Gavin Newsom said he had reached agreements with Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Citibank and US Bank — along with 200 state chartered banks and credit unions. The deal, he said, only applies to California customers who have been directly impacted by the pandemic and its economic fallout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bank of America agreed to only a 30-day suspension of mortgages and foreclosures, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is significant we have some consistency and we don’t have a patchwork — one bank to another,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Francisco Dueñas, executive director of Housing Now\"]‘Living in California with our housing being so expensive, there’s already a lot of anxiety around staying in your home.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 1 million Californians have filed unemployment claims since March 13, Newsom said Wednesday. A week ago, he issued a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2020/03/19/governor-gavin-newsom-issues-stay-at-home-order/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statewide stay-at-home order\u003c/a>, shuttering all but essential businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tom Bannon, CEO of the California Apartment Association, said the measure will provide welcome relief to millions of mortgage holders across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People will sleep better tonight than they did last night,” Bannon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the relief isn’t coming soon enough for renters, who still have looming April 1 rent payments. The association has urged its members to act with compassion to freeze rent hikes and halt evictions through the duration of the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has fallen short of imposing a statewide moratorium on evictions that many lawmakers and advocacy groups have said is necessary to provide relief to the millions of California renters who have been furloughed, laid off or seen their hours slashed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just irresponsible,” said Leah Simon-Weisberg, legal director with the tenant-rights group Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment. She noted that the absence of a statewide moratorium has created a confusing patchwork system. “The amount of work he’s creating is completely unnecessary. He should be doing everything he can to take care of this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, Newsom issued an executive order \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2020/03/16/governor-newsom-issues-executive-order-to-protect-renters-and-homeowners-during-covid-19-pandemic/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">clarifying the legal authority\u003c/a> cities and counties have to enact their own eviction moratoriums.

In addition, \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2020/modifying-2020-operations-for-counting-college-students.html\">the Census Bureau announced Sunday\u003c/a> that census representatives won't be deployed to community events until April 13, and door knockers won't be following up with many college students until April 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the bureau has \"strongly encouraged\" households to respond to the survey online, by phone (1-844-330-2020) or by mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berman shares the same address with the people who live in the main house, which means she will likely have to be included in their form, because the bureau prefers to receive one form per address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berman, 34, an Alameda County librarian, began considering her predicament, of all places, at a recent census-related training in her workplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That's when it kind of popped in my head, ‘Oh wait, but I share an address with somebody else,’ ” Berman said. “And that somebody else and I are not friends.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"census\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]Last week, Alameda County mailed flyers to about 4,000 addresses to inform them about how to complete the census if they live in an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, that does not have a separate address with the U.S. Postal Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's very concerning to think about how the housing crisis is going to make this really challenging to reach individuals or possibly cause an undercount,” said Casey Farmer, executive director of Alameda County’s Complete Count Committee, which aims to boost participation in this year’s census.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farmer is relying on hundreds of volunteers from nonprofits, local shelters and churches fanning out across Alameda County to ensure people from vulnerable communities are counted. That includes people the census considers \u003ca href=\"https://cacensus2020.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=48be59de0ba94a3dacff1c9116df8b37\">hard to reach\u003c/a>, like those living in nonstandard housing or families doubled up in a single unit. Renters, immigrants and communities of color have also been historically undercounted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We looked at the map of our hard-to-count communities. That's about 26% of Alameda County, the highest in the entire region,” Farmer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census results determine political power and are used to direct roughly $1.5 trillion of federal funding to the states and local governments. So a major undercount in Alameda County could mean the loss of significant funding, Farmer explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's vital that we reach every single garage unit or back house and that those individuals know the importance of getting counted,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://arcg.is/1vGfia\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With skyrocketing housing costs in some areas of the country, a growing number of renters are living in unconventional housing units often left off the Census Bureau’s address list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And of course, California is one of the areas where that's the biggest problem,” said Edward Kissam, a trustee of the WKF Charitable Giving Fund and longtime researcher in census undercounts and immigrant communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, Kissam partnered with the Central Valley Immigrant Integration Collaborative to conduct \u003ca href=\"https://content.iospress.com/articles/statistical-journal-of-the-iaos/sji180480\">a study identifying hidden housing\u003c/a> missed by the Census Bureau in San Jose, San Francisco and Fresno.

