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>Short-term rental websites are changing the communities near Yosemite National Park. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The booming vacation rental market is creating a shortage of places for locals to rent for the long-term, and in some cases it's contributing to the area's homeless problem. And now the growing lack of long-term rentals is causing a hiring issue in Yosemite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It takes an army of people to keep Yosemite National Park’s facilities tidy from the constant barrage of tourists -- 4 million people are expected to visit this year, with the majority in the summer months. This spring Ron Borne, with the maintenance division of the park, was on track to hire a full custodial staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Of 30 seasonal custodial workers that we had positions, with funds, we were only able to fill 17 of those positions,” say Borne.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He couldn't fill 10 percent of his workforce of about 300 people -- custodians, trail crews, maintenance crews -- when they chose to not work in the park because of the lack of rentals in the area. One of his employees was recently in the process of trying to rent a house in Mariposa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were negotiating and the owner came back and said, ‘No, I’m sorry.

After he sold his home in the area, he wasn’t able to find a long-term rental close to the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That gap in hires left the park vulnerable and a bit dirty this summer. During busy months thousands use the restrooms daily at Lower Yosemite Falls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re seeing that it’s dirty,” says Yosemite National Public Information Officer Scott Gediman as he shows me one of the busiest restrooms in the park. “There's some litter I see. Somebody left some gloves and there's toilet paper. We would like the public to see a cleaner restroom.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Lower Yosemite Falls restrooms have multiple stalls and sinks. Gediman says one tour bus full of visitors can make it look like no one's cleaned it in days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"b7iL6tKPY1tIojKk8DpfO1c6UnAMJhVr\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the middle of the summer we’ll get 50 to 60 tour buses a day,” Gediman says. “With the staffing shortages that we experienced this summer there were times when I walked in personally and it would just be a lot messier than it is now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gediman says potential employees can’t find places to live because so many long-term rentals are being converted to vacation rentals, like Airbnb and VRBO, in the communities that lead into the park. In Madera County there are more than 300 short-term rentals and over 600 in Mariposa County. Both counties have established guidelines for short-term rentals, but aren’t discouraging them because they stand to make a lot of money from taxes they bring in. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far this year Madera County has collected over $3 million in taxes from hotel and short-term rental visitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'After a while it takes a toll on a person'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Patty Radanovich-Sousa is a property manager in the gold rush town of Mariposa.

And now the growing lack of long-term rentals is causing a hiring issue in Yosemite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It takes an army of people to keep Yosemite National Park’s facilities tidy from the constant barrage of tourists -- 4 million people are expected to visit this year, with the majority in the summer months. This spring Ron Borne, with the maintenance division of the park, was on track to hire a full custodial staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Of 30 seasonal custodial workers that we had positions, with funds, we were only able to fill 17 of those positions,” say Borne.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He couldn't fill 10 percent of his workforce of about 300 people -- custodians, trail crews, maintenance crews -- when they chose to not work in the park because of the lack of rentals in the area. One of his employees was recently in the process of trying to rent a house in Mariposa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

After he sold his home in the area, he wasn’t able to find a long-term rental close to the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That gap in hires left the park vulnerable and a bit dirty this summer. During busy months thousands use the restrooms daily at Lower Yosemite Falls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re seeing that it’s dirty,” says Yosemite National Public Information Officer Scott Gediman as he shows me one of the busiest restrooms in the park. “There's some litter I see. Somebody left some gloves and there's toilet paper. We would like the public to see a cleaner restroom.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Lower Yosemite Falls restrooms have multiple stalls and sinks. Gediman says one tour bus full of visitors can make it look like no one's cleaned it in days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the middle of the summer we’ll get 50 to 60 tour buses a day,” Gediman says. “With the staffing shortages that we experienced this summer there were times when I walked in personally and it would just be a lot messier than it is now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gediman says potential employees can’t find places to live because so many long-term rentals are being converted to vacation rentals, like Airbnb and VRBO, in the communities that lead into the park. In Madera County there are more than 300 short-term rentals and over 600 in Mariposa County. Both counties have established guidelines for short-term rentals, but aren’t discouraging them because they stand to make a lot of money from taxes they bring in. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far this year Madera County has collected over $3 million in taxes from hotel and short-term rental visitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'After a while it takes a toll on a person'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Patty Radanovich-Sousa is a property manager in the gold rush town of Mariposa.

