Local governments that don’t present viable plans can now face lawsuits, lose state funding for transportation and affordable housing, or trigger laws that allow developers to \u003ca href=\"https://www.lewis.ucla.edu/research/a-primer-on-californias-builders-remedy-for-housing-element-noncompliance/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">build big housing projects\u003c/a>, overriding the city’s local zoning rules.

It even has voter-backed rules in its own charter that prohibit new apartment buildings. That prompted some delicate conversations at City Hall, where local leaders have spent the past two and a half years meeting with residents and explaining how all this new housing could benefit them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These conversations are happening all across the Bay Area as cities and counties race to submit compliant plans.

It feels frozen in time. And, that’s by design.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 1972 ballot measure effectively halted new housing construction. The city used to be more economically diverse, but, like many Bay Area cities, which passed rules in the '70s and '80s limiting development, has become increasingly exclusive. That’s presented a challenge as the city seeks to comply with new state guidelines mandating more housing, said City Planner Andrew Thomas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fifty years later, we’re doing our housing element for the city and we’re trying to address issues of equity. If we’re regulating land and saying, ‘Anyone who can’t afford a single-family home, we don’t provide housing for you,’ that’s a problem,” Thomas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During and after World War II, the city experienced \u003ca href=\"https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/environmental-analysis/documents/ser/tract-housing-in-ca-1945-1973-a11y.pdf\">tremendous population growth (PDF)\u003c/a> when the Navy built a base on the shipping yards in the western part of the city.

This scared homeowners who were concerned about the “changing character” of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1972, Alameda residents overwhelmingly passed Measure A, which became \u003ca href=\"https://alamedamgr.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/article-xxvi-of-alameda-city-charter.pdf\">Article 26 in the City Charter (PDF)\u003c/a>. It banned new multifamily apartment buildings in most of the city. Alameda voters had a chance to overturn the 1972 law on a 2020 ballot, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/local-politics/article/Alameda-Measure-Z-which-would-lift-ban-on-15699683.php\">they overwhelmingly upheld it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently passed state laws that require cities to build more housing have made Measure A effectively moot, but the aftereffects live on today in most of the city’s neighborhoods. The island has two sides: On its eastern flank are single-family homes, high-performing schools and mostly white and Asian residents. On the western side is a now mostly abandoned naval base, few grocery stores and aging apartments that were built by the federal government and repurposed as subsidized housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Alameda sought to plan for future housing, it had to contend with — and in some cases, override — prevailing attitudes about how much development the city should see. And, it received plenty of opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul Foreman, 84, has lived in Alameda for the past two decades and fought aggressively against the city’s new housing plan. He owns a two-bedroom condo on a quiet street with single-family homes, Victorian mansions and a few duplexes. There’s a park nearby and a center for older adults three blocks away that provides meals for him five days a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11938459\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62004_008_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11938459 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62004_008_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A view of two homes and a lawn.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62004_008_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62004_008_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62004_008_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62004_008_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62004_008_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Single-family homes in Alameda on Jan. 12, 2023. In 1972, Alameda passed a ballot measure effectively halting new construction for multifamily units. As the City Council worked to create a housing plan, they had to contend with long-held sentiments from residents who didn’t want new housing in their town. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The city’s bucolic nature is part of why he loves living here and why he wants it to stay that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not super dense, there are places to park, there are parks to go to, it’s green.” he said. “The city is just going to come along and completely change the character of the neighborhood.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foreman does not want to see his neighborhood replaced with ritzy high-rise buildings, which he fears could now happen — though city planners say more duplexes and triplexes, instead of high-rise buildings, could be built on the land where large, single-family houses now stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His other big fear? That these new homes won’t actually be affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His concerns aren’t misguided. Over the past eight years, Alameda was supposed to build \u003ca href=\"https://irp.cdn-website.com/f1731050/files/uploaded/he-policy-document.pdf\">975 housing units for very low- to moderate-income residents (PDF)\u003c/a>. According to Andrew Thomas, only 500 have been built. And \u003ca href=\"https://chpc.net/new-data-underscores-californias-failure-to-meet-low-income-housing-production-goals-dashboard-series-3/\">California as a whole built only about two-thirds of its goal for lower- to moderate-income housing\u003c/a>. At the same time, the state — and Alameda — exceeded its goal for above-moderate-income, or “luxury,” housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s a very dysfunctional system,” Foreman said. “As far as I’m concerned, the state is avoiding its responsibilities [to build affordable housing].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite his concerns, Alameda is moving forward to enable housing to be built all over the city. The housing element allows almost 1,000 new units to be built in residential neighborhoods like Foreman’s over the next eight years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re next to Oakland and just across the bay from San Francisco. We’re right in the center of one of the nation’s major urban areas,” said former Alameda City Council member John Knox White. “The idea that we should not participate in providing housing for the jobs that we all travel to is, for me, a little offensive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Change is coming\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Knox White and Thomas worked hard to pass the city’s housing element. While they both agree with Foreman that affordable housing is important and necessary, they say it’s not realistic to build only subsidized housing when construction costs are so high and funding for affordable housing is limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to make the projects financially viable or else they’re not going to be built,” Thomas said. “But at the same time, you want to get as much subsidized, low-income housing as you can. That’s the balance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is why most of Alameda’s housing element includes sites that will have units accessible to a range of income levels: above moderate to very low. One site that excites Knox White and Thomas is called Alameda Point, located on what is now the mostly abandoned remains of the naval base — a huge swath of land that takes up almost a third of the island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s now home to large empty warehouses and miles of unused airstrips. Aside from hosting an antique fair once a month, the space is underutilized and, in the eyes of Knox White and Thomas, could be a great place for housing. In 2015, the city approved \u003ca href=\"https://www.alamedapointpartners.com/vision-sub.html\">a plan for almost 1,000 housing units here\u003c/a>, along with retail, residential and commercial space, a sports complex and large public art sculptures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, the development highlights the other big challenge city and state planners face when it comes to getting housing built in the Bay Area: Just because it’s possible, doesn’t mean it’s doable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The redevelopment of Alameda Point has been going slowly and not so smoothly. Construction and labor costs were rising before the pandemic, but now, coupled with inflation, they're only becoming more expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we have in our favor is that the city owns the land, so we have a lot more control over