Trees should be cut regularly so that branches are a minimum of 10 feet from other trees. Remove branches that hang over a roof and keep dead branches 10 feet away from a chimney.

The mesh should be very small and stay away from material that can melt and burn, such as fiberglass or plastic — fireproof vents are also available at your local hardware store.

Finns were flummoxed by the remark — their fire management apparently \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-partanen-finns-dont-rake-the-forest-floor-20181119-story.html\">doesn’t hinge on raking\u003c/a> — but fire officials recommend it highly for homeowners in fire-prone neighborhoods. Clearing all dead plants, leaves and pine needles from your yard will go a long way toward removing fuel for wildfires. It’s also a good idea to get up on a ladder and pull out any vegetation that may have collected in rain gutters. Gutter cleaning services will do this for a couple hundred dollars for homeowners who don’t want to do it themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Weather stripping\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Cost: $10 and up\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as you want to stop embers from blowing into vents, you should also block them from slipping through doorways. Pro tip: Don’t forget to install weather stripping around and under the garage door. This can be DIY, or homeowners can spend a few hundred dollars on a service. As a bonus, weather-stripping also helps keep down your heating and cooling bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The goat option\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Cost: About $1,000 an acre\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goats can help with vegetation management by eating tall grass or dried brush that could spread without containment. \u003ca href=\"https://goatcentral.com/\">Goat Central\u003c/a> owner Roy Austin in El Dorado has been renting goats for 20 years and said these four-legged fire mitigators can “go where machine and chemicals can’t be used.” Plus, they provide fertilization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goats tend to cost less than hand crews. The city of Laguna Beach put out a \u003ca href=\"http://www.lagunabeachcity.net/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?t=71727.78&BlobID=22875\">wildfire mitigation report\u003c/a> pegging the average cost for a crew to do hand modification at $28,000 per acre. That compares to around $1,000 per acre for a herd of goats, depending on vegetation and labor, Austin said. And the more acreage, the more likely you can negotiate a lower price (with the owner, that is, not the goats).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Act fast, though. Austin says recent demand is driving up prices. He’s commanding $1,800 per acre right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Clearing all dead plants, leaves and pine needles from your yard will go a long way toward removing fuel for wildfires. It’s also a good idea to get up on a ladder and pull out any vegetation that may have collected in rain gutters.

That compares to around $1,000 per acre for a herd of goats, depending on vegetation and labor, Austin said. And the more acreage, the more likely you can negotiate a lower price (with the owner, that is, not the goats).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Act fast, though. Austin says recent demand is driving up prices.

The race was too close to call on election night. But after four days of counting ballots, Suzy Loftus, who was appointed as interim district attorney by Mayor London Breed just weeks before the election, conceded to Boudin. Bernie Sanders congratulated Boudin on his victory, illustrating the national attention the race garnered and signifying that criminal justice reforms appear to be resonating with voters after decades of prison overcrowding and tough-on-crime initiatives.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chesa Boudin, San Francisco district attorney-elect\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Diplomats and Dueling Narratives: Televised Impeachment Hearings Begin\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, House Democrats kicked off two days of public hearings in their impeachment investigation of President Trump. On Friday, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, testified on Capitol Hill. She described the personal toll of being the target of a smear campaign led by Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, that led to her removal and that she felt threatened by the president. During her testimony, Trump tweeted disparaging remarks about her and defended her dismissal. On Wednesday, two other career diplomats, George Kent and William Taylor Jr., also appeared before the committee, describing a shadow diplomatic effort led by Giuliani to pressure Ukraine to investigate Trump’s political rivals. GOP lawmakers accused them of political bias and dismissed their accounts as hearsay. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ron Elving, senior editor and White House correspondent, NPR\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Thanksgiving\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In less than two weeks, millions of friends and family will gather at dinner tables across America for Thanksgiving. Forty-six million turkeys will be gobbled up on the big day, according to the National Turkey Federation, a trade group representing turkey farmers and processors. But this year, sides may steal the Instagram spotlight from this finicky bird that takes hours or even days, depending on whether a brine is used, to cook expertly. And in a state as big and diverse as California, some immigrant communities are finding ways to fuse this fall feast with the flavors and traditions from their homelands. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ellen Fort, food editor, Sunset Magazine\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gil Payumo, co-owner and chef, Se\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">ñor\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Sisig \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