That could be the sound of a family making dinner or seeing a bottle of shampoo in a bathroom window.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quezada and other canvassers covered 20 census tracts in Fresno in late 2017 through early 2018 and identified 606 unconventional housing units. Many of the people she spoke with were immigrants and people of color from low-income communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people who would most benefit from these federal programs are the ones who, ironically, are not getting counted,” Quezada said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those missed addresses could translate into tens of millions of federal dollars to fund important resources like food stamps, Section 8 vouchers and affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents in hidden housing, like Erin Berman, are still considering their options for being counted. Berman may choose to fill out the form online and leave the paper survey for her neighbor to mail back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she knows she’s not alone.

That includes people the census considers \u003ca href=\"https://cacensus2020.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=48be59de0ba94a3dacff1c9116df8b37\">hard to reach\u003c/a>, like those living in nonstandard housing or families doubled up in a single unit. Renters, immigrants and communities of color have also been historically undercounted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We looked at the map of our hard-to-count communities. That's about 26% of Alameda County, the highest in the entire region,” Farmer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census results determine political power and are used to direct roughly $1.5 trillion of federal funding to the states and local governments. So a major undercount in Alameda County could mean the loss of significant funding, Farmer explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's vital that we reach every single garage unit or back house and that those individuals know the importance of getting counted,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://arcg.is/1vGfia\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With skyrocketing housing costs in some areas of the country, a growing number of renters are living in unconventional housing units often left off the Census Bureau’s address list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And of course, California is one of the areas where that's the biggest problem,” said Edward Kissam, a trustee of the WKF Charitable Giving Fund and longtime researcher in census undercounts and immigrant communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, Kissam partnered with the Central Valley Immigrant Integration Collaborative to conduct \u003ca href=\"https://content.iospress.com/articles/statistical-journal-of-the-iaos/sji180480\">a study identifying hidden housing\u003c/a> missed by the Census Bureau in San Jose, San Francisco and Fresno. Canvassers identified 13,000 new low-visibility, unconventional housing units, that were added to the address list for the 2020 census.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cindy Quezada, with the Central Valley Immigrant Integration Collaborative, spent several weeks walking the back alleys of Fresno neighborhoods looking for sheds, garages and trailers that served as makeshift homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were looking for structural designs, pipes or vents, as well as just signs of life,” she said. That could be the sound of a family making dinner or seeing a bottle of shampoo in a bathroom window.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quezada and other canvassers covered 20 census tracts in Fresno in late 2017 through early 2018 and identified 606 unconventional housing units. Many of the people she spoke with were immigrants and people of color from low-income communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people who would most benefit from these federal programs are the ones who, ironically, are not getting counted,” Quezada said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those missed addresses could translate into tens of millions of federal dollars to fund important resources like food stamps, Section 8 vouchers and affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents in hidden housing, like Erin Berman, are still considering their options for being counted. Berman may choose to fill out the form online and leave the paper survey for her neighbor to mail back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she knows she’s not alone. She points to the large house next door, which is split into half a dozen units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I venture to guess they don't really all know each other either,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Proposition E passed with 55.1% of the vote making it likely that new office development will slow down. The measure ties approval for new square footage for office space to whether the city builds 2,042 units of affordable housing each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of the measure warn it would slow economic growth and jobs by reducing funding for affordable housing because there will be less revenue collected in fees that are tacked onto development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Only the richest companies will be able to stay here,” said Nick Josefowitz, policy director at the San Francisco Bay Area Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, supporters of Proposition E, which was placed on the ballot by affordable housing developer and management company \u003ca href=\"https://www.todco.