Row illustrate the emergency situation in which Los Angeles has found itself. An average of 5.5 people die daily in LA County when they are  unhoused. Bales and his team at Union Rescue Mission have provided housing, counseling, job programs and much more. Seniors end up homeless for a variety of reasons. When they do they find themselves in a situation that is said to reduce life expectancy by nearly 30 years.  This episode is a frank discussion with someone who has literally given his life to this cause--losing both legs in the process. Hosts Nicole Franklin and Bryant Monteilh were honored to spend this time with someone who knows first-hand--and who tries to implement when he and his team can-- the steps needed to put an end to this growing human tragedy.To volunteer and/or donate, please visit Union Rescue Mission @ urm.org.This episode first aired on KBLA Talk 1580 in Los Angeles.

Among everything that COVID-19 made worse, there is nothing more dire — or more visible — than its impact on homelessness. Over 66,000 people in Los Angeles County are homeless. It's an issue that has bedeviled L.A., the land of sunshine and dreams, for decades. Everyone seems to have an idea on how to solve it. None seem to work. Then last month, a federal judge issued an order: House everyone in skid row, the historical epicenter of homelessness in Los Angeles. House everyone by October — or else. We speak with L.A. Times housing reporter Ben Oreskes and the Rev. Andy Bales, who runs Union Rescue Mission on skid row, about a move that could test whether there's enough political will to solve homelessness once and for all.More reading: Judicial overreach? Some say judge went too far in ordering L.A. to clear skid row

John & Ken talked to Rev. Andy Bales from the Union Rescue Mission for his reaction to reports that homeless were 86ed out of Union Station for the woke Oscars.

Yesterday Judge David O. Carter, who oversees a lawsuit about homelessness in Los Angeles, ordered the city and county to offer housing or shelter to the entire population of Skid Row by fall. Judge Carter also specified that the city and the county must offer women and unaccompanied children a place to stay within 90 days, help families within 120 days, and by October 18 offer everyone living on Skid Row housing. “Los Angeles has lost its parks, beaches, schools, sidewalks, and highway systems due to the inaction of city and county officials who have left our homeless citizens with no other place to turn,” Carter wrote in a 110-page brief. “All of the rhetoric, promises, plans, and budgeting cannot obscure the shameful reality of this crisis — that year after year, there are more homeless Angelenos, and year after year, more homeless Angelenos die on the streets.” Last year alone, more than 1,300 homeless people died in LA County. The population of Skid Row only accounts for 10% of the city’s overall homeless population— it’s unclear what the judge’s order will mean for other parts of the city. Today on AirTalk, we’re learning more about Judge Carter’s order and what the impact could be on Skid Row’s population. Are you experiencing homelessness? What are your thoughts on the judge’s order? We want to hear from you! Give us a call at 866-893-5722. If you are currently experiencing homelessness, or know someone who is, and you’d like to get help, you can call 211 or click here to be taken to LAHSA’s resource page.  If you are on Skid Row and need shelter, please contact Rev.

Every one of us has walked by someone who is experiencing homelessness at one time or another and looked away. Why? Because the problem of homelessness is so big and complicated. We don’t know what to do or how to help. So we keep walking. But the problem of homelessness in our communities isn’t going away. In fact, it’s getting worse. Ending homelessness won’t be easy. It will take all of us — as well as courage, passion, and a well-thought-out plan. The Rev. Andy Bales has a plan. Meet Rev. Andy Bales The Rev. Andy Bales still remembers the man who turned him into an advocate for the homeless more than 30 years ago. Bales, then a teacher at a Christian school in Des Moines, had just taught his students a lesson about Matthew 25:40: Whatever you do to the least fortunate, it’s as if you do it to God. At his part-time job minding a parking lot a few nights later, a stranger knocked on his window. The man had a dirty beard and was missing teeth. He asked for Bales’ sandwich. “Sorry, sir, I need my sandwich,” Bales replied, and the man shuffled away into the night. That’s when an epiphany struck. “I realized I didn’t practice what I had preached,” Bales recalls. Through a stroke of luck, Bales found that man on the street later on and fed him dinner – and has parlayed that meal into millions more over the years as CEO of L.A.’s Union Rescue Mission. Since 2005, Bales has led the comprehensive emergency shelter organization and personally overseen the distribution of food, water, medical services and shelter beds to men, women and children in need. “My goals are to regionalize services throughout L.A. County and really end Skid Row as we know it,” Bales says. “I want to have services in as many neighborhoods as I can so that when somebody loses their home, they can access services in their own neighborhood.” Skid Row is an “intractable” problem with a variety of forces keeping the sprawling homeless encampment in place, he says. Union Rescue Mission offers homeless clients a bed, three meals per day, donated clothing, showers and hygiene supplies, medical care and counseling. The shelter’s hospitality center also helps guests prepare for jobs by providing a mailing address, phone number and banking services.  The inhumane conditions on Skid Row hit home for Bales two years ago, when he lost his leg after contracting an infection while walking the streets. Shocked public officials declared they would tackle the issue afresh as news of Bales’ amputation spread. “‘If Andy Bales can’t walk down the street and preach the gospel we have to do something,’” he recalls city councilman Gil Cedillo stating at the time. Now confined to a wheelchair, Bales still canvasses the sidewalks downtown, reaching out to L.A.’s most desperate denizens. “I’m encouraged that at least the loss of my leg prompted action,” he says. “I’d actually offer up my other leg if we could solve homelessness in Los Angeles.” Bales has a personal stake in the crisis. His grandfather, a WWI veteran who likely suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, was homeless for most of his life. “He would just pack up the family and they would jump a freight train from Des Moines to L.A.,” Bales says, looking for work, opportunities – anything. “He was thinking they’d find green grass on the other side of the fence.” From age four to 17, Bales’ father traveled via freight car with his family. “His last week on earth, all my dad could talk about was the pain and shame of homelessness when he was a teenager. Everyone knew about it when he went to school.” When tackling homelessness, urgency is key, Bales believes. Long-term housing is essential, but until it’s built, “precious human beings” suffer. “The longer you allow people to be devastated by homelessness, they are forever impacted mentally, physically, spiritually, vocationally.” Bales wants to see 60 Sprung structures erected throughout the city to give people emergency shelter and case management. The plan would immediately take some 13,000 people off the streets. One such structure – for women, who face special dangers while homeless – is already planned for the Union Rescue Mission parking lot. For Bales, it’s another chance to make good on his teaching: “God has been faithful to me to allow me to practice what I have preached.” Join Rev.