our destiny,” Thomas said. “But [there are] no new streets, old infrastructure, old sewer systems that need to be replaced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Thomas, Alameda Point Partners, the developer working on the project, has come back to the City Council at least six times to renegotiate the deal, partially because of costly city requirements to install public art and contribute to transportation infrastructure. And in the meantime, construction has stalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that we’ve solved the housing element issue, we have to figure out how do we not make it so expensive to build,” Knox White said. “Is public art more important than building housing? There’s a big sports complex that might be built in 20 years that every developer has to pay into — is that more important than building the housing we need? These are the tough conversations that folks are going to need to have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda led the Bay Area in adopting an ambitious plan to build more housing. But it will all be moot if the housing doesn’t get built. With a potential recession weighing on the economy; labor and construction costs rising; and a long history of slow — or nonexistent — development, some residents say they can’t afford to wait on housing that may or may not get built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emily Roscoe is one of them. A first grade teacher at the Bay Farm School, Roscoe moved to the city in 2020 with her husband, a firefighter for the East Bay Regional Park District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They live in a one-bedroom apartment right across from Crown Beach that has been perfect for just the two of them, but Roscoe wants to start a family soon. Last year, their landlord did major renovations to the property and increased the rent astronomically. Roscoe has two other jobs to keep up with rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11938460\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62017_020_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11938460 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62017_020_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A woman wearing a black sweater with a light-colored top stands outside.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62017_020_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62017_020_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62017_020_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62017_020_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/RS62017_020_KQED_AlamedaAffordableHousing_01122023-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Emily Roscoe, a first grade teacher, sits outside her Alameda apartment on Jan. 12, 2023.

The city used to be more economically diverse, but, like many Bay Area cities, which passed rules in the '70s and '80s limiting development, has become increasingly exclusive. That’s presented a challenge as the city seeks to comply with new state guidelines mandating more housing, said City Planner Andrew Thomas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fifty years later, we’re doing our housing element for the city and we’re trying to address issues of equity.

This scared homeowners who were concerned about the “changing character” of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1972, Alameda residents overwhelmingly passed Measure A, which became \u003ca href=\"https://alamedamgr.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/article-xxvi-of-alameda-city-charter.pdf\">Article 26 in the City Charter (PDF)\u003c/a>. It banned new multifamily apartment buildings in most of the city. Alameda voters had a chance to overturn the 1972 law on a 2020 ballot, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/local-politics/article/Alameda-Measure-Z-which-would-lift-ban-on-15699683.php\">they overwhelmingly upheld it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently passed state laws that require cities to build more housing have made Measure A effectively moot, but the aftereffects live on today in most of the city’s neighborhoods. The island has two sides: On its eastern flank are single-family homes, high-performing schools and mostly white and Asian residents. On the western side is a now mostly abandoned naval base, few grocery stores and aging apartments that were built by the federal government and repurposed as subsidized housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Alameda sought to plan for future housing, it had to contend with — and in some cases, override — prevailing attitudes about how much development the city should see.

In 1972, Alameda passed a ballot measure effectively halting new construction for multifamily units. As the City Council worked to create a housing plan, they had to contend with long-held sentiments from residents who didn’t want new housing in their town. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The city’s bucolic nature is part of why he loves living here and why he wants it to stay that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not super dense, there are places to park, there are parks to go to, it’s green.” he said. “The city is just going to come along and completely change the character of the neighborhood.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foreman does not want to see his neighborhood replaced with ritzy high-rise buildings, which he fears could now happen — though city planners say more duplexes and triplexes, instead of high-rise buildings, could be built on the land where large, single-family houses now stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His other big fear? That these new homes won’t actually be affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His concerns aren’t misguided. Over the past eight years, Alameda was supposed to build \u003ca href=\"https://irp.cdn-website.com/f1731050/files/uploaded/he-policy-document.pdf\">975 housing units for very low- to moderate-income residents (PDF)\u003c/a>. According to Andrew Thomas, only 500 have been built. And \u003ca href=\"https://chpc.net/new-data-underscores-californias-failure-to-meet-low-income-housing-production-goals-dashboard-series-3/\">California as a whole built only about two-thirds of its goal for lower- to moderate-income housing\u003c/a>. At the same time, the state — and Alameda — exceeded its goal for above-moderate-income, or “luxury,” housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s a very dysfunctional system,” Foreman said. “As far as I’m concerned, the state is avoiding its responsibilities [to build affordable housing].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite his concerns, Alameda is moving forward to enable housing to be built all over the city. The housing element allows almost 1,000 new units to be built in residential neighborhoods like Foreman’s over the next eight years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re next to Oakland and just across the bay from San Francisco. We’re right in the center of one of the nation’s major urban areas,” said former Alameda City Council member John Knox White. “The idea that we should not participate in providing housing for the jobs that we all travel to is, for me, a little offensive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Change is coming\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Knox White and Thomas worked hard to pass the city’s housing element. While they both agree with Foreman that affordable housing is important and necessary, they say it’s not realistic to build only subsidized housing when construction costs are so high and funding for affordable housing is limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to make the projects financially viable or else they’re not going to be built,” Thomas said. “But at the same time, you want to get as much subsidized, low-income housing as you can. That’s the balance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is why most of Alameda’s housing element includes sites that will have units accessible to a range of income levels: above moderate to very low. One site that excites Knox White and Thomas is called Alameda Point, located on what is now the mostly abandoned remains of the naval base — a huge swath of land that takes up almost a third of the island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s now home to large empty warehouses and miles of unused airstrips. Aside from hosting an antique fair once a month, the space is underutilized and, in the eyes of Knox White and Thomas, could be a great place for housing. In 2015, the city approved \u003ca href=\"https://www.alamedapointpartners.com/vision-sub.html\">a plan for almost 1,000 housing units here\u003c/a>, along with retail, residential and commercial space, a sports complex and large public art sculptures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, the development highlights the other big challenge city and state planners face when it comes to getting housing built in the Bay Area: Just because it’s possible, doesn’t mean it’s doable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And in the meantime, construction has stalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that we’ve solved the housing element issue, we have to figure out how do we not make it so expensive to build,” Knox White said. “Is public art more important than building housing?

