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

"content": "\u003cp>Christopher Wray's friends and mentors use one word to describe him: steady.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That trait could come in handy at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, where employees have been reeling since President Trump fired Director James Comey two months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wray, 50, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/07/531868762/christopher-wray-is-trumps-nominee-to-be-the-new-fbi-director\">has spent years\u003c/a> working in and around the U.S. Justice Department, making national security policy and overseeing cases against corrupt business executives. But he's operated outside the spotlight, by design.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taking a job where his predecessor was dismissed under questionable circumstances and with miles to go on his 10-year term is a bit out of character. But Michael Luttig, who's known Wray for decades, said he's making the right choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Chris is exactly the person both the country and the FBI need at this time in our history,\" said Luttig, a former federal appeals court judge who hired Wray to serve as his law clerk. \"Chris is fiercely independent; he is a man of unquestioned integrity, and he has impeccable judgment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senators on the Judiciary Committee are expected to press that point, among others, during Wray's confirmation hearing on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luttig said Wray will steer the FBI and its agents away from political firestorms and focus on the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, the FBI Agents Association agreed, offering its strong support for the nomination. In a statement, president Thomas O'Connor told NPR his organization is \"confident that [Wray] understands the nature of investigative work and the centrality of Special Agents to the mission of the FBI.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's probably because Wray has seen that work from the inside. He served as a federal prosecutor in Atlanta before he moved to Washington for top jobs inside the George W. Bush Justice Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wray was a key part of a team struggling to protect national security after the Sept. 11 attacks, heading to work in the morning before dawn, and hoping that his socks matched once he got to the office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Those were very intense times,\" recalled friend and colleague Andrew Hruska. \"We understood that we were handling some of the most significant issues in the country, and Chris was at the epicenter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's what worries David Cole, national legal director at the American Civil Liberties Union. Cole said he has a lot of questions about Wray's government service after Sept. 11, and senators should, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In our torture database, which we created through documents we received under the Freedom of Information Act, Chris Wray is named on 29 documents,\" Cole said. \"And these are all documents related to the Bush administration's use of torture and coercive interrogation tactics against detainees.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cole said Wray got notice about mistreatment of detainees, and at least one death. But his responses were redacted. So it's not clear what, if anything, he did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's important, Cole said, because some of the biggest pushback in those years came from inside the FBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We rely on the FBI to play an independent role at its best,\" he said. \"So the question is, are we putting at the head of the FBI someone who has shown that independence, or are we putting at the head of the FBI someone who has been a 'yes man' to programs that raise very serious civil liberties and human rights concerns?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wray's friends and former colleagues say he's prepared to stand up for his values. He's the son and the grandson of prominent lawyers in New York. And he was willing to resign over a surveillance dispute during the Bush administration, right along with Comey and Robert Mueller, the man now leading the DOJ's special counsel investigation into Russian election meddling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His friend Hruska said Wray agreed to consider the FBI post for the right reasons, including his reverence for the Justice Department. According to documents released in connection with the nomination, Wray would give up a $9 million annual salary and clients such as big banks and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He thinks clearly, he makes commitments, he keeps commitments,\" said Hruska, who met Wray 45 years ago, in kindergarten. They went on to attend the same high school, college and law schools before becoming partners at the firm King & Spalding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hruska said that Wray knows where the lines are and won't cross any.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If Chris felt there was a reason to leave, I think he would leave unhesitatingly,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

