"content": "\u003cp>Matthew Polamalu was spending 90 minutes each day commuting back and forth to his community college along Southern California’s congested freeways when he decided he’d had enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He sat down at his computer and googled “community colleges with dorms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was just looking for the full college experience,” said Polamalu, a psychology major. He found it in a residence hall at Sierra College, along a winding, tree-lined road in the Sacramento suburb of Rocklin. Now, Polamalu can easily stroll to the classroom next door for math tutoring, without worrying about competing with other students for parking spaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m right near all the resources I need,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of California's 114 community college campuses consist of low-slung buildings and massive parking lots. Only 11 offer on-campus housing. But some of those parking lots could soon become dormitories, as community colleges look to build their own solutions to the state’s affordable housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An 800-bed student apartment complex is rising on the campus of Orange Coast College, the largest community college in Orange County. At Santa Rosa Junior College, administrators kicked their plans for dorms into high gear after the Tubbs Fire swept through the wine country town in 2017, exacerbating its housing crunch. And the Los Angeles Community College District, where \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/homeless-college-students-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one student in five is homeless,\u003c/a> is one of several districts studying the feasibility of building on-campus housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Largely built in rural areas in the 1960s, existing community college dorms were small, intended to serve students from far-flung towns who couldn’t easily commute to class. But the skyrocketing cost of housing has put new pressure on students, adding to potential demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our thought was to have some housing on campus so our students can just concentrate on learning without worrying so much about, 'Can I make rent?' or 'Where am I going to live?'\" said Juan Gutierrez, public information officer for Orange Coast College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surveys showed the overwhelming majority of Orange Coast students were interested in living on campus, Gutierrez said. Half of the student body comes from outside Orange County, he said, with many avoiding the area’s steep cost of living by commuting from as far as San Diego or the Inland Empire. The project is set to open in the autumn of 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related stories\" tag=\"community-colleges\"]At Sierra College, just over 100 students live in the no-frills residence hall, with about twice as many on a waiting list to get in. Slots are set aside for athletes, most of whom come from outside the district, as well as international students and former foster-care youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students pay $925 per month to share a double or quad room, which includes a meal plan that they can use in the cafeteria and nearby off-campus restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The price was right for Polamalu’s friend Moe Irwin, a natural science major who is visually impaired and uses his disability benefits to pay rent. Cluttered with the typical college student piles of clothes and books, the space he shares with a roommate is just big enough to fit the basics, plus a few sparkly dresses Irwin wears for drag performances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s mainly that we want independence from our parents,” Irwin said. “We love them, but we recognize it’s time to go out on our own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With rents in the Sacramento area rising, Irwin said, he would likely need to share a one-bedroom apartment with at least two other people if he wanted to live off campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11754091\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/community-college-housing-PHOTO-1-e1560318405116.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11754091\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/community-college-housing-PHOTO-1-e1560318405116.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Psychology major Matthew Polamalu chose to attend Sierra College because it offered on-campus housing. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Finding affordable solutions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community college students facing similar dilemmas without the option of on-campus housing are increasingly resorting to couch surfing or living in their cars. As state lawmakers debate measures that would \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-college-affordability-bill-tracker/\">allow homeless students to park overnight\u003c/a> on campus and receive housing vouchers, building dorms offers an alternate path, one that colleges can pursue on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it also means transforming the character of community college campuses and confronting thorny questions, such as how to actually make the units affordable to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Sierra College built, owns and manages its own residence hall, both Orange Coast College and Santa Rosa Junior College have opted for public-private partnerships with Servitas, a developer and The Scion Group, a management and consulting company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rents for the Santa Rosa project will be under $800 per bed, including utilities, or about 6% below market rate, said Pedro Avila, the school’s vice president of student services. He said the contract prohibits any rent increases without the college’s consent. Working with an experienced developer helped the college respond quickly after enrollment dropped in the wake of the wildfires, he said, as students unable to find housing began moving away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were at the point where it didn’t matter that we were able to provide support or vouchers, people were getting pushed out of the area,” said Avila. “We’re trying to do our part and increase the number of units available to our students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avila said he also hoped to find donors willing to subsidize rents for low-income students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colleges can sometimes underestimate the extra expenses that come with building housing, said \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/real-college-california-students-college-costs-food-financial-aid-goldrick-rab-hunger/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sara Goldrick-Rab\u003c/a>, a Temple University researcher who studies homelessness and food insecurity among students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With housing comes the need to build a whole bunch of other services. If you have students living on or around campus, they want campus dining to be open at different hours and they want libraries open at different hours,” she said. “It becomes a financial expense that is difficult for them to handle and ends up raising their prices even when they thought they wouldn’t be doing that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even a building with hundreds of beds might make only a small dent in the housing market on a campus with tens of thousands of students. Traditional dorm-style living doesn’t work for students with families of their own, and community colleges will need to decide which students get priority in applying for the rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s probably going to be the most difficult conversation we haven’t had yet,” said Avila.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community opposition can also derail a project. Last month, Ohlone College in Fremont scrapped plans for a mixed-use housing development after neighbors complained that it would worsen traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Colleges as social service agencies\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the challenges, some advocates say providing housing is simply part of community colleges’ expanding mission. With rampant income inequality darkening the prospects for many young Californians, they say, colleges must play the role of social service agency if they want to remove the obstacles that can prevent students from graduating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the approach taken by Compton College president Keith Curry. The college recently updated its master plan to include 500 beds of student housing. It already provides free breakfast and lunch to students during finals week, and Curry is lobbying to create a free lunch program for community college students statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our students are struggling; they need housing,” said Curry. “If we don’t do it, who’s going to do it for us? Who’s going to help the underserved? That’s our job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early evidence from a project in Washington State indicates that solving community college students’ housing woes can help them graduate.

