His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

For those households earning less than 30% of the area median income (known as extremely low-income or ELI), the region’s expensive housing market severely “narrows the margin between housing insecurity and homelessness,” according to the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, some 306,000 households qualify as ELI, and two-thirds of them, about 196,000 spend more than 50% of their income on rent, often leaving less than $1,000 a month for other basic expenses. While Alameda County has the highest number of such rent-burdened households, Solano, Sonoma and San Mateo counties have the highest proportion of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We haven’t been able to build homes at the pace that we need to, which has driven more people on the street,” Covert said, calling it a “farm system to homelessness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11739924\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-population-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-population-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-population-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-population-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-population-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BAC-Bay-Area-homelessness-population.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the region could sustain 2017’s rate of a 2,500 annual increase in permanent support housing units, at the current growth rate of homelessness, the Bay Area wouldn’t be able to provide beds for all homeless residents until 2037, the study said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the study’s recommendations include creating a new state tax credit program for building homes for extremely low-income households, dramatically expanding the supply of permanent supportive housing, emergency and longer-term shelters, and consolidating existing state programs into a new California Homeless Services Agency.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And sometimes they’re not enforced.” For example, some counties require that builders create a perimeter without combustible materials around a newly built home, but then there are no follow-up inspections to enforce that rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Welle says those in the private sector, including realtors and the insurance industry, have a role to play, especially when it comes to incentivizing upgrades to existing buildings to make them more resilient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although insurance companies are barred from working together to set prices, Welle explains, “they can agree on some kind of best practices to at least promote that kind of thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11738594\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2043px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11738594\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2043\" height=\"2048\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85.jpg 2043w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85-160x160.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85-800x802.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85-1020x1022.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85-1197x1200.jpg 1197w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85-1920x1925.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85-550x550.jpg 550w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/trip_fire_after_custom-fb64230c54d3360ba738d87148c1fa32ac565a78-s2500-c85-470x470.jpg 470w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2043px) 100vw, 2043px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The contrast between the resilience of the traditional building materials and that of the fire-resistant materials was stark. \u003ccite>(Ryan Kellman/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Roof resilience is an area of particular interest to insurance companies and to homeowners who live in hurricane-prone parts of the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Hurricane Michael came ashore in Florida last year, the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety studied which buildings were damaged and what the buildings that survived had in common.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They found the storm’s intense wind and rain mirrored lab results that suggested unfortified \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/236989575\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">garage doors\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/122671817\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unsealed plywood on the roof\u003c/a> could fail catastrophically during storms, leading the roof to rip off the house or water to flood in as shingles flew away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, wildfires in California last year offered insight about how to reduce risk in fire-prone areas.

Also this week, San Francisco Mayor London Breed was shouted down during a public meeting to discuss her plan to build a controversial, 200-bed homeless navigation center along the Embarcadero.

In response to the growing epidemic, a task force is being convened this spring by San Francisco Mayor London Breed and Supervisor Rafael Mandelman to boost rehabilitation and treatment options for crystal meth users.

But a new state bill would help remove those barriers by requiring the state’s Department of Justice to use technology to automate clearing eligible arrest and conviction records. Under the proposed legislation, people would also no longer need to pay money or petition state courts to get their criminal records cleared.

But the child care is in Merced, as is Allison’s occasional work at 7-Eleven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s so stressful as a parent, any parent, regardless of your economic situation, to balance child care and work,” said Adrian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737747\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737747\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_chicken-qut-800x690.jpg\" alt=\"Aden, 6, with one of the family's several rescued factory chickens in Atwater.\" width=\"800\" height=\"690\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_chicken-qut-800x690.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_chicken-qut-160x138.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_chicken-qut-1020x880.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_chicken-qut-1200x1035.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_chicken-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aden, 6, with one of the family’s several rescued factory chickens in Atwater. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bobbie Allison feels lucky to have found a house with a yard in Atwater.

