Gavin Newsom\"]‘This budget is resilient, because we have provided a framework over, l would argue, the last nine or 10 years, for this investment in historic reserves.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Newsom insisted that the state will not retreat from its commitments, including investing in education, fighting homelessness and expanding health care access to all Californians, regardless of immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are keeping our promises, despite this modest shortfall,” Newsom declared at a Sacramento news conference, where he stressed the importance of the state’s reserves, including its rainy day fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, those reserves total more than $35 billion, more than the projected shortfall. That deficit is largely driven by an expected sharp dip in capital gains taxes on the wealthiest Californians, a hallmark of the state’s progressive tax structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the governor said his budget does not propose using those reserves yet. Rather, he wants to close the deficit through a combination of delaying some spending by spreading it over multiple years; pulling back on some planned spending; and laying out some “trigger reductions” if revenues fall short. That includes potential cuts to spending on climate and transportation spending, housing, parks and workforce training.[aside postID=\"news_11936184,news_11937161\" label=\"Related Posts\"]“This budget is resilient, because we have provided a framework over, l would argue, the last nine or 10 years, for this investment in historic reserves,” he said, noting that his administration also began holding the line on spending last year, when it became clear that the state would be facing a fiscal downturn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are in this position today because we were not profligate when it comes to ongoing spending,” Newsom added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s administration has framed this new term as an opportunity to execute on many of the ambitious plans the governor rolled out during his first four years. On Tuesday, he highlighted several of those, including his commitment to battling homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that since he took office, the state has increased homelessness spending dramatically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Newsom is proposing $3.4 billion in homeless spending from the state’s general fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are no cuts,” he said. “We continue to make big investments — historic, unprecedented investments.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Included in those investments are $400 million in new money to help cities and counties clean up homeless encampments, and an additional $1 billion for local grants to counties. He warned, though, that with the additional money comes state oversight to ensure local governments are actually tackling the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People have just had it. They are done, fed up,” Newsom said of homeless encampments across the state. “We want to see these encampments cleaned up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also said that while K–12 education spending will decrease modestly — by about $1.5 billion, to $108 billion — per-pupil spending will remain at near record highs, for a total of $23,000 per pupil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor noted that the per pupil amount has more than doubled over the past decade and pledged to continue to invest in education. Still, the decline is sure to worry school districts already dealing with declining enrollment and the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other areas the governor highlighted include billions of dollars in investments aimed at stemming some of the effects of climate change, including $2.7 billion for wildfire and forest resilience and $8.6 billion to tackle water and drought issues, including safe drinking water, flood protection and habitat and watershed investments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor is also proposing $97 million in new investments to fight the opioid and fentanyl crisis, which claimed more than 6,800 lives in the state in 2021, including hundreds of teenagers. Newsom wants to spend $79 million to distribute drugs to treat people who are overdosing, and another $3.5 million specifically to make overdose medication available to middle and high schools throughout the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a top priority,” he said. “There’s not a parent out there that doesn’t understand the seriousness of this fentanyl crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

That deficit is largely driven by an expected sharp dip in capital gains taxes on the wealthiest Californians, a hallmark of the state’s progressive tax structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the governor said his budget does not propose using those reserves yet. Rather, he wants to close the deficit through a combination of delaying some spending by spreading it over multiple years; pulling back on some planned spending; and laying out some “trigger reductions” if revenues fall short. That includes potential cuts to spending on climate and transportation spending, housing, parks and workforce training.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Tuesday, he highlighted several of those, including his commitment to battling homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that since he took office, the state has increased homelessness spending dramatically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Newsom is proposing $3.4 billion in homeless spending from the state’s general fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are no cuts,” he said. “We continue to make big investments — historic, unprecedented investments.