Today, about 1.3 million children and youth across the country fit that legal definition, the majority of them staying temporarily with friends or family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A little-known federal law — the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act — is tailored to helping those kids succeed, and this year its provisions got even stronger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet the law has been chronically underfunded for decades. Oakland Unified School District is no exception, even though a red-hot housing market contributed to a huge boost in homeless students last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcrmag/2017/10/HomelessKidsSchool.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO2.jpg\" Title=\"No Easy Road for Homeless Kids to Stay in Familiar Schools\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Up Before Dawn\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Naseem Bennett is getting ready for his first day of fifth grade. He can’t find his bubblegum toothpaste, so he has to use the adult stuff. He swirls his toothbrush in the clogged bathroom sink to take the edge off. It doesn’t help much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ahhhh,” he says, “that really stings the mouth!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sounds like a typical domestic scene, but this isn’t Naseem’s home. He and his mom, Rachael Allamby, 41, sleep in his great-grandmother’s living room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 6 a.m., Naseem’s red air mattress is propped against the wall. The couch where his mother sleeps is tidied. And all their bedding and other belongings are tucked in a tight heap in the corner, under a blanket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, Naseem lived in North Oakland with his mother, Mr. Spooky the cat and Kudjo the chihuahua.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, last fall, they got evicted from their duplex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allamby says it was a wrongful eviction, that she always paid her rent on time, but that when she was late coming up with some money for repairs, the landlord booted her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They became homeless — a word that's hard for her to use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her son had no other choice but to come here, to this small one-bedroom apartment near a leafy park in South San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naseem’s great-grandmother is sleeping with her door propped open. He and his mom try not to wake her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Naseem is the main one I worry about, because I know when he’s stressed out, \" Allamby says in a whisper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His living circumstances have taken a toll. He’s had anxiety attacks, temper tantrums, lots of stress eating, “and then traveling from here all the way to Oakland” and back again, Allamby adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that travel? That’s so Naseem can stay in the same school where he’s been since kindergarten. Where they know him, and care about him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plenty of \u003ca href=\"http://www.americaspromise.org/report/hidden-plain-sight\">research\u003c/a> shows that students who lose their housing, even briefly, perform more poorly in school. They’re often \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/downloads/briefs/chron-absent.pdf\">late or miss days\u003c/a>. They’re less likely than any other group to graduate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maintaining stability at school after a child loses his or her home, it turns out, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4139923/\">can be key to educational success.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it makes for long days for Naseem. His school is 22 miles and three counties away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naseem stuffs a bag of Dum Dums in his pocket and scrounges for his Pokémon cards, a recent gift. By 6:30 am, Allamby announces it’s time to hit the road. Naseem responds with a loud sigh that borders on a groan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pops,” she reminds him in an urgent whisper, “you need your jacket.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He grabs a black zip-up hoodie and fetches what he calls his “car,” a scooter with beat-up handlebars and busted front brakes. The BART station is more than a mile away — and the whole trip to Naseem’s Oakland school will take nearly two hours — so the scooter helps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He drags it down the stairs as dawn's light bleeds into morning. “She’s not bad,” he says, almost to himself, “but neither she’s not good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Commute\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Allamby and Naseem take a jogger’s path to the station, teasing and goofing along the way. Mom tosses out the first joke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s the name of the vegetable kung fu master?” she asks. Naseem’s right on it with the answer: “Brock Lee,” he squeals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allamby knows how to prioritize her kids’ education. Naseem’s eldest sister just started at UC Berkeley. His mom has big hopes for Naseem, too, which is why she really wants him to maintain some continuity at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want to be integrating Naseem into the schools here and then we gotta transfer again,” she explains, as Naseem trundles along next to her, gleefully pointing out a cat they often run into, and a duck feeding on weedy muck in the nearby canal. “I want him to keep the same friends and associates at the school as long as he can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keeping Naseem in the same school? It turns out that’s actually Allamby’s legal right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three decades ago, President Ronald Reagan signed the \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/legis/mv.php\">McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act \u003c/a>into federal law. The big-picture idea: to provide stability. The law \u003ca href=\"https://www.nlchp.org/documents/McKinney-Vento_FAQs\">guarantees \u003c/a>that kids who have lost their fixed housing can stay at the school they’ve been attending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It guarantees other rights too — like the right to enroll immediately at a new school without proof of residence or immunization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps most critically for many parents who wish to keep kids in their original school, the act in most circumstances \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/downloads/briefs/transportation.pdf\">pledges help with transportation costs \u003c/a>to get there and back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allamby and Naseem could really use that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11621093\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11621093\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-800x571.