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.",

By changing that definition, the initiative would limit who’s eligible for release from state prison and potentially result in more offenders being sentenced to state prison instead of county jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now California crimes that are considered nonserious and nonviolent — and that allow you to get out of jail or prison earlier — are drugging and raping somebody, raping a developmentally disabled person, spousal abuse, a drive-by shooting, human trafficking of a child. So a myriad of different crimes, some 17 to be exact,” Cooper said. “The public never had any idea. These were not considered serious or violent crimes in the state of California. When they hear it they’re shocked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper is referring to Proposition 57, a 2016 ballot measure written by Brown that made it easier for prisoners who participate in rehabilitation programs to win release. The initiative applied only to people convicted of crimes considered nonviolent under state law — a short list created years ago that in fact does exclude some heinous-sounding offenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brown says the list of so-called violent crimes includes only a handful of the 5,000 crimes on the books in California and that critics could keep adding new ones “virtually forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the goal of Proposition 57 was simply to give prisoners an opportunity and incentive to participate in rehabilitation programs — under the measure, inmates who do so are more likely to be granted parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The point is, should people who spent 10 or 20 years in prison have a chance at parole?” he said, noting that the parole board rejects 75 percent of releases and is made up mostly of retired law enforcement, who consider someone’s criminal past and how they have behaved in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor said removing the opportunity for rehabilitation and release gives power to prison gangs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unless there is an option, like ‘Stay away from the gangs and you can get out of prison earlier,’ then the gangs hold full sway and the prison authorities have no alternate reward,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since before the governor took office in 2011, California has been under a federal court order to reduce its prison population by 40,000 inmates. Lawmakers and voters have passed a series of criminal justice reforms over the past seven years, several crafted by Brown, that have aimed to reduce that population and help offenders succeed both while they’re incarcerated and once they’re released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two that stand to be watered down the most under this proposed ballot measure are 2016’s Proposition 57, which gave the parole board more discretion in prison release decisions; and Proposition 47, a 2014 ballot measure that reduced most drug possession felonies to misdemeanors and raised the threshold for felony shoplifting theft from $450 to $950.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Retailers complain that change has resulted in an explosion of organized retail theft rings.

"content": "\u003cp>When Gov. Jerry Brown was sworn in seven years ago, he inherited a prison system that by most accounts was at a breaking point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years of “tough on crime” laws had packed state lockups to the brim. Federal judges \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/24/us/24scotus.html\">told California leaders they needed to reduce the prison population by 40,000 inmates\u003c/a>, or else the court would start releasing prisoners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So one of Brown’s first big moves as governor was a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2011/04/05/news16964/\">proposal to massively change how the state dealt with nonviolent offenders\u003c/a>: Assembly Bill 109 shifted their sentences from state prison to county jails, and let them report to county probation departments rather than state parole officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters, including state Sen. Mark Leno, said the change — dubbed “criminal justice realignment” — would let the state save money, reduce crowding and tackle its dismal recidivism rate, which saw 70 percent of offenders return to prison within three years of release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leno, a San Francisco Democrat, carried the \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201120120AB109\">663-page realignment bill\u003c/a> through the Senate, a proposal that Republicans opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we can all acknowledge we have a failed very expensive system currently,” Leno told lawmakers during a March 2011 debate. “For example, if someone has a drug or alcohol problem, currently when they fail parole, we send them back to state prison at a cost of about $50,000 a year. And guess what — we’re not dealing with the problem. Locals, with the funding we will be providing, will be able to invest in a variety of different programs, to get to the core of the problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The success of realignment \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11108031/five-years-later-many-see-criminal-justice-realignment-as-success\">is still being debated\u003c/a>. But it’s clear that the bill was just the beginning of a series of sweeping criminal justice reforms California would embrace over Brown’s two terms in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Where the candidates stand\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>“As governor, I will reverse the soft-on-crime laws of Jerry Brown and the California Democrats. Liberal laws like AB 109 and Propositions 47 and 57 have released thousands of criminals and sex offenders from jails and prisons and into our neighborhoods, feeding the explosion of homeless encampments, drug users and criminals in our neighborhoods.”\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Travis Allen\u003c/cite>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>“As governor, I will help lead the difficult conversations that must happen between law enforcement and communities of color and emphasize a community-oriented approach to policing that builds stronger relationships and understanding.”\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>John Chiang\u003c/cite>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>“I’d take a very different approach than Jerry Brown’s.

