"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

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.",

The reality show built them a 128-square-foot house on wheels, an upgrade after living out of the trunk of Justin’s car. Their nomadic way of life is a choice: For these two, home has always been the backcountry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As public school teachers, Justin and Melissa’s housing options were somewhat limited. But while they could have afforded something bigger, they saw their tiny house as an extension of their anti-materialist ethos. They parked their house in a trailer park in Folsom, near Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just want to travel and explore, and we have, like, a fear of locking down to a mortgage,” said Melissa. “It's really nice not to have that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That all began to change when Melissa learned she was pregnant. The couple was determined to raise their kid in the tiny house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11791193\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11791193\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/5.2-800x607.jpg\" alt=\"Melissa and Justin Smith live in a 128-square-foot tiny home in Folsom, CA.\" width=\"800\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/5.2-800x607.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/5.2-160x121.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/5.2-1020x773.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/5.2-1200x910.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/5.2.jpg 1873w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Melissa and Justin Smith live in a 128-square-foot tiny home in Folsom, CA. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Justin and Melissa Smith)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Had they prepared? Kinda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the making of the tiny house we were just like, ‘Oh, we’ll just figure that out when it comes,’ ” said Justin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justin began converting a shoe rack into a diaper-changing station. They freed up some space in the kitchen to make natural baby food. And the couple planned on using cloth diapers – and washing the diapers themselves – in the same washer-dryer that they use for their own clothes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re thinking this plan is impractical, you’re not alone. All of our mutual friends had opinions. Depending on who you asked, Justin and Melissa were either planning a back-to-the-land tree-hugger paradise or a claustrophobic nightmare, with little baby Tarzan swinging around on a rope made from cloth diapers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fred Dreier, a college friend of Justin, has a theory: With all that time spent living in cars and tents and the tiny house, Justin and Melissa have adapted communication tools that many other couples don’t have. For one, they talk constantly, because they don’t have a TV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If any couple could make it work in a tiny house with a baby, it’s Justin and Melissa,” said Dreier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every night, Justin and Melissa play a game they call “Happy Silly Sad.” They recount the day’s highs, lows and silliest moments. Melissa usually starts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hey Justin, what was your happy silly sad today?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"tiny-homes\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That game should come in handy in the coming months, Dreier said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having a baby is going to produce a lot of happy silly sad moments,” he said. “The fact that Justin and Melissa already have these skills for communicating shows me that they’re going to be able to get through it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The challenges of parenthood began mounting during labor and delivery. Melissa’s labor lasted five days before the baby was born in March this year. She remembered bawling in front of her family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was like, ‘I can't do this. I can't do this.’ And they were like, ‘You've done an Ironman, you’ve run an ultra, you can do this,’ ” she said. “I'm like, ‘Yeah, the longest was 14 hours. This has been way longer.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The couple named their newborn daughter Meru after the mountain in India that many consider the world’s most challenging climb. Meru also means the center of the universe in Hindi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early on, issues with her digestion kept little Meru up all night crying. The irony of the baby’s name — both the treacherous climb and the middle of the universe — is not lost on her parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I laugh about that a lot,” said Melissa. “It's like all the challenges and yet the reward and the beauty of it all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justin added, “It’s like climbing a mountain every single day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next time I checked in, it had been four months since Meru was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melissa had recently gotten out on her own for a mountain bike ride.

For me, that’s my friends Justin Smith and Melissa Smith. The couple has hiked from Mexico to Canada, cycled through Portugal and kayaked through Norway. When they’re home, they’re either building their own furniture, running marathons or making vegan food from scratch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11791191\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11791191\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/2.2-800x763.jpg\" alt=\"Melissa Smith (L) and Justin Smith (R) on Segla Peak in Norway during a kayaking adventure\" width=\"800\" height=\"763\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/2.2-800x763.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/2.2-160x153.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/2.2-1020x973.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/2.2-1200x1144.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/2.2.jpg 1915w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Melissa Smith (L) and Justin Smith (R) on Segla Peak in Norway during a kayaking adventure \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Justin and Melissa Smith)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That intrepid lifestyle got Justin and Melissa onto the television show “Tiny House Nation” in 2015. The reality show built them a 128-square-foot house on wheels, an upgrade after living out of the trunk of Justin’s car. Their nomadic way of life is a choice: For these two, home has always been the backcountry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As public school teachers, Justin and Melissa’s housing options were somewhat limited. But while they could have afforded something bigger, they saw their tiny house as an extension of their anti-materialist ethos. They parked their house in a trailer park in Folsom, near Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just want to travel and explore, and we have, like, a fear of locking down to a mortgage,” said Melissa. “It's really nice not to have that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That all began to change when Melissa learned she was pregnant. The couple was determined to raise their kid in the tiny house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11791193\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11791193\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/5.2-800x607.jpg\" alt=\"Melissa and Justin Smith live in a 128-square-foot tiny home in Folsom, CA.\" width=\"800\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/5.2-800x607.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/5.2-160x121.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/5.2-1020x773.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/5.2-1200x910.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/5.2.jpg 1873w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Melissa and Justin Smith live in a 128-square-foot tiny home in Folsom, CA. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Justin and Melissa Smith)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Had they prepared? Kinda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the making of the tiny house we were just like, ‘Oh, we’ll just figure that out when it comes,’ ” said Justin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justin began converting a shoe rack into a diaper-changing station. They freed up some space in the kitchen to make natural baby food. And the couple planned on using cloth diapers – and washing the diapers themselves – in the same washer-dryer that they use for their own clothes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re thinking this plan is impractical, you’re not alone. All of our mutual friends had opinions. Depending on who you asked, Justin and Melissa were either planning a back-to-the-land tree-hugger paradise or a claustrophobic nightmare, with little baby Tarzan swinging around on a rope made from cloth diapers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fred Dreier, a college friend of Justin, has a theory: With all that time spent living in cars and tents and the tiny house, Justin and Melissa have adapted communication tools that many other couples don’t have. For one, they talk constantly, because they don’t have a TV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If any couple could make it work in a tiny house with a baby, it’s Justin and Melissa,” said Dreier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every night, Justin and Melissa play a game they call “Happy Silly Sad.” They recount the day’s highs, lows and silliest moments. Melissa usually starts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hey Justin, what was your happy silly sad today?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Melissa’s labor lasted five days before the baby was born in March this year. She remembered bawling in front of her family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was like, ‘I can't do this. I can't do this.’ And they were like, ‘You've done an Ironman, you’ve run an ultra, you can do this,’ ” she said. “I'm like, ‘Yeah, the longest was 14 hours. This has been way longer.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The couple named their newborn daughter Meru after the mountain in India that many consider the world’s most challenging climb. Meru also means the center of the universe in Hindi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early on, issues with her digestion kept little Meru up all night crying. The irony of the baby’s name — both the treacherous climb and the middle of the universe — is not lost on her parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I laugh about that a lot,” said Melissa. “It's like all the challenges and yet the reward and the beauty of it all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justin added, “It’s like climbing a mountain every single day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Not being able to create new music feeds impostor syndrome, which can leave Thompson feeling aimless and inadequate.

