Triggers and Predictors of HomelessnessThe path to homelessness is not a single event that occurs right before the emergence into homelessness. Most information you will find on the subject of homelessness focuses on the experience faced immediately before their entry into homelessness, however, homelessness is a complex series of events over a lifetime that blindly leads a person somewhere they never intended to be, because the road to homelessness is really an accumulation of triggers over time. Another major factor is not just the events, but the affect the events have on the individual.Some triggers can occur to one individual who may never become homeless, while another can be seriously affected. Triggers most often start in childhood. It is the combination of problems that compound the situation where homelessness can occur. When looking back at the events that led someone down the path of homelessness, a overwhelmingly dominate event is frequent or disruptive childhood moves. Many homeless individuals have a history of constantly moving during their childhood. Moving is a major stressor for anyone. The movement from one place to another often involves separation from the people and places one knows.With each new move entirely new relationships must be formed. This can be done, but when the process of moving is repeated frequently it can become increasingly stressful. This process is difficult for children, especially if changing schools is necessary for the move. The lack of reliable relationships creates isolation and insecurity. Constantly moving does not necessarily indicate that a child will be at risk for homelessness in the future. Nevertheless, it is cited because it is often associated with instability on the part of the parents.Even in those individuals who never became homeless but frequently moved, it was seen that they had difficultly forming strong bonds, preferring superficial relationships which were easier to end.When combined with alcoholism or violence within the home the damaging effects of this insecurity can be overwhelmingHealth as a indicator that someone may be homelessPoor and untreated health can contribute to someone being homeless and can lead to extremely severe health problems, if only because their small health problems are never taken care of. Limited access to health care can make it worse.Denver actually has a facility at 2130 Stout Street in Denver, the Stout Street Clinic. “We are excited that the new Health Center and Lofts will immediately create a health care home for more than 18,000 individuals experiencing homelessness in Metro Denver, as well as a real home for families and individuals currently living on the streets or in emergency shelters. We are grateful that the community has come together to support this vital resource in the struggle to end homelessness in Colorado.” John Parvensky, president of the Colorado Coalition for the HomelessThat's why the health of homeless people in the United States is worse than that of the general population. Common health problems includeMental health problemsSubstance abuse problemsBronchitis and pneumoniaProblems caused by being outdoorsWound and skin infectionsMany homeless women are victims of domestic or sexual abuse. Homeless children have high rates of emotional and behavioral problems, often from having witnessed abuse.The National Center on Family Homelessness: How might a person appear to be homeless when looking through their eyes?Family homelessness is caused by the combined effects of lack of affordable housing, extreme poverty, decreasing government supports, the challenge of raising children alone, the changing demographics of the family, domestic violence, and fractured social supports. As the gap between housing costs and income continues to widen, more and more families are at risk of homelessness. For families with vulnerabilities or little safety net, even a seemingly minor event can trigger a catastrophic outcome and catapult a family onto the streets.Families experiencing homelessness are under considerable stress. They may stay in multiple settings throughout the time they are without a home. Many double-up in overcrowded apartments with relatives or friends. Others sleep in cars and campgrounds or send their children to stay with relatives to avoid shelter life. Once in shelter, families must quickly adjust to overcrowded, difficult, and uncomfortable circumstances. Despite the efforts of dedicated staff, many shelters are noisy and chaotic, overcrowded and lacking privacy. Homelessness also increases the likelihood that families will separate or dissolve, which may compound the stress the family feels.Domestic ViolenceThose fleeing