What's up cousin Jazz West?

Shout out to my D. My D says happy Wednesday.

Happy Wednesday.

Listen, it's hump day.

We made it through this week thus far.

I barely made it.

I barely made it.

I'm trying to tell y'all.

I wanted to stick on the house and piece and I will, but.

I want to talk more so about what is happening in our community as it pertains to housing, as it pertains to the youth.

So again, I am an educator by day.

A lot of students, whether I know them or not, whether it's the school I work for or not, them and their families are facing some very difficult times.

And when we are in certain positions and we agree to take certain take on certain positions in roles, especially as educators, we have to understand that our job is far beyond the description that is presented to us when that offer is made.

What do I mean by that?

So yes, you sign up to teach.

You sign up to lead you sign up to be a principal to be operations manager CEO Whatever it is you can be the lunch lady.

It doesn't matter at the end of the day You still have a responsibility outside of that contract as it pertains to how you choose to serve the students the youth in the community and what I will say is that I am Very disappointed

Very disappointed in how some people are choosing to handle certain situations when it comes to these babies and their families inside of the school system, right?

We have so many students, so many youth, so many families who are either homeless, living check to check, living with family members.

They have issues with transportation.

They have issues with food.

The last thing they need to issue with is their child getting to school on time.

The last thing they need is an issue with their child not being able to enter the school due to power, control, ego and a need to prove that they are the best at whatever it is that they do.

There is a school right now who created new guidelines and rules where the students have to arrive at 8.15 and in the event they arrive

Anytime after that they are not allowed into the school and I'm not talking about detention or for a specific time I am talking about they cannot attend school for the entire day Yes, I just said that I just said it.

I'm not responding to anybody I just I had to understand what I just said right because we think this we talk about it But to say it out loud is absurd.

There's a school The cutoff time is 815

If any students arrive after 8.15, even if it's one minute late, they are not allowed inside the building for the entire day.

The reason why I am merging this with housing is because a lot of reasons why some of these students are late is because of their housing situation, their transportation situation, the situation at home overall, right?

You have some students again who are homeless.

Some who live 30 minutes away.

Some who parents either don't have transportation and they gotta figure it out.

Either way, any child that walks to school, that drives to school, rides to school, if they are making it their duty to come to school, that means that they want to be there.

That means that they want, they are trying.

They can do so many different things, right?

They can get in trouble, they can be running the streets, all of the above.

So to turn a child away, because your rule says that they cannot come in the building after 8.15 or after that set time, or because you want to teach what?

Responsibility and structure?

Well, tell that to the mother who has seven children and is trying her hardest to make sure all seven of her children get to daycare school and work.

Tell that to the father.

who was trying to make sure that his household is together, but they are sleeping from house to house, or maybe even sleeping in a car or a shelter, right?

At the end of the day, again, when we are placed in these positions, it's not about ego, it's not about power, it's not about proving that you can do the job.

Obviously, we know you can do the job, which is why you are hired.

What it is about is a community.

That's what it's about.

It's about understanding the totality of the situation.

And we have a lot of people that I'm very disappointed in.

There's people that you would automatically assume, right, that the love that they have for black people and for the people in the community is going to supersede anything, right?

That's not the case.

Some of these people that are in positions, I'm going to say it need not to be in positions.

Point blank period.

Because as a parent,

If I'm already struggling and I send my baby to school and you turn my child away because the bus was late, the city bus, they had nothing to do with that.

Or because the Uber canceled and they had to find another one.

Or because we may work, woke up late because I got to work three jobs just to keep a roof over our head.

Oh, I'm acting a fool.

I promise you I am.

I'm acting a fool.

This is real life situations.

This is what we are dealing with.

I am tired.

So no, six o'clock is not gonna be about the latest news.

This is the latest news.

This is the latest news right here.

Get, go up to, so when I keep telling y'all to go up to these schools, this is what I'm talking about.

When I keep saying go up take what one hour and I get it some of y'all cannot afford to be late at work, but I'm telling you There is just some system set in place Where people got their own agendas and they are benefiting off of the backs of our babies And it is not cool whatsoever Right.

It's not cool.

I empathize with these families.

I empathize with the students

I am doing my best.

I'm only one person to fight this fight.

I'm doing my best to try and be what it is that God made me because I understand that a lot of our babies, they will be running the world pretty soon.

And if nobody is willing to stand up and fight in the system, then we all are doomed.

If we don't step in at some point in time,

When we get older we're gonna say I wish I paid attention a little more or I wish I fought a little more But goddamn it.

I'm tired.

I'm tired of always being the one to want to be held accountable and holding other people accountable I am tired of people putting on this facade as if it this is what it is when that and all Actuality that is not what it is.

I am tired right

Paint this picture of being an advocate in the community and being on the front lines and everybody.

Some people like to, you know, make it seem more glorious.

No, it's tiring.

What most importantly was even more tired is being a soldier for God.

I'm trying to tell you, right?

When you say I'm a child of God and I am doing my work, understand what that comes with.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

But I now understand what that comes with.

That comes with being the black sheep that comes with being the disruptor, the spiritual disruptor that comes with nobody having self accountability that comes with being blamed that comes with a lot.

Right.

When you walk into a space and all of the facade is broken down and bits and pieces and you can see right through it, you are the problem.

Because there are people who are actually out here acting as if they are for the community, but they are They just as bad as the system.

I'm talking about black people some black people They are a part of the problem.

They are making money off of our babies off of the school system The numbers the

fundings

and yet

They have absolutely no care in the world about the well-being of their students about these babies or their families.

And I'm tired.

I'm tired.

I'm tired of it.

I can't unsee what I see.

I cannot unsee what I see.

It's nothing I can do about it.

This is how God made me.

This is how I am going to be for the rest of my life.

Because somebody has to stand up and say something.

