That includes rental subsidies, which were a “budget battle we found the revenue for, got the funding for,” Friedenbach said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor’s office pushed back on those claims, and said the budget process was public, with open negotiations between the mayor’s office and the Board of Supervisors allowing plenty of time for input.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while much of the money from the measure has already been earmarked, Friedenbach argues that the realities of COVID-19 have re-shifted priorities for homeless providers. Additional funding, she says, is now urgently needed to create additional safe sleeping sites, buying hotel rooms and increasing rental assistance to keep more tenants at risk of eviction from losing their houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/KQEDnews/status/1258821215583473664\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a good chunk of people who might need help during this pandemic and become homeless otherwise,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friedenbach says the mayor and homeless advocates are still very much at odds on how much of Proposition C funding should be spent, and she hopes the two sides can reach some kind of agreement when the oversight committee convenes next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The initiative passed, and she needs to respect that it’s a people’s initiative with people’s oversight,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Friedenbach, executive director of the San Francisco Coalition on Homelessness, said, “I think it doesn’t speak well of our shelters.

I’d think we should learn to expand that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herring also said the high level of people researchers talked to who were now on the streets, but had actually been in shelters previously, “goes against this thing we hear often of people ‘resisting services.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Fire officials also warn that the risk of flooding remains high for weeks and months after a wildfire, due to the amount of destroyed vegetation that once stabilized the soil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For most residents, assessing the damage to their homes is top of mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some may not want to return because of the difficulty of seeing your home and possessions in ashes,” said Rob Goodman, who lost his home in the 2015 Valley Fire in Lake County. “When we first returned to our street, we were shocked to see every home gone. Seeing our home in ashes left us feeling numb.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you do decide to return, I must urge great caution,” he added. “Your site will be toxic — containing everything from metals to plastics to wiring, plumbing, etc.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even for homes that are partially damaged or even seemingly intact, there are numerous precautions residents should take when returning after evacuation orders are lifted. Here’s a checklist based on guidance from Cal Fire, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the American Red Cross and individual county resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Assess the Area\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Be aware of and use caution near damaged utility poles, trees weakened by fire and other debris that could shift or fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buildings or parts of buildings that are standing may have sustained fire, smoke and water damage and be at risk of collapsing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some cases, county officials may have inspected structures and determined whether they’re safe — or not — to enter. If you have doubts about the structural stability of your residence, have it inspected by a qualified building inspector or structural engineer before entering.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Going Inside Your Home\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Disasters like wildfires and floods create additional safety hazards, often leaving behind toxic chemicals, gas leaks, broken glass, exposed rebar or nails and tripping hazards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>First of all, check for the smell of gas. Don’t enter if you smell gas and call your utility company immediately.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Inspect your home for hot embers or material that may still be burning — in gutters, attics, crawl spaces or even holes in the ground.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Be aware of slippery floors or broken material that could stab or puncture you.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Check the utilities:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>If there is any visible damage to gas lines, propane tanks or electrical wiring and meters, DO NOT attempt to turn them on or repair them. Contact your local utility immediately.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If the utilities look undamaged, turn off power until you’ve completed your inspection.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>When you’re ready to turn the power on, first turn off all appliances and make sure the meter is not damaged before turning on the main circuit breaker.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Keep an eye out for sparks, broken wires, or cracks in the roof, foundation or chimney, as well as plumbing and sewage system damage, household chemical spills and damaged appliances.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Do not drink water from the faucet until officials say it’s safe to drink. Water supply systems can be damaged or become polluted during disasters.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Discard all food that’s been exposed to heat, smoke, fumes, soot or flood waters. If the power has been out, discard food that could be spoiling.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The state Senate is poised to vote on the COVID-19 relief act on Monday, but the bill will face a high hurdle – a two-thirds majority – to pass.