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Included in those investments are $400 million in new money to help cities and counties clean up homeless encampments, and an additional $1 billion for local grants to counties. He warned, though, that with the additional money comes state oversight to ensure local governments are actually tackling the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People have just had it. They are done, fed up,” Newsom said of homeless encampments across the state. “We want to see these encampments cleaned up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also said that while K–12 education spending will decrease modestly — by about $1.5 billion, to $108 billion — per-pupil spending will remain at near record highs, for a total of $23,000 per pupil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor noted that the per pupil amount has more than doubled over the past decade and pledged to continue to invest in education. Still, the decline is sure to worry school districts already dealing with declining enrollment and the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other areas the governor highlighted include billions of dollars in investments aimed at stemming some of the effects of climate change, including $2.7 billion for wildfire and forest resilience and $8.6 billion to tackle water and drought issues, including safe drinking water, flood protection and habitat and watershed investments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor is also proposing $97 million in new investments to fight the opioid and fentanyl crisis, which claimed more than 6,800 lives in the state in 2021, including hundreds of teenagers. Newsom wants to spend $79 million to distribute drugs to treat people who are overdosing, and another $3.5 million specifically to make overdose medication available to middle and high schools throughout the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a top priority,” he said. “There’s not a parent out there that doesn’t understand the seriousness of this fentanyl crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Period.’[/pullquote]“There is a direct pipeline from prison into homelessness,” says Margaretta Lin, executive director of Just Cities, a policy group focused on social justice, and a researcher with UC Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy. She worked on a survey of more than 100 people living in Oakland’s homeless encampments and found that 73% had criminal records. National research has found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/housing.html\">formerly incarcerated people are almost 10 times more likely to experience homelessness\u003c/a> than the general public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Formerly incarcerated people face barriers to living in all forms of housing, including private rental housing, nonprofit housing and the Section 8 voucher program, Lin says: “So where can people live?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an effort to reduce those barriers, Alameda County has become the first in the country to ban landlords from doing criminal background checks for potential tenants. Lin championed the plan after helping to pass similar \u003ca href=\"https://www.nhlp.org/nhlp-publications/fair-chance-ordinances-an-advocates-toolkit/\">“fair chance” housing policies\u003c/a> two years ago in \u003ca href=\"https://berkeley.municipal.codes/BMC/13.106.030\">Berkeley\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandca.gov/news/2020/oakland-now-has-the-states-strongest-fair-chance-housing-law\">Oakland\u003c/a>. The three are among the strongest rules in the country because they allow for few exceptions. Seattle, Portland, Detroit, Minneapolis, Washington, D.C., Cook County in Illinois and other localities also place some limits on the use of criminal background checks, as does the state of New Jersey. Locally, Richmond and San Francisco also have laws in place, though they’re far more narrow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.acgov.org/board/bos_calendar/documents/DocsAgendaReg_12_06_22/GENERAL%20ADMINISTRATION/Set%20Matter%20Calendar/CDA_341608.pdf\">Alameda County’s plan (PDF)\u003c/a> only applies to unincorporated parts of the county. It doesn’t cover properties of four units or fewer if the landlord lives on site, or tenants who are subletting their space.

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.

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 worked on a survey of more than 100 people living in Oakland’s homeless encampments and found that 73% had criminal records. National research has found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/housing.html\">formerly incarcerated people are almost 10 times more likely to experience homelessness\u003c/a> than the general public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Formerly incarcerated people face barriers to living in all forms of housing, including private rental housing, nonprofit housing and the Section 8 voucher program, Lin says: “So where can people live?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an effort to reduce those barriers, Alameda County has become the first in the country to ban landlords from doing criminal background checks for potential tenants. Lin championed the plan after helping to pass similar \u003ca href=\"https://www.nhlp.org/nhlp-publications/fair-chance-ordinances-an-advocates-toolkit/\">“fair chance” housing policies\u003c/a> two years ago in \u003ca href=\"https://berkeley.municipal.codes/BMC/13.106.030\">Berkeley\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandca.gov/news/2020/oakland-now-has-the-states-strongest-fair-chance-housing-law\">Oakland\u003c/a>. The three are among the strongest rules in the country because they allow for few exceptions. Seattle, Portland, Detroit, Minneapolis, Washington, D.C., Cook County in Illinois and other localities also place some limits on the use of criminal background checks, as does the state of New Jersey. Locally, Richmond and San Francisco also have laws in place, though they’re far more narrow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.acgov.org/board/bos_calendar/documents/DocsAgendaReg_12_06_22/GENERAL%20ADMINISTRATION/Set%20Matter%20Calendar/CDA_341608.pdf\">Alameda County’s plan (PDF)\u003c/a> only applies to unincorporated parts of the county. It doesn’t cover properties of four units or fewer if the landlord lives on site, or tenants who are subletting their space. Landlords will still be able to check sex offender registries and comply with federal laws that bar people convicted of certain drug and sex offenses from publicly funded properties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11936260\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11936260\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61712_002_KQED_TaqwaaBonner_12162022-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A Black man and a Latino man talk as they study a document in an office.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61712_002_KQED_TaqwaaBonner_12162022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61712_002_KQED_TaqwaaBonner_12162022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61712_002_KQED_TaqwaaBonner_12162022-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61712_002_KQED_TaqwaaBonner_12162022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS61712_002_KQED_TaqwaaBonner_12162022-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Taqwaa Bonner (right) speaks with Legal Services for Prisoners With Children program manager Errol Veron at their offices in Oakland on Dec. 16, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“All we’re asking for is to judge people based on the merits of who they are today.