But he's operated outside the spotlight, by design.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taking a job where his predecessor was dismissed under questionable circumstances and with miles to go on his 10-year term is a bit out of character. But Michael Luttig, who's known Wray for decades, said he's making the right choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Chris is exactly the person both the country and the FBI need at this time in our history,\" said Luttig, a former federal appeals court judge who hired Wray to serve as his law clerk. \"Chris is fiercely independent; he is a man of unquestioned integrity, and he has impeccable judgment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In a statement, president Thomas O'Connor told NPR his organization is \"confident that [Wray] understands the nature of investigative work and the centrality of Special Agents to the mission of the FBI.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's probably because Wray has seen that work from the inside. He served as a federal prosecutor in Atlanta before he moved to Washington for top jobs inside the George W. Bush Justice Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wray was a key part of a team struggling to protect national security after the Sept. 11 attacks, heading to work in the morning before dawn, and hoping that his socks matched once he got to the office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Those were very intense times,\" recalled friend and colleague Andrew Hruska. \"We understood that we were handling some of the most significant issues in the country, and Chris was at the epicenter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's what worries David Cole, national legal director at the American Civil Liberties Union. Cole said he has a lot of questions about Wray's government service after Sept. 11, and senators should, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In our torture database, which we created through documents we received under the Freedom of Information Act, Chris Wray is named on 29 documents,\" Cole said. \"And these are all documents related to the Bush administration's use of torture and coercive interrogation tactics against detainees.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cole said Wray got notice about mistreatment of detainees, and at least one death. But his responses were redacted. So it's not clear what, if anything, he did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's important, Cole said, because some of the biggest pushback in those years came from inside the FBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We rely on the FBI to play an independent role at its best,\" he said. \"So the question is, are we putting at the head of the FBI someone who has shown that independence, or are we putting at the head of the FBI someone who has been a 'yes man' to programs that raise very serious civil liberties and human rights concerns?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wray's friends and former colleagues say he's prepared to stand up for his values. He's the son and the grandson of prominent lawyers in New York. And he was willing to resign over a surveillance dispute during the Bush administration, right along with Comey and Robert Mueller, the man now leading the DOJ's special counsel investigation into Russian election meddling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His friend Hruska said Wray agreed to consider the FBI post for the right reasons, including his reverence for the Justice Department. According to documents released in connection with the nomination, Wray would give up a $9 million annual salary and clients such as big banks and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He thinks clearly, he makes commitments, he keeps commitments,\" said Hruska, who met Wray 45 years ago, in kindergarten. They went on to attend the same high school, college and law schools before becoming partners at the firm King & Spalding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hruska said that Wray knows where the lines are and won't cross any.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If Chris felt there was a reason to leave, I think he would leave unhesitatingly,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>When Vanessa and Richard Bulnes got an eviction notice, it felt sadly ironic. The Bulneses were unable to pay the rent because their corporate landlord took three years to remediate high levels of lead in the backyard soil, which caused Vanessa to lose her business -- a family home child care that she had run for more than 20 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were nights where I would wake up and think, 'We're squatters.' And we felt really bad about that because it was never our intention to not pay rent,\" Vanessa said. \"Because after you lose a house for not paying your mortgage, we knew that’s not the way to go. This was like a second chance. We didn’t want to be at the mercy of somebody saying, 'You gotta get out' again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the latest in a string of injustices that happened to the Bulnes family: first, loan modification fraud, then foreclosure, now the threat of eviction. Their story is emblematic of a bigger problem: the disproportionate loss of African-American and Latino wealth during the foreclosure crisis and the obstacles