At Santa Rosa Junior College, administrators kicked their plans for dorms into high gear after the Tubbs Fire swept through the wine country town in 2017, exacerbating its housing crunch. And the Los Angeles Community College District, where \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/homeless-college-students-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one student in five is homeless,\u003c/a> is one of several districts studying the feasibility of building on-campus housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Largely built in rural areas in the 1960s, existing community college dorms were small, intended to serve students from far-flung towns who couldn’t easily commute to class. But the skyrocketing cost of housing has put new pressure on students, adding to potential demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our thought was to have some housing on campus so our students can just concentrate on learning without worrying so much about, 'Can I make rent?' or 'Where am I going to live?'\" said Juan Gutierrez, public information officer for Orange Coast College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surveys showed the overwhelming majority of Orange Coast students were interested in living on campus, Gutierrez said. Half of the student body comes from outside Orange County, he said, with many avoiding the area’s steep cost of living by commuting from as far as San Diego or the Inland Empire. The project is set to open in the autumn of 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As state lawmakers debate measures that would \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-college-affordability-bill-tracker/\">allow homeless students to park overnight\u003c/a> on campus and receive housing vouchers, building dorms offers an alternate path, one that colleges can pursue on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it also means transforming the character of community college campuses and confronting thorny questions, such as how to actually make the units affordable to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Sierra College built, owns and manages its own residence hall, both Orange Coast College and Santa Rosa Junior College have opted for public-private partnerships with Servitas, a developer and The Scion Group, a management and consulting company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rents for the Santa Rosa project will be under $800 per bed, including utilities, or about 6% below market rate, said Pedro Avila, the school’s vice president of student services. He said the contract prohibits any rent increases without the college’s consent. Working with an experienced developer helped the college respond quickly after enrollment dropped in the wake of the wildfires, he said, as students unable to find housing began moving away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were at the point where it didn’t matter that we were able to provide support or vouchers, people were getting pushed out of the area,” said Avila. “We’re trying to do our part and increase the number of units available to our students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avila said he also hoped to find donors willing to subsidize rents for low-income students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colleges can sometimes underestimate the extra expenses that come with building housing, said \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/real-college-california-students-college-costs-food-financial-aid-goldrick-rab-hunger/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sara Goldrick-Rab\u003c/a>, a Temple University researcher who studies homelessness and food insecurity among students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With housing comes the need to build a whole bunch of other services. If you have students living on or around campus, they want campus dining to be open at different hours and they want libraries open at different hours,” she said. “It becomes a financial expense that is difficult for them to handle and ends up raising their prices even when they thought they wouldn’t be doing that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even a building with hundreds of beds might make only a small dent in the housing market on a campus with tens of thousands of students. Traditional dorm-style living doesn’t work for students with families of their own, and community colleges will need to decide which students get priority in applying for the rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s probably going to be the most difficult conversation we haven’t had yet,” said Avila.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community opposition can also derail a project. Last month, Ohlone College in Fremont scrapped plans for a mixed-use housing development after neighbors complained that it would worsen traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Colleges as social service agencies\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the challenges, some advocates say providing housing is simply part of community colleges’ expanding mission. With rampant income inequality darkening the prospects for many young Californians, they say, colleges must play the role of social service agency if they want to remove the obstacles that can prevent students from graduating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the approach taken by Compton College president Keith Curry. The college recently updated its master plan to include 500 beds of student housing. It already provides free breakfast and lunch to students during finals week, and Curry is lobbying to create a free lunch program for community college students statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our students are struggling; they need housing,” said Curry. “If we don’t do it, who’s going to do it for us? Who’s going to help the underserved? That’s our job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early evidence from a project in Washington State indicates that solving community college students’ housing woes can help them graduate. Tacoma Community College partnered with the local housing authority to subsidize housing for students at risk of homelessness.