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-160x114.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-1020x728.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-1180x843.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-960x686.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-240x171.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-375x268.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-520x371.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rachael Allamby leans in to talk to Naseem, 10, during their nearly two-hour commute to his Oakland elementary school. They spend much of it on BART. Allamby says their fares cost her nearly $400 a month. \u003ccite>(Lee Romney/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Transit Costs\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When they get to BART, it’s time for an uncomfortable ritual. Allamby has scrounged up two BART tickets. But the combined value isn’t enough. She needs Naseem to run through the emergency gate -- again. She knows she keeps saying it’s the last time, she tells him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naseem listens. “But it’s never the last time,” he points out quietly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allamby says transit costs alone run her nearly $400 per month, so it’s a problem. Naseem makes it through without getting stopped, and when he and his mom arrive at Oakland’s MacArthur station, Allamby explains to the station agents that they are just a bit short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They let mother and son exit. These two know her, Allamby says. They saw her bring Naseem to school a lot before summer break.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They get it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone does.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Need Is Great\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Naseem’s situation is not unusual. In the 2016-17 school year, the Oakland Unified School District saw an increase of more than 50 percent in its homeless student tally – to nearly 1600 kids, according to data provided by the district’s McKinney-Vento office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And those are just the families the district knows about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trish Anderson is the district’s new McKinney-Vento liaison. She took over this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland, she says, is full of families who’ve been pushed out of stable housing. Many are invisible, doubled up like Naseem is with relatives or friends. Others are living in cars, shelters or motels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you think about the number of people in that situation in Oakland right now with the housing crisis, that number is bound to be larger than it was in the past,” Anderson says in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McKinney-Vento \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/downloads/briefs/new-liaisons.pdf\">mandates\u003c/a> that districts work with schools to identify students who’ve lost their housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District liaisons are also supposed to spread the word at soup kitchens, shelters, motels and laundromats — so that families know that they're entitled to stay in their home school, enroll without proof of an address, get transportation help, access support for school supplies and clothes, and referrals to dental care, housing and other services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s a big gap between what the law promises and what it delivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson is just one person, with a caseload of 1,600.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s funding for homeless students? It’s stayed flat for the past three school years, at $230,885, and isn’t projected to grow this year either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Education doles out federal McKinney-Vento grants to districts to help them comply with the law — but there isn’t enough to go around, and the three-year grants are competitive: \u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/fo/r16/homeless15results.asp\">Fewer than half of the 131 districts that applied in the most recent cycle, in 2015, received one.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Unified wasn’t among them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, it hasn’t received any federal grant money through the state since 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though a fifth of the nation’s homeless students live in California, the state receives just one-tenth of the funding, according to Leanne Wheeler, the homeless education coordinator for the California Department of Education. And she alone is charged with ensuring that 1,800 districts, county educational offices, and privately-funded charter schools are complying with the law. In contrast, Texas and New York have half a dozen or more such staffers on hand, Wheeler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/re/es/documents/draftmckinneyvento.doc\">changes to the federal law\u003c/a> require Wheeler to step up training for district liaisons such as Anderson. And Anderson, in turn, is now required to do more to make sure Oakland school personnel — from principals on down — get trained in the law too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, every single school district in the country is now mandated to publicly report achievement, suspension and graduation rates for homeless students, to shine a brighter light out how they’re doing and whether they’re getting the support they need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But right now, plenty fall through the cracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11621057\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11621057\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Naseem Bennett, 10, finds his name on the wall on his first day of 5th grade at Oakland's Emerson Elementary School.

