His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>Activists with a group of women that took over a vacant house in Oakland want to make the protest chant, ‘housing is a human right’ a reality by changing the California constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group, Moms 4 Housing, is having preliminary conversations with East Bay Democratic Assemblyman Rob Bonta to introduce legislation that would “establish a fundamental human right to housing,” said Leah Simon-Weisberg, an attorney representing the group. Details about what exactly would be in the proposed legislation or when it would be introduced are still being worked out, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Dominique Walker, cofounder of Moms 4 Housing\"]'We believe that housing is a human right and we’re going to fight for that.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The phrase has recently been on the lips of housing justice activists and some local lawmakers, especially after Dominique Walker and other mothers facing homelessness in November occupied the West Oakland house, which is owned by a Southern California-based real estate investment firm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe that housing is a human right and we’re going to fight for that,” said Walker, a founder of the group Moms 4 Housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rallying cry is both protest and petition in a bid to urge government leaders and corporations to address the widening equity gap in housing and provide for people forced to live in shelters, on the streets or in overcrowded homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Does 'Housing as a Human Right' Mean?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Most advocates for tenants rights and homeless people believe housing is essential, much like food or water. “It has to begin with the recognition of what it takes to be a human being,” said Osha Neumann, an attorney with the East Bay Community Law Center and longtime defender of people experiencing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If someone has a right to life, someone has a right to what is required to live that life,” Neumann said. “And housing, shelter is certainly one of those things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United Nations identifies adequate housing as a fundamental human right, defining it as “the right to live somewhere in security, peace and dignity.” It further clarifies these rights to include security of tenure, adequate conditions, protection against forced evictions and access to affordable housing, according to the UN's \u003ca href=\"https://www.ohchr.org/en/professionalinterest/pages/cescr.aspx\">International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A right to adequate housing is not a requirement that states build free housing for the entire population, said Eric Tars, legal director at the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty. Rather, he said, it devotes resources and protective measures to prevent homelessness, discrimination and promote permanent stable housing. That could take the form of more public housing and vouchers, incentives to develop affordable housing, rent control and inclusionary zoning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What that looks like at the local level is a lot of things that our country is doing already, but it needs to be brought to a fuller scale,” Tars said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tars has spent most of his career researching housing and human rights law, and said it will take a bold move, like a legal right to housing, to address the country’s affordability crisis and growing homeless population. And time and political pressure is needed to shift housing policy at a local and national level toward a rights-based paradigm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"affordable-housing\"]“I'm hopeful that we're laying the rhetorical framework to envision housing as a right so that we can then build the political momentum to actually implement it,” Tars said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recognizing a legal or human right to housing could give advocates, tenants and people experiencing homelessness a tool to hold landlords legally responsible for spiking rents high or to sue cities that are not building sufficient affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But enforcing a right to housing would also be difficult given the high cost of affordable housing production, especially in a region as pricey as the San Francisco Bay Area. And it also runs contrary to America's longstanding capitalist approach to using housing and property as a market-influenced commodity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The right to housing in this society comes when you have the money,” Neumann said. “If you don't show them the money, you don't have a right to housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is This a New Idea?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Although it might seem like a new idea, the concept of housing as a human right was actually considered as federal policy in the aftermath of the Great Depression. In his 1944 State of the Union address, with the world still at war, President Franklin D. Roosevelt introduced a “Second Bill of Rights,” an effort to further address the rampant poverty and income inequality that still besieged millions of Americans. That included the right for every American, regardless of “station, race, or creed” to have “a decent home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmXVCGMfkKI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roosevelt made the case for these economic rights not just as a matter of fairness, but also one of national security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of these rights spell security,” said Roosevelt in his address. “America’s own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for our citizens. For unless there is security here at home, there cannot be lasting peace in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He recognized even back then that the national security and economic security were intimately integrated,” Tars said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed to lead the Commission on Human Rights and played a key role in drafting the adoption of the United Nations' 1948 \u003ca href=\"https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Universal Declaration of Human Rights\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the landmark \u003ca href=\"https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/81st-congress/session-1/c81s1ch338.