Oh, here go jazz again.

She on a rant.

Yup.

As soon as you walk through the door, oh, here she go.

Oh, look who it is.

Yep.

It is me.

What's up?

Because who else is going to do it?

Period.

The mental state that our babies are in, everybody keeps talking about the youth.

Everybody keeps saying that they running around here.

But I'm telling you, the mental state that they are in, they are coming to school, right?

Some have to help raise their siblings.

Some of their electricity is off.

Some don't have a place to live.

Some are dealing with grief because family members are passing or peers are passing.

Some are coping with drugs because they don't know nothing else to do but that.

And then you walk into a school and they say, so let me take the picture.

I wake up, my mom is a single mother.

I'm gonna use my real scenario as a teenager.

I'm the oldest of four.

My mom is a single parent.

My mom works at night.

So during the day, I have to get up, make sure I'm straight.

She gets up, make sure the other kids are straight, but I still have to play my part.

There is no extra money to buy me school clothes.

So not only do I have to work, I gotta have a side hustle.

I gotta do hair or lashes or whatever these kids are doing now to make money, right?

Maybe a little rough on food, right?

Past week has been rough.

We've been broke might have to eat cereal for breakfast lunch and dinner syrup sandwiches some sugar sandwiches You understand might gotta heat the kitchen up or the house with the oven You get what I mean might not have no running hot water or no washer and dryer for no clean clothes Don't have a car or transportation Which means I got to get up and still find a way to school I Go to school.

I miss my the city bus

because I'm trying to make sure my siblings is okay or that I get something on my stomach and I'm a couple minutes late and as soon as I walk to the door they slam it in my face and tell me that I am not allowed and I gotta go back to the crib.

What?

The Tap In with Jazz Tyler returns on the award-winning 101.7 The Truth, 101.7 The Truth YouTube channel, and 101.7TheTruth.com.

Hey, listen, I got to give a shout out to Mardwella Kirkendall, COO of Community Advocates.

We had an amazing conversation today about the housing crisis and the resources that they provide.

One of the things we talked about during the conversation was the need of stability when it comes to our youth and how they are able to be successful in school and outside of school when they have that stability.

Before we went to break, I'm sorry y'all, I had a long day I had to go on a rent because if don't nobody else reported who else will.

If I don't say it, who else is going to talk about it?

The issue that I am currently facing as an educator is understanding the mental health of my students.

Not just my students, but youth overall at this particular school.

They are challenge.

They are facing some challenges Mentally and it's so it's the most frustrating thing in the world when there's a system and agenda set in place and you keep like pox egg first you knock on a door Keep knocking then you start picking a lock then you start kicking the door down well right now I'm at the verge of kicking the door down Because if we don't get these babies some help

I'm telling you, it's going to be a problem, right?

And I get it, a lot of these parents, they can't afford to pull their children out of school and place them somewhere else, especially if they are a senior.

But some of the challenges we are facing is homelessness with the babies.

They are facing a crisis where the housing is overcrowded.

There is no hot water or they don't have a washer and dryer.

There is no transportation.

Inflation, when it comes to food and groceries, is becoming an issue.

Family members dying, friends dying.

Drugs is something that they use to cope, right?

All of the above, on top of some of them having children, some of them assisting with their siblings.

And the last thing they should have to worry about is whether or not they are able to enter their school building due to them being late.

Due to them being late over an issue that is not their issue.

If they're on public transportation, right?

And the bus is late, that's not their fault.

If they are at a house.

And it's not their home.

They're sleeping on somebody else's couch.

That's not their fault.

If their lights is off, that's not their fault.

If they have no food, that is not their fault.

But guess what?

They still woke up and decided, I'm going to go to school.

I'm going to go try my hardest to get through it, only to get there and be told that they cannot enter.

Or if I call because I know that my child is going to be late because my car didn't start.

or because there's an accident on the highway.

And your policy says that after this time, as long as you have a parent call or there's an excuse, then your child can enter.

And then they get there and they still can't enter.

That is absurd.

I don't care how anybody feels about it.

It sounds so minute, but when you think about the ripple effect, it's a problem.

When it's time for them to go to college, this is going to be on their record, the number of absences they have, right?

When you're talking about a child being absent, then that's when truancy comes into place.

And some parents don't have the ability to leave work, to change schools, to go up there to do whatever.

The only thing they can do is call.

Most importantly, in the event

They do arrive late.

I don't care if it's 30 seconds They are stuck outside in the middle of the inner city No way home no food no money parent can't leave their job.

There's just outside wondering It's going to take God forbid it's going to take something to happen to one of these babies for them to understand that this policy that they have in place is absurd

It's going to take something to happen to one of these students before they decide to say, you know what, that this cutoff time or not allowing them inside the school is a bit too much.

This is a problem.

This is a problem.

And if nobody else want to say anything about it, I'm going to say something about it.

Because the mental health, the way that this is impacting the families and the students, it's impacting me.

It impacts us, the class work.

If they can't show up, then some of the things we can't work on.

If they can't show up, if they're not allowed, then that means they're going to fail.

And then what do you do?

Just go about your business.

You go home to your happy life, to your husband, to your children, where you got heat in your house and food on your table.

or because somebody hasn't, let me tell you something, there is an agenda.

There's a lot of CEOs, a lot of elected officials, a lot of people who have agendas when it comes to systems that benefit them, and this is one of them cases.

Do I know that for sure?

No, but I know, I can see it.

If somebody keep telling you something is not working,

And how it is impacting the baby and you still choose to turn a blind eye.

You are a part of the problem.

I don't care what you say, how you feel you are a part of the problem.

As long as I have the ability to, I will always make sure that I am speaking for my people.

And right now, the people we need to be speaking to and for is the youth, because guess what?

They get blamed for everything.