to build up that wealth again. Between 2007 and 2013, so many African-American and Latino homeowners in Oakland were wiped out by foreclosure that entire neighborhoods were transformed. Many of the homes that were lost ended up in the hands of corporate investors, who then rented them out, sometimes to the same families who had lost their own homes. And that put those families, like the Bulneses, at risk of much more loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/05/StavelyBulnesPart1.mp3\" program=\"KQED News\" title=\"Part 1: From Foreclosure to Eviction: One Family’s Struggle to Recover\" image=\"https://u.s.kqed.net/2017/05/26/RS25501MG2276qut.jpg\"]\u003cbr>\n[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/05/20170531stavely.mp3\" program=\"KQED News\" title=\"Part 2: From Foreclosure to Eviction: One Family’s Struggle to Recover\" image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b.jpg\"]\u003cbr>\n[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/06/20170601stavely3.mp3\" program=\"KQED News\" title=\"Part 3: From Foreclosure to Eviction: One Family’s Struggle to Recover\" image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920d.jpg\"]\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Richard and Vanessa met at church in Oakland. Richard is Latino and grew up in San Francisco. Vanessa is African-American and grew up in North Carolina. They bought their house on 104th Avenue in East Oakland in 1992, shortly after they got married. It cost $141,500, and Richard’s sister was kind enough to give them the money for a $20,000 down payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For them, this house is where they became a family. It's where they brought their third baby, a daughter, home from the hospital. It's where they took prom photos of their kids and all their friends when they were in high school. It was also where Vanessa started her own child care business, planting collard greens in the backyard with the kids in her care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their financial troubles all started one morning in 2008. Richard woke up early, as he likes to, took a shower and began to comb his hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I pride myself on my hair, because so many people are bald-headed now, especially at my age. But I am not,\" said Richard, 68, with a wry smile. \"[But] as I tried to comb my hair, I couldn’t lift up my right arm. I came in the bedroom, woke up my wife and told her, 'I think you need to take me to the hospital.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Losing a home often begins this way: A family hits a hard spot, a health crisis or a loss of income. At the time of the stroke, Richard was working at Meals on Wheels. The family lost about $2,000 a month in income, about the same amount as their mortgage payment at the time, which had ballooned after they refinanced. They still had Vanessa's income from her child care business, but they decided their best option was to try to modify their loan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bulneses, though, were caught up in a bigger web. Oakland and other cities across the country are now suing big banks for targeting African-American and Latino homeowners with loans that \u003ca href=\"http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10511482.2013.771788\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">had abusive rates\u003c/a>. At the same time, many banks weren't playing fair to help homeowners modify their loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It seemed like at every point, when we got to where we thought we were going to get a modification, they needed another piece of paperwork, they needed another bank statement,\" said Vanessa, who is 58. \"There was always something else they needed, and when we gave them that, 'Oh we lost that, could you send something else?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11484034\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11484034\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vanessa strokes Richard Bulnes' hair as he declares that he is still in love with her after 29 years. \u003ccite>(Deborah Svoboda/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What Vanessa describes sounds really familiar to Maeve Elise Brown, director of the statewide organization \u003ca href=\"http://www.heraca.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Housing and Economic Rights Advocates\u003c/a>. In 2009, President Barack Obama had introduced the Home Affordable Modification Program to help struggling homeowners modify their loans, but homeowner advocates, researchers and news organizations like ProPublica found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/by-the-numbers-a-revealing-look-at-the-mortgage-mod-meltdown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">banks often broke the rules\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mortgage servicers were telling people to turn in paperwork over and over and over again. They weren’t looking at it, they would shred it. They would deny people instantly,\" Brown said. \"Not everyone qualified, but a whole bunch of people could, but were prevented from accessing that relief by the mortgage servicing companies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latino and African-American neighborhoods, like the Bulneses', were hit the hardest by the foreclosure crisis.

