Now the Spartans will advance all the way to Saturday’s championship match rather than take the court Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boise State released a statement that read: “The decision to not continue to play in the 2024 Mountain West Volleyball Championship tournament was not an easy one. Our team overcame forfeitures to earn a spot in the tournament field and fought for the win over Utah State in the first round on Wednesday. They should not have to forgo this opportunity while waiting for a more thoughtful and better system that serves all athletes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San José State issued a statement to KQED news that read: “In this time of Thanksgiving, we are especially thankful for those who continue to engage in civil and respectful discourse. We celebrate and support all of our students, including our student-athletes as they compete for our community on this holiday weekend. While we are disappointed in Boise State’s decision, our women’s volleyball team is preparing for Saturday’s match and looks forward to competing for a championship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boise State’s announcement came hours after the Broncos defeated Utah State 25–19, 18–25, 25–20, 25–23 in the quarterfinals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boise State didn’t commit immediately after the match to playing San José State. What went into its decision to withdraw from the tournament was unclear, whether it was by a team vote or more of a university decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The title match likely will go on as scheduled. San Jose State will play either top-seeded Colorado State or No. 5 San Diego State.

Our team overcame forfeitures to earn a spot in the tournament field and fought for the win over Utah State in the first round on Wednesday. They should not have to forgo this opportunity while waiting for a more thoughtful and better system that serves all athletes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San José State issued a statement to KQED news that read: “In this time of Thanksgiving, we are especially thankful for those who continue to engage in civil and respectful discourse. We celebrate and support all of our students, including our student-athletes as they compete for our community on this holiday weekend. While we are disappointed in Boise State’s decision, our women’s volleyball team is preparing for Saturday’s match and looks forward to competing for a championship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boise State’s announcement came hours after the Broncos defeated Utah State 25–19, 18–25, 25–20, 25–23 in the quarterfinals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Mayor London Breed, outgoing mayor of San Francisco, made waves recently with a major policy shift: Before providing a shelter bed or any other services, city workers must first offer every homeless person they encounter a bus or train ticket to somewhere else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while San Francisco has gotten an outsized amount of attention for putting its busing program at the forefront of its homelessness strategy, other California cities and nonprofits continue to quietly send small numbers of unhoused people all over the country. At least one new program is set to launch early next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For an unhoused person who wants to move in with family in another city or state or who got stuck somewhere after a job or housing prospect fell through and needs help getting home, these types of programs can be a game changer. But some activists worry they can be used coercively to move unhoused people out of sight instead of helping them. And once someone is bused away, it’s hard to tell what happens to them — whether they successfully reunite with family or become homeless on another city’s sidewalks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In general, the ability to travel back to a place where you have a home is really important and can be a lifesaving service, in fact, and can help to reunite families,” said Niki Jones, executive director of the Sacramento Regional Coalition to End Homelessness. “When done in good faith, it can be an important and powerful intervention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many programs do some homework before sending their clients off on a bus, but the amount of effort they put in varies. One nonprofit serving homeless young people in Los Angeles has a therapist call the client’s family in the destination city to make sure the client is going into a safe, welcoming environment. One of San Francisco’s relocation programs requires the client only to have a vague connection to their destination city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These programs are garnering attention at a time when city leaders are facing pressure from all sides, including \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2024/07/newsom-homeless-encampments-order/\">from Gov. Gavin Newsom\u003c/a>, to get rid of homeless encampments, but lack the resources to give everyone a home or shelter bed. Buying someone a one-way ticket out of town is a much cheaper alternative. However, the number of people who can benefit from these programs tends to be small. Data from throughout California consistently shows that most people who are homeless are from the county they’re in. And homelessness, addiction and other traumas have marred many people’s relationships, leaving them with no one to help them in another city.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>San Francisco offers bus tickets before shelter\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Shortly after beginning an aggressive crackdown on tent encampments in San Francisco, Mayor Breed \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/sites/default/files/2024-08/Executive%20Directive%2024-02_Journey_Home_0.pdf\">ordered (PDF)\u003c/a> all city agencies to “offer and incentivize” the city’s busing program before other services. Those who decline any help may be at risk of being arrested for illegally camping in a public place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providing free bus tickets to unhoused people is nothing new in San Francisco, which has been offering some form of this program for about two decades, said Emily Cohen, deputy director of communications and legislative affairs for the city’s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. But usage declined during the COVID-19 pandemic, when travel was restricted, and it didn’t pick back up, she said. The mayor’s directive was intended to fix that, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The increased emphasis on busing also comes as the demographics of San Francisco’s homeless population are shifting. This year, 41% of the people surveyed in San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"https://hsh.sfgov.