"content": "\u003cp>How many times have you walked past somebody living on the streets in your neighborhood and felt conflicted, guilty, afraid or just not sure how to help?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes people are also \"worried they might inadvertently hurt somebody by giving them money,\" says Rose Broome, co-founder of a crowdfunding site for \"homeless people and neighbors in need\" called \u003ca href=\"https://handup.org/\">HandUp\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week HandUp launched a program in San Francisco it hopes will empower people to do something about homelessness -- and start a conversation with someone in need -- by giving them \u003ca href=\"https://handup.org/giftcards\">a $25 gift card\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, $25 is obviously not going to end someone's homelessness, explains Emily Cohen of \u003ca href=\"http://www.projecthomelessconnect.org/\">Project Homeless Connect\u003c/a>. However, because it can be redeemed only through HandUp's partners, what it's going to do is begin a relationship with a social service provider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're going to trust us for some of those harder conversations: housing, mental health, addiction recovery,\" says Cohen. \"We really see the gift card as the engagement tool to start those other conversations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen says people who are homeless sometimes hesitate to seek services for a number of reasons. They may not know what's out there or don't think an organization can meet their needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with a gift card that can be exchanged for basic needs, like food or clothing, or put into a savings account for dental or pet care, Cohen says donors are giving that person something of real value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The card, which can be purchased online and is then sent in the mail to the buyer, includes instructions and a map to Project Homeless Connect's office. It says: \"Your neighbor gave you this gift card because they care about you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HandUp has been testing the cards for several weeks. Cohen described how a young woman who was given a card came into the project's daily drop-in center on Van Ness Avenue near Market Street last week confused about what it meant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a little bit of disbelief,\" says Cohen. But they had a conversation about the wide variety of services Project Homeless Connect provides, and the woman wound up being excited not just about the gift card, but about the possibility of getting prescription glasses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"HandUp offers us the ability to say yes, when there's often so many no's in our social safety net,\" says Cohen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, Project Homeless Connect is the only partner through which the gift cards can be redeemed. Ideally, though, HandUp would like to make the card redeemable at agencies throughout the city, and potentially at single-room-occupancy hotels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Here in San Francisco, homelessness is becoming more and more visible and the community is asking why, what's happening and what can we do?\" says Broome. \"We have a responsibility to help our fellow citizens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city's \u003ca href=\"http://sfgov.org/lhcb/sites/sfgov.org.lhcb/files/2015%20San%20Francisco%20Homeless%20Count%20%20Report_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">latest homeless count\u003c/a> found more than 3,500 people living unsheltered, meaning they are living on the streets, in vehicles, encampments or other uninhabitable places. More than 7,500 people reported being homeless, including families and children, and a majority said they were living in San Francisco when they lost their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HandUp, which \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/26/draft-website-lets-homeless-needy-san-franciscans-solicit-donations-throug/\" target=\"_blank\">launched nearly two years ago\u003c/a>, allows donors to give money directly to individuals, who earn points that are redeemed through one of the company's social service providers.