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.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It was up by about 2,000 people — an increase of less than 1%.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11929283,news_11914346,news_11927968\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration aims to lower that by 25% by 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My plan offers a roadmap for not only getting people into housing but also ensuring that they have access to the support, services, and income that allow them to thrive,” Biden said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/12/19/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-announces-plan-to-prevent-and-end-homelessness/\">2022 All In strategy\u003c/a> made public Monday follows a 2010 effort called Opening Doors, which was the nation’s first comprehensive strategy seeking to prevent and end homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ann Oliva, CEO of the National Alliance to End Homelessness and a former HUD executive who worked on the first road map, said the federal government can influence local action with financial incentives, streamlined processes and strong policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homelessness among veterans, for example, has plummeted as a result of federal leadership, and the country also has made inroads among youth, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What they’re trying to do here is to show, as a federal government, we are going to work across agencies, we’re going to break down silos, we’re going to lead with equity, we are going to talk about upstream prevention and work on those issues,” Oliva said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal plan highlights racial and other disparities that have led to inequity in homelessness. 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. You can’t just have policy direction and not invest in the solutions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Tomiquia Moss, founder and CEO, All Home\"]‘One of the things that I think is going to be important for the feds to commit to is flexible resources … that really allow this kind of audacious goal to be met. You can’t just have policy direction and not invest in the solutions.’[/pullquote]Homelessness has become a major political issue, especially in the nation’s biggest cities and on the West Coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new survey finds that Los Angeles has overtaken New York as the city with the largest unhoused population. 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.

"content": "\u003cp>Starting this week, California renters can use a new online tool to check their eligibility for state and local rent protections based on their ZIP code. The idea is to make it easy to figure out how much your landlord can legally raise your rent each year, since rent caps vary from city to city. No need to read through your local rent control ordinance — now renters can just follow a simple set of prompts at \u003ca href=\"https://tenantprotections.org/\">tenantprotections.org\u003c/a> and get an answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As our state has blossomed with lots of local rent stabilization ordinances, this really provides a one-stop shop where tenants can go to find out what their rent increases can be,” says Leah Simon-Weisberg, legal director for the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, or ACCE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Ana, Pomona, Bell Gardens, Pasadena, Richmond, Santa Monica and other cities around the state enacted or strengthened rent control policies this year.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11932419,news_11930792\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The calculator is a collaboration between ACCE and TechEquity Collaborative, and has been in the works since 2020. It allows renters to calculate their maximum allowable rent increase under the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1482\">Tenant Protection Act of 2019\u003c/a> and their local rules. It also provides resources for legal aid and tenant advocacy. “Accurate information obviously is the most crucial first step towards enforcement of tenant protections,” Simon-Weisberg says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Antioch, where city leaders recently put in place \u003ca href=\"https://www.antiochca.gov/rent-program/\">a rent control measure that caps rent increases at 3%\u003c/a>, ACCE community organizer Devin Williams says most tenants he works with aren’t aware of the new protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of folks are not informed and the city has not done a good job at that at all,” he says, noting that the ordinance went into effect in November but applies to rent increases on or after August 23. “It’s December and I’ve gotten phone calls from folks and have gotten notices saying that they have to renew their lease by the end of the month or the rent is going to go up 19.6%. People just don’t know what’s right, what’s wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s hoping the online calculator makes it easier for residents to take advantage of the city’s new protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to start door-knocking and passing out literature, but we can only reach so many doors,” he says, adding that he’d like to see the city step up to educate people. But that appears unlikely for now.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Leah Simon-Weisberg, legal director, ACCE\"]‘As our state has blossomed with lots of local rent stabilization ordinances, this really provides a one-stop shop where tenants can go to find out what their rent increases can be.’