So if you ride down the street in a specific area and you see students and they at the gas station at nine o'clock in the morning or they on a bus stop or they just wandering around, the first thing you're gonna think is they're skipping.

They're getting into trouble.

They become, let me explain something to you.

When you turn a child, specifically a black child away from school because they're late,

And we're not talking about hours late, but when you turn them away, they are more subject to getting into trouble.

Look at what's happening, right?

They become a target easily.

They can become a target, not just to the police, but just to a random person walking up and down the street.

So if you have this knowledge and you understand A,

We are in a society in the world today where there's a lot of crime happening.

People are getting robbed.

Children are coming up missing on a day-to-day basis.

Police are killing black people on a day-to-day basis.

And all they wanna do is come to school and they may be a little bit late and you gonna turn them around?

You are the problem.

You don't need to be in no position when it comes to education, period.

You are the problem.

And I'm telling you, I'm getting to the point where we gonna turn it up a notch.

We gonna turn it up a notch.

I promise you, I'm gonna stand 10 toes when it comes to these babies because I see how it affects them.

And I see how it affects the parents.

I'm not going to say the school name.

I don't have to.

They know who they are.

And I know they be paying attention or watching because when I go to work,

Sometimes they speak sometimes they don't so guess what if you listen and get it together because if you don't is going to be a problem a national problem a world problem Get it together There is no reason why any child should be turned away No reason whatsoever Especially if the parents are calling you know how hard it is nowadays

for parents to even try and be involved in what their child has going on because they got to work so much to keep a roof above their family's head and you want to send them away because they're late.

Sometimes they late because of whatever is happening in their life that has nothing to do with them.

Then they walk in there and they don't really see a lot of people that look like them.

You're striving on black excellence, but the leadership is all white.

Then you got transgenders walking around with a pee-pee print showing in skirts Making the kids uncomfortable Because you want you want them to feel accepted you can feel accepted all you want to but you better go put on some damn draws It don't make no sense it don't make no sense maybe education isn't for me Maybe it's not because I care

I'm not going to say I care too much because we all should care about the youth, but I care.

And at the end of the day, what's happening is not cool.

I grew up in a certain area.

I have been a part of some major community initiatives to make sure these babies have what they have, only for people in a wicked ways and their agendas.

We have people in leadership who are subject who are everything is about them and whatever they want to do whatever they want to accomplish and they're gonna step over Anybody including these children in order to get to where they want to go.

It's a lot of hush money going around as well People are being paid to not say nothing sit back and just watch Okay, cool Don't worry about it.

Let's see how this turn out

Uh, we gotta go to break at 6.42.

I am giving away two tickets to Bryson Tillers, your girl,

Jazz Tyler 1017, The

Truth.

101.7 the truth that should grow jazz Tyler.

We are live and direct on the award winning the 101.7 the truth Shout out to the chat Marty says Facts facts facts sweetie jazz black people love hush money big time man Listen, if you are just not joining us.

We had an amazing show talked about housing today My dweller Kerkendal COO of community advocates sat down with us provided us some information as well.

I've also been talking about

the school system and some of the challenges that our youth are facing.

And I'm tired, y'all.

I really am.

It is nothing that hurts more than to see the youth go through the things that they go through and feel like they have no voice.

I'm telling you, it is ridiculous turning youth away because they are five, 10 minutes late to school, not knowing everything they went through or whatever they have just to make it to school.

Right.

You are sending them every time you turn the child away.

You are sending them back to the streets.

Every single town, every single time.

So there's an article that just came out.

County funding, affordable housing in Shorewood, West Alice in Milwaukee.

So Urban Milwaukee put out an article today stating that there is apparently some

Milwaukee County funding that will assist with affordable housing in Sherwood, West Alice and Milwaukee.

And I'm eager to see, eager to see how this is going to play out.

I don't know what the stipulations are, what it looks like, but evidently they are expanding the housing crisis to surrounding areas.

I just want to say this, we did have a call earlier from someone who had an issue with community advocate and some other things and she began to blame, you know, the commissioner, elected officials, all of the above.

I just want to, this is not me being biased, but I just want to reiterate that sometimes when we are dealing with organizations who service the people, we have to start thinking about their workload.

Workload management, right?

If one person is over let's say 40 cases That means that they have to work with those 40 individuals every single day, right?

There is if I'm not mistaken 235,000 people That's in the actual city of Milwaukee and Out of those 235,000 people there is a certain amount of thousands of people who need assistance and

Everybody needs some form of type of assistance, but these specific individuals need a community advocate for whatever it is that they offer.

So in the event a case worker don't call back right away or somebody don't get to your application within 24 hours, just give them a little grace, right?

There's a lot that's happening and that don't just go for a community advocate.

That goes for anybody, any organization that is providing some type of service.

The workload is crazy.

The workload load right now is crazy.

Earlier I read, filings alone, there was over 12,000 filings of evictions this year.

That don't mean 12,000 people have been evicted.

That means that 12,000 landlords filed for eviction.

And when you see circumstances like that, the first thing that comes to mind is income.

something is happening to where people in the city of Milwaukee are not able to either keep up with rent.

Now this doesn't go, this doesn't apply for those who, you know, choose to be bad tenants or anything like that.

But for the most part, we can tell that there is a crisis.

So I just want us to have some type of grace.

Marty says, you end is black kids hope.

These parents are doing the bare minimum.

That's crazy.

Honestly, Mati, you know, it was crazy.

A lot of the families that I built relationships with for my students, they actually are some amazing parents.

They really are.

I don't care where they live at.

Majority of them, actually, every family that I come into communication with has been great, very supportive.

They just have, some of them have

rough situations, some of them are one parent households.

And again, when you sign up to have any position in the school system, you're not just signing up for that one position.

But also, I think you have to stop thinking subjectively, right?