Those utility bills add up and no welfare program helps to cover them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve had to borrow money from family and friends about three times since we moved here to pay for [utilities] or to turn it back on,” Allison said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allison can’t afford to buy any of her kids’ school photos, nor a new pair of shoes for 6-year-old Aden, who runs everywhere and wears out shoes constantly. Her children don’t do extracurricular activities since there is no money for dance classes or gymnastics. Allison doesn’t own a computer and can’t afford internet service, so when she applies for jobs she relies on the data plan that comes with her cellphone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a computer, dance classes and new shoes are just nice frills. What Allison wants most is a stable job and quality child care for her two youngest children, both of whom are “ready for it,” she said. “They count, they (say) their colors, they know their ABCs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737745\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737745\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-800x546.jpg\" alt=\"A scene from Atwater in the Central Valley in early 2019.\" width=\"800\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-800x546.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-160x109.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-1020x696.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-1200x819.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A scene from Atwater in the Central Valley in early 2019. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Mom Could Use a Break Every Now and Again’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reality of being a single mom, holding down a job and looking after four kids with limited child care can be overwhelming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mom could use a break every now and again,” Allison told her kids with a chuckle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents do need a break: Stress builds up and even a baby will absorb it, said David Lockridge, an expert in childhood trauma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The nervous system is either set up to be soothed and to be calm or it is set up to be constantly on fight, flight or freeze,” said Lockridge, whose work is based on a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/childabuseandneglect/acestudy/about.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">major study\u003c/a> done in the mid-1990s by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kaiser Permanente.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737748\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737748\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_hug-qut-800x632.jpg\" alt=\"Allison family in a group hug on a recent afternoon in the backyard of their rental home in Atwater.\" width=\"800\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_hug-qut-800x632.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_hug-qut-160x126.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_hug-qut-1020x806.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_hug-qut-1200x948.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_hug-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Allison family in a group hug on a recent afternoon in the backyard of their rental home in Atwater. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The findings showed that childhood traumas lead to long-term and lingering bad health outcomes later in life.