[/pullquote]“We’ve been very transparent about [the fact] that even if we passed these protections, the infrastructure didn’t necessarily exist to implement any of it,” says Antioch Mayor Lamar Thorpe, who put forward the rent control measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, Thorpe says, the city is contracting outside legal help to address claims made under the ordinance. To boost public awareness, he says the city may enclose information about the rent cap in renters’ water bills and launch a social media campaign. Still, he acknowledges, “a lot of this will be on the renter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As more and more cities around California put rent stabilization measures in place, advocates want to empower tenants with the information they need to stand up for their rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have made a lot of significant progress in passing new laws over the last five years that help address the housing crisis, but we haven’t done as good of a job on the implementation side,” says Catherine Bracy, founder and CEO of TechEquity Collaborative. “This tool is an effort to make sure that the policies we pass are easily accessible in people’s lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The idea is to make it easy to figure out how much your landlord can legally raise your rent each year, since rent caps vary from city to city. No need to read through your local rent control ordinance — now renters can just follow a simple set of prompts at \u003ca href=\"https://tenantprotections.org/\">tenantprotections.org\u003c/a> and get an answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As our state has blossomed with lots of local rent stabilization ordinances, this really provides a one-stop shop where tenants can go to find out what their rent increases can be,” says Leah Simon-Weisberg, legal director for the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, or ACCE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Ana, Pomona, Bell Gardens, Pasadena, Richmond, Santa Monica and other cities around the state enacted or strengthened rent control policies this year.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

People just don’t know what’s right, what’s wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s hoping the online calculator makes it easier for residents to take advantage of the city’s new protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to start door-knocking and passing out literature, but we can only reach so many doors,” he says, adding that he’d like to see the city step up to educate people.

"content": "\u003cp>Two weeks after \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2022/11/california-homelessness-newsom-mayors/\">withholding $1 billion in homelessness funding\u003c/a> over lackluster local plans, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday that most cities and counties would get the funds as early as next week anyway — as long as in the next round, they commit to more aggressive plans to reduce street homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s been a whiplash-inducing couple of weeks, triggered by a funding process that frustrated both the governor and the locals. Newsom dissed local applicants for seeming too complacent about a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/californias-homelessness-crisis-explained/\">dire California problem\u003c/a>, while the applicants retorted that the Newsom administration sent conflicting signals — and that in any case, state lawmakers had inadvertently given them a financial motive to lowball their goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 100 local mayors and county officials gathered virtually and in person in a sleek downtown Sacramento government building Friday afternoon to broadly discuss how better to tackle the state’s most pernicious crisis.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Gov. Gavin Newsom\"]‘It’s imperfect at the moment, and over the years … I hope we can evolve and consider different strategies. Now what I see is what I see on the streets. And that’s a challenge.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was nice to hear their progress, and it was nice to hear their recognition that we have to get to another level,” Newsom told reporters following the over-two-hour-long private meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a quick reversal some local leaders and advocates saw as a political stunt: The episode gave everyone a chance to air their grievances, but landed on no specific targets, while briefly risking the continuity of services for people experiencing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you asked me what emerged from the meeting, I don’t know. I did not hear any specific policy changes,” said Sam Liccardo, mayor of San José. But, he added, “Nobody’s going to criticize the state or the governor at a time when it’s critical to get resources to bring people out of the cold. Lives depend on this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other local leaders said they welcomed the prodding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes, you have to provoke,” said Darrell Steinberg, mayor of Sacramento. “And then gather around a table like we did today, and actually talk about what it’s going to take to provide a further jolt to this problem.”[aside postID=\"news_11926519,news_11929283,news_11927968\" label=\"Related Posts\"]The governor sent shock waves through the state two weeks ago, just days before Election Day, when he \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-11-03/column-newsom-rejects-every-local-homeless-plan-in-state-demanding-more-ambition\">summarily rejected every local homeless action plan\u003c/a>. On the line: nearly $1 billion in homelessness funding. The plans, altogether, promised to reduce visible street homelessness by 2% between 2020 and 2024, or 2,000 fewer people statewide — which Newsom had called “simply unacceptable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His move triggered chaos among many of the 13 largest cities, 58 counties and 44 homeless service providers who went through the process. Many of them thought they had been approved after workshopping the plans with Newsom’s own homelessness agency, only to learn of their rejection en masse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But local governments didn’t have much of an incentive to shoot for the stars in their plans, either, because of the way the governor and Legislature \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB140\">wrote the grant\u003c/a>: In the name of accountability, they tied nearly a fifth of the $1 billion to local governments meeting their own targets. With more people falling into homelessness than they can catch, many felt ambition might set them up for failure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That criticism came up during the meeting, Newsom told reporters, holding up yellow pages ripped from a notepad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We worked with 120 members of the Legislature to put this forward,” he chuckled. “And now we’re working with 75 jurisdictions on these plans … In fact, literally right here, the recommendations: ‘What specifically do you want to change in terms of these metrics and plans?’ And that’s exactly what this conversation was about going forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as applicants sign a pledge to submit more ambitious targets and try harder in their plans for the next $1 billion grant — the final round of flexible local homelessness funding approved in the 2021 budget — the state will start cutting checks for this round, according to Jason Elliott, Newsom’s deputy chief of staff. Those new plans are due Nov. 29. A handful of local governments will have to work with the state to adjust their current plans before seeing the funding, although Elliott declined to name which ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Punishing the emergency room\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>During the pandemic, homelessness only spiked, and experts expect to continue to see its fallout on the streets in the coming years as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2022/07/california-eviction-protection-lifts/\">rental assistance\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/homeless-housing/story/2022-10-04/la-end-covid-eviction-protections-february\">eviction bans end\u003c/a>. Between 2019 and 2022, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2022/10/california-homeless-crisis-latinos/\">homelessness increased by at least 22,500\u003c/a>, to 173,800 people statewide, according to a CalMatters analysis of local point-in-time counts. Nearly 70% of those people were sleeping outdoors or in vehicles, while the rest stayed in shelters and transitional housing. (These biennial visual head counts on a given night \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homeless/2020/01/homeless-point-in-time-count-california-inaccurate-politicized-fresno/\">often are criticized for their inaccuracies\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet the state asked cities and counties to calculate their 2024 goals based on their lower, pre-pandemic counts of homeless people. At the time the application was due this summer, most localities simply figured they couldn’t promise to make homelessness that much better when it had already grown so much worse, and was on track to keep worsening. And being too ambitious risked failure to meet their targets and losing any shot at the bonus money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom saw what they did and cried foul. He \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article268732512.html?ac_cid=DM726120&ac_bid=1382323104\">called out the Sacramento region\u003c/a> in particular — though not by name — for its lack of ambition: Instead of promising a reduction, the local governments and service providers foresaw a 71% hike in homelessness in their report. Why? That’s exactly how much homelessness had already risen in the capital city this year. It’s also the latest data that would be available by the time communities were evaluated on their progress to qualify for \u003ca class=\"c-link\" href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB140\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB140\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" data-remove-tab-index=\"true\">$180 million in bonus funding\u003c/a> statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comparing the relatively current 2022 numbers with the 2024 goals, communities had really signed up for a 4%, or 5,000-person, reduction, according to a CalMatters analysis — which if achieved would be better than the state has done in years. Since 2015, homelessness has only \u003cem>increased\u003c/em> in California, by an average of 7% a year, or about 8,300 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the turmoil of the past couple of weeks, Steinberg said Sacramento has now put forth a new goal, promising a reduction of 15%, or 1,000 fewer unsheltered people, by 2024. How progress might be measured differently remains unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, which promised a 10% decline, or 4,600 fewer unsheltered people between 2020 and 2024, took a similar approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the [count] alone can mean that we receive 0% of the bonus funding, of course we’re going to approach it conservatively,” said Molly Rysman, the authority’s chief program officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Newsom had a point: Some regions had set targets that would represent more than 30% growth between 2022 and their 2024 goals. Bakersfield, for example, initially promised to lower street homelessness by 1%.