Allamby recently scored a full-time job as a janitor in San Francisco, so she wasn’t able to register him on time. She catches up now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the staff here know Naseem’s situation. They figured it out last year when he started showing up late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They offered him counseling, and a coach brought Naseem clothes and a new Xbox, since he lost a lot of stuff in the eviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Principal Heather Palin says a team that includes teachers and counselors know how to spot the signs that a student might have lost his or her housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even at community schools like Emerson, which make a holistic effort to help kids and families, many employees aren’t that familiar with the McKinney-Vento law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palin’s not sure whether the information on a student’s housing status gets back to the district’s McKinney-Vento office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t say necessarily that there’s a lot of training” in the law, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a problem. Palin couldn’t talk about the specifics of Naseem’s case, for privacy reasons. But it turns out, he wasn’t included in the district’s homeless student tally last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cases like this mean that Oakland’s numbers aren’t accurate, which can affect funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More importantly, it means no one really spelled out for Allamby her rights under federal law or the services that the district can provide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of that, it’s not uncommon for parents and youth to hide their circumstances, due to embarrassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And because they don’t fully understand their rights, they’re fearful, too, that their kids might be told that they can’t stay in their schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allamby knows the school has been supportive.

It’s never had the resources to make that happen. So it doesn’t coordinate with districts outside Alameda County to help get kids to school here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It turns out, other than salaries and overhead, Oakland Unified's entire budget for homeless students goes toward AC Transit bus passes. And even there, it falls short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Around April,” Anderson said, “we’re running out of funding for transportation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Anderson learned from a reporter about Naseem’s circumstances, she arranged to have some passes dropped off at Emerson for him and his mom, since Allamby can’t easily get to the drop-in center. It’s all Anderson can offer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allamby is grateful. But the bus system only covers western Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

He and his mom, Rachael Allamby, 41, sleep in his great-grandmother’s living room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 6 a.m., Naseem’s red air mattress is propped against the wall. The couch where his mother sleeps is tidied. And all their bedding and other belongings are tucked in a tight heap in the corner, under a blanket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, Naseem lived in North Oakland with his mother, Mr. Spooky the cat and Kudjo the chihuahua.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, last fall, they got evicted from their duplex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allamby says it was a wrongful eviction, that she always paid her rent on time, but that when she was late coming up with some money for repairs, the landlord booted her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They became homeless — a word that's hard for her to use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her son had no other choice but to come here, to this small one-bedroom apartment near a leafy park in South San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naseem’s great-grandmother is sleeping with her door propped open. He and his mom try not to wake her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Naseem is the main one I worry about, because I know when he’s stressed out, \" Allamby says in a whisper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His living circumstances have taken a toll. He’s had anxiety attacks, temper tantrums, lots of stress eating, “and then traveling from here all the way to Oakland” and back again, Allamby adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that travel? That’s so Naseem can stay in the same school where he’s been since kindergarten. Where they know him, and care about him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plenty of \u003ca href=\"http://www.americaspromise.org/report/hidden-plain-sight\">research\u003c/a> shows that students who lose their housing, even briefly, perform more poorly in school. They’re often \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/downloads/briefs/chron-absent.pdf\">late or miss days\u003c/a>. They’re less likely than any other group to graduate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maintaining stability at school after a child loses his or her home, it turns out, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4139923/\">can be key to educational success.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it makes for long days for Naseem. His school is 22 miles and three counties away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naseem stuffs a bag of Dum Dums in his pocket and scrounges for his Pokémon cards, a recent gift. By 6:30 am, Allamby announces it’s time to hit the road. Naseem responds with a loud sigh that borders on a groan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pops,” she reminds him in an urgent whisper, “you need your jacket.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He grabs a black zip-up hoodie and fetches what he calls his “car,” a scooter with beat-up handlebars and busted front brakes. The BART station is more than a mile away — and the whole trip to Naseem’s Oakland school will take nearly two hours — so the scooter helps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He drags it down the stairs as dawn's light bleeds into morning. “She’s not bad,” he says, almost to himself, “but neither she’s not good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Commute\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Allamby and Naseem take a jogger’s path to the station, teasing and goofing along the way. Mom tosses out the first joke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s the name of the vegetable kung fu master?” she asks. Naseem’s right on it with the answer: “Brock Lee,” he squeals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allamby knows how to prioritize her kids’ education. Naseem’s eldest sister just started at UC Berkeley. His mom has big hopes for Naseem, too, which is why she really wants him to maintain some continuity at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want to be integrating Naseem into the schools here and then we gotta transfer again,” she explains, as Naseem trundles along next to her, gleefully pointing out a cat they often run into, and a duck feeding on weedy muck in the nearby canal. “I want him to keep the same friends and associates at the school as long as he can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keeping Naseem in the same school? It turns