"content": "\u003cp>Rose could be anywhere from 10 to 12 years old. The stray Chihuahua showed up one day in Amanda Smulevitz’s Oakland neighborhood, and the woman eventually took the dog in. A few years later, Smulevitz adopted Lily, a soon-to-be-6-year-old of the same breed, saving her from a home where she'd been mistreated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A retired and disabled mother of a special-needs son, Smulevitz has lived in Oakland for almost 50 years. But she was forced to leave her pet-friendly apartment earlier this year, when the building’s new owner refused to give her a new lease. Though she qualifies for Section 8 housing, after months of searching, Smulevitz still hasn’t found a place to live, let alone one that will accommodate her two dogs. For now, she and her son sleep on friends’ living room floors. Rose and Lily sleep with strangers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was the lady in the neighborhood who was always fussing at people, ‘Oh, I’d never give up my dogs just because a place didn’t take animals, and I’d find another place,’” Smulevitz said. “But I’ve eaten my words a hundred fold now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Bay Area’s housing crisis worsens, many animal shelters across the region have seen a recent uptick in owner surrenders -- mostly dogs, but also cats and other pets. Finding affordable housing is hard enough; finding affordable housing that accommodates pets can be impossible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No Solid Answers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After getting priced out of San Francisco, Lisa Bassi moved to San Pablo, the only place where she could find affordable housing that would accommodate her three dogs. She now commutes to her job as the client contact center manager at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfspca.org/?gclid=CIGhnsHdsMcCFQoKaQodsGMBJA\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco SPCA\u003c/a>, where she fields calls from pet owners dealing with the same types of problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, housing woes are responsible for a quarter of all surrenders at the SF SPCA, making it the single most common reason for giving up a pet. Most of the surrenders come from residents in the Bayview-Hunter’s Point and Mission neighborhoods, where Zillow reports a 17-20 percent rent increase since this time last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last year-and-a-half, the SF SPCA’s Surrender Division has worked hard to keep pets and owners together, diverting about 30 percent of the calls they receive. If a pet has behavioral issues, they can provide training resources and hopefully solve the problem. But “for housing, it’s tricky because there just isn’t a lot out there,” Bassi said. “We don’t have any solid answers or solid help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the best the SF SPCA can offer is well-worn advice: Check Craigslist for pet-friendly housing and try to re-home with family or friends. The organization's Krista Maloney suggests preparing a “pet resume,” complete with description, photos and references from past landlords who can vouch for the animals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sounds crazy, but we’re in a really crazy market right now,” Maloney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10646959\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10646959\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"At the San Francisco SPCA's client contact center, operators field calls from owners facing pet surrender.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the San Francisco SPCA's client contact center, operators field calls from owners facing pet surrender. \u003ccite>(Susan Cohen/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the East Bay, Rebecca Katz heads up \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandanimalservices.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland Animal Services\u003c/a>, the city’s public shelter.

The stray Chihuahua showed up one day in Amanda Smulevitz’s Oakland neighborhood, and the woman eventually took the dog in. A few years later, Smulevitz adopted Lily, a soon-to-be-6-year-old of the same breed, saving her from a home where she'd been mistreated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A retired and disabled mother of a special-needs son, Smulevitz has lived in Oakland for almost 50 years. But she was forced to leave her pet-friendly apartment earlier this year, when the building’s new owner refused to give her a new lease. Though she qualifies for Section 8 housing, after months of searching, Smulevitz still hasn’t found a place to live, let alone one that will accommodate her two dogs. For now, she and her son sleep on friends’ living room floors. Rose and Lily sleep with strangers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was the lady in the neighborhood who was always fussing at people, ‘Oh, I’d never give up my dogs just because a place didn’t take animals, and I’d find another place,’” Smulevitz said. “But I’ve eaten my words a hundred fold now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Bay Area’s housing crisis worsens, many animal shelters across the region have seen a recent uptick in owner surrenders -- mostly dogs, but also cats and other pets. Finding affordable housing is hard enough; finding affordable housing that accommodates pets can be impossible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No Solid Answers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She now commutes to her job as the client contact center manager at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfspca.org/?gclid=CIGhnsHdsMcCFQoKaQodsGMBJA\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco SPCA\u003c/a>, where she fields calls from pet owners dealing with the same types of problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, housing woes are responsible for a quarter of all surrenders at the SF SPCA, making it the single most common reason for giving up a pet. Most of the surrenders come from residents in the Bayview-Hunter’s Point and Mission neighborhoods, where Zillow reports a 17-20 percent rent increase since this time last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last year-and-a-half, the SF SPCA’s Surrender Division has worked hard to keep pets and owners together, diverting about 30 percent of the calls they receive. If a pet has behavioral issues, they can provide training resources and hopefully solve the problem. But “for housing, it’s tricky because there just isn’t a lot out there,” Bassi said. “We don’t have any solid answers or solid help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the best the SF SPCA can offer is well-worn advice: Check Craigslist for pet-friendly housing and try to re-home with family or friends. The organization's Krista Maloney suggests preparing a “pet resume,” complete with description, photos and references from past landlords who can vouch for the animals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sounds crazy, but we’re in a really crazy market right now,” Maloney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10646959\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10646959\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"At the San Francisco SPCA's client contact center, operators field calls from owners facing pet surrender.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/petsurrender3-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the San Francisco SPCA's client contact center, operators field calls from owners facing pet surrender. \u003ccite>(Susan Cohen/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the East Bay, Rebecca Katz heads up \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandanimalservices.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland Animal Services\u003c/a>, the city’s public shelter.

