Bordes emerged from the front seat of his gray Nissan Altima, wearing a T-shirt, jeans and flip-flops. He walked over to his trunk that also served as his closet. The newness of the day had him bleary eyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You wake up and you’re like, 'Oh, I’m in my car,'” Bordes said. “It’s like a bad episode of ‘Groundhog Day,’ every day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bordes lived out of his car for the month of March. It was light years from what he imagined for himself. Bordes is 46 years old. He has an MBA from the University of Phoenix. He drives Uber and Lyft and has a part-time job with an online car auction company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it’s not enough to pay the bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a time, Bordes was among the estimated 134,000 Californians who are homeless, according to the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The state doesn’t keep track of how many of those people have jobs. But, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/digging-data-attainable-california-dream-today/\">as the cost of living in California continues to rise\u003c/a>, some residents find themselves with jobs that don’t pay enough to afford a stable place to live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until the end of February, Bordes rented a room in a home in Encinitas for $750 a month. But the owner decided to sell, and Bordes’s take-home pay of between $2,000 and $2,400 a month wasn’t enough to get a one-bedroom apartment in San Diego, where the average rent for a one-bedroom runs about $1,700 a month, according to MarketPointe Realty Advisors in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, he lived in his car for a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, he found a room in a home in Vista for $450 on Craigslist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s pretty small,\" Bordes said. “It’s an 8-by-8. It’s actually a laundry room. It’s got a closet. It’s got windows. It’s a place to rest my head.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he’s grateful for the room but “this situation is month-to-month.

But he said he has worked hard to rebuild his credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 3:45 a.m., Bordes' workday began. “All right, another day in paradise,” he said as he drove out to the gas station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A full tank cost him $55. Then he checked Uber and Lyft ride requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m looking for the longer rides, 45 minutes plus,” Bordes said. “I like to do two of those in the morning because it starts me off with $70 or $80 in the morning right off the bat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 4:30 a.m., his smartphone pinged. He picked up a couple in the northern tip of San Diego County to take them to the airport. He made $40.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 7 a.m., Bordes went to a gym to shower and change into a fresh set of clothes. By 7:30 a.m., he was out the door to start his next job. Already, he was tired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His shift selling cars online ended at 3 p.m., and he went back to driving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very, very exhausting,” Bordes said. “There are times during the day when I’ll just turn the apps off, if I am not working at my other job, and just try to catch a 15-minute nap because I’m exhausted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-GW21x96VA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Bordes was living in his car, he made sure to leave room in his trunk for his passenger’s luggage. He hid his own belongings -- clothes, laptop, pillow and blanket -- tucked underneath a black towel. He didn’t often talk about his living circumstances but said the typical reaction when he did was one of disbelief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s shock,” Bordes said. “It’s like, ’Whoa, why are you living in your car?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bordes asked himself that same question. He thought his MBA would have enabled him to get a job that paid at least between $75,000 and $100,000 a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought the degree would make me more marketable,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it hasn’t paid off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bordes said he sneaks in time during the day to search for sales and marketing jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, he has received only rejections.

The work. The living situation. It has drained him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are times I just get really emotional,” Bordes said. “I just start crying. I get really sad. One of the things I think about is, 'Oh, yeah my parents would be real proud of me, 46, living in my car.' My parents had bigger dreams. My dad never went to college. My mom didn’t go to college either. They held bigger dreams for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there was fire in his eyes when asked what he would like to know from California’s politicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How did we get here?” Bordes wanted to know. “How did we get to a point where we devalue human life to where it’s OK if we step over homeless people? Why isn’t there more housing being built for lower-income families? What are we doing to bring more jobs in?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After another two-hour Uber/Lyft shift, at 8:30 p.m., Bordes finished his day. His fatigue left him cynical about how the state’s politicians might answer him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don’t care,” Bordes said. “Honestly, they don’t care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The California Dream series\u003c/a> is a statewide media collaboration of CALmatters, KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the James Irvine Foundation and the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11660142\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-800x219.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-800x219.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-160x44.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-1020x280.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-1180x324.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-960x263.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-240x66.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-375x103.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-520x143.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner.jpg 1867w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\n",

It’s actually a laundry room. It’s got a closet. It’s got windows. It’s a place to rest my head.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he’s grateful for the room but “this situation is month-to-month.