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1949 Housing Act\u003c/a>, part of President Harry S. Truman’s Fair Deal, the notion of housing as a right was framed only as a goal, not a mandate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing rights' policy discussions went dark for years during the Cold War when discussion of economic and social justice issues could get someone branded as a communist, said Tars. Later, during the civil rights movement, groups like the NAACP began using a universal human rights framework as a tool to fight Jim Crow racism, violence and segregation against African Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That's part of why we want to use the language of human rights and the human rights framework to talk about this,” Tars said. “These are our fellow human beings and everybody deserves to be able to live with dignity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Have Any Countries Adopted Right to Housing Policies?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>France, Scotland and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sahrc.org.za/home/21/files/Fact%20Sheet%20on%20the%20right%20to%20adequate%20housing.pdf\">South Africa\u003c/a> have all included a right to housing in their constitutions or enacted similar legislation. In 2003, \u003ca href=\"https://nlchp.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Great_Scot.pdf\">Scotland passed a comprehensive housing law\u003c/a> that mandated local governments to find permanent housing for all homeless individuals within 90 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A handful of small local governments in the U.S. have also adopted related measures, including Dane County in Wisconsin, where \u003ca href=\"http://www.forwardlookout.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/res292.clean-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a resolution\u003c/a> was passed in 2012 acknowledging a right to housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dane County Supervisor Heidi Wegleitner says the board has used this language to budget for homeless services, create an affordable housing fund and open the county’s first homeless navigation system. “If we don't say it in that language, if we don't frame it in that way, it really loses a sense of urgency,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Osha Neumann, attorney with the East Bay Law Center\"]'The right to housing in this society comes when you have the money. If you don't show them the money, you don't have a right to housing.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But right to housing laws in the U.S. are rare; some local governments have instead adopted a “right to shelter,” including Massachusetts, \u003ca href=\"https://wamu.org/story/17/12/27/weather-gets-frigid-d-c-guarantees-shelter-people-need/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Washington, D.C.\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.marketplace.org/2015/09/30/wealth-poverty/behind-new-yorks-right-shelter-policy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York\u003c/a>. Critics, however, say a right to shelter doesn’t go far enough and simply brings homeless people indoors to stay in temporary shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How Might it Work in California?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>California lawmakers are considering potential policies, including amending the state Constitution that would create a legally enforceable mandate to reduce the state’s massive unsheltered homeless population of more than 108,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the number one political and quality-of-life issue in our state, and yet everything we do is optional,” said Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, co-chair of the Council of Regional Homeless Advisors, a 13-member task force appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://cheac.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Homeless-TF-Letter.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a report\u003c/a> released last month, the task force urged the governor to consider legally obligating cities and counties to make progress toward housing their unsheltered residents or face a penalty. Steinberg said he personally believes that housing is a human right, but said the state will have to do something beyond a declaration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Symbolism is important. It can help drive the debate and it can help change the agenda,” he said. “But if it isn't accompanied by an actual law that makes it so, then housing might be a human right in California, but in name only.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, an effort led by Assemblywoman Autumn Burke, D-Inglewood, to adopt legislation that would mandate a right to housing for California children and families \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article239576043.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">died in committee \u003c/a>in January. Burke said she plans to reintroduce a similar bill by the end of this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their monthslong occupation of the West Oakland home, Moms 4 Housing activists effectively amplified the concept of housing as a human right, using it as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11793704/west-oakland-housing-human-right-moms4housing\">moral argument\u003c/a> for why they should be allowed to live there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after being \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11795944/moms-4-housing-members-evicted-from-oakland-home-4-arrested\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">evicted\u003c/a> by heavily armed sheriff's deputies in January, the group announced it had reached an agreement with the property owner, Wedgewood Inc., to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/01/22/798392207/moms-4-housing-celebrate-win-in-battle-over-vacant-house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">purchase the home\u003c/a> through a local land trust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But members of the group argue that saving one house is not enough; they want to use the momentum they’ve built to start a larger movement, such as changing the state Constitution to include housing as a human right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A constitutional amendment would require approval from two-thirds of both legislative houses by June 25 to be placed on the November ballot. If approved by voters, California would make history as the first state to declare housing as a human right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

It can help drive the debate and it can help change the agenda,” he said. “But if it isn't accompanied by an actual law that makes it so, then housing might be a human right in California, but in name only.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, an effort led by Assemblywoman Autumn Burke, D-Inglewood, to adopt legislation that would mandate a right to housing for California children and families \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article239576043.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">died in committee \u003c/a>in January.

