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.",

"content": "\u003cp>As newly minted college students get ready to start classes next month, some will find their school’s estimates for costs are way off. If students relied on what colleges report, they’d expect to pay nearly the same amount for food and off-campus housing at \u003ca href=\"https://www2.calstate.edu/attend/paying-for-college/Pages/campus-costs-of-attendance.aspx\">Fresno State\u003c/a> as at \u003ca href=\"http://www.admission.ucla.edu/Prospect/budget.htm\">UCLA\u003c/a>, even though the two areas have dramatically different housing costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There doesn't seem to be an overall rhyme or reason as to how colleges set these allowances,” said Seton Hall University professor \u003ca href=\"https://www.shu.edu/profiles/robertkelchen.cfm\">Robert Kelchen\u003c/a>, who studied college budget estimates nationally. “It was happening basically everywhere, and the concern was greatest in areas with very high living costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bad estimates can throw off not only students’ budgeting, but also their financial aid packages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any college that gets federal financial aid has to come up with a basic cost of attendance estimate, but schools have a lot of leeway in how they make that calculation. In California, the agency that oversees financial aid programs for the state, the Student Aid Commission, \u003ca href=\"https://www.csac.ca.gov/post/student-expense-budget\">provides an estimate\u003c/a> of student costs for food, housing, textbooks, and transportation. It’s a single statewide average, and many schools around the state rely on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see colleges in some of the most expensive parts of the state using that number, and some colleges in the least expensive parts of the state,” said Debbie Cochrane, vice president of \u003ca href=\"https://ticas.org/\">The Institute for College Access and Success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://financialaid.sfsu.edu/Welcome\">San Francisco State University\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.fullerton.edu/financialaid/costs/UGCosts.php\">Cal State Fullerton\u003c/a>, for example, list nearly identical off-campus housing and food costs. “When we looked at that we thought, ‘That doesn’t seem right,’ ” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.calstatestudents.org/\">Cal State Student Association\u003c/a> Executive Director Rob Shorette. When he checked other sources of data, like the Department of Housing and Urban Development, they told a different story about housing costs: \u003ca href=\"https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/fmr/fmrs/FY2018_code/2018summary.odn\">Rents in San Francisco\u003c/a> are around $1,000 a month higher than \u003ca href=\"https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/fmr/fmrs/FY2018_code/2018summary.odn\">rents in Fullerton\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overestimating costs could result in students taking out more loans than they need, Shorette says, but lowballing costs can be bad for students, too. “Underestimating these costs may put them in a predicament where they’re forced to find other ways to meet their financial needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These estimates aren’t just misleading — they also determine the maximum amount of financial aid a student can get. (Financial aid is calculated by subtracting your expected family contribution from your school’s total cost of attendance.) Most students don’t get their full cost of attendance paid for with grants, but the cost of attendance estimate also caps student loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'If [colleges] lowball costs, not only does that spare their own institutional aid budgets, but it also makes them look better in the eyes of students and families.'\u003ccite>Debbie Cochrane, Institute for College Access and Success\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>So if a college’s estimate is too low, Kelchen says, “you need to work a lot more in order to pay the bills. But working a lot more means that it's hard to go to college full time and it may be hard to do well in school.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even within the same city, estimates can vary: \u003ca href=\"http://www.calstatela.edu/financialaid/2018-2019-cost-attendance\">Cal State Los Angeles' estimate\u003c/a> for non-tuition costs is $19,454; \u003ca href=\"http://www.admission.ucla.edu/Prospect/budget.htm\">UCLA’s\u003c/a> is $17,802.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley and Berkeley City College are less than half a mile apart. But \u003ca href=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentcloud.org/documents/4619330/Student-Cost-of-Attendance.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIWZKW64MXJ5HXBOA&Expires=1532652435&Signature=mHyoSKPbWEL9Nse74Wwni3rQL4Q%3D\">City College estimates\u003c/a> students spend about $4,800 more every school year on non-tuition costs than \u003ca href=\"https://financialaid.berkeley.edu/cost-attendance\">UC Berkeley estimates\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really unclear why UC Berkeley students would need so much less, would be spending so much less,” Cochrane says. “I mean in many cases these students are actually roommates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC’s estimates are based on its own \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucop.edu/institutional-research-academic-planning/services/survey-services/UCOAS.html\">student surveys\u003c/a>, done every three years. Some parts of the Berkeley City College budget appear to use the statewide estimate provided by the Student Aid Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the discrepancy, a UC spokesperson pointed to the fact that UC’s data are newer. The Student Aid Commission’s estimate is based on a survey last conducted more than a decade ago. And while it’s been adjusted annually for inflation, commission administrators raise concerns that the estimate is actually too low because of its age. They’re in the process of conducting a new survey.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11673311/housing-costs-more-than-tuition-are-crushing-californias-low-income-college-students\">Housing Costs — More Than Tuition — Are Crushing California's Low-Income College Students\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11673311/housing-costs-more-than-tuition-are-crushing-californias-low-income-college-students\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/SadiaKahn-1180x1006.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.apartmentlist.com/rentonomics/rental-price-data/\">Recent Apartment List data\u003c/a> put the average cost of a one-bedroom apartment in Berkeley at $2,113 a month. To live on the off-campus housing budget UC Berkeley provides, two students would have to share that apartment and wouldn’t have money left over for utilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cochrane and Kelchen agree that coming up with estimates is complicated, and it’s hard to know what’s accurate, but both see an incentive to make prices look lower than they are: For schools that provide generous grant aid, raising the price tag would mean shelling out a lot more money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they lowball costs, not only does that spare their own institutional aid budgets,” Cochrane said, “but it also makes them look better in the eyes of students and families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California legislators have been looking for fixes. They introduced at least three bills in the last couple years that took on the issue. Last year, Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed one that \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1064\">would have required\u003c/a> the CSU to do its own surveys to come up with more accurate cost estimates.