Brown has named a far \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10869617/browns-judicial-appointments-reflect-shift-away-from-harsh-sentencing-policies\">more diverse set of judges\u003c/a> and parole board members than his predecessors, and allowed \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2014/mar/19/governor-brown-releasing-more-lifers/\">a record number of parole releases to go forward.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The appointments to the bench do have a very important, long-term effect,” said Kent Scheidegger, legal director of the conservative Criminal Justice Legal Foundation and a critic of Brown’s approach to criminal justice. “It’s a gradual one that doesn’t necessarily show up right away. But I think we are seeing California courts generally, and the California Supreme Court in particular, being more receptive to arguments made by defendants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scheidegger said the governor’s political power — and fundraising strength — have also had an impact. Brown has put his sizable war chest behind promoting changes at the ballot box like 2016’s Proposition 57.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That measure chipped away at a legacy from Brown’s first terms as governor that many blame for the prison overcrowding: determinate sentencing, which sets a fixed prison term at the time of conviction. Proposition 57 gave the parole board more discretion on when to release an inmate. Scheidegger opposed Proposition 57, and believes the governor is “fundamentally mistaken on a lot of sentencing issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But criminal justice reform advocates like Lenore Anderson believe the changes of the last seven years are only the beginning. Anderson is director of Californians for Safety and Justice, which wrote Proposition 47.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s been so exciting to see in California over the last few years is the popularity of criminal justice reform being demonstrated at the ballot,” she said. “Realignment was enacted through the Legislature and at the time the common-sense thinking was that the public may not be ready for criminal justice reform. But what we found out through Prop. 47 and Prop. 57 is the reverse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson believes the next governor should tackle something that seemed impossible just seven years ago: closing state prisons and finally reducing the amount of money Californians spend on incarceration.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But I think we are seeing California courts generally, and the California Supreme Court in particular, being more receptive to arguments made by defendants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scheidegger said the governor’s political power — and fundraising strength — have also had an impact. Brown has put his sizable war chest behind promoting changes at the ballot box like 2016’s Proposition 57.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That measure chipped away at a legacy from Brown’s first terms as governor that many blame for the prison overcrowding: determinate sentencing, which sets a fixed prison term at the time of conviction. Proposition 57 gave the parole board more discretion on when to release an inmate. Scheidegger opposed Proposition 57, and believes the governor is “fundamentally mistaken on a lot of sentencing issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But criminal justice reform advocates like Lenore Anderson believe the changes of the last seven years are only the beginning.

At the table was Los Alamitos Mayor Troy Edgar, whose city declared itself exempt from the state’s sanctuary law in April. The law, SB 54, prohibits state and local police from helping federal authorities with immigration enforcement in many cases.

We’ll discuss the governor’s race, in which President Trump just endorsed Republican candidate John Cox, as well as the increasingly heated San Francisco mayor’s race. We’ll also look at congressional races and statewide ballot measures, including a proposition that would require revenue from a new gas tax to be spent only on transportation projects and another that would give tax relief to homeowners who invest in rainwater capture systems. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, KQED politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, KQED politics and government reporter and producer\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scott Shafer, KQED politics and government senior editor\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cannabis Tax Revenue and Updated Regulations\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last week, Gov.

