"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.",

With her 14-year-old daughter in tow, she scans the still-sparsely furnished, open floor plan living room-kitchen, pointing out the glistening, stainless steel fixtures and laminate countertops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a pretty decent-sized kitchen, considering it’s just two of us,” said Aquino. “I’m going for a farmhouse style.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 31-year-old single mom with a limited income and no college degree, Aquino has done the seemingly impossible: become a homeowner in one of the most brutally expensive housing markets in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And all she had to do was help build it herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Julieta Aquino\"]‘It was never a thought in my mind to be a homeowner because that just seemed so far away.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This summer, Aquino and her daughter, Alexys, were among 11 low-income families who received keys to their new homes in Central Commons, a small development they all helped build over the past two years as participants in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.habitatebsv.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Habitat for Humanity East Bay-Silicon Valley\u003c/a> project. Like all future homeowners in the Habitat program, each family was required to put in 500 hours of so-called sweat equity, pounding nails and pouring concrete alongside project managers and volunteer work crews on the construction site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was my first time using a hammer,” Aquino admitted, noting the steep learning curve, one that exposed her to everything from fundamental carpentry skills to a basic understanding of California’s building codes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really neat because even while we were building, we were signing our names on the studs.

In addition to their sweat equity hours, each family pays a 30-year low-interest mortgage guaranteed to never exceed 35% of their monthly income. That, along with no down payment and minimal closing costs, puts the prospect of homeownership squarely within the realm of possibility for low-income families like Aquino’s, who make between 30-80% of the area median income, in a region where average home prices easily bubble over $1 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely within my budget,” she said, noting that the program requires every participant to be on a monitored savings plan from the minute they’re selected. “I can assure you there is no other place in the Bay Area that I would be able to afford for the amount of money that I’m paying for this monthly.

And so I was desperate to find a place for Alexys and I to just move out and have some quiet, some space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stay at her parents’ house stretched to more than five years, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My initial thought was I want to go to the low-income housing areas for the rental market,” she added. “It was never a thought in my mind to be a homeowner because that just seemed so far away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexys also has asthma and the house in San Jose had a serious mold problem, one that resulted in multiple trips to the emergency room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though Aquino’s bedroom is now just a few feet down the hall from her daughter’s, she admits that sleeping in separate rooms for the first time in years has been a harder transition than she’d anticipated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m so used to her just sleeping with me that it’s going to take some time for me to fully let go,” Aquino said. “But she’s really excited to have her own room and have her own space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a different experience,” said Alexys, a thoughtful and soft-spoken teen, of her new room. “It’s your own space, your own privacy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But despite being only 30 miles north of San Jose, she added, she felt far away from her old life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I cried last night because I don’t get to see my friends,” she said. “But I think Fremont will be a good fresh start.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11768701\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11768701\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Alexys-at-home-800x522.jpg\" alt=\"Julieta Aquino's daughter Alexys in her new room, the first personal space she's ever had.\" width=\"800\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Alexys-at-home-800x522.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Alexys-at-home-160x104.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Alexys-at-home-1020x666.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Alexys-at-home-1200x783.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Alexys-at-home.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Julieta Aquino’s daughter, Alexys, in her new room, the first personal space she’s ever had. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Alexys had been too young to participate in the construction process but became a fixture on the work site over the last two years, decorating signs to place around the grounds while watching her mom help build their future home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was interesting because you pass by these buildings every day, and you never really know all the hard work that goes into them.

