Podcast Transcript
Hi, this Jenny and I’m here with Faith from New Beginnings and we’re going talk about homelessness in Culpeper. Faith. What can you tell me about homelessness in Culpeper? homelessness, in Culpeper is definitely a bigger problem than what people realize. There are many individuals that are chronic have homeless for five, 10, 15 years, and then there’s a large population of people recently, experiencing homelessness due to the job economy. The housing market, not being able to find affordable housing and availability or becoming evicted because they’re unable to Maintain their rent. What is? A housing. So, affordable housing is supposed to be housing that does not exceed about 33% of your monthly income. However, most housing in this area for low income, for one bedroom apartment runs. Starting at about 1100 dollars, and for someone that may be like on disability, that’s only making about 900 dollars a month. They don’t even make enough to make the payment. Let alone only a third that. So do you think Affordable housing will help the homeless population. Think affordable housing will help the homeless population if actually becomes affordable if they base it more on a sliding scale based the individual individuals income rather than on percentages of the national average or the regional average. And the actual population of this area is right. Well, thank you, faith. For enlightening us on homelessness. You’re welcome.
The Podcast Process…
I have never created a Podcast, and quite honestly, I never thought that I would. I found that the Soundtrap website was the easiest to used. After watching the “how to” videos it was very easy to navigate through and manipulate your recording to have them the way you want them. I did my original recording on my iPhone. I am not “tech savy” so using my phone was the easiest way for me to be albe to record audio files and send them to myself for editing. The only time I used AI was for the image that was included. In all honesty, I think that I enjoyed this project the most of all that we have done so far.