Gavin Newsom is largely keeping funding for housing and homelessness programs intact in his \u003ca href=\"https://ebudget.ca.gov/budget/2023-24/#/Home\">2023–24 budget plan\u003c/a>. But, they said, it’s insufficient to meaningfully reduce homelessness across California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were relieved to see that the programs that are serving Californians who are struggling, the very people who are experiencing homelessness, were protected,” said Chione Flegal, executive director of the statewide advocacy organization Housing California, adding, “The resources we’re investing still don’t come close to meeting the scale of the need that Californians are experiencing.”[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Matt Schwartz, CEO, California Housing Partnership\"]‘Until we have the state investing at a much bigger scale and a longer-term horizon, we’re not really going to be able to make substantial progress.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan keeps in place $3.4 billion to address homelessness committed in prior budgets, including $400 million for a third round of grants to cities to clear homeless encampments and $1 billion to fund a fifth round of grants for local governments through the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Grant Program. That’s a flexible pool of funding cities and counties can use to fund everything from shelter operations to new housing for people exiting homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To address the deficit, the draft budget also calls for more than $9 billion in cuts overall, including $350 million to housing programs supporting homeownership and construction of in-law units.[aside postID=\"news_11937658,news_11936184,news_11937161\" label=\"Related Posts\"]At a news conference Tuesday, Newsom touted the combined $15.3 billion committed to homelessness programs in last year’s budget and this proposal. But he expressed frustration that unprecedented levels of funding for housing and homelessness in recent years weren’t yielding better results. When he took office, he said the state invested a mere $500 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite this new funding, \u003ca href=\"https://www.huduser.gov/portal/sites/default/files/pdf/2022-AHAR-Part-1.pdf\">homelessness across California increased more than 23% between 2007 and 2022 (PDF)\u003c/a>, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, including rising more than 6% between 2020 and 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“More accountability, more transparency,” Newsom said. “There’s never been more resources ever to support these efforts. We want to see things materialize.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the proposal, Newsom said new homelessness-related grants would only be doled out to local governments that comply with state housing law. The administration also wants to push for new legislation that would force local leaders applying for the money to provide greater detail about how they plan to spend it, with priority given to things like clearing encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People just have had it. They want to see these encampments cleaned up, they’re fed up,” Newsom said. “People want to see results.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But increased efforts to close encampments will likely be met with resistance. A group of unhoused San Francisco residents sued the city over its sweeps last year, arguing that forced displacements and destruction of property violate their constitutional rights. A judge granted a preliminary injunction barring further sweeps as the case moves forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to meaningfully reduce homelessness, Matt Schwartz, CEO of the California Housing Partnership, wants to see a dedicated funding source in the vein of the \u003ca href=\"https://chpc.net/press-release-asm-wick-sintroduces-housing-opportunities-for-everyone-hope-act/\">HOPE Act\u003c/a> (ACA 14) Assemblymember Buffy Wicks introduced last year, which proposed to dedicate 5% of the state’s general fund each year over the next decade to the state’s affordable housing and homelessness crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Until we have the state investing at a much bigger scale and a longer-term horizon, we’re not really going to be able to make substantial progress,” Schwartz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To address the state’s housing shortage — particularly for people with low incomes — the California Housing Partnership estimates California needs to invest \u003ca href=\"https://roadmaphome2030.org/\">$18 billion each year over the next 10 years\u003c/a> to add 1.2 million affordable homes, or roughly 119,000 a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed budget maintains current affordable housing production levels, or about 20,000 new affordable homes per year. Abram Diaz, policy director for the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California, said that’s an improvement over the past but a long way from enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It should buy us another year of production,” Diaz said. “We had hoped we could go above and beyond that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz said he’ll be working to secure more money for the cause as lawmakers hash out the budget over the coming months, before the start of the next fiscal year, on July 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because if we can’t, and we face another recession and another budget gap in the next fiscal year, then we really might start feeling more of a crunch,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acknowledging that a comprehensive funding solution is a ways off, some advocates are beginning to coalesce around a stopgap solution: a statewide affordable housing bond of at least $10 billion on the 2024 ballot. Voters last approved a \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/BallotAnalysis/Proposition?number=1&year=2018\">$4 billion state bond (Proposition 1)\u003c/a> for affordable housing in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, an effort is underway to put forward a constitutional amendment for the 2024 ballot that would reduce the voter threshold for local housing bonds from two-thirds to a simple majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates and lawmakers are also looking for new legislative solutions to remove obstacles to building affordable housing and make what money there is stretch further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a big part of the solution,” Diaz said, “and something a lot of stakeholders look at very heavily in tough budget years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>At a news conference Tuesday, Newsom touted the combined $15.3 billion committed to homelessness programs in last year’s budget and this proposal. But he expressed frustration that unprecedented levels of funding for housing and homelessness in recent years weren’t yielding better results. When he took office, he said the state invested a mere $500 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite this new funding, \u003ca href=\"https://www.huduser.gov/portal/sites/default/files/pdf/2022-AHAR-Part-1.pdf\">homelessness across California increased more than 23% between 2007 and 2022 (PDF)\u003c/a>, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, including rising more than 6% between 2020 and 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“More accountability, more transparency,” Newsom said. “There’s never been more resources ever to support these efforts. We want to see things materialize.