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

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

She inherited a number of challenging issues, including the city’s sky-high rents that have heightened concerns about growing income inequality, and homelessness, which has increased by nearly 20 percent since 2017. In March, she unveiled a controversial plan to open the city’s largest homeless navigation center on a lot along the Embarcadero despite opposition from neighborhood residents. Mayor London Breed joins us in the studio for a discussion about the city’s top challenges and her re-election bid in November. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Tensions with Iran and Look Ahead at Democratic Debates\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After a U.S. surveillance drone was shot down near Iran this week, President Trump warned that he “would not stand for it.” The incident comes just days after American officials blamed Iran for recent attacks on foreign shipping tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway where much of the world’s oil is transported. On the domestic front, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is facing calls to apologize after he fondly spoke about what he considered civil working relationships with segregationists in the Senate. Also this week, NBC announced its schedule and placement of 20 of the Democratic presidential candidates for their first debates next Wednesday and Thursday. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, Republican strategist, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carla Marinucci, senior political writer, Politico\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>PG&E’s Billion-Dollar Pledge to Communities Hurt by Wildfires\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled this week a plan that would set up an insurance fund as large as $21 billion to shield utilities from future wildfire claims, provided they make and certify safety improvements for their operations. Also this week, PG&E agreed to pay $1 billion to local governments after a series of devastating wildfires were linked to its power lines and equipment. The funds are intended to help cover damage spread over 14 cities and counties, including losses from last year’s Camp Fire, which killed 85 people in the town of Paradise. Meanwhile, environmental activists and city officials want San Francisco to look into abandoning the utility, which filed for bankruptcy in January, citing liabilities in the tens of billions of dollars for its role in deadly 2017 and 2018 wildfires. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Lisa Pickoff-White, data journalist, KQED \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>For the past three years, Victor Manuel Escobar Rivas has lived in a trailer on a shaded road in Mountain View. His “trailita,” as he calls it, is one of more than 30 mobile homes that extend down the block in a half-mile long line of grey metal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Escobar’s trailer doesn’t have an official address, so he directs people to send letters to a nearby friend. She stops by his trailer to bring him his mail every few days. But while friends and family know to write him at this address, the U.S. Census Bureau doesn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Escobar is one of thousands of Bay Area residents who live in “unconventional housing” and are at risk of being missed in the 2020 Census, which is tasked with counting every person in the nation. Since 2010, soaring Bay Area rents have forced residents to live in garages, sheds, mobile homes, or crowded multi-family apartments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not the only new challenge when it comes to counting the Bay Area. Nationally, census forms are going online, the federal government has cut the Census Bureau’s budget, and a citizenship question may be added. Changes like these make counting the Bay Area’s immigrants, non-English speakers, ethnic minorities, and low-income populations even more difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Census Coverage\" tag=\"census\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is the hardest state to count,” said Anne Im, a program officer for the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. “We have the highest amount of hard-to-count populations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next March, the Census will begin mailing postcards to addresses across the nation, directing people to fill out the census form online. If a household doesn’t respond after multiple mailings, paid enumerators will knock on doors to ask census questions in person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But already, Bay Area counties and non-profit organizations are preparing by canvassing neighborhoods to make address lists more complete and recruiting “trusted messengers” like priests and community organizers to encourage hard-to-count populations to fill out the census.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Impact\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>An undercount could have serious consequences. For each person missed, a county loses an estimated $2,000 in federal funding annually. Since the 2010 census, San Jose lost out on $200 million in federal money, according to Mayor Sam Liccardo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The census also determines California’s political representation. Though the Public Policy Institute of California predicts that the state's population is on track to keep 53 seats in the U.S. House, an undercount could drop that down to 52 seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 1990 census, widely considered to be a flub, missed approximately 4 million people. It cost California $2 billion in federal funding and a seat in Congress, according to the Legislative Analyst’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census data is used to allocate federal funding for a variety of public programs, and an undercount in California could decrease their budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Imagine longer waits at the hospital, in the ER waiting room, if there's less funding for hospitals. Imagine less money for Head Start programs. Imagine less money for public housing for the Bay Area, because people are not getting counted,” said Perla Ni, CEO of CommunityConnect Labs, a nonprofit that works with census outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11756285\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11756285\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/RS37848_RV_9X7A0010-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"More than 30 mobile homes extend down the block near Rengstorff Park in Mountain View.