out that’s actually Allamby’s legal right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three decades ago, President Ronald Reagan signed the \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/legis/mv.php\">McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act \u003c/a>into federal law. The big-picture idea: to provide stability. The law \u003ca href=\"https://www.nlchp.org/documents/McKinney-Vento_FAQs\">guarantees \u003c/a>that kids who have lost their fixed housing can stay at the school they’ve been attending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It guarantees other rights too — like the right to enroll immediately at a new school without proof of residence or immunization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps most critically for many parents who wish to keep kids in their original school, the act in most circumstances \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/downloads/briefs/transportation.pdf\">pledges help with transportation costs \u003c/a>to get there and back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allamby and Naseem could really use that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11621093\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11621093\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-800x571.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-160x114.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-1020x728.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-1180x843.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-960x686.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-240x171.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-375x268.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6-520x371.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO6.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rachael Allamby leans in to talk to Naseem, 10, during their nearly two-hour commute to his Oakland elementary school. They spend much of it on BART. Allamby says their fares cost her nearly $400 a month. \u003ccite>(Lee Romney/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Transit Costs\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When they get to BART, it’s time for an uncomfortable ritual. Allamby has scrounged up two BART tickets. But the combined value isn’t enough. She needs Naseem to run through the emergency gate -- again. She knows she keeps saying it’s the last time, she tells him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naseem listens. “But it’s never the last time,” he points out quietly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allamby says transit costs alone run her nearly $400 per month, so it’s a problem. Naseem makes it through without getting stopped, and when he and his mom arrive at Oakland’s MacArthur station, Allamby explains to the station agents that they are just a bit short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They let mother and son exit. These two know her, Allamby says. They saw her bring Naseem to school a lot before summer break.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They get it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone does.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Need Is Great\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Naseem’s situation is not unusual. In the 2016-17 school year, the Oakland Unified School District saw an increase of more than 50 percent in its homeless student tally – to nearly 1600 kids, according to data provided by the district’s McKinney-Vento office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And those are just the families the district knows about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trish Anderson is the district’s new McKinney-Vento liaison. She took over this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland, she says, is full of families who’ve been pushed out of stable housing. Many are invisible, doubled up like Naseem is with relatives or friends. Others are living in cars, shelters or motels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you think about the number of people in that situation in Oakland right now with the housing crisis, that number is bound to be larger than it was in the past,” Anderson says in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McKinney-Vento \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/downloads/briefs/new-liaisons.pdf\">mandates\u003c/a> that districts work with schools to identify students who’ve lost their housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District liaisons are also supposed to spread the word at soup kitchens, shelters, motels and laundromats — so that families know that they're entitled to stay in their home school, enroll without proof of an address, get transportation help, access support for school supplies and clothes, and referrals to dental care, housing and other services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s a big gap between what the law promises and what it delivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson is just one person, with a caseload of 1,600.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s funding for homeless students? It’s stayed flat for the past three school years, at $230,885, and isn’t projected to grow this year either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Education doles out federal McKinney-Vento grants to districts to help them comply with the law — but there isn’t enough to go around, and the three-year grants are competitive: \u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/fo/r16/homeless15results.asp\">Fewer than half of the 131 districts that applied in the most recent cycle, in 2015, received one.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Unified wasn’t among them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, it hasn’t received any federal grant money through the state since 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though a fifth of the nation’s homeless students live in California, the state receives just one-tenth of the funding, according to Leanne Wheeler, the homeless education coordinator for the California Department of Education. And she alone is charged with ensuring that 1,800 districts, county educational offices, and privately-funded charter schools are complying with the law. In contrast, Texas and New York have half a dozen or more such staffers on hand, Wheeler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/re/es/documents/draftmckinneyvento.doc\">changes to the federal law\u003c/a> require Wheeler to step up training for district liaisons such as Anderson. And Anderson, in turn, is now required to do more to make sure Oakland school personnel — from principals on down — get trained in the law too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, every single school district in the country is now mandated to publicly report achievement, suspension and graduation rates for homeless students, to shine a brighter light out how they’re doing and whether they’re getting the support they need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But right now, plenty fall through the cracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11621057\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11621057\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/PHOTO1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Naseem Bennett, 10, finds his name on the wall on his first day of 5th grade at Oakland's Emerson Elementary School.

Allamby recently scored a full-time job as a janitor in San Francisco, so she wasn’t able to register him on time.