Last year, Blank’s long-term relationship ended, and his intense grief caused his creative drive to dwindle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that time, Blank was working on his podcast \u003ca href=\"https://www.mroliverblank.com/art-index/the-one-who-got-away\">\u003cem>The One Who Got Away\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, which intimately depicts the lingering grief that travels with loss. For the podcast, Blank invited people from all over the world to call a phone number and leave a message for a lost loved one, or forgotten romance, answering just one question: “What would you say to the one who got away?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hearing other people’s grief-stricken stories amplified Blank’s suffering, which only intensified his sadness. “I didn’t want to die or to hurt myself, but I wanted to go to sleep for a very long time,” the artist explains. [aside postid='arts_13861452']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concerned friends encouraged Blank to talk to a therapist. He reached out for professional help, but initially, no one reached back. “The biggest issue was finding a therapist who would return my call,” says Blank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many people, navigating the mental healthcare system can be puzzling. Firstly, even with health coverage, high-deductible insurance plans require people to pay upfront for medical expenses, including psychotherapy, which can be costly. In the Bay Area, the economic boost brought on by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/stateofhealth/23916/bay-area-boom-driving-up-cost-of-therapy\">tech boom\u003c/a> has driven up the cost of rent, food and psychotherapy. As a result, therapy can cost anywhere between 140 and 300 dollars per session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More affordable options are available, but finding the right type of help isn’t always straight forward. Websites like \u003ca href=\"https://www.betterhelp.com/helpme/?utm_source=AdWords&utm_medium=Search_PPC_c&utm_term=better%2Bhelp_e&utm_content=13899929650&network=g&placement=&target=&matchtype=e&utm_campaign=177007450&ad_type=text&adposition=1t1&gclid=CjwKCAjwlovtBRBrEiwAG3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Better Help\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://lp.talkspace.com/try?utm_source=google&utm_medium=sembrand&utm_campaign=SEARCH_GOOGLE_BRAND&utm_content=apply65&utm_term=talkspace&gclid=CjwKCAjwlovtBRBrEiwAG3XJ-6Uy8h5LQ-0XOeo4by1B5Hv1x5qjWf2Hn4ZnJ6sUB-BxoLTnlLf74RoCOV8QAvD_BwE\">Talkspace\u003c/a> offer counseling online. While convenient, talking to a therapist online may not be ideal for people with acute mental health symptoms, such as panic attacks, thoughts of self-harm and severe depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those seeking in-person mental health care, the non-profit organization \u003ca href=\"https://openpathcollective.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Path Psychotherapy Collective\u003c/a> provides affordable counseling services, and its fees range from 30 to 60 dollars per session. According to the website, over 300 therapists in the Bay Area provide mental health services through the Open Path network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Psychotherapy training clinics staffed by graduate students and recent graduates also provide accessible care. For instance, in San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ciis.edu/counseling-and-acupuncture-clinics/center-for-somatic-psychotherapy\">Center for Somatic Psychotherapy (CSP)\u003c/a> offers sliding-scale psychotherapy services seven days a week, and therapy is provided by graduate students and recent graduates from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to offering traditional talk therapy, CSP therapists promote self-awareness and stress reduction by helping clients connect with the mind, body and spirit, says Steuart Gold, the CSP clinic director. “Somatic therapy encourages accessing the wisdom of the body and creates conditions where one’s creative self can live its fullest expression,” he explains. With this focus, Gold says musicians and artists often benefit from somatic psychotherapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though it took many phone calls, Blank eventually found a therapist. “My therapist diagnosed me with depression and told me I was experiencing suicidal ideation,” he shares. Receiving a diagnosis helped Blank understand the nature of his pain, which aided in the healing process. “I immediately felt relief,” he shares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, Santillano and Thompson find emotional support by talking to their peers. Still, Thompson hopes to speak to a therapist in the near future, “I believe therapy can help me pinpoint things that I haven’t been able to put together for myself,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He reached out for professional help, but initially, no one reached back. “The biggest issue was finding a therapist who would return my call,” says Blank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many people, navigating the mental healthcare system can be puzzling. Firstly, even with health coverage, high-deductible insurance plans require people to pay upfront for medical expenses, including psychotherapy, which can be costly. In the Bay Area, the economic boost brought on by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/stateofhealth/23916/bay-area-boom-driving-up-cost-of-therapy\">tech boom\u003c/a> has driven up the cost of rent, food and psychotherapy. As a result, therapy can cost anywhere between 140 and 300 dollars per session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More affordable options are available, but finding the right type of help isn’t always straight forward. Websites like \u003ca href=\"https://www.betterhelp.com/helpme/?utm_source=AdWords&utm_medium=Search_PPC_c&utm_term=better%2Bhelp_e&utm_content=13899929650&network=g&placement=&target=&matchtype=e&utm_campaign=177007450&ad_type=text&adposition=1t1&gclid=CjwKCAjwlovtBRBrEiwAG3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Better Help\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://lp.talkspace.com/try?utm_source=google&utm_medium=sembrand&utm_campaign=SEARCH_GOOGLE_BRAND&utm_content=apply65&utm_term=talkspace&gclid=CjwKCAjwlovtBRBrEiwAG3XJ-6Uy8h5LQ-0XOeo4by1B5Hv1x5qjWf2Hn4ZnJ6sUB-BxoLTnlLf74RoCOV8QAvD_BwE\">Talkspace\u003c/a> offer counseling online. While convenient, talking to a therapist online may not be ideal for people with acute mental health symptoms, such as panic attacks, thoughts of self-harm and severe depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those seeking in-person mental health care, the non-profit organization \u003ca href=\"https://openpathcollective.