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/RS37848_RV_9X7A0010-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/RS37848_RV_9X7A0010-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/RS37848_RV_9X7A0010-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/RS37848_RV_9X7A0010-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/RS37848_RV_9X7A0010-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">More than 30 mobile homes extend down the block near Rengstorff Park in Mountain View. \u003ccite>(Isabella Jibilian/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Budget Cuts at the Bureau\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Faced with outreach challenges and with federal funding at stake, the California state government has already appropriated $100 million for census outreach. The governor has asked to add another $54 million in funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This mobilization is partly in reaction to federal budget cuts at the Census Bureau. Transitions to digital tools — like mapping via satellite, or moving the first wave of census responses online, have saved the Bureau money. But these cuts also seek to eliminate expensive field work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The U.S. Census Bureau funding has been cut significantly and that will impact particularly their ability to do non-response follow-up,” said Im of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=”right” citation=\"Anne Im, Silicon Valley Community Foundation program officer\"]\"California is the hardest state to count. We have the highest amount of hard-to-count populations.\"[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonprofit and county staff emphasize that field work is essential to reaching hard-to-count communities, since they may not be able to respond online, may be suspicious of the government, or may fear that their information will be misused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re starting our outreach now, because the Census [Bureau] outreach hasn’t started yet,” said Megan Gosch, census lead for San Mateo County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Unconventional Housing\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Victor Manuel Escobar Rivas is not the only Bay Area resident without a mailbox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a housing crisis, people are renting whatever they can,” said Julio Garcia of Nuestra Casa, a community organization in East Palo Alto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia sees many residents who are shut out of the expensive housing market but are employed in the area. To avoid lengthy commutes, people rent sheds and converted garages. Others get an recreational vehicle and pay to park it in a backyard. Some even rent tents in backyards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the norm now. It’s not the exception,” said Garcia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, Megan Gosch flicked through a powerpoint in a conference room in Redwood City. A white colonial house with a red door came on the screen, captioned, “TRADITIONAL HOUSING.” Another few slides flashed by, and another slide showed a trailer sitting in the backyard of a home, captioned, “NON-TRADITIONAL HOUSING.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May of 2018, presentations like these were used as part of an effort to canvas neighborhoods for unconventional housing, in order to add them to the master address form. Back in 2018, cities and counties across the nation took part in the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA). For cities worried about an undercount, including San Jose, New York City, and Houston, Texas, canvassing can produce addresses not found elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout May and June of 2018, canvassers in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties targeted neighborhoods deemed “hard to count.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were taught to spot the difference between a garage and an inhabited garage. They looked for extra doorbells, satellite dishes, or drapes in the windows. From the sidewalk, they checked to see if power lines from the main house extended to the extra unit, or even looked to see if they could see children’s drawings through the windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara County, canvassers added 3,100 addresses to the list. In San Mateo County, they added 1,915. And in East Palo Alto alone, they found 701 units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But canvassing efforts cannot find all forms of unconventional housing. For one, apartments that seem traditional from the outside might house multiple families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are sharing their apartments. I don’t know if those people are going to get counted or not,” said Garcia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two or three families might share a one-bedroom apartment. That can be about 15 people in an apartment designed for one or two, explained Garcia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even if a census form arrives in their mailbox, or an enumerator shows up at their door, tenants fear that a landlord could discover their sublease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fear is that you are going to get evicted if the landlord finds out how many people are living there,\" said Garcia. \"And then where do you go?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to remind people that Title 13 of the U.S. Code prohibits any other governmental agency from accessing your information, so the local planning department will have zero access to your information,” said Casey Farmer, census lead for Alameda County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=”right” citation=\"Text from cards that Nuestra Casa distributes to undocumented immigrants\"]\"NO ABRA LA PUERTA. NO CONTESTE NINGUNA PREGUNTA. (Don’t open the door. Don’t answer any questions.)