They figured it out last year when he started showing up late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They offered him counseling, and a coach brought Naseem clothes and a new Xbox, since he lost a lot of stuff in the eviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Principal Heather Palin says a team that includes teachers and counselors know how to spot the signs that a student might have lost his or her housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even at community schools like Emerson, which make a holistic effort to help kids and families, many employees aren’t that familiar with the McKinney-Vento law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palin’s not sure whether the information on a student’s housing status gets back to the district’s McKinney-Vento office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t say necessarily that there’s a lot of training” in the law, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a problem.

So Miss Grill reaches into her personal snack bag and gives Naseem a banana.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Drop-in Center\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Parents and youth who have lost their fixed housing are sometimes identified during Oakland Unified’s centralized enrollment process, when they can’t come up with proof of a current address — or if they \u003ca href=\"https://www.ousd.org/cms/lib/CA01001176/Centricity/Domain/159/FINAL%20ENROLLMENT%20FORM%20ENG_FILLABLE.pdf\">check a small box on the registration form\u003c/a> that asks whether they are homeless or doubled up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re then told to drop by the district’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.ousd.org/Domain/153\">Transitional Students & Families Unit\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Families are described as “in transition” rather than “homeless,” to reduce stigma.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the first week of school, Anderson says, her drop-in center was packed. She fixed it up with a donated sofa and comfortable chairs, decorated the walls, and got to work writing letters --to tap private companies, faith-based groups and the nonprofit sector for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson is hoping to team up with \u003ca href=\"http://www.mynewredshoes.org/\">My New Red Shoes\u003c/a>, a nonprofit organization, to secure shoes for kids and possibly gift cards, too, that families can use to buy school uniforms and other back-to-school clothing. Other nonprofits -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.feedthechildren.org/\">Feed the Children \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandpromise.org/programs/k2c/\">Kindergarten to College\u003c/a> --provide her office with backpacks and school supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And with the district’s crippling budget crisis in mind, Anderson is now pitching a host of other area businesses, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And, oh, don’t think I haven’t thought about approaching Uber or Lyft, the new transportation experts, to ask about donations from them,” she adds. “I’m on it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many districts, that community help is the best hope to comply with the McKinney-Vento law, which is clear about \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/downloads/briefs/transportation.pdf\">transit help.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a parent chooses to keep their child in the school of origin, the law spells out, Oakland Unified under nearly all circumstances must pay for transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the student is temporarily residing within another district’s boundaries, as Naseem is, the two districts are supposed to share the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Transit Troubles\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>But Oakland Unified doesn’t offer BART cards, Anderson said. It’s never had the resources to make that happen. So it doesn’t coordinate with districts outside Alameda County to help get kids to school here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It turns out, other than salaries and overhead, Oakland Unified's entire budget for homeless students goes toward AC Transit bus passes. And even there, it falls short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Around April,” Anderson said, “we’re running out of funding for transportation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Anderson learned from a reporter about Naseem’s circumstances, she arranged to have some passes dropped off at Emerson for him and his mom, since Allamby can’t easily get to the drop-in center. It’s all Anderson can offer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allamby is grateful. But the bus system only covers western Alameda and Contra Costa counties. For her core commute costs on BART, she’s out of luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Long Day\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>By the time she and Naseem get back to South San Francisco, it’s almost 8 p.m. They’ve been out of the house for more than 13 hours. They’re exhausted. Allamby worries that her son is not getting enough sleep to focus in school or on homework.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s trauma that’s harder to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we lost our home, Naseem lost his peace and quiet, his privacy, our pets, so it was just really hard for him,” Allamby says as Naseem eats popcorn and zones out on YouTube videos on her phone. “I don’t think he will ever feel comfortable at someone else’s house.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allamby loves to dream about the home she’ll share with Naseem again one day. She wants him to have his own room, with a loft bed and a desk where he can do his homework. Even his own TV and a mini-fridge, so he can bask in his privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Naseem doesn’t seem to want to play that game. Asked what he misses about Oakland, he breathes heavily. He pauses. He sighs. He doesn’t answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It destroyed about half as many homes and other buildings as the current series of fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Gov. Jerry Brown late Wednesday issued an executive order to speed up recovery efforts as fire authorities say they’ve stopped the progress of wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 15,000 people remained evacuated Thursday, down from a high of 100,000 last Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown’s order also allowed disrupted wineries to relocate tasting rooms and suspended state fees for mobile home parks and manufactured homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order extends the state’s prohibition on price gouging during emergencies until April 2018 and expedites hiring of personnel for emergency and recovery operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Los Angeles County, authorities said a charred body was found on Mount Wilson, where crews were trying to surround a smoldering wildfire in steep terrain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The male body discovered late Wednesday was recovered by the coroner’s office, which will try to identify it, Sheriff’s Sgt.