Don't just stay in the way that you think it should work.

The problem that I have with some of these schools and some of the people out here who is doing the work and advocating,

is that everything is based off of the way they think it should be.

Everything is based off of how they feel.

Nobody is putting the babies first.

Nobody is putting the youth first.

If they were, we wouldn't have these situations or these problems.

My goal, let me explain something to you all.

I am somebody that comes from poverty.

Again, I am the oldest of four siblings in a single parent household.

So when we talk about Going to school, I don't know if y'all read the article in Shepherd Express that shout out to Tom Jens did but I caught the city bus to school back then we had flyers So that made it a little bit easier But the first two to three years at first two years of high school not even just school I caught the bus everywhere.

I think we all did And it still was a lot it wasn't easy sometimes we had a lot going on at home

So when I'm talking about it, I'm not just being emotional.

I'm not just doing it because I want to rent or expose people or systems.

It's because I literally understand what that feels like when you are trying your hardest to get up and go to school or a parent that's trying their hardest to get up and go to work.

I got lupus.

It's the wintertime coming.

It's been raining.

It's been hard for me to get out the bed every day.

But I know, hey, my family needs me.

B, these babies need me too.

So I don't have a choice.

So I can only imagine how it feels when a child is trying their hardest and they get denied because they are late.

I'm just saying simply this.

If you are in any field where you are working with families, whether it be adults or children, if you do not understand to its entirety what is happening in this community, then you need to find a different profession.

You can you have to take everything into consideration This is how suicide race increase This is how people end up breaking and spazzing out because people are playing games for money for status People are so focused on them and how they look and what it looks like But again when you put them draws off they funky

Look good on the outside, but it's a little funky on the inside.

That's how some of these people that are operating in these positions are.

They wanted to look good.

They wanted to look good to get the money.

But when you go to the court and you go inside of that system and you talk to the people that they are affecting, 90% of these babies are going to tell you the truth.

And that's what some are afraid of.

That's what some are afraid of, and that's the truth.

That is the truth.

Marty says, back in the day, I was pushed a LTD Ford Money 78 beautiful car at 17.

And you know what?

Back in the day, I think it was a little bit easier, Marty, to have some stuff for yourself, right?

Nowadays, I don't know if that's the case.

It's a little rough.

It's a little rough out here.

So, Truth Nation, it's about that time.

Marty says four point forty nine cents a gallon his different today man.

Listen my gas is about five dollars and nineteen cents a gallon Every time I go to the pump I'm telling you it be stressing me out Why does this cost so much?

Why does this cost so much?

Um Let's see here.

I want to go to the other chat

We got Corday says there are other races that live together Tell the truth is the black culture at 18 year grown and out the house stop turning a blight eye on the truth.

I have no idea Who's turning a blight eye on the truth, but all right Yeah, based off our conversation earlier seems like we addressed everything.

I think some people just like to rage bait Anywho

Marty says, great job, Jazz.

Peace and blessings.

Thank you so much, Marty.

Again, it's been a long, long, long week.

It's a lot happening.

A lot of people are dealing with situations.

And before I get off air, I just want to say this.

We are not perfect human beings by any means, right?

We are all our flawed.

And the last thing I will ever attempt to do is

to hold someone else accountable without holding myself accountable first.

So whenever I hold people accountable, understand that I check myself first.

I am not attempted to disrupt anybody.

I understand this is how people eat.

I get it.

But at the end of the day, right is right and wrong is wrong.

And one of the issues that we have in Milwaukee is that people are so bent on making sure that they make money so their family is taken care of while other families struggle and starve.

and is a part of the system that they are benefiting off of.

And I just simply cannot be that person.

So when you hear me speak on certain things, especially when it comes to the youth, it's because I was that youth.

I was that person.

And had it not been for certain people, certain educators, I would not be where I am today.

And at the end of the day, again, right is right and wrong is wrong.

And I am simply tired of

the shenanigans.

I'm tired of people putting on a deceit, you know, making things seem this way.

And it's really another way because it's all about the money.

And that's the problem.

I don't want to hear it no more, right?

And there are so many people who are afraid to speak up because they'll lose their job.

There are people who are afraid to speak up because, again, ego and pride, meaning that when they do speak up, there's retaliation involved, right?

Every time I've gotten on here and spoke up about these incidents, they nitpick with me.

Guess what?

I'm a big girl.

I can handle it.

I really can't.

What I can't handle is to sit in the face of youth who faces these challenges in this system and not say anything, right?

And just sit there and just like, hey, we all just gotta deal with it.

No, no, I can't.

Cannot I refuse to I won't do it doesn't matter if I work there if I don't work there I'm going to say something until somebody actually change and was even crazier is the people that you think People who have fought people that you think will show up.

They don't They don't They don't that's just the truth They they appear as they do but they don't so I invite all of my good people

in the city of Milwaukee, and I said all of my good people.

When you run into situations where you are an educator or you are trying to stand up against a system in people who are power hungry, money hungry, status hungry, please understand that you do not have to fight that fight by yourself.

You do not have to fight that fight by yourself.

With that being said, Truth Nation, we gonna go home, go to sleep, and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Hopefully we'll be able to get some things done when it comes to these systems.

Till then, keep up the good fight, enjoy your evening, sit back, relax.

Spin up tomorrow, spin back tomorrow, 4 p.m.

to 7 p.m.

with your girl, Jazz Tyler, on tap, and have a great, even in Milwaukee peace.

That's insane.

That is insane.

We got to go to break and pay our first bill after the break.

I'm showing you what happened to Milwaukee rent over just a few years.

And then we are talking maybe your grown child moving home isn't failing.

Maybe everybody paying for separate housing bills is the questionable financial decision.

She girl just Highland.

Do not go anywhere.