So we started praying harder. Then we saw the neighbor next door to us on the other side lose their house,\" Vanessa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foreclosure seemed almost like a virus that Vanessa and Richard Bulnes could catch. They decided to pay an attorney to help them. Other companies began circling them. Vanessa called them vultures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would get all kinds of letters in the mail saying, 'Call this number,' and you’d call that number, and they’d say, 'Are you behind on your mortgage?', and we’d say, 'No,' and they'd say, 'We can help you. The first thing you do is stop paying your mortgage,' \" Vanessa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was skeptical. But one letter from \"The Gordon Law Firm\" had a logo that looked like it was from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD. On this firm’s advice they stopped paying their mortgage. But the firm was lying. They weren’t HUD, and they couldn’t modify Vanessa and Richard’s loan. Years later, through a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cfpbconsumerprotection-gordon.org/Home/Faq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">class-action lawsuit\u003c/a>, the Bulneses won $3,500 back, but that’s just a fraction of the wealth they lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September 2012, the foreclosure was final. The house Vanessa and Richard owned on 104th Avenue was no longer theirs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I cried like a baby,\" said Richard, remembering when he and his wife lost their home to foreclosure. \"A grown man, crying like a baby. We had lived here 21 years. I raised three kids here. So, this is what we knew.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vanessa knew they had to find a place by Christmas, so her daughter would have a place to come home to during winter break from her freshman year at college, and so the kids at her day care could transition easily while school was out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My wife, because she’s so practical, she said, 'Babe, you gotta wipe the tears out of your eyes,' \" Richard remembered. \"I said, 'Man, I ain’t finished crying yet.' She said, 'Well, whether you’re finished or not, we got to find another house.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many families who lost their homes were forced out of Oakland, but Vanessa and Richard Bulnes were able to find a new place to rent. What they didn't know is that they were now at risk of losing a lot more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Renting from a Wall Street Landlord\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vanessa and Richard were paying more to rent their new house than they had been paying on their mortgage before their first home was lost to foreclosure, but in many ways, the rental was perfect. It only had one level, so Richard didn’t have too many steps to climb, which was hard after his stroke. And the house was spacious, with lots of room for Vanessa's day care, Tender Arms Family Child Care. She had a contract with Head Start to care for low-income children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vanessa wanted to plant greens with the kids in the backyard as she had at her old home, so in the fall she called a group to come out and test the soil.

But they emphasized a permanent solution had to be found if she wanted to keep her contract. Alameda County has a \u003ca href=\"http://www.achhd.org/programs/leadfunding.htm#financial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">financial assistance program\u003c/a> to help low-income residents remove or fix lead problems, with priority for family child care providers like Vanessa. If Vanessa still lived in a home she owned, she would have had it done right away. But now, she was renting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because we’re not the owners, we couldn’t apply to have the work done. We needed the owners to give us consent, and that’s where we didn’t get any cooperation with the property owner,\" Vanessa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The owner of the Bulneses' new home wasn’t just any landlord. It was a corporation: Waypoint Homes. It merged in 2016 with another top real estate investor, Colony American Homes, to become \u003ca href=\"http://colonystarwood.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colony Starwood Homes\u003c/a>. Co-chairman of the board, Thomas Barrack, is a billionaire who helped raise $35 million for President Trump’s campaign and chaired his inaugural committee. The company owns more than 30,000 single-family homes across the country and close to 4,000 in California. On the company website, Colony Starwood boasts, \"We recognized the unique opportunity created by the housing crisis and acted upon it in a bold way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Urban Strategies Council found that in Oakland, 42 percent of foreclosed homes between 2007 and 2011 were \u003ca href=\"http://community-wealth.org/content/who-owns-your-neighborhood-role-investors-post-foreclosure-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">snapped up by corporate investors\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, corporate takeover of homes happened mostly in low-income neighborhoods, essentially shifting ownership from the hands of largely Latino and African-American residents to the hands of Wall Street corporations. Latino and African-American buyers are still largely locked out of home loans in the city. \u003ca href=\"http://greenlining.org/issues/2016/new-report-finds-racial-disparities-possible-redlining-in-oakland-mortgage-lending/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One report\u003c/a> found that in 2013, the top 12 lenders financed only four homes for African-American buyers and only seven for Latino buyers, compared with 40 for white buyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only did investors snap up homes. They also decided to keep them and make money off them by renting them