I had emergency water, energy bars. I was more prepared than most people because I had been through fire before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I first met Pamela at an evacuation shelter at the Finley Community Center in Santa Rosa. She’s in her late 50s, with a slight limp and dark purple hair. She’s been staying there with her service dog, Blue.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Things Were Getting Better\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the fall of 2015, Pamela was living on Cobb Mountain in Lake County. Things were looking up for her. After a few run-ins with the law, she left an abusive relationship and got sober. She went through a rehabilitation program and cleared her record. She was managing some of her health issues; lung disease and chronic pain from an incident in 2000 in which she says someone attacked and robbed her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been in pain ever since,” Pamela tells me. “I had to teach myself how to walk all over. They wanted to put me in a wheelchair. And I was like, ‘nuh-uh, I’m not going.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“I don’t know exactly what they’re going through, but I know what I went through. So I help wherever I can help.” \u003ccite>Pamela Voyles\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Pamela was just starting to get back on her feet. But then, one September afternoon, \u003ca href=\"http://calfire.ca.gov/fire_protection/downloads/FireReports/Valley/J_Damage%20Assessment%20Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a fire broke out\u003c/a> nearby. She had 20 minutes to gather her things and leave. By the time the Valley Fire was contained, almost 2,000 buildings were gone, including her apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had no place to go back to,” she explains. “There just wasn’t anything that I could afford up there at the time, or housing. There wasn’t enough housing for people. And so that’s why I came down to Santa Rosa.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Homeless in Santa Rosa\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Pamela spent most of two years in and out of Santa Rosa homeless shelters. She’s now bracing herself for the psychological aftermath of having to flee from flames yet again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just brought all those feelings and those flashbacks of the Valley Fire,” she says sadly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela also knows how hard it is to find housing after a fire, especially without a job — she’s on disability. Shelter workers helped her save money and rent an apartment in Santa Rosa. She says she must have put in 30 applications to different places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a long wait, she got a federal Section 8 voucher and found a one-bedroom apartment. She’s so grateful for all the support that she now volunteers with shelters, \u003ca href=\"http://www.thelivingroomsc.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Living Room\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/redwoodgospelmission\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Rose\u003c/a>. Her favorite place to help out is \u003ca href=\"http://www.homelesswithpets.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Homeless With Pets\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela moved into her new place about seven months ago. It was an adjustment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to get used to being back in your home again,” she tells me. “It’s like, oh, I can walk around the corner and go to the bathroom. I don’t have to drive to a certain building and go. Or, I can take a shower whenever I want to. I can change my clothes whenever I want to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Waiting for News\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When I talk to Pamela at the shelter, she’s waiting for news about her home. It’s just across the highway from the Fountaingrove neighborhood where the fire consumed hundreds of buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that night, she calls me and tells me that she’s allowed to visit her place during the day as long as she’s out by the sunset curfew. So, the next morning we head over.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Visiting Pamela’s Home\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Pamela’s apartment complex is in good shape. Her place is cozy, and filled with knickknacks. There are boxes piled in corners — she says she hadn’t had time to fully unpack yet. We walk around, inspecting her bedroom, the bathroom, the kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has water, but still no electricity. Pamela shows me her jewelry table, which takes up most of one wall of her apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do a lot of crafts,” she says, gesturing to the table. “I make owls out of pinecones. Before the Valley Fire I had picked up a lot of the pinecones before all the trees burnt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fire Victims Face Tough Times Ahead\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Two years after the Valley Fire, Lake County is still trying to rebuild. There was an estimated $1.5 billion in losses. Like Pamela, people left the area for better housing, though \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/6041674-181/a-year-later-valley-fires?gallery=6044366&artslide=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it’s not clear exactly how many\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Santa Rosa will likely face the same problems. The fire destroyed \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/10/13/infernos-could-worsen-bay-areas-already-brutal-housing-market/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4 percent of the city’s housing stock\u003c/a> in the midst of a regional housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And thousands of people will be looking for a new place to call home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know exactly what they’re going through, but I know what I went through,” Pamela says. “So, I help wherever I can help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela is back in her apartment now. She’s still waiting for the gas to be hooked up again. She’s grateful that her place and all her things are still here. And she empathizes with those who lost everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel for them,” Pamela says, hand to her chest. “When I first went through the fire, it was confusing, devastating, mentally, emotionally and physically.