One on one seven the truth.

101.7 the truth is your girl Jaz Tyler.

We are live and direct at the award-winner 101.7 the truth.

Hey, listen, please do not forget to like and subscribe to our YouTube channel 101.7 the truth.

You can also follow me on social media.

That's tap in MKE tap in MKE or the Jazzy effect.

Shout out to the chat.

Shout out to my 18 Trina.

She says, good afternoon family is so important and it's our job to check on them and support our elders.

That is absolutely correct.

Doesn't matter what society says.

Again, I grew up in a household where my aunts, my mother, everybody took care of my grandmother.

Never put her in a nursing home.

Um, if we all got to come together, that's what we got to do.

That is what family is for.

Uh, we are going to the, uh, phone lines a 3 3 2 1 2 1 0 1 7.

Please call in.

Um, is it okay for us to be moving back in together?

Can families afford to live separately anymore?

Uh, we have James on the line.

James, are you there?

Yes, yes, yes.

How are you doing?

I am well.

How are you?

Good good good.

Hey a couple things is a little off the little off-subject, but um, I can't agree with you on The first month last month RIP stuff like that the first month last month and security policy, you know These people, you know moving your house.

Mm-hmm.

They carry your house.

I mean not all tenants but

From a landlord perspective, I say seven out of 10 of my people that moved in my house was terrible.

When you a victim, the court system, first of all, you spend a lot of money going to court.

It takes months, three, four, five, sometimes six months rent.

I mean, six months to even get somebody out your house.

So I kind of agree with most of the landlords charging that and the people abused that in the COVID thing.

You know, I understand.

I kind of agree with you about the price gouges, like the $1,700, $1,500, $1,300, or too bad when that's a ridiculous state day.

Some landlords taking advantage of it.

I mean, if I was a renter,

I wouldn't pay that.

But I mean, I kind of grew to on that.

But for landlord perspective, I, you know, I don't plan in landlord.

I just don't blame them.

You know,

these people and then, you know, I have been shot at.

People stick their bags on me just because I asked for for the rent money.

You try to go through one of those companies that that that take care of the property for you.

They whip y'all and it's just kind of like a loose loose or some of these landlords, but rather I don't see how you do it.

I just don't see how you do it.

Honestly, James, I want to, while I have you as a member, I want to ask you because I agree.

I agree with the fact that people do mess up houses and stuff like that.

But do we think that that's an issue where we have to, because the reason why I say I'm opposed to it is because there are landlords who are using it to be prejudice against people, right?

It's like that one book fits all situation.

I think the courts have to change.

I think the amount of time it takes to get someone out your house, I think that needs to change because we're in an inflation right now.

So somebody who necessarily don't have the income but has perfect history as a tenant, I don't think they should be penalized.

But in the same breath, to your point, I understand why it was set in place.

I'm just noticing that a lot of white landlords, some black.

are charging this because they are being prejudiced towards a group of people they don't want them in their neighborhood or in their house.

I agree with you on that.

I agree with you on that.

One last thing before I get off the line.

I'm going to tell you this too.

I believe in second chances in life.

You know, I'm going to tell you this and you might don't want to believe it, but someone

some of some of my best tenants with the ones that had evictions on their records because I actually one young lady and she was like um sir you gave me a chance um you know I appreciate I messed up I screwed up and I see how things is I'm leaving second chance but the ones who had perfect credit good stuff I mean they just they oh man it's like they take off they come in there with

with a mask on.

And once you get them in there, they take that mask off.

You'd be like, this ain't the same person I ran into.

You can't even believe it.

It'd be like, you know, and that's why I don't even go by that.

That probably when people talk about running your credit and all that stuff, I never did none of that.

I

met

the person.

Right.

I met the person and try to feel the person see how they was.

So what, you had a vision.

Okay, I understand you got to a vision and never saw the best people that that I've dealt with honestly.

Yeah, it's seriously.

Alright, let me let you go and keep up the good work.

Absolutely.

Thank you so much for tapping in with us.

And to James's point, like at the end of the day, I do understand that landlords have to do what they have to do.

So I get both sides.

I believe that we just have to figure out a balance, right?

Because it isn't fair for someone to have to pay all of that when they don't have any issues with or haven't had any issues in the past with being a great tenant, right?

And to his point, some people come in with.

good credit and mess it up because they know they can go somewhere else, right?

But I think we are just living in a time where the landlord, the tenant, everybody, if you own a business, we have to figure out ways to help everybody, right?

So I would encourage a lot of landlords to start working in partnership with

Community advocates and we energies or whoever just different entities and organizations that provide wraparound services because that's exactly what a lot of people need Some of the people and this isn't to take up for them But I can imagine that some people who do go in and tear up people houses Some of them probably just feel like they don't have nothing to lose especially if they know there's nowhere else for them to go They just don't care.

That was a last chance

Uh, again, we just got to find a balance.

So I want to tap back into the facts, which is data.

Uh, what happened to Rick?

So Milwaukee County's rental marketplace publishes, HUD fair market rich marks.

Um, so right now in the fish, well, not right now, but in 2021 for a studio, it was, uh, $663.

Uh, granted that was during the pandemic.

So prior to that it may have been a little bit different, but currently it is nine hundred and thirty nine dollars Roughly a forty two percent increase one bedroom was eight hundred and three dollars today It is one thousand and fifty six dollars, which is roughly thirty one percent increase in two thousand and twenty one a two bedroom apartment costs one thousand two hundred and fifty seven dollars a three bedroom costs one thousand

$558 in a four bedroom, $1,701.

All of that has increased.

Again, if you are in the market and you are looking at houses, what's happening is, especially with the duplex, let's say you have a three bedroom duplex in Washington Heights, that is going for about $1,900.

$1,900 for a three bedroom one bath duplex.