Officials said that changes to city codes might be necessary, though until now state environmental laws and reviews have been sufficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Official maps upon which the city’s 2008 flood ordinance is based do not account for future sea rise. Developers say this means the city lacks the legal grounds to prevent building there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past five years, San Francisco land-use agencies have approved residential, entertainment, retail, medical and office projects on nearly 50 waterfront parcels that are less than 8 feet above sea level. Major projects are somewhere in the approval process for Treasure Island and in parts of South of Market, Pier 70, Candlestick Point and Hunters Point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most contentious is the Golden State Warriors’ $1 billion plan for a mixed-use facility in the Mission Bay neighborhood south of downtown. Opponents of the project, centered around an arena for the 2015 NBA champions, have focused on how it would affect traffic and bay views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a survey of 13 communities around the bay with the most intense waterfront development, the Public Press found that six had progressed beyond studying the threat of sea rise but none had an action plan. And only two — San Francisco and San Jose — had changed rules for any departments that oversee land use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2009 report for the California Energy Commission, the Pacific Institute, an Oakland-based research group advocating for corporate environmental stewardship and social equity, estimated that property lost in the event of 4.6 feet of sea rise by 2099 would cost the Bay Area $62 billion (nearly two-thirds the cost for all of California).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This inundation would require rebuilding the airports serving San Francisco and Oakland, and moving parts of interstates 101 on the Peninsula and 80 in the East Bay. It could also put 270,000 people in danger during severe floods, the report warned, and “continued development in vulnerable areas will put additional areas at risk and raise protection costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10622865\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/KINGTIDES_locations_06.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/KINGTIDES_locations_06-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"During king tides, which occur when the gravity of the sun and the moon align, 'We can get an idea of what a permanent rise in sea level might look like in our communities,' says the California King Tides Project.

The proposed megaprojects promise tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue. Some cities are offering developers tax credits, low-cost land and flood-control infrastructure to encourage building on their shorelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acting alone, cities risk pushing floodwaters into neighboring areas. In the short term, to avoid ringing the whole bay with barriers, communities could surround themselves with small levees and extend them inland up creeks. This would keep water from neighboring communities out, until it got too high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The common roadblocks that environmentalists face nationwide in raising concern over adaptation to climate change, such as distrust of science or lobbying by the fossil fuel industry, play only a small role in Bay Area politics. Here, the obstacles involve pressure from the real estate, construction and tech businesses emphasizing short-term economic opportunity over more precautionary environmental perspectives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco planning staffers say they evaluate each application for its response to the threat of sea level rise and suggest a range of adaptation strategies. According to public records, in the last five years the city has approved more than 50 projects, each worth at least $1 million, in low-lying waterfront areas. The estimated development costs of these projects exceed $4.5 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A report in June 2014 from San Francisco’s civil grand jury — a volunteer committee that examines local government — concluded that San Francisco was not moving nearly fast enough to protect public safety in the event of sea rise. Behar, who last year headed the city’s interagency Sea Level Rise Technical Committee, said scientists’ increasing confidence in their projections and the degree of agreement among them support taking action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Mayor Ed Lee convened a new panel, the Sea Level Rise Coordinating Committee, chaired by Gil Kelley, the director of citywide planning, and Fuad Sweiss, the city engineer. He said the group would produce a “high-level assessment” of risks and vulnerabilities, and consider recommending stricter rules for private development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maryta Piazza, corresponding secretary of the civil grand jury, told a Board of Supervisors committee in September 2014 that the city should impose a moratorium on private developments until its codes are updated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we don’t stay ahead of the trend,” Piazza said, “as we are now we’ll be forever catching up, fixing up, and ending up spending much more money in the long run.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Visit \u003c/i>\u003ca href=\"http://sfpublicpress.org/searise\">\u003ci>sfpublicpress.org/searise\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003ci> for a longer version of this story, including accompanying articles, graphics, photos and maps that appear in the summer 2015 print edition of the San Francisco Public Press.

