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.",

Sometimes she stayed with friends. On the worst nights, she slept in a friend’s car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was hard for Morales, but harder for her two small children, who had to adapt with each move, only to be uprooted again soon after. Her son, who is now 4, angered easily. He didn’t want to play with his 2-year-old sister and he refused to eat most of the food at the shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Tina Fleeton, a counselor with the BANANAS child care referral agency\"]‘It was so special to me because I just saw how the child completely found something he was motivated in doing,”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That all changed when he started attending Head Start, a federally subsidized preschool program for low-income children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When he started going to school, he was more energetic. He relaxed; he was more patient with his sister and he started eating a little better. He would come home happy, singing and skipping,” Morales said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morales found the preschool for her son and home-based child care for her daughter with the assistance of a San Francisco County program that helps homeless families in finding and enrolling in subsidized child care. San Francisco and Alameda are two California counties that have set up comprehensive programs in recent years specifically for homeless families. The programs support families throughout the entire process, from filling out paperwork to getting required immunizations and visiting different programs to decide what is the best fit for their child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other counties have programs to help all low-income families apply for child care, but most do not have services tailored to help homeless families navigate the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preschool and child care can be crucial services for homeless children as they provide stability and a good foundation for learning. When a child experiences homelessness as an infant or toddler, it can cause delays in early development and make them more likely to struggle when they reach elementary school, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.air.org/sites/default/files/downloads/report/Americas-Youngest-Outcasts-Child-Homelessness-Nov2014.pdf\">report by the National Center on Family Homelessness.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 240,000 California \u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/rschstat/eval/disadv/homeless/early-childhood-homelessness-state-profiles.pdf\">children under age 6\u003c/a>, about 8% of that age group statewide, experienced homelessness in 2015-16, according to the most recent estimate by the U.S. Department of Education. The department defines children as homeless if they live in a temporary shelter or place not designed to be lived in, like a car or a tent, or if their families are sharing housing with other families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most homeless families are eligible for federal or state-subsidized child care programs and in some cities there are nonprofit child care centers designed to serve homeless children, but families are often unaware of them. Even when they are aware, they may have trouble getting through all the paperwork or attending all the appointments they might need in order to enroll their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If families are not able to enroll in federal or state-subsidized programs because there is no room, San Francisco has a program that pays for child care for low-income families; homeless families are prioritized. Alameda County also has a voucher program just for homeless families who cannot find other child care subsidies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the goals of programs like those in San Francisco and Alameda counties is to help homeless parents like Morales get jobs and housing. Without child care, they often have to take their children along with them to turn in applications for apartments and jobs and attend appointments with case managers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would have to get the children up really early and take them with me, from one appointment to another, and sometimes not even eat in between back-to-back appointments,” Morales said. “The kids would get tired of just sitting in one place, and after awhile, they would start saying, ‘I want to go, I want to play, I’m hungry.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"student-homelessness\"]San Francisco has had a program to help homeless families find child care for more than a decade. It is run through the nonprofit Compass Family Services, which also operates one of several centers in the city where homeless people can go to look for shelter or other services. Last year, the organization helped place 315 children in child care. Case managers help homeless families fill out the city’s online application, which automatically matches families with subsidized child care programs in neighborhoods that are convenient for them. Compass also holds child care workshops once a week to explain different options for child care in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent afternoon, case manager Marisol Zepeda helped a mother fill out her online application as her 1-year-old boy played with toys. The mother explained that she, her husband, her two children and her mother were all sharing one bedroom in an apartment with nine other people. Zepeda helped her choose which kind of child care she wanted and which neighborhoods she would be open to and then explained to her that she would get a notification on her cell phone whenever an opening comes up. Parents can choose to accept a spot and call the provider to make arrangements, or they can choose to reject a spot if it does not fit their needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After filling out the application, Zepeda follows up regularly with families until they find care, helping them communicate with child care providers, if needed, and even accompanying parents like Morales as they visit child care centers or family child care homes to help them decide if it is a good fit for their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11792561\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11792561\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Preschool graduates at Compass Children’s Center in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Compass Family Services)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Reaching and following up with homeless families can be difficult. San Francisco has tried to meet that challenge by reducing the amount of paperwork parents have to sign, meeting them at shelters or wherever is best for them and offering on-site child care during appointments. It also helps that Compass Family Services offers other services. Many families come in looking for housing and then find out about the child care enrollment help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It needs to be accessible, it needs to be low barrier, with few hoops to jump through,” said Teresa Sal, director of case management at Compass. “From five years ago to now, we’ve done a lot to make it easier for families to get child care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County’s program, which started in May 2018 and is run through the nonprofit child care referral organization BANANAS, is much smaller than San Francisco’s. The program has helped 58 homeless children enroll in child care so far. The staff person in charge of working with homeless families, Tina Fleeton, says she has reached out to many more, but about 40 percent of families referred to BANANAS by shelters or other organizations never returned calls or did not show up to appointments. Fleeton has a greater success rate after families meet her and are able to build some trust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One little boy stands out for Fleeton. When she met with his mother for the first time, he explored the BANANAS play lab, an area set up for children. The boy started out unsure of what to do — he threw the blocks and banged on the musical instruments. But then, he found the play kitchen area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He got out play dishes, set the table, pretended to wash his hands and then sat at the table, folding his hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh look, he found something he liked,” Fleeton said to his mother.