In Washington Heights, so you're paying for to me.

You're paying for the area, right?

That's absurd, especially because in the modern houses and apartments, no one just has one bathroom anymore.

A lot of houses have to.

So to be paying almost $2,000 a month to live upstairs from someone is insane.

So let's say you make $20 an hour, right?

And you work 40 hours a week.

That's about $41,600 annually.

Gross Now when we take the taxes out that's only about 300.

I'm sorry 3,467 dollars a month 30% is about $1,040 So under the traditional affordability benchmark housing around $1,000 is where the math points Reason why I bring this up is because when you apply for certain houses

There are stipulations.

There are requirements that you must meet, right?

You must make or gross 2.5 times the income.

Sometimes it's three, so on and so on.

But I don't believe that people are taking the inflation into consideration because again, you can make $41,000.

um a year if this was 2021 if this was 2022 23 you would qualify right now the past year from 2025 to 2026 you would not qualify because of the inflation right and again that's based on gross income so um i want to make it real with the clear uh hypothetical situation right two adults two kids

Let's say the combined income is $5,000 total that they bring in a month.

So if rent is $1,500, utilities is $300, groceries for four people, $800.

You got your car insurance, your car note, $450.

Depending on where you live, your car insurance is going to increase.

That's $200.

Let's say gas is $200 a month, phones and internet is $200.

Children expenses 400 you got to pay 200 for medical and other miscellaneous household items stuff like that $350 out of that $5,000 that family is only left with $400 and We haven't even saved for a retirement or college for a birthday for a school any of those things So what's happening is due to the inflation due to these things families are not able to even

Start a savings account or save anything because every dime every penny is accounted for We got to go to break coming back.

I'm challenging something.

We've been taught for generations Your child turns 18 leaves and everybody maintains a separate household My question is is independence becoming economically and inefficient Could it be the day and age where we all need to join together and move back into the household in order to build

wealth, it should grow at

You are officially tapped in with your girl Jaz Tyler 101.7 The Truth.

Today we are talking about housing.

We are talking about housing, the state that we are in currently with inflation.

Is it okay for families to begin to come back together and live due to the inflation?

At the five o'clock hour, I have Maudwella Kerkendal, the COO of Community Advocates.

We will be sitting down with him getting his take on what it means to be on the front lines when it comes to the housing crisis.

I just wanted to throw out a couple of facts there.

before we finish this segment.

So when it comes to evictions, Milwaukee County has approximately 196,106 renters rent her households with the medium rent of $1,139 per month, right?

So 2023 through 2024, there were a total of 1,099 eviction foulings.

year to date, 8,355 evictions filed the past 12 months.

This is as of 2026, 12,117 total fileings representing a 9% decrease from the historical baseline.

That is still a lot.

So I want to make something clear though.

Uh, a filing versus an actual eviction are two different things.

So you can have filings and people can still go back and pay their rent and then they don't get kicked out, but 12,117 filings total is insane.

And to me, what that means that there is an issue.

I'm not going to blame an elected official and say that.

They're not doing their job when it comes to the housing crisis because they are.

It's not them, it's the inflation.

It's things that we have no control over.

Some of these things are due to less funding that comes from Washington, comes from the dude that run this country.

There's all types of things that's happening.

But I wanted to put those numbers out there so that you guys can have an idea of what we're facing as far as the housing crisis.

So let's go into a scenario your daughter.

Let's say she graduates at the age of 22 She gets a job for $50,000 and what's the first thing first thing you tell her to get her own place?

I just want to reiterate $50,000 a year and today's economy is not a lot $50,000 a year and today's economy is not a lot Let's say she gets the apartment, right?

She has to pay rent utilities internet furniture insurance groceries parking She can easily spend tens of thousands annually maintaining that independent household While mama has an empty bedroom again.

I'm not saying that everybody should live with a mama forever, right?

So don't call me saying that I told you to tell your 46 year old son who been playing at playstations downstairs in your basement that he is okay to live with you forever.

That is not the case.

I am talking about being intentional.

I am talking about what happens in the other ethnic groups, right?

Oftentimes we make jokes about certain ethnicities and how many people live in a house and all of this and all of that.

Well, while they are inside of the house, they are also building businesses.

They are also allowing everybody to save so that they can be independent, right?

If that's what they choose to do.

But ultimately, I feel like we have to get back to that.

Right.

You have to do whatever makes sense for your household.

Now, if you are the type of person who just don't get along with people, you don't like people in your space.

You don't want to live with nobody.

Trust me.

I get it.

I understand.

But I'm telling you the rate that we're going now, and I know you guys see it when you go to the pump, when you go to the gas station, right?

There's issues.

A lot of times I'm going to be honest as a parent.

One of the main issues we have when our adult children come back and live with us is they don't want to with young adults They don't want to abide by our rules See mama didn't work hard daddy didn't work hard, right?

They in retirement mode or they are already in a space where it's like listen, I raise you I Did everything I could I made sure you

you know, was successful, make sure as you graduate from school, got a good job that you are well taken care of.

I need a break.

I need to breathe.

All of these things, right?

I just don't want to be bothered.

Then you may have grandchildren, which means that now you can't walk around the house, you know, the way you used to, or you just can't have that a long time.

The problem is parents, no matter how old our children becomes, we are never stopped going to be parents.

We're always going to be their parents, no matter what.

And at the end of the day, again, in today's society, everybody needs everybody.

Everybody needs everybody.

I truly believe that eventually we are going to get to the point.

I'll be talking to my older sister about this all the time.

Which one about land and try to build a compound?

like we're really trying to purchase land to build a compound.

A compound is almost like what you see on the TV shows where you buy a whole bunch of land and then everybody has their own house or, you know, own space on that land.

No matter how far apart it is from the other, the more of the story is, let's figure out a way to do it all together so that we can, you know, it can be cost effective.