\"[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Immigrants\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In April, Marcos Gutierrez, host of “Hecho in California” on KIQI, a San Francisco Spanish-language radio station, received a tearful call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An older woman told the host she had received a questionnaire in the mail. Between sobs, she explained that she had completed and returned the form. Anxiously, she asked if it was the 2020 Census. “She was concerned that she would be ‘given away,'” said a KIQI staff member. “She was very upset.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, immigrants comprised more than one-third of the population in San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Alameda counties, according to the American Community Survey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the threat of a new question asking respondents if they are citizens of the United States looms large for California. Experts say that the question could suppress responses in immigrant communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A survey conducted by UCLA political scientist Matt Barreto found that 11 to 18% of immigrants said that they would not respond to the census if it included a citizenship question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fight over whether to include the citizenship question is now in the Supreme Court. But advocates there are already high levels of fear in immigrant and racial-minority communities that could suppress census participation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anti-immigrant sentiment and press about the citizenship question have caused “unprecedented” levels of fear, according to Julia Marks, attorney for Asian Americans Advancing Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Regardless of whether the citizenship question is on the form or not, the damage has already been done,” said Geraldine Alcid, executive director of Filipino Advocates for Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has also been an uptick in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity over the last few months, according to Hamid Yazdan Panah, Advocacy Director for the California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice. In the Bay Area, “ICE enforcement happens on a daily basis,” said Panah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, organizations like Nuestra Casa regularly distribute “red cards” to undocumented immigrants that assert their constitutional rights. The first bullet point on many red cards reads, “NO ABRA LA PUERTA,\" or \"Don’t open the door.\" The second bullet point on many red cards reads, “NO CONTESTE NINGUNA PREGUNTA,” or \"Don’t answer any questions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These cards are aimed at undocumented immigrants who fear that ICE is knocking at their door. But if it’s a census enumerator, this advice makes counting near impossible. Nuestra Casa said it encourages immigrants to respond to census mailings, so that enumerators don’t need to come knocking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's going to be challenging. It's going to be hard,” said Im. “There's going to have to be a lot of people working together from every sector, from nonprofits and philanthropy to business to the faith communities. This is going to be an all-hands-on-deck effort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Nationally, census forms are going online, the federal government has cut the Census Bureau’s budget, and a citizenship question may be added.

Though the Public Policy Institute of California predicts that the state's population is on track to keep 53 seats in the U.S. House, an undercount could drop that down to 52 seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 1990 census, widely considered to be a flub, missed approximately 4 million people.

To avoid lengthy commutes, people rent sheds and converted garages. Others get an recreational vehicle and pay to park it in a backyard. Some even rent tents in backyards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the norm now. It’s not the exception,” said Garcia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, Megan Gosch flicked through a powerpoint in a conference room in Redwood City. A white colonial house with a red door came on the screen, captioned, “TRADITIONAL HOUSING.” Another few slides flashed by, and another slide showed a trailer sitting in the backyard of a home, captioned, “NON-TRADITIONAL HOUSING.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May of 2018, presentations like these were used as part of an effort to canvas neighborhoods for unconventional housing, in order to add them to the master address form. Back in 2018, cities and counties across the nation took part in the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA). For cities worried about an undercount, including San Jose, New York City, and Houston, Texas, canvassing can produce addresses not found elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout May and June of 2018, canvassers in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties targeted neighborhoods deemed “hard to count.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were taught to spot the difference between a garage and an inhabited garage. They looked for extra doorbells, satellite dishes, or drapes in the windows. From the sidewalk, they checked to see if power lines from the main house extended to the extra unit, or even looked to see if they could see children’s drawings through the windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara County, canvassers added 3,100 addresses to the list. In San Mateo County, they added 1,915. And in East Palo Alto alone, they found 701 units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But canvassing efforts cannot find all forms of unconventional housing. For one, apartments that seem traditional from the outside might house multiple families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are sharing their apartments. I don’t know if those people are going to get counted or not,” said Garcia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two or three families might share a one-bedroom apartment. That can be about 15 people in an apartment designed for one or two, explained Garcia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even if a census form arrives in their mailbox, or an enumerator shows up at their door, tenants fear that a landlord could discover their sublease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fear is that you are going to get evicted if the landlord finds out how many people are living there,\" said Garcia. \"And then where do you go?