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>The governor sent shock waves through the state two weeks ago, just days before Election Day, when he \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-11-03/column-newsom-rejects-every-local-homeless-plan-in-state-demanding-more-ambition\">summarily rejected every local homeless action plan\u003c/a>. On the line: nearly $1 billion in homelessness funding. The plans, altogether, promised to reduce visible street homelessness by 2% between 2020 and 2024, or 2,000 fewer people statewide — which Newsom had called “simply unacceptable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His move triggered chaos among many of the 13 largest cities, 58 counties and 44 homeless service providers who went through the process. Many of them thought they had been approved after workshopping the plans with Newsom’s own homelessness agency, only to learn of their rejection en masse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But local governments didn’t have much of an incentive to shoot for the stars in their plans, either, because of the way the governor and Legislature \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB140\">wrote the grant\u003c/a>: In the name of accountability, they tied nearly a fifth of the $1 billion to local governments meeting their own targets. With more people falling into homelessness than they can catch, many felt ambition might set them up for failure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That criticism came up during the meeting, Newsom told reporters, holding up yellow pages ripped from a notepad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We worked with 120 members of the Legislature to put this forward,” he chuckled. “And now we’re working with 75 jurisdictions on these plans … In fact, literally right here, the recommendations: ‘What specifically do you want to change in terms of these metrics and plans?’ And that’s exactly what this conversation was about going forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as applicants sign a pledge to submit more ambitious targets and try harder in their plans for the next $1 billion grant — the final round of flexible local homelessness funding approved in the 2021 budget — the state will start cutting checks for this round, according to Jason Elliott, Newsom’s deputy chief of staff. Those new plans are due Nov. 29. A handful of local governments will have to work with the state to adjust their current plans before seeing the funding, although Elliott declined to name which ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Punishing the emergency room\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>During the pandemic, homelessness only spiked, and experts expect to continue to see its fallout on the streets in the coming years as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2022/07/california-eviction-protection-lifts/\">rental assistance\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/homeless-housing/story/2022-10-04/la-end-covid-eviction-protections-february\">eviction bans end\u003c/a>. Between 2019 and 2022, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2022/10/california-homeless-crisis-latinos/\">homelessness increased by at least 22,500\u003c/a>, to 173,800 people statewide, according to a CalMatters analysis of local point-in-time counts. Nearly 70% of those people were sleeping outdoors or in vehicles, while the rest stayed in shelters and transitional housing. (These biennial visual head counts on a given night \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homeless/2020/01/homeless-point-in-time-count-california-inaccurate-politicized-fresno/\">often are criticized for their inaccuracies\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet the state asked cities and counties to calculate their 2024 goals based on their lower, pre-pandemic counts of homeless people. At the time the application was due this summer, most localities simply figured they couldn’t promise to make homelessness that much better when it had already grown so much worse, and was on track to keep worsening. And being too ambitious risked failure to meet their targets and losing any shot at the bonus money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom saw what they did and cried foul. He \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article268732512.html?ac_cid=DM726120&ac_bid=1382323104\">called out the Sacramento region\u003c/a> in particular — though not by name — for its lack of ambition: Instead of promising a reduction, the local governments and service providers foresaw a 71% hike in homelessness in their report. Why? That’s exactly how much homelessness had already risen in the capital city this year. It’s also the latest data that would be available by the time communities were evaluated on their progress to qualify for \u003ca class=\"c-link\" href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB140\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB140\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" data-remove-tab-index=\"true\">$180 million in bonus funding\u003c/a> statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comparing the relatively current 2022 numbers with the 2024 goals, communities had really signed up for a 4%, or 5,000-person, reduction, according to a CalMatters analysis — which if achieved would be better than the state has done in years. Since 2015, homelessness has only \u003cem>increased\u003c/em> in California, by an average of 7% a year, or about 8,300 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the turmoil of the past couple of weeks, Steinberg said Sacramento has now put forth a new goal, promising a reduction of 15%, or 1,000 fewer unsheltered people, by 2024. How progress might be measured differently remains unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, which promised a 10% decline, or 4,600 fewer unsheltered people between 2020 and 2024, took a similar approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the [count] alone can mean that we receive 0% of the bonus funding, of course we’re going to approach it conservatively,” said Molly Rysman, the authority’s chief program officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Newsom had a point: Some regions had set targets that would represent more than 30% growth between 2022 and their 2024 goals. Bakersfield, for example, initially promised to lower street homelessness by 1%. But after a big fall in unsheltered homelessness this year, their new goal would represent a hike of 37%, or 266 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/1ab9fe6d-c503-4542-a9ff-6f96a49bff05?src=embed\" width=\"800\" height=\"750\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development — which mandates the homeless count — has often advised against tying it to funding because shooting for a certain number could influence its accuracy.