She immediately applied, but was initially rejected because of her poor credit history. A Habitat financial counselor, she said, worked with her to improve her credit score, and when she reapplied a year later, she was approved and put on a housing waitlist with scores of other applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until 2½ years later that she received a call informing her that Habitat had secured a piece of land in Fremont, in partnership with the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Then another year passed by and I was anxious,” she said. “I was constantly emailing my rep at Habitat. It felt like it was just never gonna happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November 2017 — more than three years after she’d first applied — Aquino was told the project was finally ready to break ground. She entered a final elimination process, in which program staff visited her parents’ San Jose home to assess her current living conditions and confirm her need to move elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after that, Aquino found out that she and her daughter were one of the 11 families — out of the hundreds in the selection pool — chosen to move into the first set of still-to-be-built units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “I felt like it was a miracle, like I had just won the lottery.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11768704\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11768704\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Julieta-Aquino-kitchen-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Julieta Aquino in her spotless new kitchen.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Julieta-Aquino-kitchen-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Julieta-Aquino-kitchen-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Julieta-Aquino-kitchen-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Julieta-Aquino-kitchen-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Julieta-Aquino-kitchen.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Julieta Aquino in her spotless new kitchen. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Sweat Equity\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Homeownership, though, still seemed elusive, in no small part because there wasn’t any physical structure yet and she still needed to put in her sweat equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was overwhelming to think that I was going to have to do 500 community service hours alone, knowing that I’m a full-time mom and full-time employee and it was 30 miles away from where I lived at the time,” said Aquino. But the program offered some flexibility, allowing her friends and family to contribute up to 200 hours of the required time, and giving her the option to work some hours off the construction site, helping out with Habitat fundraising projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next year, Aquino slowly fulfilled her work requirements, putting in time on weekday evenings after picking up her daughter from school, and spending every weekend getting her hands dirty at the construction site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So it was possible, but it was a lot,” she said. “I think as long as you really want it, you’ll find a way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Julieta Aquino\"]‘I think as long as you really want it, you’ll find a way.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she acknowledges that if she hadn’t had the option to stay with her parents, she might not have been able to swing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘Blessed’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Aquino estimates that roughly 30% of the family and friends she grew up with in San Jose have now moved away. “Not just out of the Bay Area to go to Central Valley or to Sacramento,” she said. “No, it’s just moving completely out of state. … It’s completely impossible for them to own their own home in the Bay Area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The region’s skyrocketing land and construction costs have also placed significant strain on the Habitat’s ability to find affordable building opportunities. The group, which relies on land partnerships with the cities it operates in, recently decided to offer the additional 19 units under construction in the Central Commons complex to families with more moderate incomes, earning 80-120% of the area median income, rather than the low-income families, like Aquino’s, who moved into the first 11 homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS37791__DSC0888-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11767898\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS37791__DSC0888-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS37791__DSC0888-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS37791__DSC0888-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS37791__DSC0888-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS37791__DSC0888-qut-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS37791__DSC0888-qut-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These homes are still affordable, being sold significantly below market rate with mortgages affordable for a moderate-income family,” Patti Wang Cross, a spokeswoman for Habitat for Humanity East Bay-Silicon Valley, said in an email, noting that the organization’s decision was furthered by a recent decline in funding sources. “It’s a population of families severely impacted by the housing crisis, too often priced out of the homeownership market but seldom served by affordable housing initiatives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new higher-income requirement is yet another reason Aquino is so quick to acknowledge how fortunate she and her daughter are. “Blessed” is an adjective she uses frequently to describe the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had my daughter when I was 16 and it’s been quite a journey,” she said. “And being able to say that I’m a homeowner at the age of 31, and she’s 14, I feel like I’ve come a long way. I definitely feel blessed, but I feel like everything that I do, I do because I want to set a good example for her and show her that although we might make different choices, or in this case sometimes not the wisest choices, I feel like we can still turn things around and make our future different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The California Dream series is a statewide media collaboration of CalMatters, KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio, with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the James Irvine Foundation and the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/CADreamBanner-1-800x219.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11768052\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/CADreamBanner-1-800x219.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/CADreamBanner-1-800x219.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/CADreamBanner-1-800x219-160x44.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