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to remind people that Title 13 of the U.S. Code prohibits any other governmental agency from accessing your information, so the local planning department will have zero access to your information,” said Casey Farmer, census lead for Alameda County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Between sobs, she explained that she had completed and returned the form. Anxiously, she asked if it was the 2020 Census. “She was concerned that she would be ‘given away,'” said a KIQI staff member. “She was very upset.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, immigrants comprised more than one-third of the population in San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Alameda counties, according to the American Community Survey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the threat of a new question asking respondents if they are citizens of the United States looms large for California. Experts say that the question could suppress responses in immigrant communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A survey conducted by UCLA political scientist Matt Barreto found that 11 to 18% of immigrants said that they would not respond to the census if it included a citizenship question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fight over whether to include the citizenship question is now in the Supreme Court. But advocates there are already high levels of fear in immigrant and racial-minority communities that could suppress census participation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anti-immigrant sentiment and press about the citizenship question have caused “unprecedented” levels of fear, according to Julia Marks, attorney for Asian Americans Advancing Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Regardless of whether the citizenship question is on the form or not, the damage has already been done,” said Geraldine Alcid, executive director of Filipino Advocates for Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has also been an uptick in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity over the last few months, according to Hamid Yazdan Panah, Advocacy Director for the California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice. In the Bay Area, “ICE enforcement happens on a daily basis,” said Panah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, organizations like Nuestra Casa regularly distribute “red cards” to undocumented immigrants that assert their constitutional rights. The first bullet point on many red cards reads, “NO ABRA LA PUERTA,\" or \"Don’t open the door.\" The second bullet point on many red cards reads, “NO CONTESTE NINGUNA PREGUNTA,” or \"Don’t answer any questions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These cards are aimed at undocumented immigrants who fear that ICE is knocking at their door. But if it’s a census enumerator, this advice makes counting near impossible. Nuestra Casa said it encourages immigrants to respond to census mailings, so that enumerators don’t need to come knocking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's going to be challenging. It's going to be hard,” said Im. “There's going to have to be a lot of people working together from every sector, from nonprofits and philanthropy to business to the faith communities. This is going to be an all-hands-on-deck effort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The move, which drew fierce opposition from some community groups fearing increased property values and gentrification, allowed the tech giant to move forward with its plans to develop more than 21 acres of land on several city-owned parcels near Diridon Station, a Caltrain stop, on the outskirts of the city's downtown. It's here that Google wants to create a transit-oriented complex of offices, homes, shops, restaurants and parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The massive project would take more than a decade to complete and is expected to bring more than 20,000 jobs by 2035.

And although the tech giant has acknowledged that the development will have major impacts on area rents and displacement, he said, \"they've yet to make binding commitments to how they're going to address their impact.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research also found that the amount of additional rent that San Jose residents will pay as a result of the new development will be more than five times what the city expects to collect in new property taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For its part, Google has pledged to build more affordable housing downtown, but has not offered specifics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re working closely and collaboratively with the city and many community groups on our future development in San Jose,\" Javier Gonzalez, a Google spokesman, said in a statement. \"As we do so, we know that housing is a vital issue and we're committed to invest in new housing in the area, including affordable housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company also noted the multiple contributions it has made to local housing and homeless organizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buchanan said that Google's investment in the Mountain View community, where the company is headquartered, shows that it has the capacity to offset the negative impacts of development. San Jose is giving Google a green light to rewrite plans for an incredibly lucrative piece of public land, he added, and the company has an obligation to make sure the community is protected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A tremendous amount of public resources are going into supporting Google's efforts around this development,\"Buchanan said. \"Google has an opportunity at this point to be a model for tech development, to develop without displacement and really to set a goal of ensuring that our communities have the freedom to remain and flourish ... and not be displaced by enormous rent increases.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Correction: An earlier version of this story attributed the report to \"Community Partnerships USA.\" The correct name of the organization is \"Working Partnerships USA.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The move, which drew fierce opposition from some community groups fearing increased property values and gentrification, allowed the tech giant to move forward with its plans to develop more than 21 acres of land on several city-owned parcels near Diridon Station, a Caltrain stop, on the outskirts of the city's downtown.