At the table was Los Alamitos Mayor Troy Edgar, whose city declared itself exempt from the state’s sanctuary law in April. The law, SB 54, prohibits state and local police from helping federal authorities with immigration enforcement in many cases. We get a report from Mayor Edgar on his visit to the White House.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>California Primary Election 2018\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the June 5 primary around the corner, we get analysis from KQED’s Politics and Government team. We’ll discuss the governor’s race, in which President Trump just endorsed Republican candidate John Cox, as well as the increasingly heated San Francisco mayor’s race. We’ll also look at congressional races and statewide ballot measures, including a proposition that would require revenue from a new gas tax to be spent only on transportation projects and another that would give tax relief to homeowners who invest in rainwater capture systems. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, KQED politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, KQED politics and government reporter and producer\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scott Shafer, KQED politics and government senior editor\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cannabis Tax Revenue and Updated Regulations\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last week, Gov. Jerry Brown released a revised state budget that included $14 million to crack down on illegal cannabis sales, while state tax revenue from the legal cannabis industry has been lower than projected. The steep cost of obtaining permits, and the number of cities and counties that still don’t allow legal marijuana activity, are contributing to a still-thriving illicit market for marijuana.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">David Downs, freelance cannabis journalist\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Josh Drayton, California Cannabis Industry Association spokesperson\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So why do thousands of beds run by the biggest homeless agencies go empty at night?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KPCC\u003c/a> investigation found reports of bedbugs, rats, foul odors, poor lighting, harassment, lax care in medical wards and even a “chicken incubator” in a room where homeless people were sleeping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public documents — including monitoring reports from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), health department inspections, coroner reports, surveys from the Department of Mental Health and police reports — reveal safety and sanitation problems in shelters around the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reviews conducted at 60 shelters funded by LAHSA last year found more than half — 33 — were not filling all of their beds. Overall, LAHSA-funded shelters had a 78 percent utilization rate, well below the 90 percent required in their contracts. Monitors also found that 25 of those facilities were failing to meet the minimum standards required by their contracts to get people off the streets for good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KPCC found that negative monitoring reports, health citations and grievance complaints rarely result in a shelter being shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some shelters raise philanthropic dollars on their own to improve living conditions in their buildings. Those that don’t receive public dollars operate with little to no public accountability at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of accountability for meeting quality and service benchmarks raises questions about what taxpayers are paying for with the hundreds of millions of dollars in Measure H funding now flowing through LAHSA and other public agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Who is looking out for the people officials say they are trying to help?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are about 16,600 shelter beds in L.A. County. They’re almost always run by private nonprofit and faith organizations. Many have contracts with federal, local, and state government agencies that pay for beds for mental health clients, veterans, and other populations they serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result is a patchwork system of oversight. No single public entity is charged with making sure shelters are clean, safe places to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LAHSA officials told KPCC the agency has plans to improve shelter quality in L.A. The status quo, however, is not pretty.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Rats, Roaches, Bedbugs, Mold\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Craig Aslin tried the whole homeless shelter thing, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Specifically, he tried The House of Hope, a boarding home in Jefferson Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sucked,” he said. “I got [eaten] up with bedbugs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Aslin left and ended up in a tent on a hilly median off Franklin and Vine in Hollywood. Why? He says his tent is cleaner, he doesn’t have to deal with people he doesn’t like, and he can come and go as he pleases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I live better now than I did then, I mean for real,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11668656\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/CraigAslin-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Craig Aslin is originally from Virginia.

It did find 17 other health code violations, including evidence of rats, roaches, suspected mold and issues with waste storage and disposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public health department said it does follow-up inspections and sends compliance letters to shelters.

Because the shelter she stayed in didn’t receive LAHSA funding, the grievance she filed with the agency bounced back. Turning Point did receive Department of Mental Health funding, but Zurawska was not a mental health client. That meant she did not have recourse with that agency. Eventually she complained to the city of Santa Monica, which helps fund Turning Point, but she said that was a dead end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alisa Orduña, Santa Monica’s senior adviser on homelessness, said complaints about the shelters it funds are taken seriously. But first clients are required to exhaust whatever internal complaint system the shelter has before turning to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zurawska said the grievance process was confusing and hard to navigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This population has no rights and no voice, really, and somebody has to do something about it,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garrow of the ACLU agrees that clients need an accessible, visible, neutral third party to appeal to if shelters are going to be more effective going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Staff really have too much power over clients and clients really have no recourse when staff treat them in a denigrating or disrespectful manner other than to submit a complaint to the very organization that’s mistreating them,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For its part, LAHSA, which administers the majority of homeless service contracts in the county, does not have a uniform policy on when it is appropriate to terminate a client from a program. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency does review each shelter’s policy, if it funds the shelter, said Chris Callandrillo, director of procurement and performance management. It does not have reliable data on how many people are kicked out of shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Shelters Do Improve, When They Want To\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A startling claim was buried deep inside a client satisfaction report filed on Jan. 5, 2018 by a Department of Mental Health client. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The client gave the shelter run by the nonprofit L.A. Family Housing largely high marks when asked whether to agree or disagree with statements like, “I have generally positive interactions with staff” and “I receive toiletries when I need them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then in the comments section, the client wrote: “Someone got stabbed in their room. This place feels like a jail with an open door.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stephanie Klasky-Gamer, the president of L.A. Family Housing, confirmed the stabbing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was an incredibly sad — and scary — but sad day here,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was also a learning opportunity. The shelter switched security companies — bags were already searched and people searched with a wand on entry, but a knife had gotten in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency also revamped its procedures for checking clients, from “every person, every day,” to “every room, every day” — meaning staff members now need to enter every room on the property on a daily basis to check on clients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It also allowed us to see things that were getting in that shouldn’t have,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of those changes were required by the myriad agencies that monitor L.A. Family Housing: the Veterans Administration, LAHSA, the L.A. County Department of Mental Health, L.A. County Department of Health Services, several individual cities and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other shelters may also want to improve, she said, but might not have the expertise or resources to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would not say that any of our colleagues don’t care,” she said. “I think when you have really limited resources, there are places you cut back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Klasky-Gamer said auditors visit the shelters roughly three times a week, generally performing one of three types of check: financial audits, programmatic audits and physical audits. There’s so much monitoring that the space-crunched agency even has a room dedicated to files in its main campus building in North Hollywood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she wishes one agency was tasked with taking the lead on auditing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I don’t begrudge oversight,” she said. “These are public dollars and this is a public benefit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some major issues are not addressed, however, in all the monitoring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LAHSA reports do not directly address safety issues beyond emergency evacuation plans, fire extinguishers and cleanliness. The agency said it requires shelters to report incidents of violence and then passes that information to whatever entity — like the city or county or federal government — that funds the shelter’s contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orlando Ward of the VOA said the decentralized system for regulating shelters can be frustrating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We may suffer from not only a lack of a uniform set of standards, but differing levels of accountability and, in some instances, a lack of direction,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York City, Philadelphia and San Francisco have “cabinet level” officers dedicated to addressing homelessness, he said, which helps them organize and build a common mission and set of best practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A. has nothing comparable. There’s more coordination than ever before in L.A., but not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still must build a common vision with 15 council districts, a mayor and five county supervisors,” Ward said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Callandrillo said such a system would be hard to reproduce in decentralized Los Angeles, with its numerous municipalities, multiple funding sources for shelters and wide geography.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the small city of San Francisco, it’s doable,” he said. “Within a region like L.A. County, which is 400 square miles, it’s just not a manageable model. And to do it regionally, like we do other services, would probably cost a lot of money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear what it takes for a shelter to lose its contract with LAHSA, which works with dozens of agencies. Callandrillo said that it’s happened three times in the past four years. Even as thousands of beds sit empty, the overall number of available beds is too small to risk losing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11668711\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/AliceMyles-800x541.jpg\" alt=\"Alice Myles, 61, used to be a nurse before becoming homeless.

County and the city of L.A. — through Proposition HHH and a new developer fee for affordable housing — are putting hundreds of millions of dollars into the construction of permanent housing. Providers, however, are still struggling to find enough spots for clients, and construction will take time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti has proposed funneling $20 million in city funds into creating “temporary” homeless shelters in each of the city’s 15 council districts. A neighborhood that accepts a shelter, in turn, has been promised additional sanitation resources and police attention to ensure that it stays free of encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every homeless Angeleno needs a safe, clean, place to sleep at night,” Anna Bahr, the mayor’s deputy press secretary, said. “Each new site will have unprecedented service delivery: 24/7 security, mental health professionals, employment specialists, and anti-addiction experts. The mayor’s office will be monitoring each site closely, to ensure they remain safe and clean.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A. County is also poised to shift more funds from Measure H, a new quarter-cent sales tax for homeless services, into interim housing like shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LAHSA has recently upped the rate it pays shelters to improve quality. That money is intended to fund more robust services and amenities on site — what the industry calls “bridge housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a key change if the goal remains finding permanent housing and jobs for as many of the region’s homeless people as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move appears to have merit. LAHSA figures show that for the past year, about 39 percent of those in bridge housing have moved on to permanent homes. For those in traditional shelters, the number was 17 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 2,000 clients were in bridge housing during that period, while 12,000 lived in standard shelters. In all, close to 60,000 people lack permanent housing in the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU’s Garrow says the goal of getting people back on their feet and into permanent housing is not easy. That makes conditions in shelters that much more important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The promise is that they’re temporary, but so often it’s a broken promise,” Garrow said. “We have to ensure that shelters are humane and held to the highest possible standards because people will be living in them for a long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Alex Derosier contributed to this report.

