So it’s a very, very home vibe,” Program Director Kate Horsting says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LifeMoves Director of Client Experience De Anna Garcia organized the staff training program after noticing a significant need for it. Those experiencing homelessness are faced with unique challenges. Some have been rejected by their families or support systems, leaving them isolated. They face \u003ca href=\"https://www.hrc.org/resources/understanding-intimate-partner-violence-in-the-lgbtq-community\">higher rates\u003c/a> of intimate partner violence and increased vulnerability to violence on the streets. Traditional shelters can also pose safety risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia says that while there are a number of resources geared toward LGBTQ+ youth or young adults, options dwindle with age. “We have a lot of data that suggests that LGBTQ youth are overrepresented in the unhoused community, and those youth become adults. That doesn’t just disappear, right?”[aside postID=news_12078932 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/04/033026Trans-affordability-_GH_010_qed.jpg']Many of New Haven Inn’s residents have aged out of those services, and Garcia says it’s nice to see intergenerational friendships develop in the shared communal living room, where residents gather on sofas and at a shared table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The staff-to-resident-ratio at New Haven is also high, ranging from eight to 10 people each night, and the shelter is open 24 hours a day with extended case management hours. Most residents are there for a four-month stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new training program staff aims to cultivate support and acceptance. That starts with using language that affirms residents’ identities, Garcia says. \u003cstrong>“\u003c/strong>That’s the big question mark that a lot of [staff] are just scared to say the wrong thing or use the wrong terminology.

Those experiencing homelessness are faced with unique challenges. Some have been rejected by their families or support systems, leaving them isolated. They face \u003ca href=\"https://www.hrc.org/resources/understanding-intimate-partner-violence-in-the-lgbtq-community\">higher rates\u003c/a> of intimate partner violence and increased vulnerability to violence on the streets. Traditional shelters can also pose safety risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia says that while there are a number of resources geared toward LGBTQ+ youth or young adults, options dwindle with age. “We have a lot of data that suggests that LGBTQ youth are overrepresented in the unhoused community, and those youth become adults. That doesn’t just disappear, right?”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He was married in the church 18 years ago, and his father was baptized there. “This church means a lot to me and my family, and it’s like losing a friend,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ricardo Villoria, president of the Central California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, stressed that the congregation, not the structure, is the church.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This church is going to come back from the ashes,” Villoria said. “It will come back stronger, and it will come united.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The building’s history reaches back to the denomination’s earliest days in California. Ferrell said church pioneers Ellen and James White used $6,000 from the sale of their home to build the first Adventist church in San Francisco, on Laguna Street, and its pulpit — where many early leaders preached — was moved to the current site when the congregation relocated in 1927. That pulpit survived the fire and is being restored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just a really strong connection to the power of God at our church,” Ferrell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Daniel Lurie praised the response in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaOF3vcv4L5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\">social media post\u003c/a>, writing that “the coordination was incredible” and that firefighters “helped contain that fire over the course of many, many hours.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire prompted a shelter-in-place order, street closures and a power shutoff in the surrounding area, according to the church. The cause remains under official investigation by the fire department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the congregation of around 300 will worship at the nearby San Francisco Philadelphian Seventh-day Adventist Church.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The church is not a building,” the Central California Conference communication office wrote in a statement, “but a community of believers united in Christ.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/jlara\">\u003cem>Juan Carlos Lara\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