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Todco\u003c/a>, say it prioritizes housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For us, it’s about balance,” said Jon Jacobo, director of policy and advocacy at Todco, “If you’re going to build your office tower [and] build the affordable required for it, all power to you. Go right ahead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Jose Voters Pass Measure E, a Real Estate Transfer Tax\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In San Jose, 53.2% of voters who cast ballots Tuesday approved a real estate transfer tax on homes and commercial properties sold at $2 million or more to generate ongoing funding for affordable housing and supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone who works in a restaurant or a hotel, everyone who works in a hospital, we know people struggle to live here,” said San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo in a Facebook Q&A on Monday night encouraging people to vote for the measure. He’s in a rush to find funding solutions to meet\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11736561/san-jose-mayor-sam-liccardo-on-housing-and-suburban-resistance-to-building-more-of-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> his goal of building 10,000 affordable\u003c/a> units by 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure E was placed on the ballot by the City Council after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11723268/details-emerge-on-san-joses-100-million-pledge-to-build-more-affordable-housing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$450 million bond measure failed in 2018\u003c/a>. The Yes on E campaign raised about $370,000 and was supported by affordable housing developers BRIDGE Housing and Eden Housing. Overall, the real estate transfer tax is expected to generate about $50 million a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how the \u003ca href=\"https://www.affordablesj.com/faq/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">city of San Jose says\u003c/a> it will use the revenue:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>45% for permanent supportive and affordable rental housing for extremely low-income families\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>35% for rental assistance for low-income families\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>10% for loans, down payment assistance, homeownership programs and some rentals for moderate income families\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>10% for homeless prevention\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Michael Lane, deputy director for the housing advocacy group SV@Home said the revenue spent on protecting people from evictions could help them avoid homelessness “that’s even more cost effective than trying to help someone once they are on the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lane believes the new tax is a big deal since it provides ongoing revenue for housing that the city does not currently have.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Mountain View Measure D Fails, Keeping Current Rent Increases\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Rent bills will essentially stay put for Mountain View tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure D, which would have capped annual rent increases at 4% was voted down by 69.3% of voters. It was placed on the ballot by the City Council in response to a previous rent control measure from 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That measure capped rent increases in Mountain View at inflation rates ranging from 2% to 5%. It currently sits at 3.5%. It also prohibited evictions without just cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s working,” said former Mayor Lenny Siegel, who opposed this year’s Measure D. “I think most of the residents of Mountain View realize it’s working and don’t want to mess with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Siegel said renters in Mountain View, like many other Bay Area cities, face displacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Oakland Measure Q for Park Maintenance and Homeless Services Narrowly Passes\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>After \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/oaklands-budget-battle-heats-up/Content?oid=26586639\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">facing budget cuts last year\u003c/a>, the Oakland City Council asked voters for a 20-year parcel tax to pay for keeping city parks and recreation facilities clean and in repair. And voters, just barely, are saying yes. It’s got 66.9% of the vote; it needs two-thirds to pass, and there are a number of uncounted ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure Q adds an annual parcel tax of $148 on single-family homes and an approximate $101 tax on units in apartments and condos.

For ongoing results see \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/elections/results\">KQED’s election result page\u003c/a>. County election officials will officially announce whether the measure passed a month after the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Francisco Proposition E, Which Ties Office Development to Affordable Housing Production, Passes\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Cities might envy San Francisco’s booming economy but not when it comes with a housing shortage. Proposition E passed with 55.1% of the vote making it likely that new office development will slow down. The measure ties approval for new square footage for office space to whether the city builds 2,042 units of affordable housing each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of the measure warn it would slow economic growth and jobs by reducing funding for affordable housing because there will be less revenue collected in fees that are tacked onto development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Only the richest companies will be able to stay here,” said Nick Josefowitz, policy director at the San Francisco Bay Area Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, supporters of Proposition E, which was placed on the ballot by affordable housing developer and management company \u003ca href=\"https://www.todco.