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/2024-San-Francisco-Point-in-Time-Count-Report-8_13_24-1.pdf\">point-in-time count (PDF)\u003c/a> reported they were living in another city or state when they lost their housing. That’s up from 29% two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are definitely an increasing number of people who are experiencing homelessness in San Francisco who aren’t originally from San Francisco,” Cohen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco offers three programs to help unhoused people relocate outside of the city. Journey Home, launched in September 2023, has the lowest barrier to entry. While other programs require clients to work with a case manager on a detailed plan to find and hold onto housing when they arrive in their new city, Journey Home requires only that someone be healthy enough to travel and prove they have some connection to their destination city. That proof could be a phone call to a friend or relative in the city, a receipt showing the client once got food stamps there, or an ID with an address in that city. Clients do not need to prove they have housing in the destination city, and the whole process, from intake to sitting on a bus, can take a day or two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since July 2022, San Francisco has relocated a total of 1,039 unhoused clients via Journey Home and other programs, \u003ca href=\"https://hsh.sfgov.org/services/the-homelessness-response-system/problem-solving/relocation-assistance-programs/\">according to city data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of clients relocated via Journey Home spiked in August of this year (the month Breed issued her order) — 25 people were moved, up from nine the month before. The city relocated another 32 people through other programs. That same month, the city \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/data/healthy-streets-data-and-information\">placed 120 people\u003c/a> from encampments into shelters, and another 429 people on the street declined help, according to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Lukas Illa, a human rights organizer with the San Francisco-based Coalition on Homelessness, supports programs that help unhoused people who want to relocate, he’s skeptical of Journey Home. The choice to leave San Francisco should be the unhoused person’s to freely make, he said. And he said that’s not the case when police, who have the power to cite and arrest people, offer bus tickets as a first resort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Journey Home needs to be so deliberate and to really center the agency and the autonomy of the person it is offered to, and not used as a cudgel to threaten arrest or jail time,” Illa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen said no one is being forced to leave San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The intention is to facilitate connections with loved ones and home communities if that is a safe and healthy option for you,” she said. “But no one is required to take that option.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Other cities that use homeless busing programs\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>San José has budgeted $200,000 to launch a relocation program called Homeward Bound, which is expected to start in February. That money can go toward a client’s bus or plane ticket or to help with utility bills or other expenses for the friend or family member taking them in. The city will make sure clients have friends or family to help them in their destination city, but staff are still ironing out the specifics, said Tasha Dean, spokesperson for Mayor Matt Mahan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Reconnecting people living on the streets with family members or loved ones who want to care for them is just common sense,” Mahan said in a statement. “It’s the least expensive, most impactful program we could launch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento County also offers those services, but they aren’t widely used, said county spokesperson Janna Haynes. During the 2022-23 fiscal year, 17 people used the county’s Return to Residency Program to leave the county. That program has since dissolved, and now, social workers in various county programs offer the service on a case-by-case basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Los Angeles doesn’t run a busing program, but multiple nonprofits within the city offer similar services. PATH helped 313 clients reunite with family in the last fiscal year, and a little more than half of those clients left LA County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Safe Place for Youth also helps young people reunite with friends and family outside LA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities and nonprofits in other states also run busing programs — and sometimes send people to California. Haven for Hope, which operates a large homeless shelter and service center in San Antonio, Texas, gave about 60 people one-way bus tickets out of the city last year, said Alberto Rodriguez, vice president of operations. Before they send a client on their way, Haven for Hope calls the family or friend they are going to live with and confirms the client can stay there, Rodriguez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re never just going to send someone back to homelessness in another city or another state. In the same way, we don’t want other cities or other states to send their homeless clients to San Antonio without connecting with us,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where do people who are bused end up?