Because the shelter she stayed in didn’t receive LAHSA funding, the grievance she filed with the agency bounced back. Turning Point did receive Department of Mental Health funding, but Zurawska was not a mental health client. That meant she did not have recourse with that agency. Eventually she complained to the city of Santa Monica, which helps fund Turning Point, but she said that was a dead end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alisa Orduña, Santa Monica’s senior adviser on homelessness, said complaints about the shelters it funds are taken seriously. But first clients are required to exhaust whatever internal complaint system the shelter has before turning to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zurawska said the grievance process was confusing and hard to navigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This population has no rights and no voice, really, and somebody has to do something about it,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garrow of the ACLU agrees that clients need an accessible, visible, neutral third party to appeal to if shelters are going to be more effective going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Staff really have too much power over clients and clients really have no recourse when staff treat them in a denigrating or disrespectful manner other than to submit a complaint to the very organization that’s mistreating them,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For its part, LAHSA, which administers the majority of homeless service contracts in the county, does not have a uniform policy on when it is appropriate to terminate a client from a program. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency does review each shelter’s policy, if it funds the shelter, said Chris Callandrillo, director of procurement and performance management. It does not have reliable data on how many people are kicked out of shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Shelters Do Improve, When They Want To\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A startling claim was buried deep inside a client satisfaction report filed on Jan. 5, 2018 by a Department of Mental Health client. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The client gave the shelter run by the nonprofit L.A. Family Housing largely high marks when asked whether to agree or disagree with statements like, “I have generally positive interactions with staff” and “I receive toiletries when I need them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then in the comments section, the client wrote: “Someone got stabbed in their room. This place feels like a jail with an open door.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stephanie Klasky-Gamer, the president of L.A. Family Housing, confirmed the stabbing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was an incredibly sad — and scary — but sad day here,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was also a learning opportunity. The shelter switched security companies — bags were already searched and people searched with a wand on entry, but a knife had gotten in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency also revamped its procedures for checking clients, from “every person, every day,” to “every room, every day” — meaning staff members now need to enter every room on the property on a daily basis to check on clients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It also allowed us to see things that were getting in that shouldn’t have,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of those changes were required by the myriad agencies that monitor L.A. Family Housing: the Veterans Administration, LAHSA, the L.A. County Department of Mental Health, L.A. County Department of Health Services, several individual cities and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other shelters may also want to improve, she said, but might not have the expertise or resources to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would not say that any of our colleagues don’t care,” she said. “I think when you have really limited resources, there are places you cut back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Klasky-Gamer said auditors visit the shelters roughly three times a week, generally performing one of three types of check: financial audits, programmatic audits and physical audits. There’s so much monitoring that the space-crunched agency even has a room dedicated to files in its main campus building in North Hollywood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she wishes one agency was tasked with taking the lead on auditing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I don’t begrudge oversight,” she said. “These are public dollars and this is a public benefit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some major issues are not addressed, however, in all the monitoring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LAHSA reports do not directly address safety issues beyond emergency evacuation plans, fire extinguishers and cleanliness. The agency said it requires shelters to report incidents of violence and then passes that information to whatever entity — like the city or county or federal government — that funds the shelter’s contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orlando Ward of the VOA said the decentralized system for regulating shelters can be frustrating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We may suffer from not only a lack of a uniform set of standards, but differing levels of accountability and, in some instances, a lack of direction,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York City, Philadelphia and San Francisco have “cabinet level” officers dedicated to addressing homelessness, he said, which helps them organize and build a common mission and set of best practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A. has nothing comparable. There’s more coordination than ever before in L.A., but not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still must build a common vision with 15 council districts, a mayor and five county supervisors,” Ward said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Callandrillo said such a system would be hard to reproduce in decentralized Los Angeles, with its numerous municipalities, multiple funding sources for shelters and wide geography.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the small city of San Francisco, it’s doable,” he said. “Within a region like L.A. County, which is 400 square miles, it’s just not a manageable model. And to do it regionally, like we do other services, would probably cost a lot of money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear what it takes for a shelter to lose its contract with LAHSA, which works with dozens of agencies. Callandrillo said that it’s happened three times in the past four years. Even as thousands of beds sit empty, the overall number of available beds is too small to risk losing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11668711\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/AliceMyles-800x541.jpg\" alt=\"Alice Myles, 61, used to be a nurse before becoming homeless.