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Todco\u003c/a>, say it prioritizes housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For us, it’s about balance,” said Jon Jacobo, director of policy and advocacy at Todco, “If you’re going to build your office tower [and] build the affordable required for it, all power to you. Go right ahead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Jose Voters Pass Measure E, a Real Estate Transfer Tax\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In San Jose, 53.2% of voters who cast ballots Tuesday approved a real estate transfer tax on homes and commercial properties sold at $2 million or more to generate ongoing funding for affordable housing and supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone who works in a restaurant or a hotel, everyone who works in a hospital, we know people struggle to live here,” said San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo in a Facebook Q&A on Monday night encouraging people to vote for the measure. He’s in a rush to find funding solutions to meet\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11736561/san-jose-mayor-sam-liccardo-on-housing-and-suburban-resistance-to-building-more-of-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> his goal of building 10,000 affordable\u003c/a> units by 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure E was placed on the ballot by the City Council after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11723268/details-emerge-on-san-joses-100-million-pledge-to-build-more-affordable-housing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$450 million bond measure failed in 2018\u003c/a>. The Yes on E campaign raised about $370,000 and was supported by affordable housing developers BRIDGE Housing and Eden Housing. Overall, the real estate transfer tax is expected to generate about $50 million a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how the \u003ca href=\"https://www.affordablesj.com/faq/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">city of San Jose says\u003c/a> it will use the revenue:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>45% for permanent supportive and affordable rental housing for extremely low-income families\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>35% for rental assistance for low-income families\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>10% for loans, down payment assistance, homeownership programs and some rentals for moderate income families\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>10% for homeless prevention\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Michael Lane, deputy director for the housing advocacy group SV@Home said the revenue spent on protecting people from evictions could help them avoid homelessness “that’s even more cost effective than trying to help someone once they are on the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lane believes the new tax is a big deal since it provides ongoing revenue for housing that the city does not currently have.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Mountain View Measure D Fails, Keeping Current Rent Increases\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Rent bills will essentially stay put for Mountain View tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure D, which would have capped annual rent increases at 4% was voted down by 69.3% of voters. It was placed on the ballot by the City Council in response to a previous rent control measure from 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That measure capped rent increases in Mountain View at inflation rates ranging from 2% to 5%. It currently sits at 3.5%. It also prohibited evictions without just cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s working,” said former Mayor Lenny Siegel, who opposed this year’s Measure D. “I think most of the residents of Mountain View realize it’s working and don’t want to mess with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Siegel said renters in Mountain View, like many other Bay Area cities, face displacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Oakland Measure Q for Park Maintenance and Homeless Services Narrowly Passes\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>After \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/oaklands-budget-battle-heats-up/Content?oid=26586639\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">facing budget cuts last year\u003c/a>, the Oakland City Council asked voters for a 20-year parcel tax to pay for keeping city parks and recreation facilities clean and in repair. And voters, just barely, are saying yes. It’s got 66.9% of the vote; it needs two-thirds to pass, and there are a number of uncounted ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure Q adds an annual parcel tax of $148 on single-family homes and an approximate $101 tax on units in apartments and condos. Nearly two-thirds of the estimated $21 million raised annually will go towards parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re cautiously optimistic,” said Brooke Levin, co-chair of the Yes on Q campaign, who previously worked for Oakland’s Public Works Department. “People have concerns about the lack of staffing and increased usage of parks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another 30% of the revenue is slated for homeless services, but Levin said it’s unclear exactly how it will be used.

During that same time period, the cost of housing increased by more than 8% from 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this environment, it is not surprising that families would double or triple up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’ve got people in overcrowded conditions, typically, it’s going to be a result of economic inequality,” said Dr. Maximiliano Cuevas, who heads up Clínica de Salud del Valle de Salinas, a community-founded health clinic that works primarily with farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2019 analysis of Census Bureau data by the California Budget and Policy Center found statewide economic inequality, resulting in millions being unable to afford basic bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you start superimposing economic inequality – that is you don’t have sufficient economic resources to maintain yourself while you’re here – it will impact you,” Cuevas said. “We break down. Our body begins to get sick. If you don’t have access to healthcare, you get sicker until that disease process runs its course.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People living in overcrowded homes may have to deal with vermin and pests, as it can prove more challenging to keep the home clean when too many people live there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communicable diseases also love overcrowding.