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Of the 151 people relocated from San Francisco since August, at least 29 went to other cities within California. At least another 12 went to Texas, six went to Florida and seven went to Georgia. Due to a data processing error, the city couldn’t provide information on where 34 people went.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_12011525,news_12015125,news_12013909\"]It’s harder to tell what happens to those people once they reach their destination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco only recently started requiring staff to check in with clients 90 days after they leave, but staff often can’t get a hold of them in their new city, Cohen said. The city didn’t provide data on the outcomes of those 90-day calls, which started in July, in time for publication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 15% of people who left San Francisco through the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing’s relocation program between July 2022 and July 2023 ended up back in San Francisco, using the city’s homeless services, within a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen called that an 85% “success rate,” despite the fact that even though someone didn’t return to San Francisco, they might have ended up homeless in their new city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is fantastic,” Cohen said, “in terms of the amount of investment for the outcome we are able to achieve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

One nonprofit serving homeless young people in Los Angeles has a therapist call the client’s family in the destination city to make sure the client is going into a safe, welcoming environment. One of San Francisco’s relocation programs requires the client only to have a vague connection to their destination city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These programs are garnering attention at a time when city leaders are facing pressure from all sides, including \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2024/07/newsom-homeless-encampments-order/\">from Gov. Gavin Newsom\u003c/a>, to get rid of homeless encampments, but lack the resources to give everyone a home or shelter bed. Buying someone a one-way ticket out of town is a much cheaper alternative. However, the number of people who can benefit from these programs tends to be small. Data from throughout California consistently shows that most people who are homeless are from the county they’re in. And homelessness, addiction and other traumas have marred many people’s relationships, leaving them with no one to help them in another city.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>San Francisco offers bus tickets before shelter\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Shortly after beginning an aggressive crackdown on tent encampments in San Francisco, Mayor Breed \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/sites/default/files/2024-08/Executive%20Directive%2024-02_Journey_Home_0.pdf\">ordered (PDF)\u003c/a> all city agencies to “offer and incentivize” the city’s busing program before other services. Those who decline any help may be at risk of being arrested for illegally camping in a public place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providing free bus tickets to unhoused people is nothing new in San Francisco, which has been offering some form of this program for about two decades, said Emily Cohen, deputy director of communications and legislative affairs for the city’s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. But usage declined during the COVID-19 pandemic, when travel was restricted, and it didn’t pick back up, she said. The mayor’s directive was intended to fix that, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The increased emphasis on busing also comes as the demographics of San Francisco’s homeless population are shifting. This year, 41% of the people surveyed in San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"https://hsh.sfgov.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/2024-San-Francisco-Point-in-Time-Count-Report-8_13_24-1.pdf\">point-in-time count (PDF)\u003c/a> reported they were living in another city or state when they lost their housing. That’s up from 29% two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are definitely an increasing number of people who are experiencing homelessness in San Francisco who aren’t originally from San Francisco,” Cohen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco offers three programs to help unhoused people relocate outside of the city. Journey Home, launched in September 2023, has the lowest barrier to entry. While other programs require clients to work with a case manager on a detailed plan to find and hold onto housing when they arrive in their new city, Journey Home requires only that someone be healthy enough to travel and prove they have some connection to their destination city. That proof could be a phone call to a friend or relative in the city, a receipt showing the client once got food stamps there, or an ID with an address in that city. Clients do not need to prove they have housing in the destination city, and the whole process, from intake to sitting on a bus, can take a day or two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since July 2022, San Francisco has relocated a total of 1,039 unhoused clients via Journey Home and other programs, \u003ca href=\"https://hsh.sfgov.org/services/the-homelessness-response-system/problem-solving/relocation-assistance-programs/\">according to city data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of clients relocated via Journey Home spiked in August of this year (the month Breed issued her order) — 25 people were moved, up from nine the month before. The city relocated another 32 people through other programs. That same month, the city \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/data/healthy-streets-data-and-information\">placed 120 people\u003c/a> from encampments into shelters, and another 429 people on the street declined help, according to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Lukas Illa, a human rights organizer with the San Francisco-based Coalition on Homelessness, supports programs that help unhoused people who want to relocate, he’s skeptical of Journey Home. The choice to leave San Francisco should be the unhoused person’s to freely make, he said. And he said that’s not the case when police, who have the power to cite and arrest people, offer bus tickets as a first resort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Journey Home needs to be so deliberate and to really center the agency and the autonomy of the person it is offered to, and not used as a cudgel to threaten arrest or jail time,” Illa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen said no one is being forced to leave San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The intention is to facilitate connections with loved ones and home communities if that is a safe and healthy option for you,” she said. “But no one is required to take that option.