As state lawmakers debate measures that would \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-college-affordability-bill-tracker/\">allow homeless students to park overnight\u003c/a> on campus and receive housing vouchers, building dorms offers an alternate path, one that colleges can pursue on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it also means transforming the character of community college campuses and confronting thorny questions, such as how to actually make the units affordable to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Sierra College built, owns and manages its own residence hall, both Orange Coast College and Santa Rosa Junior College have opted for public-private partnerships with Servitas, a developer and The Scion Group, a management and consulting company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rents for the Santa Rosa project will be under $800 per bed, including utilities, or about 6% below market rate, said Pedro Avila, the school’s vice president of student services. He said the contract prohibits any rent increases without the college’s consent. Working with an experienced developer helped the college respond quickly after enrollment dropped in the wake of the wildfires, he said, as students unable to find housing began moving away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were at the point where it didn’t matter that we were able to provide support or vouchers, people were getting pushed out of the area,” said Avila. “We’re trying to do our part and increase the number of units available to our students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avila said he also hoped to find donors willing to subsidize rents for low-income students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colleges can sometimes underestimate the extra expenses that come with building housing, said \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/real-college-california-students-college-costs-food-financial-aid-goldrick-rab-hunger/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sara Goldrick-Rab\u003c/a>, a Temple University researcher who studies homelessness and food insecurity among students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With housing comes the need to build a whole bunch of other services. If you have students living on or around campus, they want campus dining to be open at different hours and they want libraries open at different hours,” she said. “It becomes a financial expense that is difficult for them to handle and ends up raising their prices even when they thought they wouldn’t be doing that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even a building with hundreds of beds might make only a small dent in the housing market on a campus with tens of thousands of students. Traditional dorm-style living doesn’t work for students with families of their own, and community colleges will need to decide which students get priority in applying for the rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s probably going to be the most difficult conversation we haven’t had yet,” said Avila.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community opposition can also derail a project. Last month, Ohlone College in Fremont scrapped plans for a mixed-use housing development after neighbors complained that it would worsen traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Colleges as social service agencies\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the challenges, some advocates say providing housing is simply part of community colleges’ expanding mission. With rampant income inequality darkening the prospects for many young Californians, they say, colleges must play the role of social service agency if they want to remove the obstacles that can prevent students from graduating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the approach taken by Compton College president Keith Curry. The college recently updated its master plan to include 500 beds of student housing. It already provides free breakfast and lunch to students during finals week, and Curry is lobbying to create a free lunch program for community college students statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our students are struggling; they need housing,” said Curry. “If we don’t do it, who’s going to do it for us? Who’s going to help the underserved? That’s our job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early evidence from a project in Washington State indicates that solving community college students’ housing woes can help them graduate. Tacoma Community College partnered with the local housing authority to subsidize housing for students at risk of homelessness. After the first year, 95% of the students who got the assistance remained enrolled in college, according to the housing authority, compared with 24% of applicants on the waitlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11754092\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/community-college-housing-PHOTO-2-e1560318521476.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11754092\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/community-college-housing-PHOTO-2-e1560318521476.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“It’s mainly that we want independence from our parents,” says Moe Irwin, whose disability benefits for a visual impairment cover his $925 per month shared dorm at Sierra College. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Community colleges have advantages that other affordable housing developers don’t, said Dana Cuff, a professor of architecture and director of UCLA’s CityLab, who is studying opportunities to build housing on Los Angeles Community College District campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every community college has land, either on their existing surface parking lots or in the air above their temporary classrooms,” she said. “And secondly, the zoning restrictions that apply elsewhere don’t apply.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The student housing of the future, she said, could include a range of options for different types of students: inexpensive hostels for super commuters who only need to stay at school a few nights a week, supportive housing for homeless students and cooperatives where residents reduce their housing costs by pitching in with cleaning and maintenance. Colleges can keep units affordable by developing their own expertise over time or working with non-profit developers, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Affordable housing isn’t an area where optimism reigns; it’s more like a battle,” she said. “But I feel positive that community colleges will make demonstration cases that others will learn from, and we’ll see a tipping point where community colleges will really see the advantages of providing housing for their students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story and other higher education coverage are supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