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the proposal, Newsom said new homelessness-related grants would only be doled out to local governments that comply with state housing law. The administration also wants to push for new legislation that would force local leaders applying for the money to provide greater detail about how they plan to spend it, with priority given to things like clearing encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People just have had it. They want to see these encampments cleaned up, they’re fed up,” Newsom said. “People want to see results.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But increased efforts to close encampments will likely be met with resistance. A group of unhoused San Francisco residents sued the city over its sweeps last year, arguing that forced displacements and destruction of property violate their constitutional rights. A judge granted a preliminary injunction barring further sweeps as the case moves forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to meaningfully reduce homelessness, Matt Schwartz, CEO of the California Housing Partnership, wants to see a dedicated funding source in the vein of the \u003ca href=\"https://chpc.net/press-release-asm-wick-sintroduces-housing-opportunities-for-everyone-hope-act/\">HOPE Act\u003c/a> (ACA 14) Assemblymember Buffy Wicks introduced last year, which proposed to dedicate 5% of the state’s general fund each year over the next decade to the state’s affordable housing and homelessness crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Until we have the state investing at a much bigger scale and a longer-term horizon, we’re not really going to be able to make substantial progress,” Schwartz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To address the state’s housing shortage — particularly for people with low incomes — the California Housing Partnership estimates California needs to invest \u003ca href=\"https://roadmaphome2030.org/\">$18 billion each year over the next 10 years\u003c/a> to add 1.2 million affordable homes, or roughly 119,000 a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed budget maintains current affordable housing production levels, or about 20,000 new affordable homes per year. Abram Diaz, policy director for the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California, said that’s an improvement over the past but a long way from enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It should buy us another year of production,” Diaz said. “We had hoped we could go above and beyond that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz said he’ll be working to secure more money for the cause as lawmakers hash out the budget over the coming months, before the start of the next fiscal year, on July 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because if we can’t, and we face another recession and another budget gap in the next fiscal year, then we really might start feeling more of a crunch,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acknowledging that a comprehensive funding solution is a ways off, some advocates are beginning to coalesce around a stopgap solution: a statewide affordable housing bond of at least $10 billion on the 2024 ballot. Voters last approved a \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/BallotAnalysis/Proposition?number=1&year=2018\">$4 billion state bond (Proposition 1)\u003c/a> for affordable housing in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, an effort is underway to put forward a constitutional amendment for the 2024 ballot that would reduce the voter threshold for local housing bonds from two-thirds to a simple majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates and lawmakers are also looking for new legislative solutions to remove obstacles to building affordable housing and make what money there is stretch further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a big part of the solution,” Diaz said, “and something a lot of stakeholders look at very heavily in tough budget years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

However, relying on somewhat different counts, the \u003ca href=\"https://profiles.nche.seiservices.com/StateProfile.aspx?StateID=6\">National Center for Homeless Education\u003c/a>, which is the technical assistance center for the U.S. Department of Education, does provide percentages for the share of unhoused students who live doubled-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if those two separate measurements are used and combined in an unscientific manner, the estimate would show that about 155,815 California students might have been doubled-up during the 2020–21 school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The percentage of students has remained consistent in recent years, even as California school districts have identified fewer students as unhoused.[aside postID=\"news_11932895,news_11927968,news_11926891\" label=\"Related Posts\"]Using the same data sources, 194,709 unhoused students were identified during the 2019–20 school year, and 85.4% were doubled-up. The year before that, 83.3% of the 207,677 students identified were doubled-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some experts say these numbers might not be accurate or fully reflect reality. For example, despite the Census Day headcounts, the California Department of Education has estimated that the \u003ca href=\"https://oshi-la.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/cts-state-of-crisis-report.pdf\">more accurate number of unhoused students is closer to 269,000 (PDF)\u003c/a>, and researchers at the UCLA Center for the Transformation of Schools have agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think anybody would say that we’re identifying all students who qualify, whether they’re doubled-up or in any other living situation,” said Jan Moore, director of technical assistance at the National Center for Homeless Education. “I don’t think anybody would say that we’re catching them all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-09-at-10.25.06-AM.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11937434\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-09-at-10.25.06-AM-800x793.png\" alt=\"A graphic showing students how many identified as homeless\" width=\"800\" height=\"793\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-09-at-10.25.06-AM-800x793.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-09-at-10.25.06-AM-160x159.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-09-at-10.25.06-AM.png 862w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why does it matter that California officials know that the vast majority of the state’s unhoused students are doubled-up?