"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hen Norma Sandoval of Merced looks at her baby son Alex, and really stares into his eyes, she sees a wise, old man. His eyebrows have this way of zigging and then zagging, he sucks his lips into his mouth as if he is pondering the universe. He makes Sandoval laugh, because really, what could a four-month old be contemplating? For Sandoval, Alex is the best thing in her life, which is otherwise full of challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many first-time moms, Sandoval has been on a steep learning curve caring for Alex. She gets a lot of help from her own mother, who has eight other children, and from the child care workers who care for Alex while she finishes high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval’s mother was a teen when she had her, and despite swearing she wouldn’t do the same, here she is at 17 with a four-month old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would see all these mothers so young and I would be like, oh my god they’re so stupid, how did they get pregnant so early,” Sandoval said. She laughed and added, “and then I got pregnant and now I’m like them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval knows what everyone thinks of her being a teen mom, but she is resolute — she wants the best for her baby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His mom’s determination might mean Alex will have a very bright future ahead of him, but right now he is part of a statistic that doesn’t bode well for his life chances: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kidsdata.org/blog/?p=8727\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">43 percent of all children under three years-old in Merced county live in poverty\u003c/a>. Sandoval doesn’t know a single person her age who isn’t struggling to make ends meet. It’s just how life is, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poverty has long been a political football, and the current polarized climate lays bare the tussle. At one end, child poverty has been called a “moral outrage” by California’s progressive governor, Gavin Newsom, who has vowed to end it. At the other end of the political spectrum, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson has said poverty is a “state of mind,” echoing the Trump administration position that government aid is not the answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost two decades ago, Norma Sandoval was herself born into an impoverished family. Her father, an immigrant from Mexico, went off daily to work the fields and her mother ran an ad-hoc childcare service out of their tiny apartment, mostly to help other families so parents could go work in the fields while she looked after the children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"The Starting Blocks Series\" tag=\"starting-blocks\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite both her parents working full-time much of her life, in her 17 years, Sandoval nor her parents have been able to climb above their challenging economic circumstances. So, like her mother before her, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kidsdata.org/PovertyDeeperLook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">285,162 parents statewide\u003c/a>, she too now raises her baby while living below the federal poverty line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval has all the usual concerns and anxieties of a 17-year-old, but on a recent Wednesday morning she was particularly worried about how many times Alex had pooped. Her brow was deeply creased as she discussed what to do with Emily Maltva, the lead teacher at the child development center that sits on the campus of Yosemite High School where Sandoval is a junior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He pooped like twice,” Sandoval told Maltva. “I changed him and then like 10 minutes later he pooped again.” Maltva reassured her that this was completely normal for a baby. Then Sandoval confessed that it wasn’t really the pooping that worried her. Diapers are expensive. Sandoval’s brow furrowed further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have like that money or nothing,” she confessed. “But I don’t think money makes you a good mother or not,” she said, declaring that she was a very good mother for Alex. Not having money just makes things harder, Sandoval said as she prepared Alex for the half-hour trudge to her boyfriend’s parents’ apartment where they are currently living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Child poverty in California is definitely a serious problem,” said Sara Kimberlin, senior policy analyst with the California Budget and Policy Center (CBPC).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a problem that has gotten steadily worse over the years as the numbers of babies and children living in poverty has increased. The numbers are stark. One in five babies and toddlers in California were born into poverty in the last few years. That’s down from five years ago when one quarter of all babies statewide lived below the federal poverty line. In some places it is much higher, like Alex’s home, in Merced County, and the counties of Glenn, Colusa, Trinity and Tehama, where almost half of all babies born start life in impoverished families.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is California’s Housing Crisis to Blame?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The earliest data on early childhood poverty came soon after standards for measuring poverty were first developed in the 1960s. By 1970 — one of the first years this data for young children was collected — about 14 percent of kids under five were poor in California. That number climbed steadily over the years. In 2012 it was 26 percent of all children statewide, according to Census and American Community Survey data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recent studies, like one from the San Francisco-based Center for the Next Generation, highlight the long-term economic threat posed by California’s high rates of childhood poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how did the baby poverty numbers get so high? The answer has little to do with babies themselves. While the cost of diapers and infant formula has risen, Kimberlin points to macro-economic factors that have seen more families fall below the poverty line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CBPC’s Kimberlin said California’s rising housing costs have perhaps been the biggest factor in pushing more families out from self sufficiency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From 2006 to 2016, rents in California rose by about three times as much median annual earnings for a full-time worker,” said Kimberlin. “That just creates a long-term problem where more and more families find themselves squeezed trying to cover their basic costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis hit, the number of California children under two-years-old in poverty climbed steeply, Kimberlin said. “The great recession definitely made things worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737459\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737459\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Alex-And-Mom-Mobile-800x544.jpg\" alt=\"Alex Sandoval, age four months, begins his day at a child care center with his mom, Norma, playing with one of his favorite toys.