Providers, however, are still struggling to find enough spots for clients, and construction will take time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti has proposed funneling $20 million in city funds into creating “temporary” homeless shelters in each of the city’s 15 council districts. A neighborhood that accepts a shelter, in turn, has been promised additional sanitation resources and police attention to ensure that it stays free of encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every homeless Angeleno needs a safe, clean, place to sleep at night,” Anna Bahr, the mayor’s deputy press secretary, said. “Each new site will have unprecedented service delivery: 24/7 security, mental health professionals, employment specialists, and anti-addiction experts. The mayor’s office will be monitoring each site closely, to ensure they remain safe and clean.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A. County is also poised to shift more funds from Measure H, a new quarter-cent sales tax for homeless services, into interim housing like shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LAHSA has recently upped the rate it pays shelters to improve quality. That money is intended to fund more robust services and amenities on site — what the industry calls “bridge housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a key change if the goal remains finding permanent housing and jobs for as many of the region’s homeless people as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move appears to have merit. LAHSA figures show that for the past year, about 39 percent of those in bridge housing have moved on to permanent homes. For those in traditional shelters, the number was 17 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 2,000 clients were in bridge housing during that period, while 12,000 lived in standard shelters. In all, close to 60,000 people lack permanent housing in the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU’s Garrow says the goal of getting people back on their feet and into permanent housing is not easy. That makes conditions in shelters that much more important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The promise is that they’re temporary, but so often it’s a broken promise,” Garrow said. “We have to ensure that shelters are humane and held to the highest possible standards because people will be living in them for a long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He was initially booked into jail last May and charged with burglary, robbery, elder abuse and theft. Humphrey has remained in custody since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors Allison Macbeth and Courtney Burris had \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4451990-Request-for-Detention-180413.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sought to keep\u003c/a> Humphrey in jail, citing previous robbery convictions going back to the 1980s, which they said showed that Humphrey was a threat to public safety and had a pattern of preying on vulnerable victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only does he not follow the rules, but he commits more crimes,” Burris said during a hearing on the case Tuesday. “The idea of releasing him to another residential facility for seniors creates a fox-in-the-hen-house scenario.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Macbeth said Humphrey is facing a 41-year-to-life sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Brendan Conroy, however, agreed Thursday to grant Deputy Public Defender Anita Nabha’s request that Humphrey be released to a Mission District residential recovery facility for seniors, which has already agreed to take him in. He will remain out of custody — as long as he abides by the conditions of his release — while he awaits trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He has no police contact for 11 years prior to this incident,” Nabha argued. “The suggestion that he has not been able to be successful on parole is just not true.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conroy said from the bench that if his only choice was to release Humphrey on his own recognizance or detain him, Humphrey would remain in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a detention case,” Conroy said. “This isn’t about poor people being kept in jail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge noted the seriousness of the charges against Humphrey, but he also said that new options for conditions on his release have emerged in the past year. That includes the option for free electronic monitoring through the city’s Sheriff’s Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humphrey will be put on house arrest, meaning he can’t leave the treatment facility, will be monitored electronically 24 hours a day and be subject to searches, Conroy ruled. Additionally, he is to stay away from the victim in the case and the Turk Street residential senior facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After issuing his ruling, Conroy told Humphrey that he’d “become somewhat of a symbol.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot is on your shoulders,” Conroy said. “I wish you all the best.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside of court, Nabha said of Humphrey, “He’s obviously very happy that he’s going to be able to continue this fight outside of jail and continue to work on his health and progress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a monumental decision today by the judge, and we’re very grateful that he is abiding by the new law and he’s recognizing that this case, Mr. Humphrey’s case, changed state law,” Public Defender Jeff Adachi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his 2017 arrest, Humphrey’s bail had initially been set at $600,000 based on the state’s bail schedule, but a judge eventually lowered it to $350,000 after the San Francisco public defender’s office argued that the initial amount was excessive and that Humphrey did not pose a risk to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, after reviewing Humphrey’s case, the state appeals court ruled that a judge must consider the defendant’s ability to pay when setting bail. Setting bail higher than a person can afford effectively jails the defendant for being poor, the ruling concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón has been in favor of changing the money bail system, he sent a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4451989-Letter-to-Supreme-Court.