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Identifying California’s unhoused students begins with understanding where they live and why they live there. A great challenge for schools is accurately counting all students who are unhoused, and learning that the majority are doubled-up can help guide the conversations they have with students. Plus, this information can help officials and liaisons seek resources specific to doubled-up students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, and why does it matter for doubled-up students?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/legislation/mckinney-vento/\">McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act\u003c/a> is a federal law that requires every public school to count the number of students who are living on the street, in shelters, in motels, in cars, doubled-up with other families or moving among friends’ and relatives’ homes. It mandates that every school district, county office of education and charter school hire a local liaison who must ensure that unhoused youth are identified and coordinate education services to increase their chances of succeeding academically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This law defines unhoused students, in part, as “children and youths who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; or are abandoned in hospitals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, doubled-up students can receive McKinney-Vento resources and support to help continue their education as they face housing insecurity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What resources are students eligible for if they are identified as unhoused under McKinney-Vento?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These students can remain enrolled in their “school of origin” and get state-funded transportation, if it’s decided that’s in their best interest, for the entire time they remain unhoused and through the end of the academic year during which they secure permanent housing. The “school of origin” includes schools that:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The student attended when permanently housed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The student was last enrolled in when they became unhoused.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The student has had some sort of connection to within the last 15 months.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>If a student is not already enrolled in school, they must be enrolled immediately even if they do not have the typically required documents or if they missed an application deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additional resources can include replacement identification cards or birth certificates, free access to after-school programs and referrals to free immunizations. The goal is to ensure that unhoused students do not face challenges in completing coursework that would make them eligible to apply for college, in remaining enrolled in school, and in accessing extracurricular activities, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some of the challenges in identifying doubled-up students?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homelessness is defined differently across various laws. A primary challenge for school staff is understanding the differences between how the McKinney-Vento law and the Department of Housing and Urban Development \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/11302\">define homelessness\u003c/a>. McKinney-Vento makes it easier to include doubled-up students as unhoused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore said that some of the most common questions she receives from school staff are about whether a student might be doubled-up or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We try to listen to each individual scenario because it is a case-by-case determination, and there are always little nuances that you have to listen really carefully to determine whether the student is eligible or not,” said Moore, whose team \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/resources/\">regularly hosts webinars\u003c/a> to help school staff better understand student homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often, it comes down to whether a student’s loss of housing was the result of a sudden crisis or a planned event. But learning those details highlights another challenge: gaining the trust of students and their guardians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That trust is critical for a student and their guardian to feel comfortable disclosing their housing situation. While a liaison or other school staff member might notice red flags that could indicate homelessness, this isn’t always possible, leaving the student to self-identify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, the school staff member who gained that trust might leave their position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the problems that we’re seeing across the country is there has been a tremendous amount of turnover among liaisons and among state coordinators,” Moore said. She recommends that liaisons share with colleagues strategies for identifying and supporting students to lessen the impact of staff turnover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How can schools and staff support students they think might be doubled-up?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An initial step is understanding what doubled-up means and sharing that information with students and families, said Moore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even once students are identified, however, McKinney-Vento has been found to fall short of fully supporting unhoused students. A 2020 UCLA report found that just 9% of school districts in California “received federal funding from the McKinney-Vento Act to meet the mandates of the law.” This means that \u003ca href=\"https://oshi-la.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/cts-state-of-crisis-report.pdf\">only 1 in 3 unhoused students are attending schools with dedicated funding to support their education (PDF)\u003c/a>, which could include transportation to get them to their school of origin, providing ongoing basic needs such as food and toiletries, and the funding needed to hire a school liaison full-time (\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2022/liaisons-play-pivotal-role-in-connecting-california-homeless-children-to-services/667682\">liaisons typically do this work in addition to another staff role\u003c/a> on their campus).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some \u003ca href=\"https://schoolhouseconnection.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FINAL-FY23-RHYA-EHCY-Letter.pdf\">federal lawmakers have called for increases in dedicated funding (PDF)\u003c/a>, but those efforts are stalled in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is a student always considered unhoused if living in shared housing?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. If two families are living under the same roof due to mutual benefit, they likely will not be considered unhoused. This is sometimes the case with multigenerational homes. But if that mutual benefit occurs due to a loss of housing, economic hardship or similar crisis, then they would be identified as unhoused.