domestic violence are more likely to become homeless or have a problem finding housing because of their unique and often urgent circumstancesThose experiencing domestic violence often time have difficulty finding apartments due to poor credit, rental, and employment histories as a result of their abuse.Those experiencing domestic violence often time have a limited ability to collect and/or enforce child support and alimony payments.Women in violent relationships are rules that govern public housing. Through a “one strike” policy, women may be evicted for a violent activity regardless of the cause or the circumstances. Although the eviction of women in domestic violence situations might violate federal and state housing acts, few states provide mandatory protection for these women and children.The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)HUD defines someone as chronically homeless if he or she is homeless now, has one or more disabling conditions and has been homeless continuously for a year or more or has had four or more homeless episodes in the previous three years.This definition applied only to single adults through 2009, when the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Truansition to Housing Act extended it to include families with a parent who meets the same criteria.The definition includes individuals who are exiting an institution (including a jail, substance abuse or mental health treatment facility, hospital, or other similar facility) where they resided for fewer than 90 days and who resided in an emergency shelter or place not meant for human habitation immediately before entering that institution. [1]Many people experiencing chronic homelessness have been on the streets or in shelters for years. They often have complex physical, mental, and substance use conditions that can only be ameliorated if they have a safe, stable, and secure living environment. Their homelessness may exacerbate health difficulties, making it increasingly unlikely that they can get back into housing on their own. Many people who experience chronic homelessness are not effectively engaged in treatment or ongoing care for their chronic health conditions, mental health or substance use disorders. They may be distrustful of treatment systems or mainstream health care providers, and they may find it difficult to access care or participate in treatment programs because they are focused on meeting other priorities such as finding food or shelter.Further, many people who experience chronic homelessness make frequent and avoidable use of emergency rooms and inpatient hospital treatment.4 This use of expensive crisis public services has been a major motivator for developing PSH, which has been shown to help tenants reduce inappropriate use of services. The supportive services offered in PSH can help tenants access more appropriate primary care and treatment, learn or restore coping and independent living skills that have been impaired by disability, and avoid actions or resolve problems that could cause them to lose their housing again and return to homelessness and previous expensive patterns of crisis health service use.Essential to improving the services nonprofits provide is performance managementThe United States is unique among other high-income countries in its reliance on the “third sector”—nongovernmental organizations—to deliver the mix of services and supports its citizens need. From the beginning, the United States has been a society that has emphasized themes of limited government, reserving a large role for independent organizations. But with this important role, comes responsibility. Nonprofits deliver essential services in every city and community in the United States, from housing those who lack shelter to feeding those who lack food to training those who lack work or education. Brett Theodos, Lindsey Buss, Mary Winkler, Sara McTarnaghan November 2016[2]Ultimately, what can make a person appear to be homeless?Lack of Affordable HousingIn a detailed analysis of the US rental market, the National Low-Income Housing Coalition concluded that our country is experiencing a significant and prolonged shortage of affordable housing. Pelletiere, D. (2006). The Rental Housing Affordability Gap: Comparison of 2001 and 2003 American Housing Surveys. The National Low-Income Housing CoalitionPoverty & Affordable HousingAmong the nation’s working families, 10 million are poor or nearly poor. Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University.1.7 million housing units are needed to fill the gap in affordable housing for extremely low-income households.One in seven US households – 37.3 million – has severe housing cost burdens. Most of these households (78%) are in the bottom quarter of the income distribution (earning $23,000 or less annually).Among the nation’s working families, 10 million are poor or nearly poor. 15% of all American families and 32% of single parent families lived below the Federal Poverty Line in 2006 and many families do not earn adequate wages.More than appearing to be homeless: The 2015 data collected by the Boulder Bridge House (Ready to Work) program[3]In their own words:VeteransOver 13% of residents are veterans who have served our country, but who are struggling to stay on their feet. Many are not getting the benefits they are entitled to under law. We help veterans to process the paperwork so that they can receive the medical and financial assistance they deserve.WomenApproximately 30% of the people that walk through our doors are women. The issues homeless women face around safety and security are different from those facing men.There are estimates that nearly 40% of the homeless population suffers from some kind of mental illness. The Ready to Work program leaders see this statistic reflected in their clients, most of whom either don’t know they are ill or are unaware of services that can help them.This program has a mental health outreach worker who meets with people one-­on-­one. They also have group counseling through their weekly HOPE Group. We provide funds for psychiatric prescriptions and work with their partners at Clinica and Mental Health Partners to get people the services they need. Though anyone can come from out-­of-­state, local Boulder, Colorado residents make up a large part of the residents at Bridge House. While many people think the homeless population flocks to places like Boulder for services, a large majority are locals.A full 60% of their residents are originally from Boulder County. The staff and program managers work hard to instill a sense of community at Bridge House for all their clients. They have regular holiday gatherings, art classes, and regular meetings with clients to gather feedback and suggestions. The number of people seeking our services continues to grow every year.In addition to the chronically homeless, this program seeing a significant number of newly homeless that have lost businesses, homes, and families in the economic chaos. In addition, we have more families coming to Bridge House and our evening dinners than ever before; at least one family with children per week. This program was also recognized for their work getting the homeless and working poor, arguably, the hardest thing for them to obtain….affordable housing[4].———————————————————————————————Being involved with homelessness directly or indirectly as a peer & resident.

NO, such a warning would be illegal, and open the Commission to legal action.This is yet another slander spun by the master fantasist of online imagination, Bob Garrett - where did he get it from? He made it up out of thin air, just like he made up the fantasy that Liston had his license revoked after the second Ali fight, which, like this, never happened except in the inventive writing of Bob Garrett.Jute like he made up his imaginary boxing club, his imaginary coaching career, and his made up quotes that no one ever said…and so many more lies…CREDIT PICTURE FIGHT CITYThis is Bob Garrett’s latest fantasy:“Liston had a bad shoulder injury prior into to his first Ali fight and was forced to take several days off training. The Florida boxing commission denied Liston a postponement of the fight. “We have important people who already bought their flight tickets and hotel accommodations. 500 reporters coming from other countries would have to cancel their flights. You should be able to beat Clay with one arm” and things to that effect. They also warned Liston his license would be suspended if he told the press about his injury because it could hurt the gate. Liston was the fall guy in both Ali fiasco’s.”https://www.quora.com/log/revision/1376665447The truth: NONE of that happened, the Florida Boxing Commission never ever told Sonny Liston he couldn’t talk about his injuries.Contrary to Bob Garrett fantasy, Sonny was suffering from at least two major injuries. He had hurt his knee prior to the second Patterson fight, which was postponed because of that injury, and he had hurt it again prior to Liston-Ali One. He also had a shoulder injury.But contrary to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which allowed Sonny 2 postponements for the knee months earlier, the Florida Boxing Commission would not grant a postponement. But no one never, ever, threatened Sonny if he released injury information that he would be suspended. That is yet another Garrett fantasy.Garrett