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Path Psychotherapy Collective\u003c/a> provides affordable counseling services, and its fees range from 30 to 60 dollars per session. According to the website, over 300 therapists in the Bay Area provide mental health services through the Open Path network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Psychotherapy training clinics staffed by graduate students and recent graduates also provide accessible care. For instance, in San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ciis.edu/counseling-and-acupuncture-clinics/center-for-somatic-psychotherapy\">Center for Somatic Psychotherapy (CSP)\u003c/a> offers sliding-scale psychotherapy services seven days a week, and therapy is provided by graduate students and recent graduates from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to offering traditional talk therapy, CSP therapists promote self-awareness and stress reduction by helping clients connect with the mind, body and spirit, says Steuart Gold, the CSP clinic director. “Somatic therapy encourages accessing the wisdom of the body and creates conditions where one’s creative self can live its fullest expression,” he explains. With this focus, Gold says musicians and artists often benefit from somatic psychotherapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though it took many phone calls, Blank eventually found a therapist. “My therapist diagnosed me with depression and told me I was experiencing suicidal ideation,” he shares. Receiving a diagnosis helped Blank understand the nature of his pain, which aided in the healing process. “I immediately felt relief,” he shares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That plan will funnel tax revenue from recently legalized marijuana sales into a reparations fund aimed at creating additional opportunities for black people in the Chicago suburb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have all these billionaires in San Francisco,” Brown said. “It looks like somebody ought to have a heart to say: ‘We are going to do what we did for the Japanese, what we did for the Jews in Germany.’ That was reparations. The same thing can be done for African Americans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NAACP wants to use the additional tax revenue to fund new tutoring and mentoring programs and other support services for the city’s black public school students, many of whom, it says, face unique challenges to academic success, including elevated rates of depression and other mental health issues that stem from high rates of poverty and violence in their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group is also asking that taxes be used to help support former black residents of San Francisco who have been displaced because of widespread gentrification and urban renewal projects, and to fund a new housing lottery system that would give black residents preference in the city’s nonprofit, public and affordable housing developments. Additionally, the group is pushing to restore the historically black Fillmore District, in the city’s Western Addition, to the “vibrant black community” it once was by investing in new black-owned businesses and cultural institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=arts_13859508,arts_13858829 label='Related Stories']“San Francisco at that time, particularly Western Addition, was filled with families, thousands of families, that lived here and worked here and paid taxes here,” said Maddie Scott, who lost her son to gun violence in 1996. “And then the violence happened. The guns and drugs were dumped in our neighborhoods and that’s when all hell broke loose. And now here we are, 22 years later, and families now can’t even afford to live here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This local reparations effort comes amid a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/23/business/economy/reparations-slavery.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">national campaign\u003c/a> to compensate black Americans for the suffering they experienced under slavery and subsequent racial injustices. The issue has been raised during recent presidential debates, and several Democratic hopefuls, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro, have declared their support for legislation that would commission a study on reparations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco, the NAACP emphasized, is one of the wealthiest cities in the nation, and has an obligation to address its ongoing failure to provide equal opportunity to black residents, who have been forced out in droves. The group notes that African Americans today make up less than 5% of the city’s population, down from about 13% in the 1970s. And while an estimated 10% of all San Francisco residents live in poverty, that rate hovers above 30% for its black residents, according to \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.org/scorecards/safety-net/poverty-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">city figures\u003c/a> from 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reparations could help the city’s remaining black population stay here and flourish, the group said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now the numbers are so low. And it’s all by design,” said Dan Daniels Sr., coastal area director of the NAACP’s California & Hawaii State Conference. “They’ve done it through racism, through rent control, through other initiatives that have been designed, allegedly designed, to improve the quality of life for citizens of San Francisco. But it has not helped black folks. The majority of black folks that live here are on welfare and struggling and being forced out of a community that most of them grew up in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisors Hillary Ronen and Vallie Brown said they support the movement but have no plans to draft legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Additional reporting from Bay City News’ Daniel Montes\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