But the city has yet to update its flood plain ordinance or planning and building codes to address increasing flood risk on the waterfront.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Creating consistent rules governing private property could be a challenge. “Regulations around climate change are in their infancy, or nonexistent,” said David Behar, climate program director for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission has updated its flood maps, which guide public works investments, but other agencies do not impose those guidelines on private property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Ed Lee and the Board of Supervisors last year resisted a call from the chair of the city’s civil grand jury to stop approving new shoreline development until stricter building rules are passed. Officials said that changes to city codes might be necessary, though until now state environmental laws and reviews have been sufficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Official maps upon which the city’s 2008 flood ordinance is based do not account for future sea rise. Developers say this means the city lacks the legal grounds to prevent building there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past five years, San Francisco land-use agencies have approved residential, entertainment, retail, medical and office projects on nearly 50 waterfront parcels that are less than 8 feet above sea level. Major projects are somewhere in the approval process for Treasure Island and in parts of South of Market, Pier 70, Candlestick Point and Hunters Point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most contentious is the Golden State Warriors’ $1 billion plan for a mixed-use facility in the Mission Bay neighborhood south of downtown. Opponents of the project, centered around an arena for the 2015 NBA champions, have focused on how it would affect traffic and bay views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a survey of 13 communities around the bay with the most intense waterfront development, the Public Press found that six had progressed beyond studying the threat of sea rise but none had an action plan. And only two — San Francisco and San Jose — had changed rules for any departments that oversee land use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2009 report for the California Energy Commission, the Pacific Institute, an Oakland-based research group advocating for corporate environmental stewardship and social equity, estimated that property lost in the event of 4.6 feet of sea rise by 2099 would cost the Bay Area $62 billion (nearly two-thirds the cost for all of California).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This inundation would require rebuilding the airports serving San Francisco and Oakland, and moving parts of interstates 101 on the Peninsula and 80 in the East Bay. It could also put 270,000 people in danger during severe floods, the report warned, and “continued development in vulnerable areas will put additional areas at risk and raise protection costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10622865\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/KINGTIDES_locations_06.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/KINGTIDES_locations_06-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"During king tides, which occur when the gravity of the sun and the moon align, 'We can get an idea of what a permanent rise in sea level might look like in our communities,' says the California King Tides Project.

The proposed megaprojects promise tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue. Some cities are offering developers tax credits, low-cost land and flood-control infrastructure to encourage building on their shorelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acting alone, cities risk pushing floodwaters into neighboring areas. In the short term, to avoid ringing the whole bay with barriers, communities could surround themselves with small levees and extend them inland up creeks. This would keep water from neighboring communities out, until it got too high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The common roadblocks that environmentalists face nationwide in raising concern over adaptation to climate change, such as distrust of science or lobbying by the fossil fuel industry, play only a small role in Bay Area politics. Here, the obstacles involve pressure from the real estate, construction and tech businesses emphasizing short-term economic opportunity over more precautionary environmental perspectives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco planning staffers say they evaluate each application for its response to the threat of sea level rise and suggest a range of adaptation strategies. According to public records, in the last five years the city has approved more than 50 projects, each worth at least $1 million, in low-lying waterfront areas. The estimated development costs of these projects exceed $4.5 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A report in June 2014 from San Francisco’s civil grand jury — a volunteer committee that examines local government — concluded that San Francisco was not moving nearly fast enough to protect public safety in the event of sea rise. Behar, who last year headed the city’s interagency Sea Level Rise Technical Committee, said scientists’ increasing confidence in their projections and the degree of agreement among them support taking action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Mayor Ed Lee convened a new panel, the Sea Level Rise Coordinating Committee, chaired by Gil Kelley, the director of citywide planning, and Fuad Sweiss, the city engineer. He said the group would produce a “high-level assessment” of risks and vulnerabilities, and consider recommending stricter rules for private development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maryta Piazza, corresponding secretary of the civil grand jury, told a Board of Supervisors committee in September 2014 that the city should impose a moratorium on private developments until its codes are updated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we don’t stay ahead of the trend,” Piazza said, “as we are now we’ll be forever catching up, fixing up, and ending up spending much more money in the long run.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If a developer can’t make money and include that, he’s not a good developer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As local artists and members of the community voice their anger towards BIA on social media and rally email-writing campaigns, the conversation also turns towards the possibilities of even more support for the arts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spertus has hopes for the city’s future arts spending, barring any setbacks from the lawsuit. “I hope the percent for art can translate into more artists grants.