However, during the 2018-2019 flu season in California, 588 people died from the flu, according to the state health department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors like Cuevas said overcrowded housing, which has increased as the housing crisis deepened, also raises vulnerable peoples’ risk of contracting these illnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Viruses such as norovirus or influenza can be passed through contact with contaminated surfaces such as door handles, hands or food, but other diseases such as whooping cough or tuberculosis require people to breathe in the bacteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had instances (of tuberculosis) in the southern part of the county because of overcrowding: that is more than two people living in a room or more than one family living in a house,” said Cuevas. “We’re seeing a lot of that right now. For people to afford the rent of a house, you’ve got five, even 10 to 12 families living in a house.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’ve got multiple families living in one home, it’s going to be very difficult to isolate someone with tuberculosis, with norovirus, with influenza,” said Dr. Edward Moreno, the director of the Monterey County Public Health Department. “Especially if you have one bathroom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11803977\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11803977\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-800x560.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-800x560.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-160x112.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-1020x714.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pests and viruses thrive in overcrowded environments like this trailer park in Salinas. \u003ccite>(David Rodriguez/The Salinas Californian)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“If you’ve got a one-bedroom home or a studio, you can’t isolate someone. That’s how overcrowding contributes to making people sick, because you can’t isolate the person,” said Moreno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on 2011-2015 data from the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project, the state Department of Public Health found that in California, 8.2% of households are considered overcrowded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Monterey County, the rate of overcrowded households is 55% higher than the state average: It stands at 12.7%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latino households in California experience the highest rate of overcrowding, at 20.1%, followed by Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders. In contrast, white households are the least likely to be overcrowded, at 1.7%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuberculosis is more commonly found among those who live doubled and tripled up, said Cuevas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In countries with fewer resources, a bacterial disease like tuberculosis is often considered a death sentence, said Moreno. Mexico, South America, Southeast Asia and Central Europe all grapple with this fear, said Moreno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you want to stay in the family, you want to keep your job, you don’t talk about your tuberculosis, even though you’re probably infecting other people,” said Moreno. “That’s something we deal with as we’re doing our investigations, so we don’t always get all their other family members or people at work they’ve exposed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors with the Monterey County Department of Public Health noted that tuberculosis infections increased in the second half of the decade but dropped from 29 cases in 2018 to just 12 cases in 2019, said Kristy Michie, the assistant director of public health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s in a county with more than 440,000 people,” said Moreno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked what factors led or contributed to the decline in tuberculosis in the county, officials from the public health department are stymied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The health department does not have any data or evidence to support theories about why the incidence declined last year,” said Michie. As such, she said, officials are closely monitoring cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Last year was unusual for us, so we do expect to see at least this number or more this year,” said Michie. “If that’s influenced by overcrowding, we can’t say for sure; there’s a lot of things at play there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another bacterial disease, pertussis, also known as whooping cough, can pass more easily among the vulnerable in overcrowded conditions. More individuals became ill with whooping cough in 2019 than in previous years, but Michie said that was expected due to its cyclical pattern that peaks every three to five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks like a radio wave across time,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Local, Low-cost or No-cost Healthcare\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In certain parts of Monterey County, overcrowding and unhealthy living conditions are common, thanks to a lack of affordable housing. That can leave the area’s tens of thousands of farmworkers squeezed into garages and living rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a 2015 fact sheet by researchers at San Diego State University and the Center for Immigrant Integration at the University of Southern California, an estimated 18%, or just under 9,000, of the 49,000 people who live in East Salinas are undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers estimate only about 23% of undocumented immigrants have health insurance, compared with 63% of the U.S.-born population, excluding documented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The group that’s going to face difficulty (getting treatment) are the uninsured,” said Moreno. Specifically, he said, those who didn’t sign up for Covered California, or don’t have Medi-Cal or Medicare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going without health coverage can leave people choosing between a bill and a doctor’s visit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children under 18 years of age and adults under 25 are guaranteed medical benefits by the Golden State, regardless of citizenship. However, that could still leave millions of residents without health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, between 2.35 million and 2.6 million undocumented immigrants called California home, research by the Public Policy Institute of California showed. Those numbers account for nearly a quarter of the nation’s undocumented population and 6% of the state’s total population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"housing, poverty\" label=\"More Related Stories.\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Resources for Uninsured\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>For those without insurance, there are options available for medical care. Hospitals may have sliding scale payments for treatment, and the state’s Department of Health Care Services offers lists of healthcare providers and insurers on its website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Small federally qualified health centers or clinic systems across the state, such as the Clinica de Salud del Valle de Salinas clinics, offer healthcare to patients in English or Spanish at low or no cost. These community-based health care providers receive federal funds to provide primary care services in underserved areas and must meet certain requirements, such as providing care on a sliding fee scale based on ability to pay. The Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital System also operates a mobile clinic four days a week in Salinas, Castroville and Greenfield with free healthcare in English or in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Kate Cimini is a multi-media journalist with The Salinas Californian.