The race was too close to call on election night. But after four days of counting ballots, Suzy Loftus, who was appointed as interim district attorney by Mayor London Breed just weeks before the election, conceded to Boudin. Bernie Sanders congratulated Boudin on his victory, illustrating the national attention the race garnered and signifying that criminal justice reforms appear to be resonating with voters after decades of prison overcrowding and tough-on-crime initiatives.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chesa Boudin, San Francisco district attorney-elect\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Diplomats and Dueling Narratives: Televised Impeachment Hearings Begin\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, House Democrats kicked off two days of public hearings in their impeachment investigation of President Trump. On Friday, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, testified on Capitol Hill. She described the personal toll of being the target of a smear campaign led by Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, that led to her removal and that she felt threatened by the president. During her testimony, Trump tweeted disparaging remarks about her and defended her dismissal. On Wednesday, two other career diplomats, George Kent and William Taylor Jr., also appeared before the committee, describing a shadow diplomatic effort led by Giuliani to pressure Ukraine to investigate Trump’s political rivals. GOP lawmakers accused them of political bias and dismissed their accounts as hearsay. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ron Elving, senior editor and White House correspondent, NPR\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Thanksgiving\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In less than two weeks, millions of friends and family will gather at dinner tables across America for Thanksgiving. Forty-six million turkeys will be gobbled up on the big day, according to the National Turkey Federation, a trade group representing turkey farmers and processors. But this year, sides may steal the Instagram spotlight from this finicky bird that takes hours or even days, depending on whether a brine is used, to cook expertly. And in a state as big and diverse as California, some immigrant communities are finding ways to fuse this fall feast with the flavors and traditions from their homelands. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>As huge swaths of California burned last fall, federal health officials descended on 20 California nursing homes to determine whether they were prepared to protect their vulnerable residents from fires, earthquakes and other disasters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Mike Connors, California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform\"]‘The fact that one of the nursing homes inspected was later destroyed by a wildfire speaks to the grave danger residents are facing today.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The results of their surprise inspections, which took place from September to December of 2018, were disturbing: Auditors found hundreds of potentially life-threatening violations of safety and emergency requirements, including blocked emergency exit doors, unsafe use of power strips and extension cords, and inadequate fuel for emergency generators, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://oig.hhs.gov/oas/reports/region9/91802009.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report\u003c/a> released Thursday by the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nursing home residents “were at increased risk of injury or death during a fire or other emergency,” the report concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The threat is not theoretical in a state that has been ravaged by natural disasters: One of the nursing homes that was inspected ended up burning down in a subsequent wildfire, so the report includes results only for the 19 remaining facilities, none of which are identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that one of the nursing homes inspected was later destroyed by a wildfire speaks to the grave danger residents are facing today,” said Mike Connors of the advocacy group California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform. He called the findings alarming but not surprising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though the report didn’t name the nursing home that was destroyed, the California Association of Health Facilities, which represents most of the state’s skilled nursing facilities, identified it as one that burned down in the Nov.ember 2018 Camp Fire, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/11/25/camp-fire-deadliest-wildfire-californias-history-has-been-contained/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">deadliest wildfire in the state’s history\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Craig Cornett, CEO and president of the association, said all the residents were evacuated safely from that home — and from \u003ca href=\"https://www.mcknights.com/news/camp-fire-destroys-three-skilled-nursing-facilities/\">two others destroyed\u003c/a> in the same fire. Hundreds of other nursing homes also have responded to emergencies in the past three years without loss of life, he said, which shows that “the deficiencies in the report do not reflect true facility readiness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association is concerned about safely violations, he added, but “this is an example of bureaucracy equipped with blinders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal inspectors said the violations occurred because of poor oversight by management and high staff turnover at the homes. But they also criticized the California Department of Public Health, the agency responsible for overseeing nursing homes in the state, for not ensuring the facilities complied with federal safety and emergency requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some cases, the state’s own inspectors had previously cited nursing homes for the same problems, but did not inspect the facilities again to ensure they had been fixed, the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department “can reduce the risk of resident injury or death by improving its oversight,” the report said. For example, it could “conduct more frequent site surveys at nursing homes to follow up on deficiencies previously cited rather than relying on reviews of documentation submitted by nursing homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"elderly\"]Officials from the state public health department told the auditors it had followed up with the 19 remaining homes to ensure they were addressing the problems identified.