In San Mateo County, 1.2 percent of homes — one in 80 — were affordable for teachers; in Santa Clara County, the number was 1.3 percent.

Among the latter, she mentions a San Francisco program that provides down-payment loans to teachers and one district’s more direct intervention in the housing market:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Perhaps one of the most straightforward solutions to the lack of affordable housing for teachers in the Valley is the “Casa del Maestro,” or “House of the Teacher” apartment complex in the city of Santa Clara. Over the past 15 years, 70 one- and two-bedroom units have been built on district-owned land and rented only to new Santa Clara public-school teachers at reduced prices ranging from $1,110 to $1,805 a month for a maximum period of seven years.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But Mongeau’s conclusion is, well, less than hopeful:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>If a Bay Area tech company needs to set up a server farm, they could, say, open it in a less expensive mid-sized city, like Bend, Oregon. But a Bay Area school has no such luxury. Advances in computer-based learning aside, Stolan’s eighth-graders are unlikely to teach themselves algebra while he monitors their work from Oregon via video conference call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t really have teachers just living in the Pacific Ocean,” Brennan said. “We need to make sure these workers can afford to be in our communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unless something changes drastically (or an as-yet-unknown app is invented to solve the problem), Silicon Valley risks losing the very people it’s counting on to educate its future stars.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>KQED News morning anchor Joshua Johnson talked to Mongeau about the situation Monday morning:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/216581151&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

In San Mateo County, 1.2 percent of homes — one in 80 — were affordable for teachers; in Santa Clara County, the number was 1.3 percent. The more affordable counties for teachers: Solano (22 percent), Marin (12 percent), Alameda (9.7 percent) and Contra Costa (8.6 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lillian Mongeau, who has reported on education for KQED News and now writes for \u003ca href=\"http://hechingerreport.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hechinger Report\u003c/a> — published by Columbia University’s Hechinger Institute on Education and the Media — has just taken a closer look at how the teacher housing issue is playing out in Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2015/07/silicon-valley-housing-tough-on-teachers/399071/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a piece published last week\u003c/a> by The Atlantic, she looks at the roots of the problem — the high-tech industry salaries chasing a limited supply of housing, for instance — and some suggested remedies. Among the latter, she mentions a San Francisco program that provides down-payment loans to teachers and one district’s more direct intervention in the housing market:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Perhaps one of the most straightforward solutions to the lack of affordable housing for teachers in the Valley is the “Casa del Maestro,” or “House of the Teacher” apartment complex in the city of Santa Clara. Over the past 15 years, 70 one- and two-bedroom units have been built on district-owned land and rented only to new Santa Clara public-school teachers at reduced prices ranging from $1,110 to $1,805 a month for a maximum period of seven years.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But Mongeau’s conclusion is, well, less than hopeful:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>If a Bay Area tech company needs to set up a server farm, they could, say, open it in a less expensive mid-sized city, like Bend, Oregon. But a Bay Area school has no such luxury. Advances in computer-based learning aside, Stolan’s eighth-graders are unlikely to teach themselves algebra while he monitors their work from Oregon via video conference call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t really have teachers just living in the Pacific Ocean,” Brennan said. “We need to make sure these workers can afford to be in our communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unless something changes drastically (or an as-yet-unknown app is invented to solve the problem), Silicon Valley risks losing the very people it’s counting on to educate its future stars.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>KQED News morning anchor Joshua Johnson talked to Mongeau about the situation Monday morning:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/216581151&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