Another measure was leading in the vote count in Pasadena outside Los Angeles. In Florida, voters in Orange County, which includes Orlando, overwhelmingly passed a rent-stabilization measure, although a court ruling means it’s unlikely to go into force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most states preempt cities and counties from enacting rent stabilization, the result of lobbying by the real estate industry in the 1970s. Still, in cities accustomed to rent regulation, voters approved stronger rent caps and more tenant protections.[aside label='Related Articles' tag='housing']A measure in Richmond to limit how much landlords can raise the rent each year was approved by a 14-point margin: Measure P caps rent increases at 3% annually, or 60% of the local consumer price index (CPI), whichever is lower, building off the city’s existing rent-stabilization ordinance that was passed in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gayle McLaughlin, a City Council member who backed the measure, said soaring inflation and an impending recession made the issue of rent control more salient for Richmond voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our tenant community has a lot of low-income renters, and we need to protect them,” she said. “So this cap on future rent increases … will really give our renters a sense of security, so that they won’t worry about being thrown out on the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there were also considerable dissenting voices in Richmond, with nearly 43% of voters opposing Measure P. Derek Barnes, CEO of the East Bay Rental Housing Association, said inflation is hurting landlords, too — especially smaller landlords who don’t have deep pockets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Things like this [measure] really do make it difficult for owner-operators to run rental properties,” he said. “The rent increase cap just makes it extremely difficult to run a business, especially when expenses have increased exponentially.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were also dozens of proposals nationwide on the Nov. 8 ballot raising money for and authorizing construction of affordable housing, said Diane Yentel, president and CEO of the National Low Income Housing Coalition. Many passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Housing is a winning campaign issue. It’s one that voters show up for and it’s one that should cause policymakers at all levels to act,” said Yentel, adding that even a loss can be a win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The act of organizing itself builds strength, it builds power, and it builds connections and it builds momentum,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, more than 73% of voters approved and passed Measure U for the issuance of $850 million in general obligation bonds, of which $350 million would be used for the purchase, renovation or construction of affordable housing. Oakland voters also approved Measure V, which expands eviction protections for tenants in RVs and new units and removes failure to execute a new lease as a just cause for eviction, while also prohibiting the eviction of educators and children during the academic school year. That measure passed with a 66% majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not all ballot measures passed in the Bay Area. In Berkeley, Measure L — which would have issued $650 million in general obligation bonds to fund city services, including $200 million for affordable housing — didn’t get the necessary two-thirds vote needed to pass, even though 57% of voters did approve the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calls for more affordable homes and policies to keep tenants housed have been growing as homelessness increases even in places outside coastal urban centers such as San Francisco and Los Angeles. Moreover, teachers, police officers and other public servants say they cannot afford to live in the places where they work, resulting in nightmare commutes and staffing shortages.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Diane Yentel, president and CEO, National Low Income Housing Coalition\"]‘Housing is a winning campaign issue.