He called the findings alarming but not surprising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though the report didn’t name the nursing home that was destroyed, the California Association of Health Facilities, which represents most of the state’s skilled nursing facilities, identified it as one that burned down in the Nov.ember 2018 Camp Fire, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/11/25/camp-fire-deadliest-wildfire-californias-history-has-been-contained/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">deadliest wildfire in the state’s history\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Craig Cornett, CEO and president of the association, said all the residents were evacuated safely from that home — and from \u003ca href=\"https://www.mcknights.com/news/camp-fire-destroys-three-skilled-nursing-facilities/\">two others destroyed\u003c/a> in the same fire. Hundreds of other nursing homes also have responded to emergencies in the past three years without loss of life, he said, which shows that “the deficiencies in the report do not reflect true facility readiness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association is concerned about safely violations, he added, but “this is an example of bureaucracy equipped with blinders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal inspectors said the violations occurred because of poor oversight by management and high staff turnover at the homes. But they also criticized the California Department of Public Health, the agency responsible for overseeing nursing homes in the state, for not ensuring the facilities complied with federal safety and emergency requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some cases, the state’s own inspectors had previously cited nursing homes for the same problems, but did not inspect the facilities again to ensure they had been fixed, the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department “can reduce the risk of resident injury or death by improving its oversight,” the report said. For example, it could “conduct more frequent site surveys at nursing homes to follow up on deficiencies previously cited rather than relying on reviews of documentation submitted by nursing homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Wearing a bright orange Ridge Construction T-shirt and work boots, Jon Hornback stood in the middle of a construction site in Paradise — just a foundation and wood framing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where we stand right now is in the middle of a kitchen slash dining room, living room area of a residence of a local person who lives here in town, a businessman,” Hornback said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The home was destroyed by the Camp Fire, which broke out a year ago and became the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history, killing 85.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It almost completely leveled the town of Paradise, which now faces a variety of roadblocks to recovery, from polluted drinking water to damaged septic systems. There’s also a shortage of construction workers to rebuild businesses and homes like this one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a challenge Hornback is facing as he tries to rebuild this and one other home in Paradise. Hornback says two projects are all his company, Ridge Construction, can handle, because so many laborers and tradespeople were displaced due to the fire. Some 23% of construction workers in Butte County lived in Paradise and neighboring Magalia, which was partially destroyed by the fire, according to the Chico Builders Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='camp-fire' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so, you know, they’ve not come back,” Hornback said. “And so consequently, those people that we would have had maybe some pool to pull from — your manpower, laborers, skilled tradespeople — are not here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s difficult to quantify how many construction laborers work in Butte County, said Kate Leyden, executive director of the Chico Builders Association. But she does know, anecdotally, that there was a labor shortage before the fire, when there were around only 1,000 new homes built in the whole county each year. Nearly 14,000 homes burned in the Camp Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we’re pretty sure we don’t have the right number of workers,” Leyden said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help connect contractors with workers, the Chico Builders Association is helping to build a database of tradespeople and their skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then when a general contractor is looking for a plumber, ideally he or she will be able to look up the plumbers in this directory and give him a call and see if they’re available to help,” Leyden said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some workers from Sacramento and the Bay Area have offered to come to Paradise, but Hornback said they were asking for around $80 per hour — much higher than the $50 hourly rate that’s standard in Paradise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That makes it kind of tough because you’re paying somebody an awful lot more than you normally would to do the same job, or you just struggle along with the help that you have,” Hornback said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has opted not to hire workers from out of town, because his clients and other Paradise residents can’t afford the extra cost. Before the fires, homes had a median value of about $260,000, according to the online real estate company Zillow. That’s a far cry from the median home value in the Bay Area — almost $1 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Normally, Hornback would have a crew of six people per house. But, for right now, it’s mostly him and his son-in-law, Michael Richardson, bouncing between their two projects and occasionally bringing in some extra help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill Sharrett, the homeowner, is anxious about the construction setbacks and the possibility that the project could be delayed even more if it’s not watertight by the winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11785591\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11785591\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS40169_bill-sharrett-qut-1020x765.jpg\" alt=\"Bill Sharrett stands in the living space of his new home in Paradise.