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Other cities that use homeless busing programs\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>San José has budgeted $200,000 to launch a relocation program called Homeward Bound, which is expected to start in February. That money can go toward a client’s bus or plane ticket or to help with utility bills or other expenses for the friend or family member taking them in. The city will make sure clients have friends or family to help them in their destination city, but staff are still ironing out the specifics, said Tasha Dean, spokesperson for Mayor Matt Mahan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Reconnecting people living on the streets with family members or loved ones who want to care for them is just common sense,” Mahan said in a statement. “It’s the least expensive, most impactful program we could launch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento County also offers those services, but they aren’t widely used, said county spokesperson Janna Haynes. During the 2022-23 fiscal year, 17 people used the county’s Return to Residency Program to leave the county. That program has since dissolved, and now, social workers in various county programs offer the service on a case-by-case basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Los Angeles doesn’t run a busing program, but multiple nonprofits within the city offer similar services. PATH helped 313 clients reunite with family in the last fiscal year, and a little more than half of those clients left LA County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Safe Place for Youth also helps young people reunite with friends and family outside LA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities and nonprofits in other states also run busing programs — and sometimes send people to California. Haven for Hope, which operates a large homeless shelter and service center in San Antonio, Texas, gave about 60 people one-way bus tickets out of the city last year, said Alberto Rodriguez, vice president of operations. Before they send a client on their way, Haven for Hope calls the family or friend they are going to live with and confirms the client can stay there, Rodriguez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re never just going to send someone back to homelessness in another city or another state. In the same way, we don’t want other cities or other states to send their homeless clients to San Antonio without connecting with us,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where do people who are bused end up?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Of the 151 people relocated from San Francisco since August, at least 29 went to other cities within California. At least another 12 went to Texas, six went to Florida and seven went to Georgia. Due to a data processing error, the city couldn’t provide information on where 34 people went.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The Santa Clara Valley Water District passed an encampment ban on Tuesday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12009230/santa-clara-valley-water-district-hosts-summit-on-homelessness-ahead-of-encampment-ban-decision\">making it tougher for unhoused people to live near most rivers\u003c/a>, creeks and streams in the South Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t allow our unhoused neighbors and our housed neighbors to face flood risks,” said Rick Callender, the district’s chief executive officer. “This has truly been a troubling path for staff to recommend such an ordinance, but it is a necessary path.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Callender said the agency will prioritize an education-first approach, stating he wants to avoid “more people of color incarcerated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the policy, staff will issue “a good faith attempt” to engage directly in conversation with “unsheltered” people before showing those “illegally occupying Valley Water property” how to connect with social services offering interim or permanent housing. The relocation process also aims to connect individuals to local government social services who are removed from its property. However, unhoused advocacy groups and at least one board member urged the district to rethink the ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staff will also post a written notice in advance of a scheduled cleanup. After 72 hours, Valley Water and partnering agencies can clear the camp, which includes storing “identifiable personal belongings.” As a last resort, law enforcement can charge those who refuse to move with an infraction or misdemeanor with a fine not to exceed $500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ordinance goes into effect in 30 days, and enforcement starts on Jan. 2, 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12015942 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/PowerPGEMissionDist-1020x666.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want people to be able to adhere to the encampment condition guidelines and remain a low priority for enforcement,” said Mark Bilski, an assistant officer in charge of the Good Neighbor program. “At the same time, urgent staff and public safety issues sometimes don’t allow this. If someone physically threatens staff, we need to be able to act immediately.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district also voted to prohibit the possession of firearms, ammunition and fireworks on lands owned by Valley Water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District officials said encampments cause environmental harm when trash, food and other items flow into waterways. The debris can also cause blockages or pinch points in channels meant to help control flood waters.