never, ever, produces any proof of his fantasy claims. He just makes them all up. Anyone who was really around back then knows the Senate held hearings on the first fight, and it is absolutely a lie to claim Sonny got any sort of suspension warning from the Commission for talking. Complete lie. Just like he lied about Liston’s license being revoked, and a hundred other things (probably thousands!).What really happened at Liston-Ali One?Sonny Liston, who did not know when he was born, was at least 36 for the first Ali fight. But age and injury were not all that weighed against Liston in 1964 against Ali.Sonny Liston, who had intimidated every person who had opposed him since he left childhood, did not know what to make out of Cassius Clay. Clay (Ali) had followed Liston around hurling insults at him. He bought a bus and had "Sonny Liston Will Go In Eight" painted on the side. He and his entourage actually drove the bus to Liston's home in the middle of the night, laid on the horn and shouted insults until the outraged Sonny came out. He began calling Liston a "big, ugly bear."The weigh-in was a circus, with Ali working himself into such a frenzy the doctors almost cancelled the fight due to his spiking blood pressure. Ali later said, "Liston's not afraid of me, but he's afraid of a nut."Sonny was simply not ready for a lightning fast fighter like Ali. Such was his power, Sonny had fought only 13 minutes and seven seconds in the previous 4 years, and 4 minutes and 15 seconds in the past 19 months, and he expected Ali to wither like the others. He did not train properly, sparred intermittently and consumed hot dogs, popcorn and beer. He had badly underestimated Ali and his speed, and the injury added to age and lack of conditioning doomed the Big Bear.Worse than age, Sonny was operating on a gimpy knee. His last fight before meeting Ali had to be postponed twice due to a left knee injury. It was still bothering him 8 months later when he faced Ali.Liston had tried to postpone the fight to rehab the shoulder or have it surgically repaired.Liston had sought a postponement after the injury in training camp, of the fight for several months to let the injury heal, which the Florida Commission denied. He evidently worsened it dramatically during the fight. (Liston said it was partially torn before the fight, and tore completely in the first round - nonetheless by force of will he fought on until after the sixth, when he literally could not lift the arm at all)In addition, he was operating on a sore knee, which had caused his last fight, eight months before Ali, to be postponed twice!Nonetheless the commission mandated he fight on.Jack Nilon, Liston's adviser, had said that Sonny injured the arm during training. The injury had not been disclosed, although Liston took time off from training prior to the fight. Nilon never, ever, said the reason for non-disclosure was the Commission threatening Sonny, according to Liston and Ali: The Ugly Bear and the Boy Who Would Be King by Bob Mees was:“We didn’t want to give Clay any edge - if he had known Sonny was hurt, it would let him tee off on the bad shoulder and he was already too confident.”According to Boxrec, Nilon also said “Liston hurt his shoulder during training, but they decided against postponing the fight:“because we thought we could get away with it."https://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Sonny_Liston_vs._Cassius_Clay_(1st_meeting)That was not inconsistent with other statements out of Liston’s camp that he believed injured or not he could win, but it is a matter of commission record that LIston formally asked for a medical postponement, which was denied without comment.Medical evidence that he was badly hurt during the fightIt is certain that Sonny had suffered a torn biceps muscle and tendon in his left shoulder, and a severe rotator cuff tear. His purse had been ordered seized following the loss to Ali in the first fight, and the Miami Beach Boxing Commission did not officially release it until it had accepted medical verification of the injury.The Commission, confident it could steal Sonny’s purse, refused to accept his doctors, or even neutral doctor’s evaluation and verification of the seriousness of his injuries. No, they insisted on selecting their own doctors.And those commission Doctors determined that because of the injury, Liston was unable to answer the bell for the seventh round in the fight at Convention Hall.Those were commission doctors, hired to justify the seizure of Sonny’s purse - but the injuries were so severe they could not ignore the extent of them, and ruled he could not possibly have gone on.Dr. Alexander Robbins, chief physician for the Miami Beach Boxing