The mission of the more-than-100-year-old organization is to help unhoused and housing-insecure families, and with Twitter they did so through an annual “Twitter NeighborNest” program. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families have made over 17,000 visits to the program since 2015, according to Compass, learning technology skills like digital literacy in both English and Spanish. Child care was provided, and parents at risk of losing their housing were also taught how to search for much-needed housing online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was also a way for the technology workers of Twitter to reach out and interact with their neighbors, some of whom could use their help, said Madeleine Lemos, a spokesperson for Compass Family Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every Twitter employee that I’ve ever talked to after a volunteer event told me how much they loved getting to meet our families, getting to meet our children and getting to take part in that,” she said. “So in addition to just the actual tangible skills and technology access it gave our family, it really was a place of community for everyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On hiatus since the pandemic, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.compass-sf.org/neighbornest\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Twitter NeighborNest\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was slated to reopen next week. Now, the $175,000 program — not counting Twitter’s in-kind donations of a facility and staff volunteer hours — is in limbo. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Twitter staff who normally communicate with Compass Family Services on the program have apparently been laid off, and no one else has reached out in their place. Lemos said the organization has been grateful to Twitter for its past support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As of now, we aren’t really sure who to have a conversation with about the future of the nest,” Lemos said. “We are really hoping that this program can continue, that it can serve our families as both a space where they can have computer access, workforce development and job training, as well as child care. It’s a really wonderful space for our clients and our families to be able to use. And we’d love to see a good future with Twitter in the space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added, “As of now, unfortunately, we don’t know what that future is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At least one other recent event was affected: an annual holiday lunch for veterans held in mid-December, which has served the Tenderloin, Mission and South of Market areas for about 40 years. It’s co-hosted by Del Seymour, the noted executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.codetenderloin.org/team\">Code Tenderloin\u003c/a>, in conjunction with Swords to Plowshares.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter was set to pay for catering the event, but now that commitment is in question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unfortunate,” Seymour said. “The holiday time is when veterans suffer the most, where all our unhoused people suffer the most. These vets look forward to the event. We do it every year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not every organization has seen a direct impact to their bottom line yet. Just a week ago, Leo Sosa, founder of Dev/Mission, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/TwitterForGood/status/1585738824830722048\">handed out laptops\u003c/a> to San Francisco families that were donated by Twitter for Good. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But that event was October 27, a week before the staffing layoffs, and subsequent maelstrom, hit Twitter.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11932066\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11932066 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/52353533308_f8bb634a2b_k.jpg\" alt=\"A group of people almost all wearing black stand behind a long counter preparing food to serve. \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/52353533308_f8bb634a2b_k.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/52353533308_f8bb634a2b_k-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/52353533308_f8bb634a2b_k-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/52353533308_f8bb634a2b_k-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/52353533308_f8bb634a2b_k-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Twitter employees cater food to veterans at the Edwin M.

Now, the $175,000 program — not counting Twitter’s in-kind donations of a facility and staff volunteer hours — is in limbo. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Twitter staff who normally communicate with Compass Family Services on the program have apparently been laid off, and no one else has reached out in their place. Lemos said the organization has been grateful to Twitter for its past support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As of now, we aren’t really sure who to have a conversation with about the future of the nest,” Lemos said. “We are really hoping that this program can continue, that it can serve our families as both a space where they can have computer access, workforce development and job training, as well as child care. It’s a really wonderful space for our clients and our families to be able to use. And we’d love to see a good future with Twitter in the space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added, “As of now, unfortunately, we don’t know what that future is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At least one other recent event was affected: an annual holiday lunch for veterans held in mid-December, which has served the Tenderloin, Mission and South of Market areas for about 40 years. It’s co-hosted by Del Seymour, the noted executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.codetenderloin.org/team\">Code Tenderloin\u003c/a>, in conjunction with Swords to Plowshares.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter was set to pay for catering the event, but now that commitment is in question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unfortunate,” Seymour said. “The holiday time is when veterans suffer the most, where all our unhoused people suffer the most. These vets look forward to the event. We do it every year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not every organization has seen a direct impact to their bottom line yet. Just a week ago, Leo Sosa, founder of Dev/Mission, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/TwitterForGood/status/1585738824830722048\">handed out laptops\u003c/a> to San Francisco families that were donated by Twitter for Good. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But that event was October 27, a week before the staffing layoffs, and subsequent maelstrom, hit Twitter.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11932066\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11932066 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/52353533308_f8bb634a2b_k.jpg\" alt=\"A group of people almost all wearing black stand behind a long counter preparing food to serve. \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/52353533308_f8bb634a2b_k.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/52353533308_f8bb634a2b_k-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/52353533308_f8bb634a2b_k-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/52353533308_f8bb634a2b_k-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/11/52353533308_f8bb634a2b_k-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Twitter employees cater food to veterans at the Edwin M.