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter\u003c/a> last month to the state Supreme Court requesting clarification on conflicting appellate rulings, and arguing courts should still be allowed to consider a threat to public safety when setting bail amounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The District Attorney’s Office has championed the use of an algorithmic “\u003ca href=\"http://sfdistrictattorney.org/public-safety-assessment-tool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">public safety assessment\u003c/a>” tool, which analyzes a defendant’s criminal history and current charges and measures it against thousands of other cases. The tool then makes a recommendation on whether a defendant should be held in jail or released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to make these very important decisions based on science and data, not money,” district attorney spokesman Max Szabo said, noting that the tool recommended Humphrey remain in jail. “We believe that’s a safer approach, but that doesn’t mean everybody gets out either.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It looks like Kenneth Humphrey will be released, however, by Wednesday. The state Supreme Court has until the end of this month to decide whether it will weigh in on the constitutionality of monetary bail, according to Boudin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post contains reporting from Bay City News.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Alex Emslie of KQED News contributed to this post.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He will remain out of custody — as long as he abides by the conditions of his release — while he awaits trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He has no police contact for 11 years prior to this incident,” Nabha argued. “The suggestion that he has not been able to be successful on parole is just not true.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conroy said from the bench that if his only choice was to release Humphrey on his own recognizance or detain him, Humphrey would remain in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a detention case,” Conroy said. “This isn’t about poor people being kept in jail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge noted the seriousness of the charges against Humphrey, but he also said that new options for conditions on his release have emerged in the past year. That includes the option for free electronic monitoring through the city’s Sheriff’s Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humphrey will be put on house arrest, meaning he can’t leave the treatment facility, will be monitored electronically 24 hours a day and be subject to searches, Conroy ruled. Additionally, he is to stay away from the victim in the case and the Turk Street residential senior facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After issuing his ruling, Conroy told Humphrey that he’d “become somewhat of a symbol.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot is on your shoulders,” Conroy said. “I wish you all the best.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside of court, Nabha said of Humphrey, “He’s obviously very happy that he’s going to be able to continue this fight outside of jail and continue to work on his health and progress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a monumental decision today by the judge, and we’re very grateful that he is abiding by the new law and he’s recognizing that this case, Mr. Humphrey’s case, changed state law,” Public Defender Jeff Adachi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his 2017 arrest, Humphrey’s bail had initially been set at $600,000 based on the state’s bail schedule, but a judge eventually lowered it to $350,000 after the San Francisco public defender’s office argued that the initial amount was excessive and that Humphrey did not pose a risk to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, after reviewing Humphrey’s case, the state appeals court ruled that a judge must consider the defendant’s ability to pay when setting bail. Setting bail higher than a person can afford effectively jails the defendant for being poor, the ruling concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón has been in favor of changing the money bail system, he sent a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4451989-Letter-to-Supreme-Court.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter\u003c/a> last month to the state Supreme Court requesting clarification on conflicting appellate rulings, and arguing courts should still be allowed to consider a threat to public safety when setting bail amounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The District Attorney’s Office has championed the use of an algorithmic “\u003ca href=\"http://sfdistrictattorney.org/public-safety-assessment-tool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">public safety assessment\u003c/a>” tool, which analyzes a defendant’s criminal history and current charges and measures it against thousands of other cases. The tool then makes a recommendation on whether a defendant should be held in jail or released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to make these very important decisions based on science and data, not money,” district attorney spokesman Max Szabo said, noting that the tool recommended Humphrey remain in jail. “We believe that’s a safer approach, but that doesn’t mean everybody gets out either.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It looks like Kenneth Humphrey will be released, however, by Wednesday. The state Supreme Court has until the end of this month to decide whether it will weigh in on the constitutionality of monetary bail, according to Boudin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post contains reporting from Bay City News.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Alex Emslie of KQED News contributed to this post.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