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela is one of the lucky ones — this time. But for anybody who struggles to pay the rent, anybody who’s more vulnerable because they don’t have family support or have lost their job, and for the \u003ca href=\"https://sonoma-county-continuum-of-care.wikispaces.com/file/view/ExecutiveSummary_Sonoma.pdf/615371337/ExecutiveSummary_Sonoma.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">almost 3,000 homeless living in Sonoma County\u003c/a>, life will likely be harder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These fires have long-lasting ramifications for the people who had homes — but also for the ones who didn’t.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And so that’s why I came down to Santa Rosa.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Homeless in Santa Rosa\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Pamela spent most of two years in and out of Santa Rosa homeless shelters. She’s now bracing herself for the psychological aftermath of having to flee from flames yet again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just brought all those feelings and those flashbacks of the Valley Fire,” she says sadly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela also knows how hard it is to find housing after a fire, especially without a job — she’s on disability. Shelter workers helped her save money and rent an apartment in Santa Rosa. She says she must have put in 30 applications to different places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a long wait, she got a federal Section 8 voucher and found a one-bedroom apartment. She’s so grateful for all the support that she now volunteers with shelters, \u003ca href=\"http://www.thelivingroomsc.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Living Room\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/redwoodgospelmission\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Rose\u003c/a>. Her favorite place to help out is \u003ca href=\"http://www.homelesswithpets.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Homeless With Pets\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela moved into her new place about seven months ago. It was an adjustment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to get used to being back in your home again,” she tells me. “It’s like, oh, I can walk around the corner and go to the bathroom. I don’t have to drive to a certain building and go. Or, I can take a shower whenever I want to. I can change my clothes whenever I want to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Waiting for News\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When I talk to Pamela at the shelter, she’s waiting for news about her home. It’s just across the highway from the Fountaingrove neighborhood where the fire consumed hundreds of buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that night, she calls me and tells me that she’s allowed to visit her place during the day as long as she’s out by the sunset curfew. So, the next morning we head over.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Visiting Pamela’s Home\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Pamela’s apartment complex is in good shape. Her place is cozy, and filled with knickknacks. There are boxes piled in corners — she says she hadn’t had time to fully unpack yet. We walk around, inspecting her bedroom, the bathroom, the kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has water, but still no electricity. Pamela shows me her jewelry table, which takes up most of one wall of her apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do a lot of crafts,” she says, gesturing to the table. “I make owls out of pinecones. Before the Valley Fire I had picked up a lot of the pinecones before all the trees burnt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fire Victims Face Tough Times Ahead\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Two years after the Valley Fire, Lake County is still trying to rebuild. There was an estimated $1.5 billion in losses. Like Pamela, people left the area for better housing, though \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/6041674-181/a-year-later-valley-fires?gallery=6044366&artslide=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it’s not clear exactly how many\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Santa Rosa will likely face the same problems. The fire destroyed \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/10/13/infernos-could-worsen-bay-areas-already-brutal-housing-market/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4 percent of the city’s housing stock\u003c/a> in the midst of a regional housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And thousands of people will be looking for a new place to call home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know exactly what they’re going through, but I know what I went through,” Pamela says. “So, I help wherever I can help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela is back in her apartment now. She’s still waiting for the gas to be hooked up again. She’s grateful that her place and all her things are still here. And she empathizes with those who lost everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel for them,” Pamela says, hand to her chest. “When I first went through the fire, it was confusing, devastating, mentally, emotionally and physically.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela is one of the lucky ones — this time. But for anybody who struggles to pay the rent, anybody who’s more vulnerable because they don’t have family support or have lost their job, and for the \u003ca href=\"https://sonoma-county-continuum-of-care.wikispaces.com/file/view/ExecutiveSummary_Sonoma.pdf/615371337/ExecutiveSummary_Sonoma.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">almost 3,000 homeless living in Sonoma County\u003c/a>, life will likely be harder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These fires have long-lasting ramifications for the people who had homes — but also for the ones who didn’t.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