out. Since single-family homes are exempt from limits on rent increases under California's Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, for the most part, property owners could charge higher rents for them. It was a new moneymaking venture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11484040\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11484040\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vanessa and Richard Bulnes had lead in the backyard of their new rental house. In order to have a day care out of their home they placed this turf down, but they needed the property owner to do more in order to keep their business. \u003ccite>(Deborah Svoboda/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A 2015 survey conducted by the group Tenants Together found that 40 percent of Californians renting from the top three Wall Street real estate investors reported that these landlords \u003ca href=\"http://www.tenantstogether.org/updates/report-released-tenant-experience-renting-wall-street-landlords\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">weren’t repairing or maintaining\u003c/a> homes as they should. The three companies included both Waypoint Homes and Colony American Homes. Now, Vanessa Bulnes had to rely on them to get the lead fixed, so she could keep her contract with Head Start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So I’m on the phone, my husband and I, we’re calling Waypoint, and emails and everything like that,\" Vanessa said. \"Here we are, the clock is ticking. I’m like OK, I’m taking pictures, this is the area, this is how big it is, this is what we need you to have done.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vanessa first contacted Waypoint in 2013, when the lead was found. But she says property managers came and went, and each time she had to start the process again. In June 2016, almost three years after the lead had been found, Head Start told Vanessa they couldn’t renew for the next school year if the lead wasn’t fixed by September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I’m like, 'OK, this is affecting my income.' I give all these red flags about what’s going to happen if nothing is done. Still no urgency on their part,\" Vanessa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one email in August 2016, a regional manager for Waypoint Homes wrote, \"Unfortunately, we are not in a position to work with this program at this time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until November that someone from Waypoint Homes finally came to walk through the property with an Alameda County representative. When questioned why it took the company so long to fix the lead problem, a spokesperson did not respond, instead stating that the company finished the work on Nov. 28, 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By that time, three years after Vanessa's initial request, it was too late. The school year had already begun, and Head Start had canceled her contract. The family’s main source of income, which had gotten them through the stroke and the foreclosure, was gone. They had to apply for assistance for food, and Vanessa had to change her health insurance from Covered California to Medi-Cal. They began to fall behind on their rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before they started working on the lead remediation, Colony Starwood Homes had already begun trying to evict the Bulneses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Ripple Effect\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would take a protest at the headquarters of Thomas Barrack's real estate investment company Colony NorthStar in Los Angeles, organized by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.acceaction.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment\u003c/a>, legal help, and financial support from their church for the Bulneses to finally get their corporate landlord to back off. In January, Colony Starwood Homes agreed to cancel the eviction, plus four months of back rent. Vanessa now has a job at an outside day care and is trying to make due off her hourly salary of $17. She says that amounts to about a third of what she brought in when she had her own child care business at home.

The Bulneses were unable to pay the rent because their corporate landlord took three years to remediate high levels of lead in the backyard soil, which caused Vanessa to lose her business -- a family home child care that she had run for more than 20 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were nights where I would wake up and think, 'We're squatters.' And we felt really bad about that because it was never our intention to not pay rent,\" Vanessa said. \"Because after you lose a house for not paying your mortgage, we knew that’s not the way to go. This was like a second chance. We didn’t want to be at the mercy of somebody saying, 'You gotta get out' again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the latest in a string of injustices that happened to the Bulnes family: first, loan modification fraud, then foreclosure, now the threat of eviction. Their story is emblematic of a bigger problem: the disproportionate loss of African-American and Latino wealth during the foreclosure crisis and the obstacles to build up that wealth again. Between 2007 and 2013, so many African-American and Latino homeowners in Oakland were wiped out by foreclosure that entire neighborhoods were transformed. Many of the homes that were lost ended up in the hands of corporate investors, who then rented them out, sometimes to the same families who had lost their own homes. And that put those families, like the Bulneses, at risk of much more loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Richard woke up early, as he likes to, took a shower and began to comb his hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I pride myself on my hair, because so many people are bald-headed now, especially at my age. But I am not,\" said Richard, 68, with a wry smile. \"[But] as I tried to comb my hair, I couldn’t lift up my right arm. I came in the bedroom, woke up my wife and told her, 'I think you need to take me to the hospital.