A great challenge for schools is accurately counting all students who are unhoused, and learning that the majority are doubled-up can help guide the conversations they have with students. Plus, this information can help officials and liaisons seek resources specific to doubled-up students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, and why does it matter for doubled-up students?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/legislation/mckinney-vento/\">McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act\u003c/a> is a federal law that requires every public school to count the number of students who are living on the street, in shelters, in motels, in cars, doubled-up with other families or moving among friends’ and relatives’ homes. It mandates that every school district, county office of education and charter school hire a local liaison who must ensure that unhoused youth are identified and coordinate education services to increase their chances of succeeding academically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This law defines unhoused students, in part, as “children and youths who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; or are abandoned in hospitals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, doubled-up students can receive McKinney-Vento resources and support to help continue their education as they face housing insecurity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What resources are students eligible for if they are identified as unhoused under McKinney-Vento?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These students can remain enrolled in their “school of origin” and get state-funded transportation, if it’s decided that’s in their best interest, for the entire time they remain unhoused and through the end of the academic year during which they secure permanent housing. The “school of origin” includes schools that:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The student attended when permanently housed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The student was last enrolled in when they became unhoused.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The student has had some sort of connection to within the last 15 months.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>If a student is not already enrolled in school, they must be enrolled immediately even if they do not have the typically required documents or if they missed an application deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additional resources can include replacement identification cards or birth certificates, free access to after-school programs and referrals to free immunizations. The goal is to ensure that unhoused students do not face challenges in completing coursework that would make them eligible to apply for college, in remaining enrolled in school, and in accessing extracurricular activities, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some of the challenges in identifying doubled-up students?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homelessness is defined differently across various laws. A primary challenge for school staff is understanding the differences between how the McKinney-Vento law and the Department of Housing and Urban Development \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/11302\">define homelessness\u003c/a>. McKinney-Vento makes it easier to include doubled-up students as unhoused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore said that some of the most common questions she receives from school staff are about whether a student might be doubled-up or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We try to listen to each individual scenario because it is a case-by-case determination, and there are always little nuances that you have to listen really carefully to determine whether the student is eligible or not,” said Moore, whose team \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/resources/\">regularly hosts webinars\u003c/a> to help school staff better understand student homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often, it comes down to whether a student’s loss of housing was the result of a sudden crisis or a planned event. But learning those details highlights another challenge: gaining the trust of students and their guardians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That trust is critical for a student and their guardian to feel comfortable disclosing their housing situation. While a liaison or other school staff member might notice red flags that could indicate homelessness, this isn’t always possible, leaving the student to self-identify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, the school staff member who gained that trust might leave their position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the problems that we’re seeing across the country is there has been a tremendous amount of turnover among liaisons and among state coordinators,” Moore said. She recommends that liaisons share with colleagues strategies for identifying and supporting students to lessen the impact of staff turnover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How can schools and staff support students they think might be doubled-up?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An initial step is understanding what doubled-up means and sharing that information with students and families, said Moore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even once students are identified, however, McKinney-Vento has been found to fall short of fully supporting unhoused students. A 2020 UCLA report found that just 9% of school districts in California “received federal funding from the McKinney-Vento Act to meet the mandates of the law.” This means that \u003ca href=\"https://oshi-la.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/cts-state-of-crisis-report.pdf\">only 1 in 3 unhoused students are attending schools with dedicated funding to support their education (PDF)\u003c/a>, which could include transportation to get them to their school of origin, providing ongoing basic needs such as food and toiletries, and the funding needed to hire a school liaison full-time (\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2022/liaisons-play-pivotal-role-in-connecting-california-homeless-children-to-services/667682\">liaisons typically do this work in addition to another staff role\u003c/a> on their campus).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some \u003ca href=\"https://schoolhouseconnection.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FINAL-FY23-RHYA-EHCY-Letter.pdf\">federal lawmakers have called for increases in dedicated funding (PDF)\u003c/a>, but those efforts are stalled in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is a student always considered unhoused if living in shared housing?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. If two families are living under the same roof due to mutual benefit, they likely will not be considered unhoused. This is sometimes the case with multigenerational homes. But if that mutual benefit occurs due to a loss of housing, economic hardship or similar crisis, then they would be identified as unhoused. Understanding those nuances poses a challenge for liaisons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As a housing advocate for \u003ca href=\"https://prisonerswithchildren.org/all-of-us-or-none/\">All of Us or None\u003c/a>, a project of Legal Services for Prisoners With Children, he became an outspoken champion of these policies locally and says a landlord offered him a spot after recognizing him from the news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They took on the moral courage and said, ‘It’s OK.’ And so for the first time in my life, 50 years old, I had a lease of my own,” says Bonner, who now lives in Dublin with his wife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all property owners have been as receptive. Many landlords have voiced fears about endangering other tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have such a responsibility to maintain the safety, peace and tranquility for the living enjoyment of the people that are paying rents in the Bay Area,” says Elizabeth Moreno, who owns apartment buildings in unincorporated areas of San Leandro and Hayward. She says landlords need every tool at their disposal to ensure a sound community for tenants, including background checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, where a fair chance ordinance is already in place, property owners have raised concerns about the confluence of the rule with other local laws that make it tough to oust tenants, like the city and county eviction moratoriums and recently strengthened just cause protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we do make a mistake, we can’t just say, OK, we made a mistake, this didn’t work out. You can’t really get rid of them,” says Carmen Madden, who owns a 30-unit building down the street from where she grew up in East Oakland, near Mills College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, she says, the stakes feel especially high, with six tenants who she says haven’t been paying rent under the moratorium and owe around $100,000. Property owners around the county raised similar concerns. That led supervisors to amend the plan, delaying implementation until the county moratorium expires, which could come at the end of April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madden and others have also raised concerns about the law’s unintended consequences. In the absence of background checks, Madden says landlords find other ways to screen tenants, some of which she worries could worsen discrimination. Since Oakland increased protections for renters, she’s stopped looking at criminal records, but now she pays more attention to employment history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researcher Lin is currently studying the effects of Oakland and Berkeley’s fair chance policies in what she calls the nation’s first impact evaluation of such a law. Lin says preliminary results from a survey of 41 formerly incarcerated people found that about a third said they’d benefited directly from the ordinances. Final study findings won’t be out for a few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11936259\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11936259\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61754_025_KQED_KatieDixon_12162022-qut.jpg\" alt='A Black woman with a white shirt that reads \"All of Us or None\" and sunglasses with her house reflected in the lenses, wearing a blue cap and smiling.' width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61754_025_KQED_KatieDixon_12162022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61754_025_KQED_KatieDixon_12162022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61754_025_KQED_KatieDixon_12162022-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61754_025_KQED_KatieDixon_12162022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61754_025_KQED_KatieDixon_12162022-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The reflection of Katie Dixon’s apartment building can be seen in her sunglasses in the backyard of her home in Oakland on Dec. 16, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Among those eagerly awaiting them is the Alameda County Probation Department, which is helping to fund the work, says Shauna Conner, the department’s community reentry and outreach director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says stable housing is essential for the clients she works with. “It’s difficult to get people to participate in other services if they’re not housed,” she says. “You’re dealing with not only potential recidivism due to homelessness, but also interruption to their ability to adjust to the reentry process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Katie Dixon, finding an apartment after years of homelessness changed everything. “In the two years that I’ve had stable housing, the whole quality of my life has improved,” says Dixon, who spent more than a decade going in and out of juvenile detention facilities, jails and prisons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies have shown that stable housing reduces the likelihood of recidivism.