Commission, diagnosed Liston’s injury as:“a torn tendon in his left shoulder.Tex Maule, writing for Sports Illustrated said that Liston's shoulder injury was serious, citing first Liston's inability to lift his arm:“There is no doubt that Liston's arm was damaged. In the sixth round, he carried it at belt level so that it was of no help in warding off the right crosses with which Clay probed at the cut under his left eye."Maule also got access to medical records:“A team of eight doctors inspected Liston's arm at St. Francis Hospital in Miami Beach and agreed that it was too badly damaged for Liston to continue fighting. The torn tendon had bled down into the mass of the biceps, swelling and numbing the arm.”Liston went to his Denver home after the fight, then went to Philadelphia for consultation with an orthopedic surgeon. The full extent of his incapacitation, and any treatment he received for it, surgery, or otherwise, will never be known.Dr. Richard C. Bennett of Detroit, who was been the personal physician of Joe Louis and Sugar Ray Robinson, said that:“the injury, caused by a sudden overstrain, was akin to tennis elbow.The pain alone would have been disabling.”And yet the cards were dead even when Liston could no longer raise his arm after the 6th, and had to throw in the towel. (One 58–56 Sonny, one 58–56 Ali, one even)So this, like his made up Sonny had his license suspended, is one more Bob Garrett lie.But they aren’t Bob Garrett ‘s only lies - he makes up quotes that people never said all the time, starting with Joe Frazier…A few months ago Bob Garrett lied and made up something Joe Frazier never said concerning Ali’s fight with Antonio Inoki: Joe Frazier never said, ever:“not me. If it were for real, I wouldn’t fight a wrestler for 12 million dollars”Joe Frazier never, ever, said that. Bob Garrett made that up out of thin air, like he made up his stories about his imaginary boxing career, his imaginary coaching credentials, his imaginary boxing club, his coaching 6 national champions….Poor Joe Frazier, not only did Garrett make up a quote Joe never said about turning down 12 million dollars to wrestle, he made up how he died and where!Bob Garrett claimed Joe Frazier died alone, homeless, sleeping on the floor of a gym, of a heart attack.The truth? His family announced he died of complications from cancer, and he certainly did not die homeless, or alone sleeping on the floor of a gym.https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/joe-frazier-boxing-champion-who-battled-ali-dies-at-67/2011/11/08/gIQAA3xf3M_story.html?utm_term=.3f31ea5fcb5aThere was Bob Garrett ‘s completely phony and fake claim that he knocked out Rodney Bobick.Rodney Bobick was never knocked out in a 44 fight pro careerOnly Larry Holmes succeeded in stopping him on a technical knockout in which Rodney was still on his feet fighting. Larry teed off on Rodney and though he rocked him, he could NOT put him down. NO ONE ever put him down like Garrett claims. Bobick was only knocked down ONCE as a pro in 44 fights, and got right back up and kept fighting for 9 more rounds to finish the fight!Yet Garrett claimed on December 11, 2020::“I came out for the 2nd round and attacked Bobick with a couple of quick combos that lit him up. I finished the 2nd combo with a short left hook that dropped Bobick flat on his back. It surprised me he went over so easy. He wasn’t out, but he was badly hurt. They stopped the exhibition. His trainer bitterly accused me of trying to blast him out.Bob Garrett's answer to How would Teofilo Stevenson be likely to have fared against Foreman, Holmes, Tyson, Lewis, etc.?The Bobick family is on Facebook, as is Duane Bobick, Rodney’s brother.I asked them if any of the story Garrett told was true, and they said:“call him a liar”It was a particularly stupid lie, since he claimed it took place when Rodney was 22–0, which mean this imaginary fight had to take place in a 9 day period in between Rodney’s 22nd and 23rd fight, which it never did.Bob Garrett made up a quote he claimed Larry Holmes made saying Larry went on TV and demanded Ali fight him or retire - it never happened of courseLet me put this as plainly as I can. Bob Garrett made this up out of thin air. This never happened, period, Bob Garrett is lying yet again. This was never said:“Holmes addressed Ali directly on national television and said “Fight me or get out of the game.”Garrett claims that: Holmes addressed Ali directly on national television and said:“Fight me or get out of the game.”That is another vile, despicable, Bob Garrett lie. Larry Holmes never did that, Larry Holmes never said that, ever, it isn’t how he feels, or felt, about Ali or fighting him.Faced with being called on that