And so I was desperate to find a place for Alexys and I to just move out and have some quiet, some space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stay at her parents’ house stretched to more than five years, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My initial thought was I want to go to the low-income housing areas for the rental market,” she added. “It was never a thought in my mind to be a homeowner because that just seemed so far away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexys also has asthma and the house in San Jose had a serious mold problem, one that resulted in multiple trips to the emergency room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though Aquino’s bedroom is now just a few feet down the hall from her daughter’s, she admits that sleeping in separate rooms for the first time in years has been a harder transition than she’d anticipated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m so used to her just sleeping with me that it’s going to take some time for me to fully let go,” Aquino said. “But she’s really excited to have her own room and have her own space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a different experience,” said Alexys, a thoughtful and soft-spoken teen, of her new room. “It’s your own space, your own privacy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But despite being only 30 miles north of San Jose, she added, she felt far away from her old life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I cried last night because I don’t get to see my friends,” she said. “But I think Fremont will be a good fresh start.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11768701\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11768701\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Alexys-at-home-800x522.jpg\" alt=\"Julieta Aquino's daughter Alexys in her new room, the first personal space she's ever had.\" width=\"800\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Alexys-at-home-800x522.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Alexys-at-home-160x104.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Alexys-at-home-1020x666.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Alexys-at-home-1200x783.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Alexys-at-home.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Julieta Aquino’s daughter, Alexys, in her new room, the first personal space she’s ever had. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Alexys had been too young to participate in the construction process but became a fixture on the work site over the last two years, decorating signs to place around the grounds while watching her mom help build their future home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was interesting because you pass by these buildings every day, and you never really know all the hard work that goes into them.

She immediately applied, but was initially rejected because of her poor credit history. A Habitat financial counselor, she said, worked with her to improve her credit score, and when she reapplied a year later, she was approved and put on a housing waitlist with scores of other applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until 2½ years later that she received a call informing her that Habitat had secured a piece of land in Fremont, in partnership with the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Then another year passed by and I was anxious,” she said. “I was constantly emailing my rep at Habitat. It felt like it was just never gonna happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November 2017 — more than three years after she’d first applied — Aquino was told the project was finally ready to break ground. She entered a final elimination process, in which program staff visited her parents’ San Jose home to assess her current living conditions and confirm her need to move elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after that, Aquino found out that she and her daughter were one of the 11 families — out of the hundreds in the selection pool — chosen to move into the first set of still-to-be-built units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “I felt like it was a miracle, like I had just won the lottery.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11768704\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11768704\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Julieta-Aquino-kitchen-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Julieta Aquino in her spotless new kitchen.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Julieta-Aquino-kitchen-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Julieta-Aquino-kitchen-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Julieta-Aquino-kitchen-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Julieta-Aquino-kitchen-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Julieta-Aquino-kitchen.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Julieta Aquino in her spotless new kitchen. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Sweat Equity\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Homeownership, though, still seemed elusive, in no small part because there wasn’t any physical structure yet and she still needed to put in her sweat equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was overwhelming to think that I was going to have to do 500 community service hours alone, knowing that I’m a full-time mom and full-time employee and it was 30 miles away from where I lived at the time,” said Aquino. But the program offered some flexibility, allowing her friends and family to contribute up to 200 hours of the required time, and giving her the option to work some hours off the construction site, helping out with Habitat fundraising projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next year, Aquino slowly fulfilled her work requirements, putting in time on weekday evenings after picking up her daughter from school, and spending every weekend getting her hands dirty at the construction site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So it was possible, but it was a lot,” she said. “I think as long as you really want it, you’ll find a way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The group, which relies on land partnerships with the cities it operates in, recently decided to offer the additional 19 units under construction in the Central Commons complex to families with more moderate incomes, earning 80-120% of the area median income, rather than the low-income families, like Aquino’s, who moved into the first 11 homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS37791__DSC0888-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11767898\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS37791__DSC0888-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS37791__DSC0888-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS37791__DSC0888-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS37791__DSC0888-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS37791__DSC0888-qut-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS37791__DSC0888-qut-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These homes are still affordable, being sold significantly below market rate with mortgages affordable for a moderate-income family,” Patti Wang Cross, a spokeswoman for Habitat for Humanity East Bay-Silicon Valley, said in an email, noting that the organization’s decision was furthered by a recent decline in funding sources. “It’s a population of families severely impacted by the housing crisis, too often priced out of the homeownership market but seldom served by affordable housing initiatives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new higher-income requirement is yet another reason Aquino is so quick to acknowledge how fortunate she and her daughter are. “Blessed” is an adjective she uses frequently to describe the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had my daughter when I was 16 and it’s been quite a journey,” she said. “And being able to say that I’m a homeowner at the age of 31, and she’s 14, I feel like I’ve come a long way.