Researchers found that participants were 40% less likely to be rearrested and 61% less likely to be reincarcerated than a comparison group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Dixon the reasons are obvious: Without a stable place to live, someone on probation might be forced into destructive choices, like crashing with friends who are involved in criminal activities, which could lead to a probation violation, or staying in an abusive relationship that exacerbates mental health issues just to keep a roof over their head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Dixon got her own place, she’s been able to exercise, eat healthier food and meditate. Having a private space and reliable internet connection also allowed her to complete a virtual policy training program she credits for her current job as an organizer with the ACLU of Northern California.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11935806,news_11927968,news_11932895\"]Oakland property owner Madden has one vacancy to fill at the moment. One potential applicant recently got out of jail, a fact she learned from a local pastor who referred the man. Over the years she’s rented to a few people with criminal records. What the experience has shown her, more than anything, is that people reentering the community don’t get the support they need. If landlords are going to do their part, she says, the government should do its part, too, and make sure people leaving prisons and jails can succeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I found from those programs is that after they get them in, they leave them. So all their counseling stops, everything stops. And once it all stops, they stop,” she says. “So I get very nervous about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avoiding this “cliff” is something the probation department’s Conner thinks a lot about. She says the agency has been expanding its transition services, in part by doubling down on case management, life skills training and discharge planning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of that solves the biggest problem she sees when it comes to housing: affording it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conner sees fair chance ordinances as an important step, but, she says, “Even once we get people access, there’s still a limited pool of things that they can actually rent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of a study set to be released early next year, the Council of State Governments Justice Center asked state departments of correction across the country to identify \u003ca href=\"https://csgjusticecenter.org/people/charles-francis/\">the biggest barriers to reentry housing success\u003c/a>. According to the Center’s Charles Francis, 84% named discrimination and stigma as a top concern, while 74% named restrictive policies on the part of housing providers. The top barrier, identified by 95% of respondents, was a lack of affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Many landlords have voiced fears about endangering other tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have such a responsibility to maintain the safety, peace and tranquility for the living enjoyment of the people that are paying rents in the Bay Area,” says Elizabeth Moreno, who owns apartment buildings in unincorporated areas of San Leandro and Hayward. She says landlords need every tool at their disposal to ensure a sound community for tenants, including background checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, where a fair chance ordinance is already in place, property owners have raised concerns about the confluence of the rule with other local laws that make it tough to oust tenants, like the city and county eviction moratoriums and recently strengthened just cause protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we do make a mistake, we can’t just say, OK, we made a mistake, this didn’t work out. You can’t really get rid of them,” says Carmen Madden, who owns a 30-unit building down the street from where she grew up in East Oakland, near Mills College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, she says, the stakes feel especially high, with six tenants who she says haven’t been paying rent under the moratorium and owe around $100,000. Property owners around the county raised similar concerns. That led supervisors to amend the plan, delaying implementation until the county moratorium expires, which could come at the end of April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madden and others have also raised concerns about the law’s unintended consequences. In the absence of background checks, Madden says landlords find other ways to screen tenants, some of which she worries could worsen discrimination. Since Oakland increased protections for renters, she’s stopped looking at criminal records, but now she pays more attention to employment history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researcher Lin is currently studying the effects of Oakland and Berkeley’s fair chance policies in what she calls the nation’s first impact evaluation of such a law. Lin says preliminary results from a survey of 41 formerly incarcerated people found that about a third said they’d benefited directly from the ordinances. Final study findings won’t be out for a few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11936259\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11936259\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61754_025_KQED_KatieDixon_12162022-qut.jpg\" alt='A Black woman with a white shirt that reads \"All of Us or None\" and sunglasses with her house reflected in the lenses, wearing a blue cap and smiling.' width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61754_025_KQED_KatieDixon_12162022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61754_025_KQED_KatieDixon_12162022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61754_025_KQED_KatieDixon_12162022-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61754_025_KQED_KatieDixon_12162022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61754_025_KQED_KatieDixon_12162022-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The reflection of Katie Dixon’s apartment building can be seen in her sunglasses in the backyard of her home in Oakland on Dec. 16, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Among those eagerly awaiting them is the Alameda County Probation Department, which is helping to fund the work, says Shauna Conner, the department’s community reentry and outreach director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says stable housing is essential for the clients she works with. “It’s difficult to get people to participate in other services if they’re not housed,” she says. “You’re dealing with not only potential recidivism due to homelessness, but also interruption to their ability to adjust to the reentry process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Katie Dixon, finding an apartment after years of homelessness changed everything. “In the two years that I’ve had stable housing, the whole quality of my life has improved,” says Dixon, who spent more than a decade going in and out of juvenile detention facilities, jails and prisons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies have shown that stable housing reduces the likelihood of recidivism.

One potential applicant recently got out of jail, a fact she learned from a local pastor who referred the man. Over the years she’s rented to a few people with criminal records. What the experience has shown her, more than anything, is that people reentering the community don’t get the support they need.