Norma attends Yosemite High School while Alex attends the child care center attached to the school. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kimberlin said the recession’s impact can be traced to the spike in impoverished babies and toddlers. One of the most decisive budget cuts in the years of the recession was to subsidized child care that the state of California provided for low-income families. So add to the stagnating wages and high housing costs the “shrinking availability of affordable childcare,” and Kimberlin said and you have “a perfect storm that really made it difficult for families with children to make ends meet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet during the years of the recession, many Californians suffered, and the worsening situation for the state’s youngest residents didn’t sound alarm bells. Many children who are now in elementary school were babies and toddlers during the recession. They missed out on quality early education as preschool seats disappeared after 2008, and parents had to figure out babysitting or drop out of the workforce. With less family income the nutrition they received in their critical early development years was likely poorer, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lori Turk of the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health (LPFCH) wonders why the moral outrage at the increasing child poverty numbers isn’t more widespread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One in five babies being born into poverty in California is just absolutely unforgivable,” Turk said. During the recession years, one quarter of all babies were born into poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the demographics of the impoverished babies and toddlers has something to do with the lack of attention and action. In California it’s disproportionately babies of color that are born into poverty, something Turk said has nothing to do with the babies themselves. “Really this is about historical discriminatory practices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each year Kidsdata, a project of LPFCH, releases a report documenting the number of children in poverty. Turk said the high numbers of children of color in poverty comes from the discrimination their parents have suffered over the years. “For housing, for employment, the parents may be treated differently,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been well documented that African-Americans, Latinos and other immigrant groups \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/03/28/redlining-was-banned-50-years-ago-its-still-hurting-minorities-today/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.f359268f5cfc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have encountered redlining in housing\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.revealnews.org/article/for-people-of-color-banks-are-shutting-the-door-to-homeownership/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">banks not lending to them\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/eriksherman/2017/09/16/job-discrimination-against-blacks-and-latinos-has-changed-little-or-none-in-25-years/#8f4a5fc51e3e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">outright discrimination in the job market\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turk said if a parent deals with discrimination when they try to rent a home, or in the job market, “there’s a trickle down effect [to] their babies and their children.” Unstable employment and housing “means then their babies are directly impacted by this,” Turk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Social Safety Net Helps\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In California, poor families are not completely on their own. Experts estimate that the child poverty numbers would be almost 15 percent higher — around one in three kids — if it wasn’t for the social safety net, a tapestry of local, state and federal programs that give help to impoverished families. From Section 8 housing vouchers, to food stamps, cash aid and subsidized preschool, the welfare benefits in California are robust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is funding for providing healthful food, milk or other dairy products. There’s subsidies for parent to make sure they’re in housing for their children. There are child care subsidies,” Turk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said these programs are clearly helping families from falling into complete disaster. Norma Sandoval agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mom she works, my dad works, my boyfriend’s parents they work, so no one would be able to watch the baby,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She gets MediCal for her baby and food stamps, both state and federally funded programs. Her child care is also free, paid to her high school child care center by the state of California. But she’s one of the lucky ones. \u003ca href=\"https://calbudgetcenter.org/resources/1-2-million-california-children-eligible-subsidized-child-care-not-receive-services-state-programs-2015/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to a 2016 report\u003c/a> from the California Budget and Policy Center, six out of seven parents eligible for child care subsidies did not get them, and the waiting list can be more than 1 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think if I didn’t have child care I wouldn’t make it,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737401\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737401\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-800x668.jpg\" alt=\"Merced County resident Norma Sandoval holds her four-month-old son, Alex.\" width=\"800\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-800x668.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-160x134.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-1020x852.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-1200x1003.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Merced County resident Norma Sandoval holds her four-month-old son, Alex. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Despite the subsidies she gets, Sandoval still can’t buy all the basics for her baby. So she leans on her family, her unofficial safety net. She doesn’t pay rent to her boyfriend’s parents, and her own parents buy her extra food and the baby’s diapers, which add up to a lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the safety net that holds parents like Sandoval is working, it’s also a byzantine system to navigate.

His eyebrows have this way of zigging and then zagging, he sucks his lips into his mouth as if he is pondering the universe.