He relaxed; he was more patient with his sister and he started eating a little better. He would come home happy, singing and skipping,” Morales said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morales found the preschool for her son and home-based child care for her daughter with the assistance of a San Francisco County program that helps homeless families in finding and enrolling in subsidized child care. San Francisco and Alameda are two California counties that have set up comprehensive programs in recent years specifically for homeless families. The programs support families throughout the entire process, from filling out paperwork to getting required immunizations and visiting different programs to decide what is the best fit for their child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other counties have programs to help all low-income families apply for child care, but most do not have services tailored to help homeless families navigate the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preschool and child care can be crucial services for homeless children as they provide stability and a good foundation for learning. When a child experiences homelessness as an infant or toddler, it can cause delays in early development and make them more likely to struggle when they reach elementary school, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.air.org/sites/default/files/downloads/report/Americas-Youngest-Outcasts-Child-Homelessness-Nov2014.pdf\">report by the National Center on Family Homelessness.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 240,000 California \u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/rschstat/eval/disadv/homeless/early-childhood-homelessness-state-profiles.pdf\">children under age 6\u003c/a>, about 8% of that age group statewide, experienced homelessness in 2015-16, according to the most recent estimate by the U.S. Department of Education. The department defines children as homeless if they live in a temporary shelter or place not designed to be lived in, like a car or a tent, or if their families are sharing housing with other families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most homeless families are eligible for federal or state-subsidized child care programs and in some cities there are nonprofit child care centers designed to serve homeless children, but families are often unaware of them. Even when they are aware, they may have trouble getting through all the paperwork or attending all the appointments they might need in order to enroll their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If families are not able to enroll in federal or state-subsidized programs because there is no room, San Francisco has a program that pays for child care for low-income families; homeless families are prioritized. Alameda County also has a voucher program just for homeless families who cannot find other child care subsidies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the goals of programs like those in San Francisco and Alameda counties is to help homeless parents like Morales get jobs and housing. Without child care, they often have to take their children along with them to turn in applications for apartments and jobs and attend appointments with case managers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would have to get the children up really early and take them with me, from one appointment to another, and sometimes not even eat in between back-to-back appointments,” Morales said. “The kids would get tired of just sitting in one place, and after awhile, they would start saying, ‘I want to go, I want to play, I’m hungry.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It is run through the nonprofit Compass Family Services, which also operates one of several centers in the city where homeless people can go to look for shelter or other services. Last year, the organization helped place 315 children in child care. Case managers help homeless families fill out the city’s online application, which automatically matches families with subsidized child care programs in neighborhoods that are convenient for them. Compass also holds child care workshops once a week to explain different options for child care in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent afternoon, case manager Marisol Zepeda helped a mother fill out her online application as her 1-year-old boy played with toys. The mother explained that she, her husband, her two children and her mother were all sharing one bedroom in an apartment with nine other people. Zepeda helped her choose which kind of child care she wanted and which neighborhoods she would be open to and then explained to her that she would get a notification on her cell phone whenever an opening comes up. Parents can choose to accept a spot and call the provider to make arrangements, or they can choose to reject a spot if it does not fit their needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After filling out the application, Zepeda follows up regularly with families until they find care, helping them communicate with child care providers, if needed, and even accompanying parents like Morales as they visit child care centers or family child care homes to help them decide if it is a good fit for their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11792561\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11792561\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Preschool graduates at Compass Children’s Center in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Compass Family Services)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Reaching and following up with homeless families can be difficult. San Francisco has tried to meet that challenge by reducing the amount of paperwork parents have to sign, meeting them at shelters or wherever is best for them and offering on-site child care during appointments. It also helps that Compass Family Services offers other services. Many families come in looking for housing and then find out about the child care enrollment help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It needs to be accessible, it needs to be low barrier, with few hoops to jump through,” said Teresa Sal, director of case management at Compass. “From five years ago to now, we’ve done a lot to make it easier for families to get child care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County’s program, which started in May 2018 and is run through the nonprofit child care referral organization BANANAS, is much smaller than San Francisco’s. The program has helped 58 homeless children enroll in child care so far. The staff person in charge of working with homeless families, Tina Fleeton, says she has reached out to many more, but about 40 percent of families referred to BANANAS by shelters or other organizations never returned calls or did not show up to appointments. Fleeton has a greater success rate after families meet her and are able to build some trust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Supreme Court’s decision not to hear an appeal is considered a setback for governments in much of the West that are grappling with widespread homelessness by designing laws to regulate makeshift encampments on sidewalks and parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11777005,news_11764548']The case stems from a lawsuit filed nearly a decade ago. A handful of people sued the city of Boise for repeatedly ticketing them for violating an ordinance against sleeping outside.