Anna M. Caballero, D-Salinas, are now off the table. Caballero, Chiu, Newsom and advocates for tenants and landlords hammered out the compromise bill over the last few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How It Works\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Notably, the legislation doesn't stop \u003cem>all\u003c/em> evictions. And the provisions to protect renters come with timelines attached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the main tenant protection provisions in the bill:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Full protections:\u003c/strong> Any rent missed between March 1 and Aug. 31 will be converted to civil debt. This means landlords can take tenants to small claims court for any missed rent — but they can't evict you for not paying it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Protections with a caveat:\u003c/strong> Rents missed between Sept. 1 and Jan. 31 are a different story, however. Tenants \u003cem>must pay\u003c/em> 25% of rent within that period or else they'll be open to eviction. The remaining 75% of their rent is treated as a civil debt, just like the provision for missed rent from between March 1 and August 31.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>More time:\u003c/strong> Also under the new law, the usual three-day notice to evict that landlords post – mandatory before they go through the court process to evict a tenant – is now a 15-day-notice.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>How to file:\u003c/strong> That notice is also how a tenant begins protecting themselves from eviction: Once a landlord has posted a 15-day notice, a tenant can file with their landlord that they have a pandemic-related hardship.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caveats and Concessions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former version of this compromise bill – Assembly Bill 1436 – also authored by Chiu, would've allowed anyone to file an attestation that they were experiencing a pandemic-caused financial hardship to qualify for eviction protection. Now, that requirement is tighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Perjury:\u003c/strong> Under the new version of the bill, tenants must swear under penalty of perjury that they are enduring a pandemic-related hardship. Tenant advocates are worried that may scare off undocumented immigrants and other vulnerable populations from filing for those protections in the first place.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Means-testing:\u003c/strong> If a tenant earns 130% of a county's area median income or higher, a landlord can ask for them to produce \u003cem>proof \u003c/em>of a pandemic-related financial hardship, like a layoff or wage-reduction notice from an employer.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>No more eviction moratoriums:\u003c/strong> Eviction moratoriums previously passed by cities and counties will be grandfathered in, but they won't be able to pass any extensions specifically for evictions regarding non-payment of rent. While some of them are stronger than the state's provisions, some are set to expire after 30 days.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Courts:\u003c/strong> Courts will face a tighter time frame, too. They'll have until just Oct. 5 to begin processing evictions for non-payment of rent in non-COVID cases, though sources familiar with the negotiations suggest courts may find themselves scrambling to ramp up staff in time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Property owners:\u003c/strong> Mortgage forbearance is now out of the picture. Under pressure from groups representing small property owners, Chiu had amended AB 1436 to allow property owners – even non-landlords – to make late mortgage payments. Under pressure from the banking industry, that's now gone.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Despite concerns from tenant organizations, the California Apartment Association, representing landlords, were supportive of the compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='eviction-moratorium']“We’ve been working around the clock with lawmakers and the governor’s office to make sure the legislation is fair and balanced,” said Debra Carlton, executive vice president of state public affairs at the California Apartment Association, in a statement. \"Our goal has been to provide both help for tenants who are truly affected by COVID-19, as well as compensation for landlords, especially mom and pop owners, at risk of foreclosure after several months without rent payments.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked to describe negotiations with the California Apartment Association and lawmakers who had their ear, Chiu noted \"the landlord industry is an incredibly powerful force in Sacramento,\" making tenant bills notoriously hard to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'll be the first to say this proposal has shortcomings. We wanted more. We fought for more,\" Chiu said. While the bill won't halt all evictions, \"it will prevent many evictions and delay even more.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he added, \"turning away from an imperfect proposal and allowing all evictions to resume immediately without any protections is just not an option. The consequences are too dire.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The remaining 75% of their rent is treated as a civil debt, just like the provision for missed rent from between March 1 and August 31.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>More time:\u003c/strong> Also under the new law, the usual three-day notice to evict that landlords post – mandatory before they go through the court process to evict a tenant – is now a 15-day-notice.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>How to file:\u003c/strong> That notice is also how a tenant begins protecting themselves from eviction: Once a landlord has posted a 15-day notice, a tenant can file with their landlord that they have a pandemic-related hardship.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caveats and Concessions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former version of this compromise bill – Assembly Bill 1436 – also authored by Chiu, would've allowed anyone to file an attestation that they were experiencing a pandemic-caused financial hardship to qualify for eviction protection. Now, that requirement is tighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Perjury:\u003c/strong> Under the new version of the bill, tenants must swear under penalty of perjury that they are enduring a pandemic-related hardship. Tenant advocates are worried that may scare off undocumented immigrants and other vulnerable populations from filing for those protections in the first place.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Means-testing:\u003c/strong> If a tenant earns 130% of a county's area median income or higher, a landlord can ask for them to produce \u003cem>proof \u003c/em>of a pandemic-related financial hardship, like a layoff or wage-reduction notice from an employer.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>No more eviction moratoriums:\u003c/strong> Eviction moratoriums previously passed by cities and counties will be grandfathered in, but they won't be able to pass any extensions specifically for evictions regarding non-payment of rent. While some of them are stronger than the state's provisions, some are set to expire after 30 days.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Courts:\u003c/strong> Courts will face a tighter time frame, too. They'll have until just Oct. 5 to begin processing evictions for non-payment of rent in non-COVID cases, though sources familiar with the negotiations suggest courts may find themselves scrambling to ramp up staff in time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Property owners:\u003c/strong> Mortgage forbearance is now out of the picture. Under pressure from groups representing small property owners, Chiu had amended AB 1436 to allow property owners – even non-landlords – to make late mortgage payments. Under pressure from the banking industry, that's now gone.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Despite concerns from tenant organizations, the California Apartment Association, representing landlords, were supportive of the compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