And while an estimated 10% of all San Francisco residents live in poverty, that rate hovers above 30% for its black residents, according to \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.org/scorecards/safety-net/poverty-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">city figures\u003c/a> from 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reparations could help the city’s remaining black population stay here and flourish, the group said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now the numbers are so low.

That finally answered questions unanswered when her mom was breezing in and out of her life. Like many kids who don’t understand what they’re looking at when they’re looking at severe mental illness, little Robin came up with a story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought that she was living the life of the rich and famous, and didn’t have time for me. That was so far from the truth,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was a sadness she learned to live with early in life. But when Burton was in her 20s, she lost her mom in a new and different way. First, her grandparents died. Then, when her mom swung through town, sometime around Christmas in 1994, and learned about their deaths, she left and didn’t come back. Ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was 23 whenever she went missing, and I’m 48 years old now,” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schizophrenia can be a debilitating disease. There’s no known cure, though medications can help. “We don’t know what it is. We don’t know what causes it.

Common symptoms include delusions, social withdrawal and an inability to cope with strong emotions. “Schizophrenia interferes with all areas of mental life. It makes it hard to think clearly. It makes people fearful, angry sometimes, and sometimes numb,” Rosenheck added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why you see so many homeless people with schizophrenia. It’s hard for other people to connect with them and stay connected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the years wore on, Burton hired a private investigator to find Cloudia, though a lot of people told her to let it go. A lot of people tell her that now. But Burton won’t give up on the hope that Cloudia is still alive, and that there might be some benefit to seeing her again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not here to judge my mom, and I’m not here to ask her any questions on why she didn’t come home, or where she’s been, because she has her own reasons. The only thing that I want to say to my mom whenever I find her is, ‘I love you.’ That means more to me than anything else in the world, is just for her to hear those three words: ‘I love you.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is, how to find her?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The First Trip to California\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Burton lives in Collinsville, Illinois. “I work at Geico. I’m an insurance agent.

But my mom’s Social Security number was used at a homeless shelter in 2013.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a homeless shelter in Santa Monica, California, roughly 2,000 miles from Collinsville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton explained, “I didn’t think a whole lot of it because I’ve been on wild goose chases before. I told a customer, just for small talk, about the phone call conversation. Unbeknownst to me, that customer went home and started Googling the Web. Two days later, he called me on the phone and he said, ‘Robin, I need your email address. There’s something I want you to look at.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a 2014 article from the Los Angeles Times, talking about the annual point-in-time count of the local homeless population. There was one photograph up top, of a homeless woman on the street. “I knew immediately that it was her. Because your eyes don’t change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton called up the L.A. Times, and the reporter put Burton in touch with the photographer, who said the photo was taken one year before the article was written.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“January 2013 in Santa Monica, California, the exact same place and area my mom’s Social Security number was used. In the same year. And that was all the confirmation I needed, ’cause I already knew it was her,” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tip was 2 years old, but she decided to chase it down anyway. She set up a Go Fund Me page to get help paying for a rental car to get to California, and for a motel room to stay in when she got there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A local \u003ca href=\"https://fox2now.com/2015/02/17/collinsville-woman-heads-to-la-to-find-her-mother-after-spotting-her-in-la-times-picture/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox News\u003c/a> outlet broadcast a set-up story the night before Burton left for L.A. By then, Burton had talked with a police officer at the LAPD, who told her Cloudia had been sighted on L.A.’s skid row. Burton told Fox, “I’m not scared of skid row. That’s not my biggest fear. My biggest fear is my mom not wanting to come back with me. Alls I know is I have to find her. I gotta let her know I love her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Lessons Learned on Skid Row\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11764385\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11764385 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS27189_GettyImages-691243686-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS27189_GettyImages-691243686-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS27189_GettyImages-691243686-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS27189_GettyImages-691243686-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS27189_GettyImages-691243686-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS27189_GettyImages-691243686-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A woman passes a wheelchair-bound homeless man on Spring Street on May 1, 2017, in Los Angeles.

There have been attempts to clear out the poverty and crime from this square mile in the heart of downtown since the 1950s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s never looked as bad as it does in modern times: a tent city of roughly 4,000 people has sprung up on these sun-baked concrete sidewalks, crawling with rats and bedbugs, reeking with the smell of human urine and feces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robin arrived in 2015 carrying a box of candy bars wrapped with her mom’s picture, but she made a critical mistake. She brought along another TV camera crew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People on the streets were not happy to see that, or her. “The very first day out there was very scary and emotional for me. I broke down crying. I had to leave. I had to leave and I had to go back to my motel and take a deep breath and re-evaluate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the motel room, Burton decided she needed to try again, in a different way. “Without the cameras, everything was so different. and it was actually the homeless that was helping me look for my mom. It was them that was telling me, ‘You know I wish I had somebody looking for me.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You could imagine Cloudia visiting a place like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.downtownwomenscenter.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Downtown Women’s Center\u003c/a>. Homeless and near-homeless women from all over Southern California come here looking for help for a range of problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We serve about 4,000 women a year and it’s very fairly infrequent that we see them reunify. It’s really probably only about five a year,” said chief program officer Erika Hartman, who betrays in her voice a certain exhaustion at the very idea of what sounds like a much desired fairy-tale ending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Robin Burton, founder of the Facebook group Missing & Homeless']‘I was very, very angry at God. How could you send me a picture after 20 years? How could I go out there and not find her? And it wasn’t until I came home and I realized I’m not alone. There are other families just like me.’[/pullquote]“Usually, at the point that they have come to skid row, they have really run out of other connections that they can turn to. Sometimes, it’s because they’ve really exhausted their relationships with people who are trying support them. Or who have set boundaries due to substance use. Lots of women report experiencing shame about homelessness,” Hartman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with help, three weeks passed with no sign of Cloudia. Some people told Burton they believed Cloudia must be dead. Whatever the case, Burton needed to go back home and get back to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That spring, Burton started a Facebook group called \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/MissingHomelessOrg/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Missing & Homeless\u003c/a>. The concept is simple: post a person’s story, with enough details and photos, in the hopes somebody in the group will recognize that missing person and help put them in touch with the family looking for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re not a piece of garbage, you know. They’re somebody’s mother. They’re somebody son.