Last year, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2019/04/01/15-35845.pdf\">ruled in their favor\u003c/a>. The decision said it was “cruel and unusual punishment” to enforce rules that stop homeless people from camping in public places when they have no place else to go.

She now lives in Spokane, Washington, where she had been in and out of homelessness and only recently found stable housing. Seven years ago, she and her then-partner had nowhere to live in Boise, and many nights, they had no other choice but to pitch a tent in a wooded area along the river.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was like, ‘I just need somewhere to lay my head overnight,’ and it’s not like we left camp up,” she said. “We always packed up and we always kept it clean.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though she says she tried to keep herself hidden, police issued her more than a dozen tickets. Like most people living on the streets, Hawkes didn’t have steady work and couldn’t pay the fines. So she ended up in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d never been in jail a whole day and night before,” she said. “It was terrifying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boise has hired a high-powered Los Angeles-based law firm to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. Dozens of other municipalities and organizations, ranging from the downtown L.A. YMCA to a group of California counties, have filed amicus briefs in support of the review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the fight over how to deal with the ever-growing homelessness crisis — most acutely visible in places such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle — is dividing cities, neighborhoods and political parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a deciding factor in the unusually heated Boise mayoral race between two Democrats this past fall. Like many western cities, Boise is in the midst of an extraordinary affordable housing shortage. It’s also one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation, a source of tension in some corners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The message that prevailed was city council president Lauren McLean’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The part that is missed all too often is the importance of prevention, if we want to prevent camps, we have to prevent homelessness,” she said during a forum at at a local homeless shelter. “We’ve got to address the affordability crisis in the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a divisive runoff earlier this month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.boisestatepublicradio.org/post/runoff-election-results-2019-mclean-wins-boise-mayor-race-mcgee-takes-caldwell-city-council\">McLean handily beat the city’s longest-serving mayor\u003c/a>, Dave Bieter. He took heat for the city spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to appeal a case, money that some argued should be going to housing and more support services for the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bieter warned that the famously pleasant and livable city of Boise can remain that way only if it has the ability to issue some tickets to stop the spread of tent cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m really concerned when I see Seattle or Portland or San Francisco, I go there and I see a city that’s overwhelmed by the problem,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11791457\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2019/12/16/supreme-court-wont-hear-case-to-ticket-homeless-for-sleeping-in-public-spaces/san-francisco-like-many-places-across-the-west-face-a-growing-homelessness-crisis/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11791457\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11791457\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1920x1439.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco, like many places across the West, face a growing homelessness crisis. \u003ccite>(Jeff Chiu/AP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In cities like those, and in Los Angeles, the homelessness crisis is far more eye-opening than in Boise.

He wants clarity. Does Los Angeles have the right to intervene if someone, for example, refuses to take an available shelter bed even if the city doesn’t have beds for everyone? Is the city required to do burdensome nightly counts of the homeless population as compared with the number of shelter beds available?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to assure that there are rules that everybody can live by, so that all our public spaces that are shared by everybody can be safe for everybody,” he said. “Occasionally that is going to require some level of enforcement, and sometimes a level of enforcement is going to pertain to people who are homeless, not because of their status of being homeless, but because of conduct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is nowhere near the number of shelter beds or temporary and permanent housing for the people who need it, Feuer said. But as the city works to solve the crisis, it also needs tools to keep Los Angeles safe. Business owners, housed residents, homeless people and advocates are frustrated with the growing encampments, garbage, human feces and used needles. This is all increasing as the city spends more on tackling the homelessness crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, voters passed \u003ca href=\"https://hcidla.lacity.org/prop-hhh\">Proposition HHH\u003c/a>, a $1.2 billion affordable housing bond program to build 10,000 supportive housing units for the chronically homeless in Los Angeles.

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.

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",

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

The guns and drugs were dumped in our neighborhoods and that’s when all hell broke loose.

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