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Losing a home often begins this way: A family hits a hard spot, a health crisis or a loss of income. At the time of the stroke, Richard was working at Meals on Wheels. The family lost about $2,000 a month in income, about the same amount as their mortgage payment at the time, which had ballooned after they refinanced. They still had Vanessa's income from her child care business, but they decided their best option was to try to modify their loan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bulneses, though, were caught up in a bigger web. Oakland and other cities across the country are now suing big banks for targeting African-American and Latino homeowners with loans that \u003ca href=\"http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10511482.2013.771788\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">had abusive rates\u003c/a>. At the same time, many banks weren't playing fair to help homeowners modify their loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It seemed like at every point, when we got to where we thought we were going to get a modification, they needed another piece of paperwork, they needed another bank statement,\" said Vanessa, who is 58. \"There was always something else they needed, and when we gave them that, 'Oh we lost that, could you send something else?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11484034\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11484034\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920b-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vanessa strokes Richard Bulnes' hair as he declares that he is still in love with her after 29 years. \u003ccite>(Deborah Svoboda/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What Vanessa describes sounds really familiar to Maeve Elise Brown, director of the statewide organization \u003ca href=\"http://www.heraca.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Housing and Economic Rights Advocates\u003c/a>. In 2009, President Barack Obama had introduced the Home Affordable Modification Program to help struggling homeowners modify their loans, but homeowner advocates, researchers and news organizations like ProPublica found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/by-the-numbers-a-revealing-look-at-the-mortgage-mod-meltdown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">banks often broke the rules\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mortgage servicers were telling people to turn in paperwork over and over and over again. They weren’t looking at it, they would shred it. They would deny people instantly,\" Brown said. \"Not everyone qualified, but a whole bunch of people could, but were prevented from accessing that relief by the mortgage servicing companies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latino and African-American neighborhoods, like the Bulneses', were hit the hardest by the foreclosure crisis.

Across the country, African-American and Latino neighborhoods lost three to four times more homes than white neighborhoods during the recent mortgage crisis, according to \u003ca href=\"http://news.cornell.edu/stories/2015/05/home-foreclosures-fueled-racial-segregation-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cornell University research\u003c/a>.

They decided to pay an attorney to help them. Other companies began circling them. Vanessa called them vultures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would get all kinds of letters in the mail saying, 'Call this number,' and you’d call that number, and they’d say, 'Are you behind on your mortgage?', and we’d say, 'No,' and they'd say, 'We can help you. The first thing you do is stop paying your mortgage,' \" Vanessa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was skeptical. But one letter from \"The Gordon Law Firm\" had a logo that looked like it was from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD. On this firm’s advice they stopped paying their mortgage. But the firm was lying. They weren’t HUD, and they couldn’t modify Vanessa and Richard’s loan. Years later, through a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cfpbconsumerprotection-gordon.org/Home/Faq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">class-action lawsuit\u003c/a>, the Bulneses won $3,500 back, but that’s just a fraction of the wealth they lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September 2012, the foreclosure was final. The house Vanessa and Richard owned on 104th Avenue was no longer theirs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I cried like a baby,\" said Richard, remembering when he and his wife lost their home to foreclosure. \"A grown man, crying like a baby. We had lived here 21 years. I raised three kids here. So, this is what we knew.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vanessa knew they had to find a place by Christmas, so her daughter would have a place to come home to during winter break from her freshman year at college, and so the kids at her day care could transition easily while school was out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My wife, because she’s so practical, she said, 'Babe, you gotta wipe the tears out of your eyes,' \" Richard remembered. \"I said, 'Man, I ain’t finished crying yet.' She said, 'Well, whether you’re finished or not, we got to find another house.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many families who lost their homes were forced out of Oakland, but Vanessa and Richard Bulnes were able to find a new place to rent.

It only had one level, so Richard didn’t have too many steps to climb, which was hard after his stroke. And the house was spacious, with lots of room for Vanessa's day care, Tender Arms Family Child Care. She had a contract with Head Start to care for low-income children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vanessa wanted to plant greens with the kids in the backyard as she had at her old home, so in the fall she called a group to come out and test the soil.