She presses them for more information. Where, exactly, did the person go missing? Are there any distinguishing characteristics, like eye color or tattoos? Do they suffer from mental illness or addiction?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The details make it easier to find somebody, but they also emotionally engage the Facebook group members. As opposed to say, some generic post about a Jane Doe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had no idea when I started ‘Missing & Homeless’ what it was going to become, and how many followers and supporters that we were gonna have. Then we started finding people. Four years later, we have probably found 70 or 80 people,” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It turns out a lot of the group’s 63,000 members are homeless themselves, typically logging into Facebook at public libraries — in part because they don’t have any barriers precluding them from getting involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='homelessness' label='More on Homelessness']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton has had a number of frustrating conversations with health care providers and social service workers who won’t say boo about someone who friends and family are searching for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can walk into a homeless shelter or a soup kitchen and they will not tell you if they’re there. My mom could be in the same building as me and I would never even know it. It’s heartbreaking, whenever you have a family member that is missing and living homeless, the lack of help that you get because of it,” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a very big reason why most social workers and health care providers would not tell Robin if her mom was in a particular building. It’s against federal law, specifically, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/laws-regulations/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996\u003c/a>. HIPAA, as most people call it, has a provision that protects the privacy of individuals’ medical records, including the fact of a person’s presence in a facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hartman of the Downtown Women’s Center explained staff are happy to take a message and pass it on. But it’s the homeless person’s choice whether to connect. Always. In part, because they can’t presume the best about people who say they’re searching for a loved one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have women who have been trafficked or abused or exploited by family members,” Hartman said. “Many of them don’t list an emergency contact. We have women who pass and we don’t know how to find a next of kin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, many of these women have good reasons they don’t want to be found. Burton gets that. She’s also seen enough to know some people are just too far gone into the abyss of mental illness, or addiction, or both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a lady that was looking for her son that was schizophrenic, and he was found after, after five or six years, and she didn’t recognize him at first. You know, because the streets weather you. You change drastically. He didn’t recognize her either, and he said, ‘You’re not my mom.’ He’s missing again,” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, we’ve been presuming that the right homeless person has been correctly identified. Sometimes, people eager to help say they’ve seen someone they actually haven’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It happened to Burton, just weeks after she returned home from skid row that first time. A volunteer from the Downtown Women’s Center called Burton to say Cloudia was there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton bought a plane ticket. She was sitting on that plane ahead of takeoff, when she got another call saying the volunteer was mistaken. The timing was such that Burton flew to L.A. and back: an expensive, useless and emotionally painful trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, that wouldn’t stop Burton from recommending families make every effort to file missing person reports, and take all the other recommended steps. Because the wins, when they happen, are so satisfying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11764346\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11764346\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38248_Corey-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A former workmate of Corey Abernathy's asked his parents for permission to post this on the Facebook group "Missing & Homeless."