And if that doesn't work, well...

Got gonna have to buy a house big enough for everybody to move in it at some point because the way we're going Nobody is going to be able to afford to live the way that they want to live on their own Right.

Nobody's going to be able to do that.

So Again, I'm not saying do it recklessly where you're just taking on someone who don't want to be successful or somebody who's lazy and don't want to work We have to become very intentional about this

We have to become intentional, not just from a cost-effective stance, but if there are, if you have a four bedroom house and three other people are staying there and they are working, whether it's your children, your brother, your sister, your parents, whoever, think about how much money you can save.

So let's say you got four bedrooms, it's four people, everybody's working.

Let's say your rent is $2,000.

That's $500 a piece.

You understand what I'm saying?

$500 apiece that everybody would be willing to commit to pay towards rent.

Then you got your electricity bill at a four bedroom house depending on the heating system.

It can range between $150 to maybe $200.

You divide that up by four people too.

Divide the groceries up by four people, right?

Now you have extra income.

Now you're able to save, but don't do it.

Don't save so that you can spend.

on things that don't mean anything.

You want to be able to save your funds so that you can begin to build a business, right?

Build a family business.

Be intentional if you are going to do this.

So here's another hypothetical situation.

Let's say your grandma's house costs $1,100, right?

Daughter's house costs $1,500 a month.

Your son paying $1,300 a month in rent.

That is $3900 a month that everybody is paying separately, $46,800 total a year.

Just three separate households.

That's just rent alone.

That's not including bills, food, any of that, right?

If an appropriate larger property allows you to live intentionally together for $2,200 a month.

The difference is $1,700 a month and $20,400 a year.

So over five years before changing costs, that's more than $100,000.

What could that do inside of one family?

That can reduce the amount of debt you owe.

You'll be able to create an emergency savings plan.

You might be able to pay for education, down payment on something, business capital, retirement property, whatever the case may be.

You'll have extra income and you'll be able to save.

So instead of automatically asking, why are all those people living together?

Maybe we should ask, what are they building together?

Maybe that should be the question, right?

And I'm not romanticizing, uh, overcrowding.

That's not what I'm doing, right?

10 people are forced to, uh, inadequate housing because nobody can afford anything else is housing insecurity, right?

What I'm talking about is being intentional with multi-generational housing.

When this is planned, enough bedrooms, privacy, accessibility, maybe separate entrances, a duplex, a four-unit apartment building, an in-law suite, whatever the case may be, design it to fit your needs specifically.

But at the end of the day, what we have to learn to do is how to pivot.

When inflation comes, no matter

Let me just say this.

It doesn't matter what black people or brown people are hit with.

One thing we know how to do is survive.

We've been surviving many years in this country.

We know how to get by.

We know how to make something out of nothing.

Absolutely.

That's not a question.

But what's questionable is how intentional are we in doing so, right?

You do all that work and you scrap and you make it happen just to be able to say, yeah, I did that.

I went through this hard time and I was able to do that.

I found the way.

Okay, but do you want to continue to always have to find

a

way?

Or do you want to be intentional about what exactly it is that you are building so that you don't wound up in the same situation that you've always been?

We got to go to break.

Coming back, I am going to give you stats that changes this conversation.

We love telling people to work harder.

and budget better.

But what happens when affordable housing literally, literally doesn't exist?

That's what we're talking about next.

And at the five o'clock hour, we have the COO of Community Advocates, Maudwella, Kerkendale, will be in the building.

We are going to have a great conversation with him as well.

Do not touch that dial.

dot com 1017

the truth man means back there getting it in today what up me brother Z listen we are talking about

housing in the housing crisis.

Today, can families actually afford to live separately any more?

That is the question that I have for you, Truth Nation.

I want to hear from you, 833-212-1017.

We got out on the line.

Al, what's the word?

Well, my answer is yes.

It depends on how you move and groove.

I would not refer affordable housing to nobody.

because it keeps you destitute, it keeps you stuck.

Only thing you get is people with a bunch of problems and three green dumpsters that's picked up and put back crooked by waste management.

And they only throw on them in black neighborhoods because they don't want you to do better.

Because if you look at logic, if I got you stuck on paying $175 for a five bedroom, why would you move?

Wouldn't you rather be able to do what you want?

go in any room you want and don't have a red door or live somewhere on Longhorn or Third Street and have to worry about your house smelling like weed and listening to somebody get their ass beat down the hallway.

That's the only thing they do on the north side anyway.

And that's the only thing your politicians feel you're good for.

Give them some low income.

Give them a full pension and a mental health best.

That's all you got to give them.

The women back in the day, like our mothers, you wouldn't dare catch them moving into an affordable house.

You wouldn't dare catch them settling for those 673 because them women was proud to say I wasn't on a goddamn well sale.

But now today.

Don't get to a three-bedroom for $150 a month and you could drive you a C-Class machine with the service soon light on.

But a lot of black people, they don't even like affordable housing because it brings the wrong crowd and it dumps black people down.

I always tell people, whatever you put your mind to, you can do it.

But I would never ever suggest a person moving into a low-income housing.

I'm telling you this, you keep people mentally stuck.

They won't have to do better.

And next thing you know, oh, I got my two-bedroom for $50 a month.

I'm straight.

Along with that beta-malibu and that Nissan Sentra, you got to look into the mindset because if your politicians and if the people around you were smart,

They wouldn't want you to move into an affordable house.

That's 673, a bunch of kids and some dude who come in your house talking about this, my sugar, honey, ice tea.

Don't be a fool, go to school and be a co-dependent thing.

Don't be an independent thinker, not a co-dependent thinker.

And if they tell you to go affordable house and say, God damn it, you move in it.

Because you can buy a house if you put your mind to it.