A line of men and women bundled against the chill curled past the National Guard Armory’s entrance, around the side of the building and into the parking lot, about 150 in all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside, the layout looked like something provided to evacuees after a disaster: row after row of black sleeping pads, lined up edge to edge. But for the people staying here, this is not temporary shelter: Each year for the last decade, from mid-December until the funding runs out in April or May, the same group calls the concrete floor and five bathrooms home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is Orange County’s answer to its growing, highly concentrated homeless population. On this day in January, the elderly, people with disabilities and a family were let in early and picked out their sleeping mats first. A trio of men, lined up at least an hour before the shelter doors opened, trickled in with camping gear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every December, when the shelter opens, “I’m always amazed. It’s like the first day of school,” said Larry Haynes, executive director of Mercy House, the nonprofit that operates the 10,000-square foot armory shelter. “Everyone says hello like they’re old friends.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This shelter — on state land, run by a nonprofit agency — should serve as the basic model of what Gov. Gavin Newsom has called for across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Jan. 8, \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/EO-N-23-20-Homelessness-Crisis-01.08.2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newsom issued an executive order\u003c/a> that tasked state agencies with evaluating excess land for use as possible emergency homeless shelters.

The judge called the agreement between the county and homeless activists a model for the rest of the state, if not the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The peace barely lasted into the new year. Santa Ana, the county’s poorest city, \u003ca href=\"https://local.nixle.com/alert/7760866/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">filed suit in January,\u003c/a> alleging that three other Orange County cities are dropping off their homeless population at the armory in a community that already has a disproportionate amount of shelters. The county has a 400-bed shelter in downtown Santa Ana, with plans to expand it, and the city has a 200-bed shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In recent years, the city of Santa Ana has been compelled to spend millions of dollars from its general fund to address health and safety concerns attributable to the homeless population now living here,” the city said in the lawsuit. “That money would otherwise have been spent on providing core services to residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In several cities and counties contacted by CalMatters, local leaders expressed concern about the governor’s plan to open land for shelters in their jurisdictions. Some see it as ineffective and unfair — offering state land but not paying for the costs associated with a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Richmond Mayor Tom Butt\"]‘The governor’s task force on homelessness decided that cities and counties should be responsible for this. I think that’s just wrong.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The elected leaders say they’ve received little information about how the shelters will operate or who will operate them. They don’t know how people will get to and from the sites. They don’t know how neighbors might react. And they’re still unclear who will pay for it all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unlikely the governor is going to come to the city of Oceanside and say, here’s several million dollars to go build a new sobering center, or a new shelter. Just because the governor orders something doesn’t mean anything’s going to happen,” said Peter Weiss, mayor of Oceanside, in northern San Diego County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor’s goals may run into the same not-in-my-backyard resistance that faces nearly every local plan for homeless shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans identified a small piece of excess land in the Bay Area city of Richmond, next to Interstate 80, that could be an emergency shelter. But Richmond Mayor Tom Butt said he’s “not optimistic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The governor’s task force on homelessness decided that cities and counties should be responsible for this,” Butt said. “I think that’s just wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state expects to make 100 parcels available this year to governments that apply to use the sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11801334\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11801334\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41320_STATE-SHELTERS-photo-1-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Will, who provided his first name only, sits on the sidewalk across the street from LAC+USC Medical Center to panhandle for money until he has enough to go to McDonalds down the block.