The summer after the Valley Fire, an arsonist allegedly sparked the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11052363/clayton-fire-how-to-help\">Clayton Fire,\u003c/a> destroying 300 more buildings and wiping out much of downtown Lower Lake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early 2017, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lakeconews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49866:city-of-lakeport-issues-mandatory-evacuations-for-several-locations-due-to-rising-flood-waters&catid=1:latest&Itemid=197\">Willow Point Flood\u003c/a> forced more residents in Lakeport from their homes. Then in October the \u003ca href=\"http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/incidents_details_info?incident_id=1876\">Sulphur Fire\u003c/a> burned down 162 more structures along the waterfront of Clear Lake, California’s largest natural lake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing in Lake County is being destroyed at an alarming rate.

Less than 200 homes have been rebuilt since 2015, according to the county administrator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Levenson’s house burned down, she says finding a stable place to live was nearly impossible. Three percent of all housing stock in the county had been destroyed, making the rental market highly competitive. On top of that she couldn’t afford to keep shelling out $35 to $65 for each rental application she filled out. And once she did find a place, her insurance company required that she keep house-hunting every three months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Into this widespread housing crisis stepped an unlikely savior. Levenson is now the longest-term resident of Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa, a place that has its own unique history in Lake County, and that has come to serve an entirely new purpose to survivors like Levenson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11663586\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11663586\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30500_IMG_0012-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The signage at Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa's front gate still advertises Summerfest 2009, the year the resort had to close. \" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30500_IMG_0012-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30500_IMG_0012-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30500_IMG_0012-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30500_IMG_0012-qut-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30500_IMG_0012-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30500_IMG_0012-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30500_IMG_0012-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30500_IMG_0012-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30500_IMG_0012-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/RS30500_IMG_0012-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The signage at Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa's front gate still advertises Summerfest 2009, the year the resort had to close. \u003ccite>(Sukey Lewis/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Last Resort\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ualocal38.org/\">UA Local 38, Plumbers and Pipefitters Union\u003c/a> opened Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa in the small town of Kelseyville in 1959 as a place for union members to vacation. Over the years it became a destination, complete with a 5,000-seat amphitheater that hosted bands like the Scorpions and Kiss. People would come to see live music, jet ski and stay at the 300-room resort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a series of \u003ca href=\"https://archives.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/mazzola-is-slippery/Content?oid=2162968\">lawsuits\u003c/a> and financial troubles forced the union to close the resort in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years it sat empty, quietly sliding into disrepair. A number of sales were rumored, but ultimately fell through. Then, when disaster struck in 2015, the union stepped in and offered the resort to FEMA and county officials as a place to house fire victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levenson pays about $1,000 a month to stay in what’s essentially a one-bedroom apartment. It’s not without its quirks. Out the sliding glass door she’s got a beautiful view of the lake, and a hot tub that doesn’t work, all framed by rotting green trim. She has gone days without power, running water and heat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, she says, she's just grateful to have somewhere to be, and that the skeleton crew who managed the place treated her and other survivors like guests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sounds mushy, but every county should be so lucky as to have an old defunct resort that could step in like this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11663593\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/IMG_1882-e1524270544365.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11663593\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/IMG_1882-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa's new owners say they want to breathe life back into the decaying property.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa's new owners say they want to breathe life back into the decaying property. \u003ccite>(Sukey Lewis/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When she first moved in, Levenson says about 100 other people stayed there.

It created another wave of refugees.

Over the years it became a destination, complete with a 5,000-seat amphitheater that hosted bands like the Scorpions and Kiss. People would come to see live music, jet ski and stay at the 300-room resort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a series of \u003ca href=\"https://archives.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/mazzola-is-slippery/Content?oid=2162968\">lawsuits\u003c/a> and financial troubles forced the union to close the resort in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years it sat empty, quietly sliding into disrepair.

Then, when disaster struck in 2015, the union stepped in and offered the resort to FEMA and county officials as a place to house fire victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levenson pays about $1,000 a month to stay in what’s essentially a one-bedroom apartment. It’s not without its quirks. Out the sliding glass door she’s got a beautiful view of the lake, and a hot tub that doesn’t work, all framed by rotting green trim. She has gone days without power, running water and heat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, she says, she's just grateful to have somewhere to be, and that the skeleton crew who managed the place treated her and other survivors like guests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sounds mushy, but every county should be so lucky as to have an old defunct resort that could step in like this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11663593\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/IMG_1882-e1524270544365.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11663593\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/IMG_1882-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa's new owners say they want to breathe life back into the decaying property.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa's new owners say they want to breathe life back into the decaying property. \u003ccite>(Sukey Lewis/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When she first moved in, Levenson says about 100 other people stayed there.

Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers voted against the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authored by state Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco, the bill would have allowed developers to build five-story apartment buildings near major public transit stops, including neighborhoods previously zoned for single-family homes. The bill received a ton of media attention, both in California and nationally, including a fairly flattering \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/16/business/energy-environment/climate-density.html\">write-up\u003c/a> on the front page of the New York Times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Urbanist “Yes In My Backyard” (YIMBY) groups mourned the bill’s death as yet another roadblock to building the new housing the state so desperately needs. Cities and anti-gentrification groups cheered the demise of what they viewed as an unprecedented inroad on local control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What to make of all the hubbub? Some key takeaways:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Enemies, enemies, got a lot of enemies\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It’s tough for anyone to take on cities and counties, which wield enormous power in Sacramento and to whom state legislators often give considerable deference. It’s tough for anyone to take on the construction trades union, a major source of campaign contributions for Democratic lawmakers. It’s tough for anyone to take on equity and social justice groups, who can bend the ear of progressive legislators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s really tough to take on all three at the same time. That likely wasn’t Wiener’s strategy when he introduced SB 827, but that’s ultimately what helped doom the bill. The support of real estate agents, developers, YIMBYs and a handful of affordable housing advocates couldn’t muster the votes he needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the bill arguably made a misstep in not courting social justice groups early enough. A flurry of \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@Scott_Wiener/sb-827-amendments-affordability-transit-lines-height-ellis-act-protections-more-fae09ee3f897\">amendments\u003c/a> to protect renters from being displaced and to force developers to include units reserved for lower-income tenants failed to calm their concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Wiener was able to push through \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB35\">a bill\u003c/a> that stripped local control over some housing developments by getting labor and affordability advocates on his side. That bill was also part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/essential/la-pol-ca-essential-politics-updates-california-senate-passes-package-of-1496339298-htmlstory.html\">larger package\u003c/a> of housing legislation that had something for everyone, including a new revenue source. Gov. Jerry Brown was a driving force behind that package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of that happened this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11663122\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11663122\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/827Opponents-800x476.jpg\" alt=\"Opponents came from San Francisco and its environs to lobby against the bill—and the gentrification they feared it would bring.\" width=\"800\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/827Opponents.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/827Opponents-160x95.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/827Opponents-240x143.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/827Opponents-375x223.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/827Opponents-520x309.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Opponents came from San Francisco and its environs to lobby against the bill—and the gentrification they feared it would bring. \u003ccite>(Matt Levin/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>The bill did spark a statewide debate on whether to up density to help remedy our housing crisis\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>What Wiener was attempting was truly revolutionary. You can debate how dramatically the character of a city would change by building a five-story apartment building next to a single-family home. But taking away the power of local governments to block those types of developments was a pretty radical step—a step that a growing number of Californians think is necessary to prevent cities from obstructing new housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill garnered support from prominent urban planners, environmentalists and civil rights advocates. It’s both cliched and premature to say it shifted the needle on the housing debate. But it certainly framed the conversation squarely around the state’s role in compelling cities to build.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Expect something like this to come back soon\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Nearly every Democratic legislator who voted against SB 827 caveated their opposition by praising the bill’s vision and audacity. Sen. Jim Beall, a Democrat from San Jose and chair of the housing committee, said at the hearing that while he couldn’t support the bill in its current form, he was eager to work on something like it in the months ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Could SB 827 ever rise from the dead? Well for his part, Wiener has vowed to reintroduce something like it in the future. Combining his push for density around transit stations with a broader mix of tenant protections and new funding for affordable housing could make it more palatable to the interest groups Wiener needs to succeed.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That likely wasn’t Wiener’s strategy when he introduced SB 827, but that’s ultimately what helped doom the bill. The support of real estate agents, developers, YIMBYs and a handful of affordable housing advocates couldn’t muster the votes he needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the bill arguably made a misstep in not courting social justice groups early enough.

You can debate how dramatically the character of a city would change by building a five-story apartment building next to a single-family home.

Well for his part, Wiener has vowed to reintroduce something like it in the future.