We have our mother- and father-in-law that live with us. They have a bed in the living room. We have a two-story house. They can’t go upstairs. So it’s a tough condition to be in. And the sooner we get up here, the better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Richardson was optimistic, despite the challenges of having only a two-person crew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s frustrating, but it always works out,” Richardson said. “The Buzzards, the first house that we started, they want to move in by Christmas. We’re two guys,” said Richardson, pausing to laugh, “but we’re gonna try our hardest to make it happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>When the Camp Fire swept through Paradise, Magalia and Concow last November, killing 85 and destroying almost 14,000 homes, it displaced some 52,000 people. And while some of them were able to quickly find solace on friends’ couches or in motel rooms, others were forced to seek shelter elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And with a norovirus outbreak at the Red Cross shelter, many chose what they considered the lesser of two evils: camping at a Walmart parking lot in Chico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation was untenable. While the camping may have started as a last resort for fire survivors, other homeless residents from Butte County began camping there as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, on Nov. 29, 2018, the Walmart Foundation \u003ca href=\"https://corporate.walmart.com/newsroom/2018/11/29/walmart-and-the-walmart-foundation-increase-commitment-to-california-wildfire-relief-and-announce-funding-for-homeless-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">committed $1 million\u003c/a> to “help address the increased needs of the local homeless population affected by the Camp Fire” and to establish a year-round, low-barrier homeless shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the shelter was never built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many residents were conflicted over the proposed shelter. Part of the problem was that, because the real estate market is so tight in Chico, the chosen shelter location ended up being a few blocks away from an elementary school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backlash was \u003ca href=\"https://krcrtv.com/news/butte-county/citizens-react-to-low-barrier-shelter-proposed-in-chico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">heated\u003c/a>. A petition opposing the shelter gained nearly 5,000 signatures, and during a lengthy public comment period at a Chico City Council \u003ca href=\"http://chico-ca.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=832\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meeting in early April\u003c/a>, dozens of residents expressed their concerns over the placement of the shelter. One resident said the shelter had “no business” in their school neighborhoods, arguing that organizers should be prioritizing “public safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The location sucks, the plan sucks, the impact sucks,” Chico resident Rob Berry said during public comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"camp-fire\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, one of the service providers key to the project — the Jesus Center — dropped out due to the backlash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local stakeholders said that Walmart later dropped out of the project as well, though the company would not return a request for comment. And, at the end of the day, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/05/24/nvcf-returns-1-million-camp-fire-donation-to-walmart-foundation/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the funding was returned\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a council member call and say, ‘What are we supposed to do? There’s people everywhere,’ ” said Laura Cootsona, executive director of the Jesus Center. “This was our big idea, and we had a big break because we had a funder that we don’t normally have and we’re not going to have again. I think that’s the part that’s just so sad to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Chaos at the Continuum of Care\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In her first year in a new position, Jennifer Griggs was having a hard time making her job work. Griggs had been hired as the Homeless Continuum of Care coordinator in Butte County the winter before the 2018 Camp Fire hit. It was \u003ca href=\"https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/coc/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her job\u003c/a> to help connect homeless service providers with state and federal funding, conduct the biennial point-in-time homeless count and support rehousing efforts for the ballooning homeless population across Butte County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.buttehomelesscoc.com/uploads/1/1/7/5/117500423/final_2019_point_in_time_executive_summary_report_published_on_june_17_2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">homeless count\u003c/a> was conducted on a single day in March, just five months after the Camp Fire. That tally identified 2,304 sheltered and unsheltered homeless people in Butte County, many of whom were directly impacted by the fire. That’s a 16% increase since 2017. But the report acknowledged that the results were likely an undercount “due to ongoing challenges in locating homeless individuals, especially those that are displaced and unhoused due to the Camp Fire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, Griggs left the job — and the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Griggs cited many reasons for leaving. For one, while her home didn’t burn during the fire, it was damaged during subsequent floods — resulting in the loss of most of her belongings.

And while some of them were able to quickly find solace on friends’ couches or in motel rooms, others were forced to seek shelter elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And with a norovirus outbreak at the Red Cross shelter, many chose what they considered the lesser of two evils: camping at a Walmart parking lot in Chico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation was untenable. While the camping may have started as a last resort for fire survivors, other homeless residents from Butte County began camping there as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, on Nov. 29, 2018, the Walmart Foundation \u003ca href=\"https://corporate.walmart.com/newsroom/2018/11/29/walmart-and-the-walmart-foundation-increase-commitment-to-california-wildfire-relief-and-announce-funding-for-homeless-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">committed $1 million\u003c/a> to “help address the increased needs of the local homeless population affected by the Camp Fire” and to establish a year-round, low-barrier homeless shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the shelter was never built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And, at the end of the day, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/05/24/nvcf-returns-1-million-camp-fire-donation-to-walmart-foundation/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the funding was returned\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a council member call and say, ‘What are we supposed to do? There’s people everywhere,’ ” said Laura Cootsona, executive director of the Jesus Center. “This was our big idea, and we had a big break because we had a funder that we don’t normally have and we’re not going to have again.