But they emphasized a permanent solution had to be found if she wanted to keep her contract. Alameda County has a \u003ca href=\"http://www.achhd.org/programs/leadfunding.htm#financial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">financial assistance program\u003c/a> to help low-income residents remove or fix lead problems, with priority for family child care providers like Vanessa. If Vanessa still lived in a home she owned, she would have had it done right away. But now, she was renting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because we’re not the owners, we couldn’t apply to have the work done. We needed the owners to give us consent, and that’s where we didn’t get any cooperation with the property owner,\" Vanessa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The owner of the Bulneses' new home wasn’t just any landlord. It was a corporation: Waypoint Homes. It merged in 2016 with another top real estate investor, Colony American Homes, to become \u003ca href=\"http://colonystarwood.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colony Starwood Homes\u003c/a>. Co-chairman of the board, Thomas Barrack, is a billionaire who helped raise $35 million for President Trump’s campaign and chaired his inaugural committee. The company owns more than 30,000 single-family homes across the country and close to 4,000 in California. On the company website, Colony Starwood boasts, \"We recognized the unique opportunity created by the housing crisis and acted upon it in a bold way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Urban Strategies Council found that in Oakland, 42 percent of foreclosed homes between 2007 and 2011 were \u003ca href=\"http://community-wealth.org/content/who-owns-your-neighborhood-role-investors-post-foreclosure-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">snapped up by corporate investors\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, corporate takeover of homes happened mostly in low-income neighborhoods, essentially shifting ownership from the hands of largely Latino and African-American residents to the hands of Wall Street corporations. Latino and African-American buyers are still largely locked out of home loans in the city. \u003ca href=\"http://greenlining.org/issues/2016/new-report-finds-racial-disparities-possible-redlining-in-oakland-mortgage-lending/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One report\u003c/a> found that in 2013, the top 12 lenders financed only four homes for African-American buyers and only seven for Latino buyers, compared with 40 for white buyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only did investors snap up homes. They also decided to keep them and make money off them by renting them out. Since single-family homes are exempt from limits on rent increases under California's Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, for the most part, property owners could charge higher rents for them. It was a new moneymaking venture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11484040\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11484040\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/bulneses-1920e-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vanessa and Richard Bulnes had lead in the backyard of their new rental house.

I’m like OK, I’m taking pictures, this is the area, this is how big it is, this is what we need you to have done.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vanessa first contacted Waypoint in 2013, when the lead was found. But she says property managers came and went, and each time she had to start the process again. In June 2016, almost three years after the lead had been found, Head Start told Vanessa they couldn’t renew for the next school year if the lead wasn’t fixed by September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I’m like, 'OK, this is affecting my income.' I give all these red flags about what’s going to happen if nothing is done. Still no urgency on their part,\" Vanessa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one email in August 2016, a regional manager for Waypoint Homes wrote, \"Unfortunately, we are not in a position to work with this program at this time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until November that someone from Waypoint Homes finally came to walk through the property with an Alameda County representative. When questioned why it took the company so long to fix the lead problem, a spokesperson did not respond, instead stating that the company finished the work on Nov. 28, 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By that time, three years after Vanessa's initial request, it was too late. The school year had already begun, and Head Start had canceled her contract. The family’s main source of income, which had gotten them through the stroke and the foreclosure, was gone. They had to apply for assistance for food, and Vanessa had to change her health insurance from Covered California to Medi-Cal. They began to fall behind on their rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before they started working on the lead remediation, Colony Starwood Homes had already begun trying to evict the Bulneses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Ripple Effect\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would take a protest at the headquarters of Thomas Barrack's real estate investment company Colony NorthStar in Los Angeles, organized by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.acceaction.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment\u003c/a>, legal help, and financial support from their church for the Bulneses to finally get their corporate landlord to back off. In January, Colony Starwood Homes agreed to cancel the eviction, plus four months of back rent. Vanessa now has a job at an outside day care and is trying to make due off her hourly salary of $17. She says that amounts to about a third of what she brought in when she had her own child care business at home. She can pay the rent, but she says she's behind on other bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11484035\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11484035\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/welcome-1920a-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/welcome-1920a-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/welcome-1920a-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/welcome-1920a-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/welcome-1920a.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/welcome-1920a-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/welcome-1920a-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/welcome-1920a-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/welcome-1920a-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/welcome-1920a-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vanessa Bulnes hangs a \"Welcome\" sign on the door of their rental house.