When he was homeless, Corey used to camp in the Presidio, not far from where tourists whiz by on their rented bicycles and children eat ice cream while wearing fleece jackets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just thought too much about life. I felt a lot of pressure,” Corey said. He’s 5-foot-9. About 160 pounds. Hair and beard close-cropped. His blue eyes twinkle in the sun. He looks like he’s gotten a lot of sun in recent years, but nothing that seems out of the ordinary for an athletic white man in his early 30s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corey was 28 when he decided to throw on a backpack one day and leave his parents’ home in Willits in Mendocino County. With no warning, or explanation — though there were signs when the family looks back on it — that he wasn’t happy. That he was drifting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just remember that there was like a weird amount of anxiety on me,” Abernathy said. “I always tried to make sense of everything. I put too much pressure on myself that wasn’t really there. Yeah, the way I dealt with it was just drinking a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’d struggled with anxiety since childhood. He didn’t seem to have a strong idea for a career the way his older brother had. He dropped out of Sacramento State almost as soon as he got there. He lost a job in retail, then switched to a local casino. But there, he was surrounded by alcohol, and the consequences were predictable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corey started reading about people who dropped out of society for a different kind of life. “So it wasn’t like one single moment. It was something I was thinking about for probably like a year,” he explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Corey got a DUI, something he was really ashamed about. He thought to himself, if he had no money, he wouldn’t be able to buy alcohol. And if he had nothing to worry about, he wouldn’t want to buy alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He explained, “My car got towed and I just said, ‘I’m done.’ At the time, it was a good feeling. I don’t have to deal with problems I can’t figure out anymore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But remember, he was living with his parents at the time. And when he walked out that front door, he left no note. No explanation. His mom, Cathy, is a registered nurse. His dad, Robert, is a retired custom cabinetmaker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His father recalled the day, “Got home and the house was empty. To me, it looked like he’d just walked out the door to go out for a walk. Everything was still in his room. Nothing disturbed. He just disappeared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They called the police and filed a missing person’s report. Only to discover the police in Mendocino County have a loose attitude about adults who disappear, given the local marijuana growing industry’s reliance on seasonal workers. In this business, pruning is called “trimming,” and many of the trimmers come and go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Mendocino County, Sonoma County if a adult is missing, they’re out trimming,” Cathy said. “It was October and it was trimming season. They took the report, but they weren’t doing anything with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Robert and Cathy had to start looking on their own. Corey’s friends helped. A former workmate tacking up a poster in Ukiah met a homeless person who directed them to Fort Bragg, where Robert and Cathy found Corey in a park, about six weeks after he disappeared. But Corey wouldn’t come back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wasn’t ready to see them,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Corey Abernathy, building a new life for himself in San Francisco after more than three years homeless']‘I gave everything up, you know. It was like, I don’t know if I’m ever going to have a room again. I don’t know if I’m ever going to have a relationship again. I distinctively classified myself aside from society.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert described his thinking in that moment, “As much as I wanted to grab him and throw him in the car, I knew he’d be gone again. So that was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make was to let him go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they did, and Corey kept hitchhiking, to Point Arena, Gualala and finally San Francisco — where he proceeded to bounce from sleeping rough in the Presidio to side streets and shelters, sporadically sending his parents Facebook messages from public libraries. Until he stopped doing that. The last one was in February 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt regret and guilt. I knew I was going to have to figure out a way to speak to them, and yeah, apologize,” Corey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every now and then, his parents would get a lead and take off to follow it, only to find it mistaken. Often, from somebody overcome with wishful thinking. A lot of guys on the street look like Corey. “OK, he’s here. He’s in Yuba City. He’s in Sacramento. Manteca. Denver. I mean, you name it, he was there,” Robert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weeks turned into months, and then years. Corey’s last messages came from San Francisco. So Robert and Cathy drove south repeatedly to scour the city’s Tenderloin on foot. “He could be on the next block over headed in the opposite direction, and we’d never know it. You know, there were days when we walked 25 miles,” Robert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The night before Corey left his parents’ home in Willits, Cathy started having this recurring dream — nightmare, really.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In it, she keeps getting woken up by her nephew, Bobby, who committed suicide in 2010. It’s like he was a contact from the underworld, trying to tell her something about her son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’d wake me up that, ‘We gotta get going.’ I was on the hard ground. I was cold. I wasn’t safe. I had to get moving. You know, we had to get moving,” she recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, at some point, the nightmares abruptly stopped. Cathy had two theories about what happened to Corey. “Maybe, you know, he’s getting his life together. Or he wasn’t on this earth anymore. You know, it was one of the two.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it happened, this was right around the time Corey was ready for rehab. He got involved with \u003ca href=\"https://www.aa.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alcoholics Anonymous\u003c/a>. He got into a sober living facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he didn’t reconnect with his parents. And two years passed. That’s when, early this year, one of Corey’s old workmates posted on “Missing & Homeless.” And someone Corey lives with recognized him. And told Corey. And Corey called home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Robert Abernathy, whose son went missing for more than three years']‘You see the homeless. You hear about people missing family. And that’s supposed to happen to other people. It’s not supposed to happen to you.

You know, we sat down, and he talked about why — some of the things that made him leave. And him realizing that the DUI, everybody gets one and it’s nothing to run from, but this is something he’s been thinking about, and it’s something he needed to finish. And it’s like, he’s part of our family, and as I told him, he’s going to be my son forever, no matter what. I still love him,” Robert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, Robert and Cathy come down from Willits periodically to visit Corey in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corey doesn’t have a strong answer as to why he didn’t call his parents before a prompt from the acquaintance who spotted him on “Missing & Homeless.” What Corey can say is that he was ready when he got the nudge.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Kind of Story Robin Burton Lives For\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“A lot of homeless are afraid to contact their family because they don’t know if they’re going to be turned away,” Burton said. “Some, you know, it’s just they’ve been gone for so long they don’t even know what to say to families anymore. Those are our miracle stories. There was a reason he was supposed to be found, and there was closure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The search for Cloudia morphed into something else for Burton. She’s found a mission, a purpose in life, as a guide for others in need. The story about Burton’s search for her mom has become an invitation for people to trust her. “The same people have probably heard it a thousand times. Well, now they’re coming to me for help and we’re finding their families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say there haven’t been personal wins for Burton, too. She never knew who her father was. But this summer, she found him. She was told as a kid that her mom got pregnant at 17, and had her at 18. But her grandparents didn’t know who her father was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, Burton took a DNA test and it led to Kansas and her 71- year-old dad. He doesn’t profess to remember Cloudia, but has met with Burton once already — and she’s going to Kansas soon to spend some vacation time with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton’s got a new lead for Cloudia, by the way, from someone in San Francisco who thought they saw her back in June. She would be 66 years old now. White woman, round face that’s probably slouched somewhat with age, presumed shoulder-length gray hair. Might still answer to the name of Cloudia. Or Leslie. Or Diane. Or some other name we don’t know about. Yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

That finally answered questions unanswered when her mom was breezing in and out of her life. Like many kids who don’t understand what they’re looking at when they’re looking at severe mental illness, little Robin came up with a story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought that she was living the life of the rich and famous, and didn’t have time for me. That was so far from the truth,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was a sadness she learned to live with early in life. But when Burton was in her 20s, she lost her mom in a new and different way. First, her grandparents died. Then, when her mom swung through town, sometime around Christmas in 1994, and learned about their deaths, she left and didn’t come back. Ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was 23 whenever she went missing, and I’m 48 years old now,” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schizophrenia can be a debilitating disease.