As state lawmakers debate measures that would \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-college-affordability-bill-tracker/\">allow homeless students to park overnight\u003c/a> on campus and receive housing vouchers, building dorms offers an alternate path, one that colleges can pursue on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it also means transforming the character of community college campuses and confronting thorny questions, such as how to actually make the units affordable to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Sierra College built, owns and manages its own residence hall, both Orange Coast College and Santa Rosa Junior College have opted for public-private partnerships with Servitas, a developer and The Scion Group, a management and consulting company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rents for the Santa Rosa project will be under $800 per bed, including utilities, or about 6% below market rate, said Pedro Avila, the school’s vice president of student services. He said the contract prohibits any rent increases without the college’s consent. Working with an experienced developer helped the college respond quickly after enrollment dropped in the wake of the wildfires, he said, as students unable to find housing began moving away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were at the point where it didn’t matter that we were able to provide support or vouchers, people were getting pushed out of the area,” said Avila. “We’re trying to do our part and increase the number of units available to our students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avila said he also hoped to find donors willing to subsidize rents for low-income students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colleges can sometimes underestimate the extra expenses that come with building housing, said \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/real-college-california-students-college-costs-food-financial-aid-goldrick-rab-hunger/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sara Goldrick-Rab\u003c/a>, a Temple University researcher who studies homelessness and food insecurity among students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With housing comes the need to build a whole bunch of other services. If you have students living on or around campus, they want campus dining to be open at different hours and they want libraries open at different hours,” she said. “It becomes a financial expense that is difficult for them to handle and ends up raising their prices even when they thought they wouldn’t be doing that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even a building with hundreds of beds might make only a small dent in the housing market on a campus with tens of thousands of students. Traditional dorm-style living doesn’t work for students with families of their own, and community colleges will need to decide which students get priority in applying for the rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s probably going to be the most difficult conversation we haven’t had yet,” said Avila.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community opposition can also derail a project. Last month, Ohlone College in Fremont scrapped plans for a mixed-use housing development after neighbors complained that it would worsen traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Colleges as social service agencies\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the challenges, some advocates say providing housing is simply part of community colleges’ expanding mission. With rampant income inequality darkening the prospects for many young Californians, they say, colleges must play the role of social service agency if they want to remove the obstacles that can prevent students from graduating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the approach taken by Compton College president Keith Curry. The college recently updated its master plan to include 500 beds of student housing. It already provides free breakfast and lunch to students during finals week, and Curry is lobbying to create a free lunch program for community college students statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our students are struggling; they need housing,” said Curry. “If we don’t do it, who’s going to do it for us? Who’s going to help the underserved? That’s our job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early evidence from a project in Washington State indicates that solving community college students’ housing woes can help them graduate. Tacoma Community College partnered with the local housing authority to subsidize housing for students at risk of homelessness. After the first year, 95% of the students who got the assistance remained enrolled in college, according to the housing authority, compared with 24% of applicants on the waitlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11754092\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/community-college-housing-PHOTO-2-e1560318521476.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11754092\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/community-college-housing-PHOTO-2-e1560318521476.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“It’s mainly that we want independence from our parents,” says Moe Irwin, whose disability benefits for a visual impairment cover his $925 per month shared dorm at Sierra College. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Community colleges have advantages that other affordable housing developers don’t, said Dana Cuff, a professor of architecture and director of UCLA’s CityLab, who is studying opportunities to build housing on Los Angeles Community College District campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every community college has land, either on their existing surface parking lots or in the air above their temporary classrooms,” she said. “And secondly, the zoning restrictions that apply elsewhere don’t apply.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The student housing of the future, she said, could include a range of options for different types of students: inexpensive hostels for super commuters who only need to stay at school a few nights a week, supportive housing for homeless students and cooperatives where residents reduce their housing costs by pitching in with cleaning and maintenance.

And they are exploring private financing models to avoid the difficult and lengthy process of applying for government tax credits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faith communities could be the perfect test drivers of less conventional construction models that traditional affordable housing developers have been wary of, Ball said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Should construction delays occur for whatever reason, that could potentially compromise their entire finance structure for the project,” she said. “So that’s too big a risk for the traditional affordable housing developers really to take.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, Ball and Theisen presented their YIGBY proposal to the Community Planners Committee, which represents San Diego’s neighborhood planning groups. Wally Wulfeck, of the committee, said the presentation was well received and members were interested in the initiative’s progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then last week, Ball and Theisen met with San Diego city staffers to discuss how the city can speed up approval of housing on religious properties. Planning Department director Mike Hansen said in an email that the city welcomes the support of faith leaders in addressing the housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[aside tag='affordable-housing' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/span>“This is a promising concept and the city is in discussions with the YIGBY team as well as other affordable housing stakeholders about how the city can make the process easier, faster and less expensive,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doolittle hesitated to predict when the housing might be complete, given the number of roadblocks the church has already hit. But he said he is not expecting serious resistance from neighbors, in part because of the small scale of their housing plans and the church’s decades-long relationship with the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s our calling, it’s our responsibility to be neighbors to those who are around us and to be neighborly to those who need a hand up,” Doolittle said. “As God always says yes to God’s people, we too need to say yes to those who are in need.”\u003c/p>\n\n",