slanderous lie, Garrett then claimed that Leon Spinks and Alfredo Evangelista told him that Ali was ducking Holmes!Of course, that was a big lie too.Finally Garrett searched the entire internet and found a statement by Holmes after Muhammad Ali’s last fight while Ali was still holding on to the title that Ali should either retire or fight - and tried to claim that was the fake quote - but it wasn’t. Yet another fantasy by the fantasizer in chief.And then he made up quotes from Wilt Chamberlain, lying so he could make up a personal attack on Muhammad AliThis one is simple: Bob claims Wilt said things in the only book he wrote, and he did not. Anyone believing Garrett, just go look.Garrett first, in that particular vile attack. despicably said:“Ali didn’t qualify for admission to the armed services. He was too dumb.”That is another outrageous slander of course. Ali didn’t qualify in his first test for the draft because he had severe dyslexia, which in those days, was not treated in Black schools in the south.AliWhen challenged on that lie, Garrett said:“If you fail to get a basic education, whether it’s because of learning disabilities or bad schools, you could remain dumbNo decent person would write that kind of disgusting slander about people with learning disabilities. NO decent person.Bob Garrett then claimed that Wilt Chamberlain said:“Ali, who scored only 78 on his Army IQ test. That didn’t surprise Wilt Chamberlain, who remarked, “Ali can’t string 3 intelligent sentences together.”Bob Garrett's answer to Could 1967 Muhammad Ali last past the 6th round against 2020 Tyson fury since modern training (boxing evolution) has improved a lot since 1967? Also since tyson fury is so big, tall, strong, skilled, good and fast in both hands and feetWilt never said that, ever. Period. When challenged on it, Garrett simply lied again, saying:“Wilt Chamberlain made that comment in his book “Wilt.”THAT ALSO IS A FLAT LIE. WILT NEVER WROTE A BOOK NAMED “WILT”I have the only book Wilt wrote “Wilt: just like any other 7-foot Black millionaire who lives next door,” Bob Garrett can’t even get the title right - and that quote is nowhere in it. Garrett simply makes up the vilest of slanders and lies out of thin air.Garrett was asked for an explanation of why the supposed quote did not exist in a book he didn’t know the title of, but of course, could not provide it, because it didn’t exist.Then just 9 days ago, he made up a quote Jerry Quarry never said - and when confronted, claimed he didn’t need a source because he heard it, even if no one else did!Our favorite fanboy wrote an answer for this question quoting Jerry Quarry as saying:“I’ve had a big problem with endurance. I run out of gas, but I promise you, that is not going to be any problem when I fight Spencer.”He goes on to say:“That’s not something you generally heard from Jerry.”Bob Garrett's answer to What would have happened if Leon Spinks had challenged Mike Weaver in June of 1981 instead of Larry Holmes?That is because he made it up out of thin air - Jerry Quarry never, ever, said anything remotely resembling that.What did Jerry say in real life, not Garrett-verse?“I just fought a smart fight and it paid off. I told everybody I'd prove I was faster than he was. I knocked him down with the right, which they said I didn't have."https://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Jerry_Quarry_vs._Thad_SpencerJerry never had a problem gassing. The subject before the media before the fight was whether Jerry was as fast as Thad, and whether he had power enough to stop him. Endurance was never mentioned. In Hard Luck: The Triumph And Tragedy Of "Irish" Jerry Quarry by Steve Springer and Blake Chavez, it says:“Jerry was determined to prove that the much talked up Spencer wasn’t as fast as he was, nor as good a boxer - and not as good a puncher either. And prove it he did.”The Spencer fight, in 1968, was way before Jerry became a shell of himself. He was ALWAYS in top condition in that period of his career. Jerry never, ever, in any interview, said anything resembling what Garrett claims he alone in the universe heard!Then there are Garrett’s never ending lies about Muhammad Ali.His favorite is his fantasy that Ali ducked Larry Holmes, even though Larry Holmes says its a lie. Garrett has peddled that particular lie at least 20 separate times, including this morning.Of course Ali did fight Holmes, sadly, but Garrett conveniently rewrites history to say he should have fought him ealier.What is the truth in the real world, not Garrett-verse? As Larry Holmes points out in his book Larry Holmes: Against the Odds a promoter must offer the fight, put up purses, and do the actual legwork to arrange such a defense.Larry