But if they do, the burden of operating it falls on their own shoulders. That includes food, bedding and transportation, liability arising from fire or violence and the cost of administrators and security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Newsom administration says the excess land plan will help offset shelter costs for cities and counties — at least, those willing to seek the help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Local government has a responsibility to put their hands up and be part of the solution,” said Jason Elliott, Newsom’s senior counselor on housing and homelessness. “A good number at the county and city level are answering the call by leaning forward and embracing solutions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some state funding is available to local governments, and more is on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jason Elliott, Gov.

Of that, Newsom has made \u003ca href=\"https://www.bcsh.ca.gov/hcfc/documents/hhap_allocations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$500 million\u003c/a> available; the other $150 million will be disbursed once the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development certifies the 2019 “point in time” count of homeless people. Newsom is asking the Legislature for another $750 million in this year’s budget, some of which would go to shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The governor has made available a historic amount of resources, in addition to the money that naturally goes to cities and counties for homelessness and mental health resources,” Elliott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But opening and running a homeless shelter for even just a short time can cost millions.

Land is costly, and if the state’s willing to partner with us and provide land, I only have two words: thank you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But reducing homelessness and its associated issues, including mental health, are big challenges, said Weiss, mayor of Oceanside. Many residents have negative perceptions of homeless people because of crime, litter and frequent calls for police, so they may oppose a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weiss said he would welcome a new shelter — but not the associated costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans identified a 17-acre parcel of excess land south of State Route 76 in Oceanside, but Weiss said he doesn’t know how the city or county would pay for a shelter there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/h3/coc/pdf/2015-CoC-Application.pdf\">Richmond and Contra Costa County homeless coalition\u003c/a> will be allocated one-time funding of up to $2.7 million in emergency homeless aid from the state, along with another $2.5 million that’s available directly to the county as part of the state’s $650 million going directly to cities, counties and regional care associations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Richmond’s mayor says that’s not nearly enough when counts show his city alone has at least 400 unsheltered people at any point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re either gonna continue to put Band-Aids on it and push these people into shelters and Tuff Sheds and that, or the state is going to pay up. California’s rich enough to afford it, the United States is rich enough to afford it,” Butt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I read this thing that the problem’s gonna get pushed down to cities and counties, that’s just crazy and it makes no sense. We’re either gonna solve it or we’re gonna keep pushing it down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Whatever-It-Takes Mode\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Steinberg, Sacramento’s mayor, said the counties and regions could work together to solve the homeless crisis, but they haven’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one would ask the counties or cities to do what they can’t do, but we are in whatever-it-takes mode,” Steinberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Gore, a Sonoma County supervisor and first vice president of the California State Association of Counties, said there could be electoral consequences for officials that push forward with shelter plans. “Diving into homelessness and affordable housing is a good way for elected officials to get voted out of office in a world run by NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard),” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, Gore said the governor’s shelter plan is urgently necessary, especially since local efforts haven’t been effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would look at my colleagues who are criticizing the governor and say the time for criticism is over. There was local control, and there haven’t been results,” he said. “For cities and counties that think they don’t have enough money, they have a reckoning coming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the problem, Steinberg said, is how Californians think about the word “shelter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Shelter has been and in many ways continues to be a pejorative term,” Steinberg said. “It implies to people who are skeptics that the only kind of shelter is a long-term, dusty, mis-run facility where people are helpless without the ability to get long-term housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a stereotype and it may have been an accurate stereotype at one point. But now, when we say shelter, we’re talking about navigation centers, where the point is to gain stability to get off the streets permanently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11801333\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11801333\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41319_STATE-SHELTERS-photo-2-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Esteban Gonzalez keeps watch over a dozen shopping carts full of personal items belonging to a group of homeless individuals across the street from Los Angeles City Hall on August 7, 2019.