"content": "\u003cp>Along a big, commercial street in Los Angeles' North Hollywood area, near a row of empty storefronts, about half a dozen motor homes sat parked on a recent morning. Inside one of them, 67-year-old Edith Grays and her husband watched TV with the door open. Grays said they'd been there a few days, despite a two-hour parking limit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Thank God they're not bothering us right now,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not unusual to see clusters of campers around the city. Grays is one of the nearly 10,000 people who live in vehicles inside L.A.'s city limits. Some take shelter in cars, others in vans or trucks, but RVs are the most visible. They're also the most difficult to park — especially now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles City Council recently reinstated an ordinance that bans sleeping overnight in vehicles in residential areas. The law also forbids living in a vehicle within a block of a park, school or day care. Tickets for violating the rules start at $25 for a first offense, $50 the second time and $75 after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Neighborhoods divided\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents who support the restrictions say vehicle encampments have caused parking shortages and sanitation issues. Critics say that without alternatives to parking on the street, the rules are inhumane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a stupid law,\" Mel Tillekeratne, executive director of a homelessness nonprofit called The Shower of Hope, said during a recent public meeting. \"This law ... is going to directly contribute to these people being on the street.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Edith Grays, who ran a window-washing business with her husband until he had a series of strokes and couldn't work, losing their motor home is a big fear. She said they moved into it after not being able to afford rent anymore, and she takes care to avoid being ticketed or towed. When asked how much of her time is spent looking for parking or planning where to park next, Grays replied: \"All of it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"homeless-project\" label=\"Coverage of Homelessness in the Bay Area\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's very difficult,\" she said. \"It causes a lot of stress in my life.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a couple of miles away, however, homeowner Walter Hall says RV encampments have choked major streets and that public urination by people living in vehicles has been a problem for at least one local park. \"That's the kind of thing we would prefer not to see,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hall supports the city having rules around vehicle dwelling but said enforcement should be tougher. A \u003ca href=\"http://clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2014/14-1057-S2_misc_09-06-2018.pdf\">2018 report\u003c/a> from the Los Angeles Police Department said that officers issued about 10 citations a month, partly because it's difficult to confirm when people are living in vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One result, Hall said, is that the restrictions mostly just shuffle people from one location to another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They disappear one place only to reappear someplace else,\" he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A national problem\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles isn't the only city struggling to balance the rights of those with and those without homes. Over the past decade, municipalities around the country with large homeless populations have passed laws banning activities such as panhandling or sleeping in public areas. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ordinances limiting where people can live in vehicles are now the fastest-growing type of such restrictions, according to the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades it was completely illegal to live in a vehicle in L.A. But in 2014, as homelessness swelled, that policy was struck down in federal court. The city then came up with the current ordinance, but it expired in July, so the City Council had to vote on renewing it for another six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11764545\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason it had lapsed is that it was intended to be a stop-gap while the city expanded its safe parking program, which provides after-hours lots specifically designated for overnight vehicle camping. The program also provides security and bathroom access. But that plan has lagged, partly due to budget issues, and L.A. has only about 100 safe parking spaces for more than 5,000 vehicles in which people live. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day of the City Council vote on extending the parking restrictions, dozens of opponents showed up at City Hall to argue that the policy is cruel without safe parking options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Several of the families at my children's elementary school are struggling with homelessness,\" said Erika Feresten. \"It's unconscionable that they would be criminalized.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After hearing nearly an hour of solid opposition, the City Council voted 13 to 0 to reinstate the rules, prompting the crowd to start chanting, \"Shame on you!\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti says he expects to add another 200 safe parking spaces in the next few months. In the meantime, he said, the city has homeless outreach teams dedicated to finding people in vehicles and connecting them with social services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to make it easier\" for people living in vehicles, Garcetti said, \"but we also have to have that balance ... making sure that it's not going to be chaos out there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The parking restrictions will go to the City Council again early next year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 KCRW.