It seeks to expand the supply of affordable housing and improve on ways to prevent people from experiencing homelessness in the first place. Potential steps include a campaign to encourage more landlords to accept government housing vouchers and encourage local governments to build more apartment complexes that are affordable for working families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration also announced a program to have federal agencies work with local officials to reduce unsheltered homelessness in select cities that have not yet been named.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, where already strikingly high rates of homelessness \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11914346/more-people-became-unhoused-across-the-bay-area-over-last-3-years-except-in-sf\">increased in every county except San Francisco\u003c/a> since 2019, the initial response to the announcement from advocates who work with unhoused people was cautiously optimistic. Still, some noted the lack of detail about what types of federal funds would be distributed to local jurisdictions and agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t talk about policy goals without revenue goals,” said Tomiquia Moss, founder and CEO of the Bay Area advocacy group All Home. “And I think that this was not explicit about where the money’s going to come from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some advocates pointed to the impact of Project Roomkey, a 2020 initiative to temporarily lease thousands of California hotel rooms as emergency shelters, which was shown to be effective at getting people into permanent housing — but shuttered earlier this year \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11921155/last-days-at-the-radisson-as-state-shelter-program-shutters-formerly-unhoused-residents-in-oakland-brace-for-next-steps\">when federal funding dried up\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hoping that this is signaling not only commitment,” said Moss of Biden’s new plan, “but [an understanding] that in order to espouse the comprehensive strategy, you have to pay for it … One of the things that I think is going to be important for the feds to commit to is flexible resources, more abundant resources, that really allow this kind of audacious goal to be met.

In New York, where most people experiencing homelessness are in shelters, the total number declined to less than 62,000 this year from nearly 78,000 in 2020. Homelessness grew more slowly in Los Angeles, but still edged up to more than 65,000 from under 64,000 two years earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass took office this month and promptly declared a state of emergency. New York Mayor Eric Adams last month announced a plan to treat mentally ill people and remove them from the streets and subways, even against their will. And in California, Gov. Gavin Newsom in September signed the controversial Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment Act, which allows courts to order treatment plans of up to two years for unhoused people with severe mental health disorders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year’s point-in-time survey reflected a balancing of opposing forces. The pandemic brought massive job losses, particularly for lower-income people, and higher rents. It also spurred an eviction moratorium and temporary federal aid, including tax credits for families that helped keep people housed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The count found that homelessness declined among veterans, families, children and young adults. Most were staying in shelters, though the number of those sleeping in places not intended for habitation rose. More people had been unhoused for more than a year. Black people continued to be disproportionately likely to experience homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new count was heavily anticipated because the 2021 survey was incomplete due to the pandemic. This year’s survey wasn’t a full return to normal, however. While the individual tallies normally take place in late January, many were pushed back to February or March because of the pandemic. The local reports compiled into the national data showed that the numbers rose in some places and fell in others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Potential steps include a campaign to encourage more landlords to accept government housing vouchers and encourage local governments to build more apartment complexes that are affordable for working families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration also announced a program to have federal agencies work with local officials to reduce unsheltered homelessness in select cities that have not yet been named.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, where already strikingly high rates of homelessness \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11914346/more-people-became-unhoused-across-the-bay-area-over-last-3-years-except-in-sf\">increased in every county except San Francisco\u003c/a> since 2019, the initial response to the announcement from advocates who work with unhoused people was cautiously optimistic. Still, some noted the lack of detail about what types of federal funds would be distributed to local jurisdictions and agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t talk about policy goals without revenue goals,” said Tomiquia Moss, founder and CEO of the Bay Area advocacy group All Home. “And I think that this was not explicit about where the money’s going to come from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some advocates pointed to the impact of Project Roomkey, a 2020 initiative to temporarily lease thousands of California hotel rooms as emergency shelters, which was shown to be effective at getting people into permanent housing — but shuttered earlier this year \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11921155/last-days-at-the-radisson-as-state-shelter-program-shutters-formerly-unhoused-residents-in-oakland-brace-for-next-steps\">when federal funding dried up\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hoping that this is signaling not only commitment,” said Moss of Biden’s new plan, “but [an understanding] that in order to espouse the comprehensive strategy, you have to pay for it … One of the things that I think is going to be important for the feds to commit to is flexible resources, more abundant resources, that really allow this kind of audacious goal to be met.

In New York, where most people experiencing homelessness are in shelters, the total number declined to less than 62,000 this year from nearly 78,000 in 2020. Homelessness grew more slowly in Los Angeles, but still edged up to more than 65,000 from under 64,000 two years earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass took office this month and promptly declared a state of emergency. New York Mayor Eric Adams last month announced a plan to treat mentally ill people and remove them from the streets and subways, even against their will. And in California, Gov. Gavin Newsom in September signed the controversial Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment Act, which allows courts to order treatment plans of up to two years for unhoused people with severe mental health disorders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year’s point-in-time survey reflected a balancing of opposing forces. The pandemic brought massive job losses, particularly for lower-income people, and higher rents. It also spurred an eviction moratorium and temporary federal aid, including tax credits for families that helped keep people housed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The count found that homelessness declined among veterans, families, children and young adults. Most were staying in shelters, though the number of those sleeping in places not intended for habitation rose. More people had been unhoused for more than a year. Black people continued to be disproportionately likely to experience homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new count was heavily anticipated because the 2021 survey was incomplete due to the pandemic. This year’s survey wasn’t a full return to normal, however. While the individual tallies normally take place in late January, many were pushed back to February or March because of the pandemic. The local reports compiled into the national data showed that the numbers rose in some places and fell in others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