It’s just how life is, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poverty has long been a political football, and the current polarized climate lays bare the tussle. At one end, child poverty has been called a “moral outrage” by California’s progressive governor, Gavin Newsom, who has vowed to end it. At the other end of the political spectrum, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson has said poverty is a “state of mind,” echoing the Trump administration position that government aid is not the answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost two decades ago, Norma Sandoval was herself born into an impoverished family. Her father, an immigrant from Mexico, went off daily to work the fields and her mother ran an ad-hoc childcare service out of their tiny apartment, mostly to help other families so parents could go work in the fields while she looked after the children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So, like her mother before her, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kidsdata.org/PovertyDeeperLook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">285,162 parents statewide\u003c/a>, she too now raises her baby while living below the federal poverty line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval has all the usual concerns and anxieties of a 17-year-old, but on a recent Wednesday morning she was particularly worried about how many times Alex had pooped. Her brow was deeply creased as she discussed what to do with Emily Maltva, the lead teacher at the child development center that sits on the campus of Yosemite High School where Sandoval is a junior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He pooped like twice,” Sandoval told Maltva. “I changed him and then like 10 minutes later he pooped again.” Maltva reassured her that this was completely normal for a baby. Then Sandoval confessed that it wasn’t really the pooping that worried her. Diapers are expensive. Sandoval’s brow furrowed further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have like that money or nothing,” she confessed. “But I don’t think money makes you a good mother or not,” she said, declaring that she was a very good mother for Alex. Not having money just makes things harder, Sandoval said as she prepared Alex for the half-hour trudge to her boyfriend’s parents’ apartment where they are currently living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Child poverty in California is definitely a serious problem,” said Sara Kimberlin, senior policy analyst with the California Budget and Policy Center (CBPC).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a problem that has gotten steadily worse over the years as the numbers of babies and children living in poverty has increased. The numbers are stark. One in five babies and toddlers in California were born into poverty in the last few years. That’s down from five years ago when one quarter of all babies statewide lived below the federal poverty line. In some places it is much higher, like Alex’s home, in Merced County, and the counties of Glenn, Colusa, Trinity and Tehama, where almost half of all babies born start life in impoverished families.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is California’s Housing Crisis to Blame?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The earliest data on early childhood poverty came soon after standards for measuring poverty were first developed in the 1960s. By 1970 — one of the first years this data for young children was collected — about 14 percent of kids under five were poor in California. That number climbed steadily over the years. In 2012 it was 26 percent of all children statewide, according to Census and American Community Survey data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recent studies, like one from the San Francisco-based Center for the Next Generation, highlight the long-term economic threat posed by California’s high rates of childhood poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how did the baby poverty numbers get so high? The answer has little to do with babies themselves. While the cost of diapers and infant formula has risen, Kimberlin points to macro-economic factors that have seen more families fall below the poverty line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CBPC’s Kimberlin said California’s rising housing costs have perhaps been the biggest factor in pushing more families out from self sufficiency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From 2006 to 2016, rents in California rose by about three times as much median annual earnings for a full-time worker,” said Kimberlin. “That just creates a long-term problem where more and more families find themselves squeezed trying to cover their basic costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis hit, the number of California children under two-years-old in poverty climbed steeply, Kimberlin said. “The great recession definitely made things worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737459\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737459\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Alex-And-Mom-Mobile-800x544.jpg\" alt=\"Alex Sandoval, age four months, begins his day at a child care center with his mom, Norma, playing with one of his favorite toys.