Common symptoms include delusions, social withdrawal and an inability to cope with strong emotions. “Schizophrenia interferes with all areas of mental life. It makes it hard to think clearly. It makes people fearful, angry sometimes, and sometimes numb,” Rosenheck added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why you see so many homeless people with schizophrenia. It’s hard for other people to connect with them and stay connected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the years wore on, Burton hired a private investigator to find Cloudia, though a lot of people told her to let it go. A lot of people tell her that now. But Burton won’t give up on the hope that Cloudia is still alive, and that there might be some benefit to seeing her again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not here to judge my mom, and I’m not here to ask her any questions on why she didn’t come home, or where she’s been, because she has her own reasons.

But my mom’s Social Security number was used at a homeless shelter in 2013.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a homeless shelter in Santa Monica, California, roughly 2,000 miles from Collinsville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton explained, “I didn’t think a whole lot of it because I’ve been on wild goose chases before. I told a customer, just for small talk, about the phone call conversation. Unbeknownst to me, that customer went home and started Googling the Web. Two days later, he called me on the phone and he said, ‘Robin, I need your email address. There’s something I want you to look at.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a 2014 article from the Los Angeles Times, talking about the annual point-in-time count of the local homeless population. There was one photograph up top, of a homeless woman on the street. “I knew immediately that it was her. Because your eyes don’t change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton called up the L.A. Times, and the reporter put Burton in touch with the photographer, who said the photo was taken one year before the article was written.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“January 2013 in Santa Monica, California, the exact same place and area my mom’s Social Security number was used. In the same year. And that was all the confirmation I needed, ’cause I already knew it was her,” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tip was 2 years old, but she decided to chase it down anyway. She set up a Go Fund Me page to get help paying for a rental car to get to California, and for a motel room to stay in when she got there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A local \u003ca href=\"https://fox2now.com/2015/02/17/collinsville-woman-heads-to-la-to-find-her-mother-after-spotting-her-in-la-times-picture/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox News\u003c/a> outlet broadcast a set-up story the night before Burton left for L.A. By then, Burton had talked with a police officer at the LAPD, who told her Cloudia had been sighted on L.A.’s skid row. Burton told Fox, “I’m not scared of skid row. That’s not my biggest fear. My biggest fear is my mom not wanting to come back with me. Alls I know is I have to find her.

She’s also seen enough to know some people are just too far gone into the abyss of mental illness, or addiction, or both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a lady that was looking for her son that was schizophrenic, and he was found after, after five or six years, and she didn’t recognize him at first. You know, because the streets weather you. You change drastically. He didn’t recognize her either, and he said, ‘You’re not my mom.’ He’s missing again,” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, we’ve been presuming that the right homeless person has been correctly identified. Sometimes, people eager to help say they’ve seen someone they actually haven’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It happened to Burton, just weeks after she returned home from skid row that first time. A volunteer from the Downtown Women’s Center called Burton to say Cloudia was there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton bought a plane ticket. She was sitting on that plane ahead of takeoff, when she got another call saying the volunteer was mistaken. The timing was such that Burton flew to L.A. and back: an expensive, useless and emotionally painful trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, that wouldn’t stop Burton from recommending families make every effort to file missing person reports, and take all the other recommended steps. Because the wins, when they happen, are so satisfying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11764346\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11764346\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38248_Corey-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A former workmate of Corey Abernathy's asked his parents for permission to post this on the Facebook group "Missing & Homeless."