Inside one of them, 67-year-old Edith Grays and her husband watched TV with the door open. Grays said they'd been there a few days, despite a two-hour parking limit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Thank God they're not bothering us right now,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not unusual to see clusters of campers around the city. Grays is one of the nearly 10,000 people who live in vehicles inside L.A.'s city limits. Some take shelter in cars, others in vans or trucks, but RVs are the most visible. They're also the most difficult to park — especially now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles City Council recently reinstated an ordinance that bans sleeping overnight in vehicles in residential areas. The law also forbids living in a vehicle within a block of a park, school or day care. Tickets for violating the rules start at $25 for a first offense, $50 the second time and $75 after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Neighborhoods divided\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents who support the restrictions say vehicle encampments have caused parking shortages and sanitation issues. Critics say that without alternatives to parking on the street, the rules are inhumane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a stupid law,\" Mel Tillekeratne, executive director of a homelessness nonprofit called The Shower of Hope, said during a recent public meeting. \"This law ... is going to directly contribute to these people being on the street.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Edith Grays, who ran a window-washing business with her husband until he had a series of strokes and couldn't work, losing their motor home is a big fear. She said they moved into it after not being able to afford rent anymore, and she takes care to avoid being ticketed or towed. When asked how much of her time is spent looking for parking or planning where to park next, Grays replied: \"All of it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Over the past decade, municipalities around the country with large homeless populations have passed laws banning activities such as panhandling or sleeping in public areas. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ordinances limiting where people can live in vehicles are now the fastest-growing type of such restrictions, according to the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades it was completely illegal to live in a vehicle in L.A. But in 2014, as homelessness swelled, that policy was struck down in federal court. The city then came up with the current ordinance, but it expired in July, so the City Council had to vote on renewing it for another six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Most of the other gay-owned clothing and retail owners have closed. Block opened Block Party in 2009 and has had retail businesses in West Hollywood for more than three decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He points to new restaurants and bars up and down the street that operate out of the former sites of gay men’s clothing stores.

It is able to do what bigger cities can’t, focus on the LGBTQ residents by providing services, support and events. The city is known for its gay-centric focus.

It started the first registry of domestic partners, offers health services and has a HIV zero campaign to stop the transmission of the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was founded to be an LGBT haven,” Gates said. “It is unique among LGBT enclaves”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before it became a city, the 1.9 square-mile area was unincorporated and had been home to mobsters who served alcohol during the Prohibition, the first movie studio and, eventually, gay nightlife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1984 it was incorporated as West Hollywood, home to more than 37,000 residents, many of them gay. It continues to be a beacon for LGBTQ folks, though it is much more expensive to move in than when D’Amico or councilwoman Lauren Meister arrived decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They want to be here either to live or to work,” said Meister, who is not LGBTQ. “We have that edge. But I think it’s changing, and it’s changing partly because of the housing; and I think it’s also changing partly because of acceptance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For West Hollywood, where gay couples, who can now marry and have families, may be leaving for more suburban environs and some seniors may be retiring elsewhere there are still many aging gay residents who plan to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is creating a new moment in the city, said D’Amico.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>'We Got You'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“We haven’t lost our identify as an LGBTQ center for Los Angeles,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Consistently ranked among the most pressing concerns for San Francisco’s residents, homelessness has proved to be a political lightning rod in a city known for its progressive views, innovative spirit and enormous income gaps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have, of course, been some successes along the way, though progress has often been hard to notice. Over the last 15 years, the city estimates that it has housed more than \u003ca href=\"https://projects.sfchronicle.com/sf-homeless/2018-state-of-homelessness/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">26,000 homeless people\u003c/a>. But that’s come at tremendous cost: The city spent more than $300 million on homeless prevention services in 2018, and yet the day-to-day population didn’t dip. It actually grew, to more than 8,000, \u003ca href=\"http://hsh.sfgov.org/research-reports/san-francisco-homeless-point-in-time-count-reports/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to city’s latest point-in-time count\u003c/a> (and that didn’t include the nearly 1,800 additional homeless people who were counted in jails, hospitals and rehabilitation facilities).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following timeline describes the various ways each of the city’s last seven mayors has tried to tackle this intractable issue.