For people to afford the rent of a house, you’ve got five, even 10 to 12 families living in a house.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’ve got multiple families living in one home, it’s going to be very difficult to isolate someone with tuberculosis, with norovirus, with influenza,” said Dr. Edward Moreno, the director of the Monterey County Public Health Department. “Especially if you have one bathroom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11803977\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11803977\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-800x560.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-800x560.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-160x112.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-1020x714.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pests and viruses thrive in overcrowded environments like this trailer park in Salinas. \u003ccite>(David Rodriguez/The Salinas Californian)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“If you’ve got a one-bedroom home or a studio, you can’t isolate someone. That’s how overcrowding contributes to making people sick, because you can’t isolate the person,” said Moreno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on 2011-2015 data from the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project, the state Department of Public Health found that in California, 8.2% of households are considered overcrowded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Monterey County, the rate of overcrowded households is 55% higher than the state average: It stands at 12.7%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latino households in California experience the highest rate of overcrowding, at 20.1%, followed by Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders. In contrast, white households are the least likely to be overcrowded, at 1.7%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuberculosis is more commonly found among those who live doubled and tripled up, said Cuevas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In countries with fewer resources, a bacterial disease like tuberculosis is often considered a death sentence, said Moreno. Mexico, South America, Southeast Asia and Central Europe all grapple with this fear, said Moreno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you want to stay in the family, you want to keep your job, you don’t talk about your tuberculosis, even though you’re probably infecting other people,” said Moreno. “That’s something we deal with as we’re doing our investigations, so we don’t always get all their other family members or people at work they’ve exposed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors with the Monterey County Department of Public Health noted that tuberculosis infections increased in the second half of the decade but dropped from 29 cases in 2018 to just 12 cases in 2019, said Kristy Michie, the assistant director of public health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s in a county with more than 440,000 people,” said Moreno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked what factors led or contributed to the decline in tuberculosis in the county, officials from the public health department are stymied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The health department does not have any data or evidence to support theories about why the incidence declined last year,” said Michie. As such, she said, officials are closely monitoring cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Last year was unusual for us, so we do expect to see at least this number or more this year,” said Michie. “If that’s influenced by overcrowding, we can’t say for sure; there’s a lot of things at play there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another bacterial disease, pertussis, also known as whooping cough, can pass more easily among the vulnerable in overcrowded conditions. More individuals became ill with whooping cough in 2019 than in previous years, but Michie said that was expected due to its cyclical pattern that peaks every three to five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks like a radio wave across time,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Local, Low-cost or No-cost Healthcare\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In certain parts of Monterey County, overcrowding and unhealthy living conditions are common, thanks to a lack of affordable housing. That can leave the area’s tens of thousands of farmworkers squeezed into garages and living rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a 2015 fact sheet by researchers at San Diego State University and the Center for Immigrant Integration at the University of Southern California, an estimated 18%, or just under 9,000, of the 49,000 people who live in East Salinas are undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers estimate only about 23% of undocumented immigrants have health insurance, compared with 63% of the U.S.-born population, excluding documented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The group that’s going to face difficulty (getting treatment) are the uninsured,” said Moreno. Specifically, he said, those who didn’t sign up for Covered California, or don’t have Medi-Cal or Medicare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going without health coverage can leave people choosing between a bill and a doctor’s visit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children under 18 years of age and adults under 25 are guaranteed medical benefits by the Golden State, regardless of citizenship. However, that could still leave millions of residents without health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, between 2.35 million and 2.6 million undocumented immigrants called California home, research by the Public Policy Institute of California showed. Those numbers account for nearly a quarter of the nation’s undocumented population and 6% of the state’s total population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