When he was homeless, Corey used to camp in the Presidio, not far from where tourists whiz by on their rented bicycles and children eat ice cream while wearing fleece jackets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just thought too much about life. I felt a lot of pressure,” Corey said. He’s 5-foot-9. About 160 pounds. Hair and beard close-cropped. His blue eyes twinkle in the sun. He looks like he’s gotten a lot of sun in recent years, but nothing that seems out of the ordinary for an athletic white man in his early 30s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corey was 28 when he decided to throw on a backpack one day and leave his parents’ home in Willits in Mendocino County. With no warning, or explanation — though there were signs when the family looks back on it — that he wasn’t happy. That he was drifting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just remember that there was like a weird amount of anxiety on me,” Abernathy said. “I always tried to make sense of everything. I put too much pressure on myself that wasn’t really there. Yeah, the way I dealt with it was just drinking a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’d struggled with anxiety since childhood. He didn’t seem to have a strong idea for a career the way his older brother had. He dropped out of Sacramento State almost as soon as he got there. He lost a job in retail, then switched to a local casino. But there, he was surrounded by alcohol, and the consequences were predictable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corey started reading about people who dropped out of society for a different kind of life. “So it wasn’t like one single moment. It was something I was thinking about for probably like a year,” he explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Corey got a DUI, something he was really ashamed about. He thought to himself, if he had no money, he wouldn’t be able to buy alcohol. And if he had nothing to worry about, he wouldn’t want to buy alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He explained, “My car got towed and I just said, ‘I’m done.’ At the time, it was a good feeling. I don’t have to deal with problems I can’t figure out anymore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But remember, he was living with his parents at the time. And when he walked out that front door, he left no note. No explanation. His mom, Cathy, is a registered nurse. His dad, Robert, is a retired custom cabinetmaker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His father recalled the day, “Got home and the house was empty. To me, it looked like he’d just walked out the door to go out for a walk. Everything was still in his room. Nothing disturbed. He just disappeared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They called the police and filed a missing person’s report. Only to discover the police in Mendocino County have a loose attitude about adults who disappear, given the local marijuana growing industry’s reliance on seasonal workers. In this business, pruning is called “trimming,” and many of the trimmers come and go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Mendocino County, Sonoma County if a adult is missing, they’re out trimming,” Cathy said. “It was October and it was trimming season. They took the report, but they weren’t doing anything with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Robert and Cathy had to start looking on their own. Corey’s friends helped. A former workmate tacking up a poster in Ukiah met a homeless person who directed them to Fort Bragg, where Robert and Cathy found Corey in a park, about six weeks after he disappeared. But Corey wouldn’t come back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wasn’t ready to see them,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So that was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make was to let him go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they did, and Corey kept hitchhiking, to Point Arena, Gualala and finally San Francisco — where he proceeded to bounce from sleeping rough in the Presidio to side streets and shelters, sporadically sending his parents Facebook messages from public libraries. Until he stopped doing that. The last one was in February 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt regret and guilt. I knew I was going to have to figure out a way to speak to them, and yeah, apologize,” Corey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every now and then, his parents would get a lead and take off to follow it, only to find it mistaken. Often, from somebody overcome with wishful thinking. A lot of guys on the street look like Corey. “OK, he’s here. He’s in Yuba City. He’s in Sacramento. Manteca. Denver. I mean, you name it, he was there,” Robert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weeks turned into months, and then years. Corey’s last messages came from San Francisco. So Robert and Cathy drove south repeatedly to scour the city’s Tenderloin on foot. “He could be on the next block over headed in the opposite direction, and we’d never know it. You know, there were days when we walked 25 miles,” Robert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The night before Corey left his parents’ home in Willits, Cathy started having this recurring dream — nightmare, really.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In it, she keeps getting woken up by her nephew, Bobby, who committed suicide in 2010. It’s like he was a contact from the underworld, trying to tell her something about her son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’d wake me up that, ‘We gotta get going.’ I was on the hard ground. I was cold. I wasn’t safe. I had to get moving. You know, we had to get moving,” she recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, at some point, the nightmares abruptly stopped. Cathy had two theories about what happened to Corey. “Maybe, you know, he’s getting his life together. Or he wasn’t on this earth anymore. You know, it was one of the two.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it happened, this was right around the time Corey was ready for rehab. He got involved with \u003ca href=\"https://www.aa.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alcoholics Anonymous\u003c/a>. He got into a sober living facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he didn’t reconnect with his parents. And two years passed. That’s when, early this year, one of Corey’s old workmates posted on “Missing & Homeless.” And someone Corey lives with recognized him. And told Corey. And Corey called home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You know, we sat down, and he talked about why — some of the things that made him leave. And him realizing that the DUI, everybody gets one and it’s nothing to run from, but this is something he’s been thinking about, and it’s something he needed to finish. And it’s like, he’s part of our family, and as I told him, he’s going to be my son forever, no matter what. I still love him,” Robert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, Robert and Cathy come down from Willits periodically to visit Corey in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corey doesn’t have a strong answer as to why he didn’t call his parents before a prompt from the acquaintance who spotted him on “Missing & Homeless.” What Corey can say is that he was ready when he got the nudge.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Kind of Story Robin Burton Lives For\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“A lot of homeless are afraid to contact their family because they don’t know if they’re going to be turned away,” Burton said. “Some, you know, it’s just they’ve been gone for so long they don’t even know what to say to families anymore. Those are our miracle stories. There was a reason he was supposed to be found, and there was closure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The search for Cloudia morphed into something else for Burton. She’s found a mission, a purpose in life, as a guide for others in need. The story about Burton’s search for her mom has become an invitation for people to trust her. “The same people have probably heard it a thousand times. Well, now they’re coming to me for help and we’re finding their families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say there haven’t been personal wins for Burton, too. She never knew who her father was. But this summer, she found him. She was told as a kid that her mom got pregnant at 17, and had her at 18. But her grandparents didn’t know who her father was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, Burton took a DNA test and it led to Kansas and her 71- year-old dad. He doesn’t profess to remember Cloudia, but has met with Burton once already — and she’s going to Kansas soon to spend some vacation time with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton’s got a new lead for Cloudia, by the way, from someone in San Francisco who thought they saw her back in June. She would be 66 years old now. White woman, round face that’s probably slouched somewhat with age, presumed shoulder-length gray hair. Might still answer to the name of Cloudia. Or Leslie. Or Diane. Or some other name we don’t know about. Yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Those shelters and the city’s six navigation centers can accommodate nearly 3,000 people each night. Even so, Stewart-Kahn said, there is a waitlist of about 1,000 people on any given night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are more than 8,000 homeless people in San Francisco, including 5,180 people living in unsheltered in tents,\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> vehicles\u003c/span>, or on the sidewalk, according to the city’s \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.org/scorecards/safety-net/homeless-population\">point-in-time homeless count\u003c/a>, conducted in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that these expansions are [still] not meeting the need,” Stewart-Kahn said, noting that Mayor London Breed has pledged to add \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Mayor-Breed-promised-1-000-new-shelter-beds-by-14072525.php\">1,000 new shelter beds\u003c/a> by the end of 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are some beds available.