In the early 1980s, though, homelessness became a full-blown crisis throughout the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crisis was a decade in the making — the result of a combination of massive state and federal cuts to mental health services and public housing, a wave of Vietnam veterans in need of help, skyrocketing home prices and a spike in unemployment caused by the national recession. San Francisco was hit particularly hard, especially in the Tenderloin and other downtown neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>1982-1988: Feinstein’s Muni Bus Shelters\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765203\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765203\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2-800x561.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2-800x561.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2-160x112.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2-1020x715.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Dianne Feinstein and members of her administration walk through a shantytown slated to be dismantled, near Seventh and Berry streets, on Jan. 28, 1986. \u003ccite>(Steve Ringman/SF Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mayor Dianne Feinstein approached the homeless issue as a passing phenomenon. Rather than creating permanent housing and long-term services, her administration relied primarily on church-based emergency shelters, soup kitchens and city-funded overnight stays in cheap, private hotels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strategy proved costly and ultimately unsuccessful.

The plan called for building two centers — the first city-owned shelters — where homeless clients could be assessed and receive health and counseling services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agnos’s reputation, though, took a hit that summer when hundreds of homeless people set up camp in Civic Center Plaza. The press dubbed it “Camp Agnos.” For months, he allowed the camp and its residents to remain, but under mounting pressure, eventually ordered police to dismantle it. His string of shelters opened hastily in 1990 to accommodate victims of the October 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, but lacking adequate resources, they soon became overcrowded and understaffed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following year, Agnos was unseated by Frank Jordan, his former police chief, who pledged to dramatically change tack and deal with homelessness through a law-and-order approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>1992-1996: Jordan’s ‘Matrix’\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765136\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765136\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1-800x623.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1-800x623.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1-160x125.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Frank Jordan, who was San Francisco’s police chief before becoming mayor, tells a homeless man where he can find shelter for the night. \u003ccite>(Brant Ward/SF Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Soon after taking office, Mayor Frank Jordan instituted his Matrix program, an enforcement-based strategy using police to forcibly clear homeless people from the streets and steer them into health and housing services. During the first six months of the program, police issued 6,000 citations for quality-of-life misdemeanors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics said the approach criminalized the poor and merely managed homelessness rather than doing anything to prevent it. But many residents and businesses, weary of deteriorating street conditions, supported the plan. In 1994, voters approved Jordan’s measures to ban loitering near ATMs and to replace part of city welfare checks with housing vouchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without enough services in place to handle the uptick in numbers, though, little progress was made in preventing the homeless from returning to the streets. Similar to the fate of his predecessor, Jordan’s poorly performing homeless policies — used as ammunition by his challenger, Willie Brown — contributed to his failed re-election bid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>1996-2004: Brown’s Grand Vision\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765135\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765135\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3-800x530.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Willie Brown wields a broom as part of his litter-removal program, while neighborhood youth look on. Brown says his “only option was to manage” homelessness. \u003ccite>(Lea Suzuki/SF Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mayor Willie Brown pledged to bring in outside government funding to expand social services and develop a regional plan with other Bay Area cities. But during the subsequent period of economic expansion and gentrification, fueled by the late 1990s dot-com boom, those plans fell short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown did lead a successful increase in the city’s affordable housing stock, creating thousands of new units and beds by leasing and renovating cheap residential hotels and heavily subsidizing the rent. But he also took a number of controversial pro-development actions, such as increasing quality-of-life citations and closing the Mission Rock homeless shelter to build a parking lot adjacent to Oracle Park (then called SBC Park).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his second term, Brown took little leadership on the issue, famously declaring homelessness a problem “that may not be solvable.” In 2002, the San Francisco’s homeless population spiked at more than 8,600, as the city became gripped by a housing shortage and skyrocketing costs amid the economic boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>2004-2010: Newsom’s Supportive Housing\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765134\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765134\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1-800x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1-800x520.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1-160x104.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Gavin Newsom at the McAllister Hotel on April 30, 2004, where rooms were being made available to the homeless. \u003ccite>(Brant Ward/SF Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As a city supervisor, Gavin Newsom championed the controversial “Care Not Cash” measure, slashing cash payments to the homeless and redirecting funds toward housing. In his first year as mayor, he introduced an ambitious 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness by creating 3,000 housing units with supportive services and replacing emergency shelter beds with 24-hour clinics. Although the plan fell short of its goal, it did move thousands of homeless people off the streets over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the program’s first year, homelessness in the city dropped by nearly 30% from its 2002 high. But then the numbers froze — at over 6,000 people — through the remainder of his tenure. As mayor, Newsom also sponsored a measure approved by voters in 2010 that restricted sitting or lying on sidewalks. Homelessness, he later claimed, is the “manifestation of complete, abject failure as a society. We’ll never solve this at City Hall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>2011-2017: Lee’s Department of Homelessness\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765133\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11765133 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee-800x573.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"573\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee-800x573.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee-160x115.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Ed Lee stops to talk with residents of the Raman Hotel on Howard Street, a supportive housing facility. \u003ccite>(Brant Ward/SF Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mayor Ed Lee, who was appointed after Newsom became lieutenant governor, initially devoted significantly less attention than his predecessor to homelessness. In an effort to woo major tech companies, Lee cleared areas in the Mid-Market district and nearby neighborhoods, and ordered large homeless camps dismantled. Criticized for avoiding the issue, Lee opened the city’s first navigation center in 2015, a 24-hour multiservice homeless shelter providing housing assistance and drug abuse rehabilitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month into his second full term, Lee announced a new citywide homeless department, an effort to group all services under one roof and spend at least $1 billion over the following four years to help thousands of people find supportive housing.