A line of men and women bundled against the chill curled past the National Guard Armory’s entrance, around the side of the building and into the parking lot, about 150 in all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside, the layout looked like something provided to evacuees after a disaster: row after row of black sleeping pads, lined up edge to edge. But for the people staying here, this is not temporary shelter: Each year for the last decade, from mid-December until the funding runs out in April or May, the same group calls the concrete floor and five bathrooms home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is Orange County’s answer to its growing, highly concentrated homeless population. On this day in January, the elderly, people with disabilities and a family were let in early and picked out their sleeping mats first. A trio of men, lined up at least an hour before the shelter doors opened, trickled in with camping gear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every December, when the shelter opens, “I’m always amazed. It’s like the first day of school,” said Larry Haynes, executive director of Mercy House, the nonprofit that operates the 10,000-square foot armory shelter. “Everyone says hello like they’re old friends.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This shelter — on state land, run by a nonprofit agency — should serve as the basic model of what Gov.

Santa Ana, the county’s poorest city, \u003ca href=\"https://local.nixle.com/alert/7760866/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">filed suit in January,\u003c/a> alleging that three other Orange County cities are dropping off their homeless population at the armory in a community that already has a disproportionate amount of shelters. The county has a 400-bed shelter in downtown Santa Ana, with plans to expand it, and the city has a 200-bed shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In recent years, the city of Santa Ana has been compelled to spend millions of dollars from its general fund to address health and safety concerns attributable to the homeless population now living here,” the city said in the lawsuit. “That money would otherwise have been spent on providing core services to residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In several cities and counties contacted by CalMatters, local leaders expressed concern about the governor’s plan to open land for shelters in their jurisdictions.

Land is costly, and if the state’s willing to partner with us and provide land, I only have two words: thank you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But reducing homelessness and its associated issues, including mental health, are big challenges, said Weiss, mayor of Oceanside. Many residents have negative perceptions of homeless people because of crime, litter and frequent calls for police, so they may oppose a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weiss said he would welcome a new shelter — but not the associated costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans identified a 17-acre parcel of excess land south of State Route 76 in Oceanside, but Weiss said he doesn’t know how the city or county would pay for a shelter there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/h3/coc/pdf/2015-CoC-Application.pdf\">Richmond and Contra Costa County homeless coalition\u003c/a> will be allocated one-time funding of up to $2.7 million in emergency homeless aid from the state, along with another $2.5 million that’s available directly to the county as part of the state’s $650 million going directly to cities, counties and regional care associations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Richmond’s mayor says that’s not nearly enough when counts show his city alone has at least 400 unsheltered people at any point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re either gonna continue to put Band-Aids on it and push these people into shelters and Tuff Sheds and that, or the state is going to pay up. California’s rich enough to afford it, the United States is rich enough to afford it,” Butt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I read this thing that the problem’s gonna get pushed down to cities and counties, that’s just crazy and it makes no sense.

There was local control, and there haven’t been results,” he said. “For cities and counties that think they don’t have enough money, they have a reckoning coming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the problem, Steinberg said, is how Californians think about the word “shelter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Shelter has been and in many ways continues to be a pejorative term,” Steinberg said. “It implies to people who are skeptics that the only kind of shelter is a long-term, dusty, mis-run facility where people are helpless without the ability to get long-term housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a stereotype and it may have been an accurate stereotype at one point.