Griggs had been hired as the Homeless Continuum of Care coordinator in Butte County the winter before the 2018 Camp Fire hit. It was \u003ca href=\"https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/coc/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her job\u003c/a> to help connect homeless service providers with state and federal funding, conduct the biennial point-in-time homeless count and support rehousing efforts for the ballooning homeless population across Butte County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.buttehomelesscoc.com/uploads/1/1/7/5/117500423/final_2019_point_in_time_executive_summary_report_published_on_june_17_2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">homeless count\u003c/a> was conducted on a single day in March, just five months after the Camp Fire. That tally identified 2,304 sheltered and unsheltered homeless people in Butte County, many of whom were directly impacted by the fire. That’s a 16% increase since 2017. But the report acknowledged that the results were likely an undercount “due to ongoing challenges in locating homeless individuals, especially those that are displaced and unhoused due to the Camp Fire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, Griggs left the job — and the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Griggs cited many reasons for leaving. For one, while her home didn’t burn during the fire, it was damaged during subsequent floods — resulting in the loss of most of her belongings. And because of the damage to her home, Griggs and her husband spent several months living in a trailer on her property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she said one of the biggest reasons she left Butte County was the chaos behind the scenes at the Continuum of Care among providers and stakeholders, and a lack of empathy from residents as they tried to address the homelessness crisis in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before the Camp Fire devastated the town of Paradise and surrounding areas in early November, the Continuum of Care system, which is responsible for assisting local providers in obtaining money to address homelessness, was already overextended — both because of funding changes at the state level and a lack of administrative and technical support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the summer of 2018, California created a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cacities.org/getdoc/341f4873-3c91-4cf3-8031-ab54c8fafebc/HEAP-Overview-August-2018-Final.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new block of grant funding\u003c/a> to address the homelessness crisis in the state.

"content": "\u003cp>As California faces an unprecedented homelessness crisis, schools across the state are failing to connect their homeless students with the vital services they’re entitled to, a state audit found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students experiencing homelessness often face major hurdles to academic success and are far more likely than their peers to be chronically absent or to drop out altogether. While services like tutoring, transportation and free school meals are known to help, many kids don’t receive that support because their schools often aren’t even aware that they’re homeless, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.auditor.ca.gov/reports/2019-104/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">audit\u003c/a>, released Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Adam Clark, Superintendent of Vallejo City Unified School District\"]‘We’re just spread so thin with trying to provide the basics that it’s really hard to follow all the requirements when we’re not getting the resources and support to do it.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State lawmakers requested the audit earlier this year after questioning the results of data from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sd/sd/filescupc.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Department of Education\u003c/a> (CDE) that show a quarter of California’s schools reported zero homeless students during the 2017-18 school year, even though it’s widely understood that homelessness doesn’t spare any corner of the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/mckinney-vento/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">federal law\u003c/a>, schools must identify homeless students and provide them with support services. Those students are also guaranteed the right to be immediately enrolled in school even if they lack proper documentation, and to remain at whatever school they’ve been attending, regardless of whether they move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California State Auditor Elaine Howle analyzed five districts across California, as well as one charter high school, and found all but two were undercounting their student homeless population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis of the five districts — Greenfield Union School District, Gridley Unified School District, Norwalk‑La Mirada Unified School District, San Bernardino City Unified School District and Vallejo City Unified School District — and Birmingham Community Charter High School\u003cstrong>, \u003c/strong>showed that homeless youth were overall more academically successful in the schools that did a better job of identifying and supporting them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 5% and 10% of all low-income students in California experience homelessness in a given year, according to estimates by education experts cited in the audit. Meanwhile, most of the districts scrutinized in the report identified 3% or fewer of their low-income students as homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We determined that the [local districts] we reviewed could do more to identify and support these youth, and that [CDE] has provided inadequate oversight of the state’s homeless education program,” Howle wrote in a public letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School staff, the audit found, aren’t properly trained or are not following best practices.

Those students are also guaranteed the right to be immediately enrolled in school even if they lack proper documentation, and to remain at whatever school they’ve been attending, regardless of whether they move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California State Auditor Elaine Howle analyzed five districts across California, as well as one charter high school, and found all but two were undercounting their student homeless population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis of the five districts — Greenfield Union School District, Gridley Unified School District, Norwalk‑La Mirada Unified School District, San Bernardino City Unified School District and Vallejo City Unified School District — and Birmingham Community Charter High School\u003cstrong>, \u003c/strong>showed that homeless youth were overall more academically successful in the schools that did a better job of identifying and supporting them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 5% and 10% of all low-income students in California experience homelessness in a given year, according to estimates by education experts cited in the audit.

In the past five years, roughly half of those who moved away from the city stayed in the Bay Area, according to census data, with the largest number heading across the bay to Alameda County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis, part of San Francisco’s larger biennial \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.org/citysurvey/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City Survey\u003c/a>, included interviews in multiple languages with more than 2,200 San Franciscans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest concern among residents was homelessness, with 75% of respondents saying the problem had gotten worse.