He drives an Uber more than 70 hours a week to make ends meet. \u003ccite>(Robbie Short/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>California has long been a landing spot for refugees like Jan. Waves of Vietnamese, Iranian, Central American and other immigrants have resettled here over the past few decades, escaping persecution and turmoil in their home countries. More than \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdss.ca.gov/Portals/9/Refugee/Arrivals/arrivals_by_county_and_year_since_1975.pdf?ver=2018-05-23-154958-877\">700,000 refugees\u003c/a> have come to California since the mid-1970s, including more than 30,000 in the last five years, according to state statistics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That history is partly why so many Californians pride themselves on their welcoming attitude toward newcomers displaced from their native countries. While refugee arrivals dipped dramatically last year under new Trump administration policies, the state’s progressive political leadership has \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/essential/la-pol-ca-essential-politics-updates-california-state-senate-passes-1485824122-htmlstory.html\">repeatedly branded\u003c/a> California as the refugee-friendly antidote to Trump, challenging the president’s actions to reduce refugee admissions and passing a “California Welcomes Refugees” legislative package last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Californians’ welcoming attitude only goes so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a really hard place to come, just because of the cost of living, especially the cost of housing,\" says Avi Rose, executive director of Jewish Family and Community Services East Bay, the nonprofit that assisted Jan.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'If I [had to ] do it over, I wouldn’t come to California.'\u003ccite>Khisrow Jan\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Most refugee resettlement agencies no longer place families in San Francisco because of the city’s high housing costs. In San Diego, long a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/san-diego-welcomes-refugees-california-county/\">leading destination for refugees\u003c/a>, one resettlement agency was \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2018/feb/23/federal-monitors-warned-san-diego-refugee-nonprofi/\">accused\u003c/a> of placing families in apartments that did not have enough sleeping space and advising refugees to lie to landlords about the number of people in their family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Jewish Family and Community Services East Bay resettled 183 refugees in the Bay Area, the vast majority coming from Afghanistan. Rose says his agency is moving more and more of those clients inland, away from pricier coastal cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may mean cheaper rents, but it also means refugees may be farther from communities that share their language and culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s particularly a problem with women, because the women are home usually with the kids,” says Rose. “They’re more likely to be isolated, less likely to be picking up English. It’s hard anyway, but it’s harder if you’re isolated geographically.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s part of the reason Jan stays in the Bay Area, despite the high price tag. His brother lives close by, and there are other Afghani families in his apartment complex. That makes things easier on his wife, who doesn’t speak English very well and does not have a driver’s license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I [had to ] do it over, I wouldn’t come to California,” says Jan. “Over here, it’s too much rent. But I’m used to it now, I can’t move.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Urinating in a Bottle to Save Money\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It’s the Fourth of July, and Jan is dressed for the occasion.

Jan doesn’t have much time for bathroom breaks during his Uber rides. It’s especially difficult to find a free restroom in San Francisco, where restaurants and gas stations typically allow access only to paying customers because of the city’s large homeless population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Jan will often pee in the bottle, typically in the back seat of his car, which has tinted windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though he worked with American troops and says he saw live combat, Jan is not eligible for veterans’ benefits.

The federal government provides a little more than $1,000 in one-time cash assistance for each refugee family member, regardless of where that family is resettling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So an Afghani family resettling in California gets the same amount per person as another family that relocates in Idaho or Texas, which have significantly cheaper costs of living. That cash assistance is supposed to pay for a security deposit and three months of rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Refugees are also eligible for safety net programs like food stamps, welfare and free health insurance for the poor. Jan’s family is on Medi-Cal, the state’s low-income health insurance program. He says the family used to be on food stamps, but in the month his eligibility was recertified his income exceeded the program’s limit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11682663\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11682663\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-800x561.jpg\" alt=\"Khisrow Jan’s youngest child, Wais, crawls on his parents’ bed.\" width=\"800\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-800x561.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-160x112.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-1020x716.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-1200x842.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-1180x828.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-960x674.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-240x168.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-375x263.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-520x365.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Khisrow Jan’s youngest child, Wais, crawls on his parents’ bed. \u003ccite>(Robbie Short/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nonprofit resettlement agencies provide important support in the way of English classes, locating refugee-friendly landlords and helping navigate school and government bureaucracies.