This year, volunteers are counting again — joining Los Angeles, San Diego and hundreds of cities and counties nationwide that will report their homeless counts to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. These “one night count” numbers will translate to state and federal dollars aimed at alleviating the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, California’s cities and counties tallied more than 150,000 people living on the streets or in emergency shelters — a 17% uptick from the previous year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as important as that 150,000 figure is, nearly everyone involved in one-night counts acknowledges that the volunteer-led process significantly underestimates the actual number of people without a safe place to call home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we don’t use the right numbers for the homeless population, the political class are placing themselves in a situation where they are most likely going to fail,” said Christopher Weare, a UC Berkeley lecturer who researches homelessness. “They can spend billions of dollars, have very effective programs, get a lot of people housed, and we’re still going to have this very large [homeless] population.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates complain that the federal definition of homelessness is far too narrow — it excludes people who are doubled-up or couch surfing with relatives or friends, or paying for a cheap motel room. Even those living outdoors can be easily missed, especially if law enforcement has recently cleared encampments. Weare, who’s refining a more comprehensive point-in-time counting method, produced a Sacramento number nearly six times greater than the number of homeless people in the federal count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amid all the uncertainties about the accuracy of the count, one thing seems certain: California’s numbers will be big — and weaponized, politically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration used the 2019 count to assail the state’s Democratic lawmakers and Gov. Gavin Newsom for what the president described as a tremendous failure. Last month, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson singled out California no fewer than \u003ca href=\"https://www.hud.gov/press/press_releases_media_advisories/HUD_No_19_177\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nine times\u003c/a> in his press release announcing national homelessness figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it wasn’t for California and Oregon, the administration noted, the country could boast a nationwide decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every community in California is required by HUD to conduct a one-night count every other year, but some places such as Fresno and Los Angeles County opt to conduct theirs every year. The tabulations made this month will form the basis for the certified annual U.S. count that HUD will release next December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom and other California mayors and legislators will be on the hook to show improvement — but that time lag is likely to work against them, and could spell real political problems for the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the $650 million in emergency homelessness funding he approved last year won’t materialize in shelters or emergency rental assistance until well after the one-night counts are concluded. The earliest this year’s $750 million proposal could be accessed by homeless service providers would be July, and that would require a two-thirds vote of state lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technically, statewide homeless counts should only be compared every other year, as communities are required to conduct one night counts only in odd years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why the count will fall short\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Only a handful of cities and counties across California actually try to send volunteers to every corner of their jurisdiction. Most send counters only to homeless “hot spots” — places known to service providers to have lots of unhoused residents sleeping outdoors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also difficult for volunteers to identify on sight who is homeless and who isn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If someone is just walking the street at night and doesn’t have a shopping cart, they may not be recognized as homeless, when they in fact have nowhere to go,” said Weare, the UC Berkeley lecturer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And encampment cleanups pose “a huge challenge,” said Jody Ketcheside, vice chair of the Fresno-Madera Continuum of Care, who coordinates the Fresno count. “Sometimes those will happen the day before, or the day of, and people are displaced and we can’t find them again, because we do our outreach during [the week prior] to determine where the encampments are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another limitation of the one-night-count: timing.

Over 300 people signed up to count heads or conduct surveys in Fresno this year, a record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a more comprehensive count now could distort how well homelessness can be tracked over time. Ironically, more volunteers identifying more people experiencing homelessness could overstate how much homelessness has grown significantly, when perhaps it was simply undercounted in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Although a lot of us don’t like it, HUD doesn’t have another way right now,” said Doreen Eley, assisted housing manager at Fresno Housing Authority. “This is what they have, so this is what we do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How the numbers matter\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Point-in-time counts have guided much of the emergency funding state lawmakers have approved in recent years to fight homelessness — \u003ca href=\"https://bcsh.ca.gov/hcfc/documents/heap_overview.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$500 million distributed in 2018\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.bcsh.ca.gov/hcfc/documents/hhap_allocations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$650 million distributed this year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The more people counted in Los Angeles than Fresno, the larger the share Los Angeles got of that overall funding, according to Russ Heimerich, a spokesman for the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal funding is also tied to point-in-time counts, although that funding is set to maintain current local spending, according to Eley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has asked the Legislature for an additional \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article239063373.