Woychowski immediately called police after he discovered his .40-caliber handgun, reportedly left in a bag in his vehicle, was missing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without identifying Woychowski by name, a Bureau of Land Management spokeswoman said after Steinle's killing that the ranger was traveling through San Francisco on official government business when his gun was stolen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's currently unknown how the weapon came into Lopez Sanchez's possession, but that hasn't restrained the rhetoric from Republicans in Congress, who have championed a bill they're calling \"Kate's Law.\" The legislation, which strengthens penalties for those arrested with prior convictions for entering the country illegally, passed the House of Representatives on June 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Paul Ryan wrote in a June 29 web post titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.speaker.gov/general/law-kate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This Law is for Kate\u003c/a>\" that Lopez Sanchez \"stole a gun out of a federal officer’s car, fired shots in public, and shot Kate Steinle in the back.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, there's no evidence that Lopez Sanchez committed the initial burglary. He told reporters in a jailhouse interview after Steinle's death that he found the gun wrapped in a T-shirt under a bench, though it's not clear Lopez Sanchez understood the questions or the answers he was giving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attempts to reach Woychowski on Friday by phone and emails were unsuccessful. The supervisor at the BLM's El Centro (Imperial County) field office, where it appears Woychowski is based, did not return a phone call seeking verification of Woychowski's current employment with the office. A state-level BLM spokeswoman did not return calls and emails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Public Defender's Office, which is representing Lopez Sanchez, declined comment on the court filing naming Woychowski.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woychowski is listed as a \"purchase card holder\" based in El Centro on a Department of the Interior \u003ca href=\"https://www.doi.gov/sites/doi.gov/files/migrated/pam/programs/chargecard/upload/FOIA_LISTING_BLM_11-19-2009.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">document from 2009\u003c/a>. He was given the field office's Ranger of the Year award in 2011 for \"exemplary protection of our public lands and unwavering dedication to visitor safety,\" according to a BLM news posting from the time that has since been taken down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED accessed an \u003ca href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20120114224541/http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/info/newsbytes/2011/509xtra_ranger_year_ecfo.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">archived version\u003c/a> of the article, which was taken down sometime after Steinle was killed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The article indicates that, at the time, Woychowski was a field training officer whose \"dedication to the BLM Law Enforcement Field Training Program has insured (sic) that the BLM will be provided with newly skilled and knowledgeable Law Enforcement Rangers for years to come.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is an honor to give him this award,\" then-El Centro field manager Margaret Gordo is quoted as saying in the article. \"John is a phenomenal ranger.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An older archived version of the article includes a photograph of Woychowski holding his award plaque with two unidentified employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief Deputy Public Defender Matt Gonzalez, who represents Lopez Sanchez, wrote an op-ed \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/Proposed-Kate-s-Law-would-not-have-saved-Kate-11264771.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">published in the San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a> last week that outlines his argument for the ranger's culpability in the case, while not identifying him by name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The firearm should never have been on the streets,\" Gonzalez wrote. \"The Bureau of Land Management official who left his loaded weapon unsecured in a car that was burglarized has never accounted for his negligence in starting the chain of events that resulted in Steinle’s death.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Steinle killing is one of several that inspired \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/09/26/kate-steinle-killing-bill-to-curb-police-gun-thefts-signed-by-governor-brown/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">state legislation last year\u003c/a> requiring law enforcement officers to lock up firearms when they store them in parked vehicles. The law makes failure to do so an infraction carrying a $1,000 fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://extras.mercurynews.com/policeguns/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bay Area News Group investigation\u003c/a> published last year found that the problem of lost or stolen law enforcement firearms is widespread, with California officers losing possession of at least 944 weapons since 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his filing seeking Woychowski's testimony, which requests the information be sealed by the court, Gonzalez wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The witness listed above is the owner of the firearm at issue in this case and his testimony is material and necessary to the defense,\" according to the filing. \"This witness is critical to Mr. Lopez Sanchez's defense and he must testify in order for Mr. Lopez Sanchez to have a fair trial.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