Holmes was never, ever, at any point the mandatory or #1 contender for Ali’s title.And no one ever offered him as a discretionary defense. NO ONE. Asked repeatedly for proof what Larry himself says happened, Garrett says he knows better because he saw it on TV, even though there is no record of it anywhere.Seriously,Larry Holmes himself says in his autobiography:“You have to get to number one to get that title shot. Otherwise it is a popularity contest. Spinks got a shot over me because promoters thought a Gold Medal sold seats. Unless you are number one, you are entitled to nothing.”Further, as Larry pointed out In his autobiography, Larry Holmes: Against the Odds, no promoter offered a Holmes - Ali fight until after the old champion had retired:“No one offered me a contract to fight Muhammad until after he had retired, and Don King offered us both more money than either of us had ever made to fight. That was the first time anyone had offered me a fight with Muhammad, and I didn’t want it, he was old and sick. But neither of us could refuse the money.”Does the truth stop Bob Garrett from peddling lies? Of course not.And these are only a few of his lies about great fighters…Why does Bob Garrett make up these easily disproven and outrageous lies?There are literally hundreds of other completely made up lies by Bob Garrett, on Quora, but few so easily checkable as his imaginary North County Boxing Club.Garrett claims:“Somebody asked me if I would train boxers at North County Boxing Club in Vista CA around 2000. I trained all the new boxers in the fundamentals. That’s my strength. I developed systems for strength training and conditioning and for developing balance and footspeed. Not everyone listened to my ideas, but we became the regional powerhouse. I found us a new location and kept the program going when it was going to disappear.At one point we won 48 of 52 fights. They used to send the marines down from Camp Pendleton to train at NCBC because our boxers won so often..https://www.quora.com/log/revision/1326876988Garrett claimed in another post:“I coached North County Boxing Club in Vista CA 2000 to 2005. We became the regional power. I had to quit because of changes to my day job after I found us a new location in the Vista Boys and Girls Club. “We got started at that location really well, but something happened to the program after I left. I’m not sure. I heard conflicting stories.https://www.quora.com/log/revision/1327014993This is a lie anyone can check and debunk. NO North County Boxing Club ever existedThe City of Vista keeps records of all fitness clubs, gyms, boxing clubs, et al, since 1963, and no North County Boxing Club ever existed*.City of Vista, CAThe Better Business Bureau of Vista, California, says no North County Boxing Club ever existed.BBB: Start with Trust® | Vista, CA | Better Business Bureau®The Vista Boys and Girls Club, where Garrett claimed the North County Boxing Club moved after it lost its lease, says he is lying, no such club ever existed, and they never heard of Bob Garrett.Boys and Girls Club Vista CAThe real Vista Boxing Club, in Vista for 116 years, says no North County Boxing Club ever existed, Garrett is lying, and no Bob Garrett ever coached boxing in Vista California.Vista Boxing ClubThe Community Affairs Unit of Camp Pendleton says the Marine Corps never sent Marines to be trained in a boxing club in Vista, California as Garrett lies and claims.Marine Corps Base Camp PendletonBob Garrett never, ever, was a sparring partner for Fred HoupeToday Garrett again claimed that he was Fred Houpe’s sparring partner. Fred is, thankfully, alive and well and living in Chicago.ttps://www.quora.com/log/revision/1313670068He never sparred with, or heard of, Bob Garrett.It is all a lie.When asked for some proof of his various fantasies, Bob Garrett just lies more.Then there are Bob Garrett claims he lifted at Gold’s with ArnoldThen he claimed he he lifted weights at Gold’s with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and advised the owner of Gold’s during that time, Ken Sprague, on boxing.Garrett must have thought Ken was dead like the rest of the people he makes things up about. Only trouble is, Ken Sprague is still alive and online, and said none of what Bob said was true, saying:“None of that stuff was true. He’s a poser, a wanna be, a fake.Bottom Line: I could go on all night, Bob Garrett lied and made up every part of his supposed life story, and has no boxing experience or knowledge at all. He simply is a fanboy hater who lies about every fighter he writes about, makes up quotes they never said, things they never did, interspersing fantasy with slander. If he is not hating fighters, he hates Quoran’s…