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$750 million in state emergency funds\u003c/a> for homelessness. Whether that money will also be allotted using the new point-in-time numbers remains up in the air, according to Alicia Sutton, deputy secretary for homelessness at the state Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency. But there’s no better option in sight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re all aware it’s not a perfect measure but it’s an agreed upon best measure for understanding the current scope of the problem,” Sutton said. “We’re using HUD’s system. They understand the limitations and we’re in conversations with them, but it’s really their system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is there a better way to do this?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Everybody uses these numbers as if they actually tell us something,” said Paul Boden, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"https://wraphome.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Western Regional Advocacy Project\u003c/a>. “And what they’re telling us lately is the numbers are going up, which means in reality, it’s probably 10 times worse — because they’re using a system that was artificially created to keep the numbers as low as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a more comprehensive count, Boden points to data from the U.S. Education Department. It includes kids who live doubled-up with other families and stay in motels, regardless of who funds their stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statewide, nearly 246,000 students from kindergarten through high school were homeless in 2018, according to the Department of Education’s more expansive definition. That’s nearly 100,000 more than California’s official homeless count of people of all ages last year and doesn’t include those homeless children’s parents, or children under age 5. [pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Paul Boden, executive director of the Western Regional Advocacy Project']‘Everybody uses these numbers as if they actually tell us something.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates also suggest a gaps analysis, which looks at how many people have tried to access a service and how many were accommodated in order to determine funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Fresno, where new shelter beds that opened last year fill within hours, \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article234085097.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the gap between supply and demand for homeless services is high\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The other thing that’s really hard when you do the count and surveys is, you’re counting more people than you can actually help today. That gets tough because it kind of makes our homeless population numb to the questions,” said Shawn Jenkins, vice chair of the Fresno-Madera Continuum of Care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the state’s tallies are done, the numbers will wend their way to Washington D.C., and untold tens of thousands of Californians will remain without shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been blessed by God, and Fresno police have been pretty understanding. They haven’t impounded my truck,” said one such man counted in his vehicle by Fresno volunteers, as a woman slept in the passenger seat. “You know, if they do, I’ll probably end up cuddling with that guy,” he quipped about his friend leaning on the other side of the truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I’ll probably freeze to death.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Manuela Tobias is a reporter with the Fresno Bee and Matt Levin is the housing reporter at CalMatters.

Over 300 people signed up to count heads or conduct surveys in Fresno this year, a record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a more comprehensive count now could distort how well homelessness can be tracked over time. Ironically, more volunteers identifying more people experiencing homelessness could overstate how much homelessness has grown significantly, when perhaps it was simply undercounted in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Although a lot of us don’t like it, HUD doesn’t have another way right now,” said Doreen Eley, assisted housing manager at Fresno Housing Authority. “This is what they have, so this is what we do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How the numbers matter\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Point-in-time counts have guided much of the emergency funding state lawmakers have approved in recent years to fight homelessness — \u003ca href=\"https://bcsh.ca.gov/hcfc/documents/heap_overview.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$500 million distributed in 2018\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.bcsh.ca.gov/hcfc/documents/hhap_allocations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$650 million distributed this year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The more people counted in Los Angeles than Fresno, the larger the share Los Angeles got of that overall funding, according to Russ Heimerich, a spokesman for the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal funding is also tied to point-in-time counts, although that funding is set to maintain current local spending, according to Eley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has asked the Legislature for an additional \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article239063373.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$750 million in state emergency funds\u003c/a> for homelessness. Whether that money will also be allotted using the new point-in-time numbers remains up in the air, according to Alicia Sutton, deputy secretary for homelessness at the state Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency. But there’s no better option in sight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re all aware it’s not a perfect measure but it’s an agreed upon best measure for understanding the current scope of the problem,” Sutton said. “We’re using HUD’s system. They understand the limitations and we’re in conversations with them, but it’s really their system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is there a better way to do this?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Everybody uses these numbers as if they actually tell us something,” said Paul Boden, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"https://wraphome.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Western Regional Advocacy Project\u003c/a>. “And what they’re telling us lately is the numbers are going up, which means in reality, it’s probably 10 times worse — because they’re using a system that was artificially created to keep the numbers as low as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a more comprehensive count, Boden points to data from the U.S. Education Department. It includes kids who live doubled-up with other families and stay in motels, regardless of who funds their stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statewide, nearly 246,000 students from kindergarten through high school were homeless in 2018, according to the Department of Education’s more expansive definition. That’s nearly 100,000 more than California’s official homeless count of people of all ages last year and doesn’t include those homeless children’s parents, or children under age 5. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Newsome was given four hours to collect all her belongings that were locked inside. Most of her things ended up left behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She moved into a motel with her daughters in Silicon Valley, where she worked as a technology salesperson. Eventually, she moved back in with her parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around the same time, the Occupy movement was beginning to expand beyond Wall Street, and a new movement was taking place to reclaim vacant property and homes lost to the foreclosure crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsome heard about it and got in touch with local organizers, which included \u003ca href=\"https://occupyoakland.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Occupy Oakland\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.acceaction.org/oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oakland ACCE\u003c/a>, the group that has been working recently with Moms 4 Housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she made a decision: She was going to do whatever it took to move back in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I said I've got to take that risk because I've gotta get my house back,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The occupation took months. Most nights Newsome slept on the floor in a sleeping bag alongside her two older daughters. The constant battle with law enforcement took its toll. Newsome ended up having to take time off work because of stress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar to Moms 4 Housing, the movement around Newsome’s home swelled with supporters, eager to act as eviction defense when the sheriff showed up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whenever anybody — a mayor, law enforcement, homeowner's association — if anybody like that showed up, somebody hit the phone tree,” she said. “And there was like a human barrier.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And organizers began to take on the banks. For two hours, they shut down the branch of Chase Bank in downtown Oakland where Newsome had her mortgage. Activists flew to San Diego to protest outside the office of Residential Capital Mortgage Income Fund, the second lender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsome made her own personal plea to the CEO of that lender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I put it all in a letter to him to explain my total situation,” Newsome said. “And when I wrote him the personal letter, they took the second loan off basically.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She eventually got the deed back and is once again the rightful owner of her house. But she said the fight was bigger than just her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is for my entire West Oakland community,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"moms-4-housing\" label=\"Moms 4 housing\"]Newsome pointed out other homes on her block that neighbors have lost to foreclosure, many of them in the same complex she lives in. Sometimes she doesn’t even realize it's happened until they're gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People who used to live in Oakland, they can't afford to even rent on this block,” let alone be a homeowner, Newsome said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As gentrification has crossed the bay, Newsome has seen her black and brown neighbors priced out of a changing Oakland. Her own house increased in value by more than four times its original sale price. It’s now estimated on Zillow to be worth just under $700,000. Most of the other homes on her block are going for even more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a million-dollar block now,\" Newsome said. \"And that's what's going on in this community. That's what's going on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsome has been following the Moms 4 Housing story closely. Earlier this month, she met the moms shortly before they were evicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said while their stories aren't identical, they strike a similar chord. They’re stories of the trauma and pain of eviction, of seeing your hometown change and witnessing how close you can be to living on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So people like myself, people like Moms 4 Housing, that's that voice,\" she said. \"Those people finally have a voice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A voice, Newsome said, for people who are still fighting every day to stay in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Newsome was given four hours to collect all her belongings that were locked inside. Most of her things ended up left behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She moved into a motel with her daughters in Silicon Valley, where she worked as a technology salesperson. Eventually, she moved back in with her parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around the same time, the Occupy movement was beginning to expand beyond Wall Street, and a new movement was taking place to reclaim vacant property and homes lost to the foreclosure crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsome heard about it and got in touch with local organizers, which included \u003ca href=\"https://occupyoakland.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Occupy Oakland\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.acceaction.org/oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oakland ACCE\u003c/a>, the group that has been working recently with Moms 4 Housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she made a decision: She was going to do whatever it took to move back in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I said I've got to take that risk because I've gotta get my house back,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The occupation took months.

Newsome ended up having to take time off work because of stress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar to Moms 4 Housing, the movement around Newsome’s home swelled with supporters, eager to act as eviction defense when the sheriff showed up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whenever anybody — a mayor, law enforcement, homeowner's association — if anybody like that showed up, somebody hit the phone tree,” she said. “And there was like a human barrier.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And organizers began to take on the banks. For two hours, they shut down the branch of Chase Bank in downtown Oakland where Newsome had her mortgage.
