‘I’m Trying So Hard’: Man Lives In RV, Kicked Off Lot In Jeffco
"I'm trying so hard to be the human being society wants me to be. And now, it is not good enough," Joseph Kniss said.
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) – A man who said he has worked his way off the streets said he’s suffered a setback after Jefferson County public officials want to force him out of the first home he has owned in more than 12 years. Joseph Kniss, 58, told CBS4’s Dillon Thomas his RV is the first shelter he has owned since becoming homeless more than a decade ago. However, on Thursday morning, Kniss said he woke to a code enforcement officer telling him he wasn’t able to live in the RV at the location where he was paying to stay.
“I don’t know what else society could want from a person. I’m trying so hard to be the human being society wants me to be. And now, it is not good enough,” Kniss said. “What else does society want out of me?”