Norma attends Yosemite High School while Alex attends the child care center attached to the school. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kimberlin said the recession’s impact can be traced to the spike in impoverished babies and toddlers. One of the most decisive budget cuts in the years of the recession was to subsidized child care that the state of California provided for low-income families. So add to the stagnating wages and high housing costs the “shrinking availability of affordable childcare,” and Kimberlin said and you have “a perfect storm that really made it difficult for families with children to make ends meet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet during the years of the recession, many Californians suffered, and the worsening situation for the state’s youngest residents didn’t sound alarm bells. Many children who are now in elementary school were babies and toddlers during the recession. They missed out on quality early education as preschool seats disappeared after 2008, and parents had to figure out babysitting or drop out of the workforce. With less family income the nutrition they received in their critical early development years was likely poorer, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lori Turk of the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health (LPFCH) wonders why the moral outrage at the increasing child poverty numbers isn’t more widespread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One in five babies being born into poverty in California is just absolutely unforgivable,” Turk said. During the recession years, one quarter of all babies were born into poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the demographics of the impoverished babies and toddlers has something to do with the lack of attention and action. In California it’s disproportionately babies of color that are born into poverty, something Turk said has nothing to do with the babies themselves. “Really this is about historical discriminatory practices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each year Kidsdata, a project of LPFCH, releases a report documenting the number of children in poverty. Turk said the high numbers of children of color in poverty comes from the discrimination their parents have suffered over the years. “For housing, for employment, the parents may be treated differently,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been well documented that African-Americans, Latinos and other immigrant groups \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/03/28/redlining-was-banned-50-years-ago-its-still-hurting-minorities-today/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.f359268f5cfc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have encountered redlining in housing\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.revealnews.org/article/for-people-of-color-banks-are-shutting-the-door-to-homeownership/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">banks not lending to them\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/eriksherman/2017/09/16/job-discrimination-against-blacks-and-latinos-has-changed-little-or-none-in-25-years/#8f4a5fc51e3e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">outright discrimination in the job market\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turk said if a parent deals with discrimination when they try to rent a home, or in the job market, “there’s a trickle down effect [to] their babies and their children.” Unstable employment and housing “means then their babies are directly impacted by this,” Turk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Social Safety Net Helps\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In California, poor families are not completely on their own. Experts estimate that the child poverty numbers would be almost 15 percent higher — around one in three kids — if it wasn’t for the social safety net, a tapestry of local, state and federal programs that give help to impoverished families. From Section 8 housing vouchers, to food stamps, cash aid and subsidized preschool, the welfare benefits in California are robust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is funding for providing healthful food, milk or other dairy products. There’s subsidies for parent to make sure they’re in housing for their children. There are child care subsidies,” Turk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said these programs are clearly helping families from falling into complete disaster. Norma Sandoval agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mom she works, my dad works, my boyfriend’s parents they work, so no one would be able to watch the baby,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She gets MediCal for her baby and food stamps, both state and federally funded programs. Her child care is also free, paid to her high school child care center by the state of California. But she’s one of the lucky ones. \u003ca href=\"https://calbudgetcenter.org/resources/1-2-million-california-children-eligible-subsidized-child-care-not-receive-services-state-programs-2015/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to a 2016 report\u003c/a> from the California Budget and Policy Center, six out of seven parents eligible for child care subsidies did not get them, and the waiting list can be more than 1 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think if I didn’t have child care I wouldn’t make it,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737401\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737401\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-800x668.jpg\" alt=\"Merced County resident Norma Sandoval holds her four-month-old son, Alex.\" width=\"800\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-800x668.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-160x134.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-1020x852.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-1200x1003.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Merced County resident Norma Sandoval holds her four-month-old son, Alex. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Despite the subsidies she gets, Sandoval still can’t buy all the basics for her baby.

Schools would have until next summer to roll it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Lopez, the plan would make a big difference.

For starters, he’d have to hire security guards, set up some portable bathrooms and partner with outside groups that can help connect students with resources. He would likely also ask students to sign liability waivers before allowing them to sleep on campus grounds, and he worries about how homeowners around the campus would respond. “Will it impact property values?” he asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Assemblymember Marc Berman of Palo Alto, and the bill’s author']‘The goal isn’t to have community college students, or anybody, sleep in their vehicles. We should be able to provide housing for residents at every income level. But we are far away from that goal in California today.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Tuesday’s hearing, some committee members and representatives from community colleges pushed to strip the overnight parking mandate from the bill, or instead create a pilot program with a sunset date and assessment period. They raised concerns about whether the state would kick in adequate funding to cover the costs to community colleges, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Aytch said he wants to support students like Lopez any way he can, even if that’s just a place to park. A campus survey found nearly 60 percent of students were housing insecure, while 15 percent were homeless, “primarily because the cost of living is extremely high,” Aytch said. A studio apartment in San Jose rents for over $1,700 a month, according to Apartment List’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.apartmentlist.com/rentonomics/rental-price-data/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">latest data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aytch also hopes to work toward better solutions, like building student housing on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The minds behind the recent report on California community college students’ basic needs have \u003ca href=\"https://hope4college.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Hope-TICAS-CCCCO-Brief.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a few recommendations\u003c/a> of their own, including financial aid reform, and additional supports to help students take advantage of available grant money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1995\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> law on the books\u003c/a> since 2016 requires community colleges to make campus shower facilities available to homeless students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