Consistently ranked among the most pressing concerns for San Francisco’s residents, homelessness has proved to be a political lightning rod in a city known for its progressive views, innovative spirit and enormous income gaps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have, of course, been some successes along the way, though progress has often been hard to notice. Over the last 15 years, the city estimates that it has housed more than \u003ca href=\"https://projects.sfchronicle.com/sf-homeless/2018-state-of-homelessness/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">26,000 homeless people\u003c/a>. But that’s come at tremendous cost: The city spent more than $300 million on homeless prevention services in 2018, and yet the day-to-day population didn’t dip. It actually grew, to more than 8,000, \u003ca href=\"http://hsh.sfgov.org/research-reports/san-francisco-homeless-point-in-time-count-reports/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to city’s latest point-in-time count\u003c/a> (and that didn’t include the nearly 1,800 additional homeless people who were counted in jails, hospitals and rehabilitation facilities).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following timeline describes the various ways each of the city’s last seven mayors has tried to tackle this intractable issue.

The plan called for building two centers — the first city-owned shelters — where homeless clients could be assessed and receive health and counseling services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agnos’s reputation, though, took a hit that summer when hundreds of homeless people set up camp in Civic Center Plaza. The press dubbed it “Camp Agnos.” For months, he allowed the camp and its residents to remain, but under mounting pressure, eventually ordered police to dismantle it. His string of shelters opened hastily in 1990 to accommodate victims of the October 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, but lacking adequate resources, they soon became overcrowded and understaffed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following year, Agnos was unseated by Frank Jordan, his former police chief, who pledged to dramatically change tack and deal with homelessness through a law-and-order approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>1992-1996: Jordan’s ‘Matrix’\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765136\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765136\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1-800x623.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1-800x623.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1-160x125.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Frank Jordan, who was San Francisco’s police chief before becoming mayor, tells a homeless man where he can find shelter for the night. \u003ccite>(Brant Ward/SF Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Soon after taking office, Mayor Frank Jordan instituted his Matrix program, an enforcement-based strategy using police to forcibly clear homeless people from the streets and steer them into health and housing services. During the first six months of the program, police issued 6,000 citations for quality-of-life misdemeanors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics said the approach criminalized the poor and merely managed homelessness rather than doing anything to prevent it. But many residents and businesses, weary of deteriorating street conditions, supported the plan. In 1994, voters approved Jordan’s measures to ban loitering near ATMs and to replace part of city welfare checks with housing vouchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without enough services in place to handle the uptick in numbers, though, little progress was made in preventing the homeless from returning to the streets.