The department now says the federal government reimbursed California about $310.7 million for reproductive health care last year, according to California Department of Health Care Services figures.

Shortly after the overturning of Roe v.

In May, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovu7Hu1oEiQ&t=1s\">he expressed\u003c/a> support for unrestricted abortion access, stating he opposed any government restrictions, “even if it’s full term.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, he later revised his position, advocating for legal \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/abortion/\">abortion\u003c/a> up to the point of \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/presidential/3000858/rfk-jr-walks-back-stance-abortion/\">fetal viability\u003c/a>, the stage at which a fetus can potentially survive outside the womb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roger Severino, who served as the Department of Health and Human Services director of the Office for Civil Rights under Trump, authored Project 2025’s abortion surveillance plan. He is now the vice president of domestic policy at the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind Project 2025. He declined an interview request.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_12015752,news_12013882,forum_2010101906159\"]Severino’s vision for remaking the department is a cornerstone of Project 2025’s effort to impose stricter federal oversight on abortion practices, particularly targeting states like California, which offers greater access to abortion services than most other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because liberal states have now become sanctuaries for abortion tourism, [the Department of Health and Human Services] should use every available tool, including the cutting of funds, to ensure that every state reports exactly how many abortions take place within its borders, at what gestational age of the child, for what reason, the mother’s state of residence, and by what method,” reads \u003ca href=\"https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-14.pdf\">the chapter (PDF)\u003c/a> on abortion reporting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The potential fallout isn’t limited to California. Experts \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/09/project2025-trump-california-abortion-surveillance/\">have warned\u003c/a> that other states with progressive abortion policies may face similar funding threats, amplifying the national debate over reproductive rights under Trump’s second term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Election Day, Newsom traveled to Washington, D.C., for meetings with the Biden administration and congressional leaders to “discuss strategies for safeguarding health care access,” said Anthony Cava, a spokesperson for the California Department of Health Care Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cava would not elaborate on those strategies. He said the department “cannot speculate on the future of these programs under a new federal administration, but the Newsom administration is working to protect the health and well-being of all Californians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has long positioned itself as a national leader in reproductive rights, actively opposing federal restrictions on abortion access. The state’s proactive policies, such as safeguarding providers who serve out-of-state patients, stand in stark contrast to the goals of Project 2025. As policymakers and advocates brace for how Trump plans to “\u003ca href=\"https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113448443776000306\">Make California Great Again\u003c/a>,” they’re treating Project 2025 as a looming possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planned Parenthood, one of California’s leading providers of reproductive health care services for lower-income communities, said the organization is preparing for “a variety of scenarios.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelby McMichael, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, said “while specifics remain under wraps,” the group is prioritizing expanding California’s abortion provider workforce, increasing investments in abortion funds and infrastructure as well as analyzing data to “improve abortion care access and education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",