And you can do that with our Jesus Christ.

It just takes dedication, determination, inspiration to provide and elevate yourself.

Have a good day.

Buzz, bar to you.

Tropical punch.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much, Al, for tapping in.

So to Al's point, I do agree to a certain extent.

However, I do understand that some people

Depending on how they were raised depending on their situations Coming up, right?

We're not taught certain things or they just had a rough life.

So To completely exit out afford a house affordable housing.

I can't agree with Affordable housing have helped me, right?

I don't think it's a matter of us not having it

I think it's a matter of the core issue, which is making sure that we are preparing our people to understand that you are not supposed to live on it for a certain amount of time.

So again, that accountability goes back to whoever is offering the services.

For example, when I was, I got pregnant at the age of 18 and I was the oldest out of four siblings.

My mom raised all four of her children by herself.

so our upbringing was rough.

We made it because I was mature enough to understand that I needed to step up to the plate.

So when my boyfriend at the time went out of town to play college basketball, I went with him, ended up getting pregnant with my son, moved back to Milwaukee at the age of, what was I, still 18.

Apply for rent assistance.

This is when Mr. Dante was down here working at the housing authority.

They had a lottery.

They said, my sister said, hey, apply for rent assistance.

You might get it.

They doing a lottery pick.

Apply for it in October and the next year.

I want it.

Six months later, I got rent assistance, something that people were staying on for years, right?

It took years for them to get it.

I had my son.

At 19 I Ended up moving into my first apartment, which was aloft At the age of 19 on rent assistance at that time rent was the the basement was $653 for a two bedroom I Got off of rent assistance when I was 22 so by the age of 20 I had two children and

I still was on rent assistance.

I was working a job.

I was driving school buses, taking care of my business.

I had a plan and a vision.

By the time I hit 22 years old, I let rent assistance go because I no longer needed it.

Nobody taught me that.

Nobody mentioned it to me.

It was just something that I felt like I needed to do.

It was something that motivated me to not want to stay on it for so long, but I understood that I needed it at that time.

So when we talk about the affordable housing, we talk about when assistance is any type of assistance, I don't think it's a matter of us taking it away or saying that we shouldn't have it.

I think it's a matter of us motivating and providing resources so that people who are on it, they have a timeline.

You cannot stay on a rent assistance forever.

You cannot stay on an affordable housing forever, right?

But also provide them with the alternative option, how they used to have the rent to buy programs and all of that stuff, set those things back up, right?

Yes, we shouldn't be in affordable housing our entire life.

We shouldn't be allowed to pay a certain amount, but then we're driving the bins, pulling up in projects.

That makes absolutely no sense.

However,

If nobody is teaching them, our people, what it means to have a plan, right, and that this is not a plan for you to stay on forever, but is a stepping stool to help you, then what are they going to do?

They are going to stay in affordable housing for the majority of their life.

We have a caller on the line, White Widow, are you there?

Yes, I am.

Thanks for taking my call.

No problem.

Thank you so much for calling.

Yeah, I want to speak first hand about these evictions.

Someone needs to go down there and sit as I did.

You have a Commissioner Wheaton burger, and I watched it.

A sister comes in with her young daughter.

When you get an eviction notice, you sit for 30 days wondering if you're going to have a roof over your head with your children.

She walks in with scrubs, missing a bear or a young girl with her, gets in front of Commissioner Wheaton's burger, with suits behind her.

I don't understand, ma'am.

I don't owe any rent.

Oh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

Does he have to prove that I owe it?

Nah, just in case later.

Huh!

Does he have to prove, Wheaton Burger, that I got damages?

Nah, just in case.

I flipped on her decision.

There was no eviction, but people have to know once those landlords' file is on CCAP.

Process.

And landlords are not gonna rent you if you have eviction in process.

Oh yeah, it took a year.

I flipped.

I took that landlord to trial.

Judge says you've got to come in here and make me have 12 jurors waste their time I think yes, and then I want to let it do a judge.

You're right.

You can decide clearly.

I'll let go of the jurors.

Oh,

yeah, two and a half hour trial.

It took the judge six weeks to come back.

20 minute dissertation.

This was illegal.

I have never seen anything like this before.

So community advocate that got coming on.

They got a full-time attorney.

How many people have you represented or have sat down in that courthouse and seen this happen time and time again?

You've got mediation that we're paying for a community advocate.

How many landlords are willing to go down there with a tenant, hold hands and sing John Lennon songs when they know they got him by his short hair and they got a crooked commissioner that they can fast track and fix shit on?

So yeah, it is a problem with our elected officials.

And I'm not talking of a newspaper.

I'm not talking from internet.

I'm talking.

I was there.

Why didn't one of you people go and sit through that court?

Anybody can walk in there on a fiction date.

They only have it on certain dates.

They get you in the back room, so no one else sees what's going on with you.

It's disgusting.

So yeah, it is our politicians.

And yeah, you've got commissioners that got no problem with fast tracking people on evictions.

And not everybody's like me.

I'm Irish.

I don't care if you take a nickel.

A nickel.

And I flipped it, and I just, yeah, $5,000 I got from that landlord who I never owed a dime to.

And the judge said, there, keep him here for 10 minutes.

He had smoke coming out of his nose.

I'm a layperson.

I'm a section worker.

And I had enough to do that.

So what's community advocate?

How many people have you represented down in court?

landlords do you have it there?

Oh, we have a tenant and landlord?

You know, should it be the Asian?

Yeah, both.

It's another nonprofit organization who's doing nothing.

I ain't seen them down at the courthouse not once.

I'll be back down there again and doing my eighth state felony pardon that I do for free for brothers and sisters out there because they can't afford 10,000.

Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for calling in and we are going to address this because we have Monduella Kerkendal coming in here shortly.

We got to go to break.

Tap in.