Homeless Services Authority, likely through contracts with community providers. Any on-site services would ideally be paid for by L.A. County, he said, adding that the city is in talks with the county to determine whether funds from Measure H, a new sales tax, could pay for services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simultaneously, the city has been working with the state to establish \"alternative minimum health and safety standards\" to apply to the temporary shelters, which would relieve the structures of some of the need to conform to building and fire safety codes, said Szabo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The need for such standards and any zoning changes and other red tape would be substantially reduced if the L.A. City Council enacts an emergency declaration regarding homelessness. The council is expected to take up such a declaration on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for siting, Szabo said no council district or neighborhood would be forced to open a shelter against the community's wishes. Neighborhood councils would be involved in locating sites. And the district's city council representative would still have the ability to nix any project, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But should a council district not use its funds in short order, it would lose access to them, and to the promise of stepped-up encampment cleanups, Szabo noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money could potentially fund up to 100 beds in each council district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11662867\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11662867\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-800x498.jpg\" alt=\"A homeless woman stands in front of her tent near Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles on June 20, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-800x498.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-160x100.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-1020x635.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-1200x747.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-1180x734.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-960x598.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-240x149.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-375x233.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-520x324.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A homeless woman stands in front of her tent near Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles on June 20, 2017. \u003ccite>(FREDERIC J.

Yes to people being under a roof instead of leaving people on the streets to suffer?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, finding shelter sites has been a challenge around Southern California because many neighborhoods don't want them, so the opinions of residents across L.A. are a potential concern for Garcetti's new plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Ko, director of Homeless Initiatives for United Way of Greater Los Angeles, said his organization's polling shows that L.A. residents actually do support more shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think people understand that other solutions are just temporary and patchworks. People that we've spoken to, as long as they know that there's a plan and that there's something that is more holistic that will move people inside, that's what our residents are really asking for at the end of the day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That idea of a more holistic, permanent solution to homelessness is something that should be incorporated into this plan and the shelters being built, Ko said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we need to make sure is that every single bed constructed has a connection to permanent housing. We've started calling these solutions bridge housing because we want them to connect to the next step of exiting homelessness. Unless every bed has a connection to a permanent exit, they become bridges to nowhere.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ko said that means having enough permanent housing to accommodate everyone in shelters later moving to a permanent home.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Homeless Services Authority, likely through contracts with community providers. Any on-site services would ideally be paid for by L.A. County, he said, adding that the city is in talks with the county to determine whether funds from Measure H, a new sales tax, could pay for services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simultaneously, the city has been working with the state to establish \"alternative minimum health and safety standards\" to apply to the temporary shelters, which would relieve the structures of some of the need to conform to building and fire safety codes, said Szabo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The need for such standards and any zoning changes and other red tape would be substantially reduced if the L.A. City Council enacts an emergency declaration regarding homelessness. The council is expected to take up such a declaration on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for siting, Szabo said no council district or neighborhood would be forced to open a shelter against the community's wishes. Neighborhood councils would be involved in locating sites. And the district's city council representative would still have the ability to nix any project, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But should a council district not use its funds in short order, it would lose access to them, and to the promise of stepped-up encampment cleanups, Szabo noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money could potentially fund up to 100 beds in each council district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11662867\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11662867\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-800x498.jpg\" alt=\"A homeless woman stands in front of her tent near Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles on June 20, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-800x498.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-160x100.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-1020x635.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-1200x747.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-1180x734.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-960x598.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-240x149.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-375x233.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/LAHomeless-520x324.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A homeless woman stands in front of her tent near Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles on June 20, 2017. \u003ccite>(FREDERIC J.

Yes to people being under a roof instead of leaving people on the streets to suffer?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, finding shelter sites has been a challenge around Southern California because many neighborhoods don't want them, so the opinions of residents across L.A. are a potential concern for Garcetti's new plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Ko, director of Homeless Initiatives for United Way of Greater Los Angeles, said his organization's polling shows that L.A. residents actually do support more shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think people understand that other solutions are just temporary and patchworks. People that we've spoken to, as long as they know that there's a plan and that there's something that is more holistic that will move people inside, that's what our residents are really asking for at the end of the day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That idea of a more holistic, permanent solution to homelessness is something that should be incorporated into this plan and the shelters being built, Ko said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we need to make sure is that every single bed constructed has a connection to permanent housing. We've started calling these solutions bridge housing because we want them to connect to the next step of exiting homelessness. Unless every bed has a connection to a permanent exit, they become bridges to nowhere.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