But then the numbers froze — at over 6,000 people — through the remainder of his tenure. As mayor, Newsom also sponsored a measure approved by voters in 2010 that restricted sitting or lying on sidewalks.

In an effort to woo major tech companies, Lee cleared areas in the Mid-Market district and nearby neighborhoods, and ordered large homeless camps dismantled. Criticized for avoiding the issue, Lee opened the city’s first navigation center in 2015, a 24-hour multiservice homeless shelter providing housing assistance and drug abuse rehabilitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month into his second full term, Lee announced a new citywide homeless department, an effort to group all services under one roof and spend at least $1 billion over the following four years to help thousands of people find supportive housing. The department launched in July 2016. A year later, it reported a double-digit decrease in family and youth homelessness, but a slight rise in the number of single homeless adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee then launched a “coordinated entry” initiative to consolidate the dozens of city-funded homeless service groups under one system and have a shared database. Meanwhile, public complaints about encampments, human waste and needles increased sharply, from about 6,300 in 2011 to more than 44,000 in 2016, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Despite-money-and-work-homelessness-in-SF-as-bad-11242946.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>2018-Today: Breed’s ‘Housing First’ Push\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765218\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/breed.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11765218 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/breed-e1564774445173-800x551.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/breed-e1564774445173-800x551.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/breed-e1564774445173-160x110.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/breed-e1564774445173-1020x703.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/breed-e1564774445173-1200x827.jpeg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/breed-e1564774445173-1920x1323.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/breed-e1564774445173.jpeg 1960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor London Breed, flanked by city officials, at the official groundbreaking on July 9, 2019, of a new Broadway development, which is expected to provide 178 new units of affordable housing for families, seniors and formerly homeless seniors. \u003ccite>(\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1148710274699948032\">Courtesy of Mayor Breed's office (via Twitter)\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mayor London Breed entered office pledging to further the reach of programs established by her predecessor. Early on, she committed to adding at least 1,000 new shelter beds by 2020 and upheld Lee’s promise of building 5,000 units of housing annually, significantly expanding the city’s affordable housing stock and protecting existing affordable units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed has also proposed expanding the number of navigation centers throughout the city — including a recent proposal to open a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/SF-proposes-first-safe-parking-lot-for-homeless-14096895.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">safe parking site\u003c/a> for people living in their vehicles — and strongly \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/heatherknight/article/Breed-says-fight-for-safe-injection-sites-in-SF-13273455.php\">supports safe injection sites \u003c/a>for drug users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since October 2018, her administration has added nearly 300 shelter beds, with proposals for about 500 more, and helped move \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Mayor-angered-it-takes-so-damn-long-to-14097717.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some 1,500 people off the streets\u003c/a> since she took office, with drops in veteran and youth homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, a one-night homeless count in January identified nearly 9,800 homeless people in San Francisco (including those in jails, hospitals and rehabilitation facilities) — \u003ca href=\"http://hsh.sfgov.org/wp-content/uploads/FINAL-PIT-Report-2019-San-Francisco.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than half of them unsheltered \u003c/a>— a 30% increase since 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, some of Breed’s efforts to build new shelters have hit major roadblocks. Most notably, her plan to build a 200-bed navigation center on the Embarcadero this summer is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11760996/opponents-of-navigation-center-say-city-taking-big-risk-in-starting-to-prep-site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">now tied up in litigation \u003c/a>after a neighborhood group sued to halt construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And despite Breed’s ongoing efforts to expedite the construction of affordable housing, the city \u003ca href=\"http://commissions.sfplanning.org/cpcpackets/1996.0013CWP_2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">netted just over 2,500 new units\u003c/a> in 2018, a 42% decrease since 2017, marking the lowest gain in five years. Breed is now pushing the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Largest-affordable-housing-bond-in-SF-s-history-14083614.php?psid=6rEnl\">biggest affordable housing bond in San Francisco’s history,\u003c/a> which would yield $600 million and up to 2,800 units if approved by voters in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed also angered key homeless advocates when she opposed Proposition C, which she said lacked proper accountability provisions. The measure, which voters decisively approved in November 2018, creates a new tax on large corporations, and is expected to bring in as much as $300 million annually for homeless services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