Waves of Vietnamese, Iranian, Central American and other immigrants have resettled here over the past few decades, escaping persecution and turmoil in their home countries. More than \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdss.ca.gov/Portals/9/Refugee/Arrivals/arrivals_by_county_and_year_since_1975.pdf?ver=2018-05-23-154958-877\">700,000 refugees\u003c/a> have come to California since the mid-1970s, including more than 30,000 in the last five years, according to state statistics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That history is partly why so many Californians pride themselves on their welcoming attitude toward newcomers displaced from their native countries. While refugee arrivals dipped dramatically last year under new Trump administration policies, the state’s progressive political leadership has \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/essential/la-pol-ca-essential-politics-updates-california-state-senate-passes-1485824122-htmlstory.html\">repeatedly branded\u003c/a> California as the refugee-friendly antidote to Trump, challenging the president’s actions to reduce refugee admissions and passing a “California Welcomes Refugees” legislative package last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Californians’ welcoming attitude only goes so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a really hard place to come, just because of the cost of living, especially the cost of housing,\" says Avi Rose, executive director of Jewish Family and Community Services East Bay, the nonprofit that assisted Jan.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'If I [had to ] do it over, I wouldn’t come to California.'\u003ccite>Khisrow Jan\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Most refugee resettlement agencies no longer place families in San Francisco because of the city’s high housing costs. In San Diego, long a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/san-diego-welcomes-refugees-california-county/\">leading destination for refugees\u003c/a>, one resettlement agency was \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2018/feb/23/federal-monitors-warned-san-diego-refugee-nonprofi/\">accused\u003c/a> of placing families in apartments that did not have enough sleeping space and advising refugees to lie to landlords about the number of people in their family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Jewish Family and Community Services East Bay resettled 183 refugees in the Bay Area, the vast majority coming from Afghanistan. Rose says his agency is moving more and more of those clients inland, away from pricier coastal cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may mean cheaper rents, but it also means refugees may be farther from communities that share their language and culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s particularly a problem with women, because the women are home usually with the kids,” says Rose. “They’re more likely to be isolated, less likely to be picking up English. It’s hard anyway, but it’s harder if you’re isolated geographically.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s part of the reason Jan stays in the Bay Area, despite the high price tag. His brother lives close by, and there are other Afghani families in his apartment complex. That makes things easier on his wife, who doesn’t speak English very well and does not have a driver’s license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I [had to ] do it over, I wouldn’t come to California,” says Jan. “Over here, it’s too much rent.

Jan doesn’t have much time for bathroom breaks during his Uber rides. It’s especially difficult to find a free restroom in San Francisco, where restaurants and gas stations typically allow access only to paying customers because of the city’s large homeless population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Jan will often pee in the bottle, typically in the back seat of his car, which has tinted windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though he worked with American troops and says he saw live combat, Jan is not eligible for veterans’ benefits. Neither are any of the other roughly 10,000 holders of “special immigrant visas” in California, a program designed for Iraqis and Afghanis who worked with the U.S. military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is frequently not safe for natives who worked with American forces to remain in their home country.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Little Support From Government, and Nothing Coming Anytime Soon\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Special immigrant visa-holders and other refugees don’t get much in the way of government support. The federal government provides a little more than $1,000 in one-time cash assistance for each refugee family member, regardless of where that family is resettling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So an Afghani family resettling in California gets the same amount per person as another family that relocates in Idaho or Texas, which have significantly cheaper costs of living. That cash assistance is supposed to pay for a security deposit and three months of rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Refugees are also eligible for safety net programs like food stamps, welfare and free health insurance for the poor. Jan’s family is on Medi-Cal, the state’s low-income health insurance program. He says the family used to be on food stamps, but in the month his eligibility was recertified his income exceeded the program’s limit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11682663\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11682663\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-800x561.jpg\" alt=\"Khisrow Jan’s youngest child, Wais, crawls on his parents’ bed.\" width=\"800\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-800x561.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-160x112.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-1020x716.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-1200x842.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-1180x828.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-960x674.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-240x168.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-375x263.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RefugeeAndBaby-520x365.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Khisrow Jan’s youngest child, Wais, crawls on his parents’ bed. \u003ccite>(Robbie Short/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nonprofit resettlement agencies provide important support in the way of English classes, locating refugee-friendly landlords and helping navigate school and government bureaucracies.