Together, they represent more than 2,000 acres of land across the county, much of it also zoned for housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I cannot tell you how many faith communities have come to me and said, ‘What can we do to address homelessness?’ ” said Theisen. “And I have a real hard time telling them to go out, hand out blankets or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or that type of stuff.

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

The church envisions putting between 16 and 21 apartments on top of its parking lot, which typically sits mostly empty except for a few hours on Sundays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But city code includes a formula dictating how many parking spaces a church needs based on square inches of pew space. City officials told Doolittle even without the loss of parking created by the new homes, the church had a parking deficit and would have to conduct a study to quantify its parking use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a month, congregants counted all the vacant parking spaces in the church lot and the surrounding neighborhood four times a day.

"content": "\u003cp>The San Francisco Port Commission on Tuesday gave the city the green light to build a temporary multiservice homeless shelter on a large Embarcadero lot near the Bay Bridge, a move fiercely contested by neighborhood residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='navigation-center' label='Navigation Centers in San Francisco']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.granicus.com/player/clip/32968?view_id=92\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than five hours\u003c/a> of impassioned public comment from supporters and opponents, the four commissioners in attendance voted unanimously to lease the 2.3-acre site to the city for its proposed Embarcadero \u003ca href=\"http://hsh.sfgov.org/services/emergencyshelter/safe-navigation-centers/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SAFE Navigation Center\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I see today is just the beginning of a journey,” said Commissioner Doreen Woo Ho, stressing that proper execution of the project would be critical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She reminded concerned residents that the lease is temporary, and that the Port still plans to develop the prime piece of real estate — Seawall Lot 330 — for longer-term, more profitable use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are here to hopefully demonstrate that if this navigation center works in this kind of neighborhood, in this kind of city, then it will work everywhere in the city,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 200-bed facility will be the city’s largest navigation center, providing a range of round-the-clock supportive housing and rehabilitative services to the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission’s vote caps a succession of heated, sometimes vitriolic community meetings about the project, attended by staunch advocates for and against the plan. The strongest pushback comes from residents of the South Beach, Rincon Hill and Mission Bay neighborhoods, amid concerns that the facility will transform the tourist-heavy neighborhood into a dirty, crime-ridden area and reduce property values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides came out in force on Tuesday, packing the commission hall and spilling into a boisterous overflow room. Attendees gave hours of often emotional testimony as their supporters hoisted competing orange and pink signs with messages like “Not good for residents; not good for visitors” and “Hate has no place here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the lease now secured, the city plans to break ground on the center this summer, with hopes of opening it in the early fall, although the expected litigation could delay that schedule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city is leasing the Port-owned land for two years \u003ca href=\"https://sfport.com/sites/default/files/Documents/Item%208A%20SWL%20330%204-18_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for nearly $37,000 a month\u003c/a>, and will have the option of renewing for an additional two years if it can demonstrate the center has helped reduced homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the last community meeting a week ago, city officials tried to appease opponents by promising dedicated police patrols near the center, splitting the original four-year lease half and scaling back the proposed facility to 130 beds, consistent with the size of other navigation centers, and then ramping up to 200 beds over six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that did little to allay neighbors’ concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not even that I personally am against the navigation center at that particular location,” said Judy Lin, who’s lived in South Beach since 2008. “It’s just the fact that the city has not listened to or addressed any of our concerns when it comes to the size of the facility, the length of the lease, the policies with respect to drug use or curfew or any of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lin said the roughly dozen community meetings she’s attended with city officials felt like “talking into a black hole.” A newly formed neighborhood group she’s part of, called Safe Embarcadero for All, intends to sue the city in a last-ditch attempt to stop the project from moving forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We could have worked together to come up with a solution that helped the homeless and that the neighborhood can support,” she said. “But instead, the mayor is just ramming this down onto the neighborhood without addressing any of the concerns.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11742418\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11742418 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Advocates for and against the navigation center pack the hearing room on Tuesday, hoisting competing orange and pink signs, as Port commissioners listen to hours of impassioned testimony. \u003ccite>(Matthew Green/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But for supporters of the plan, Tuesday’s vote signaled a major step forward in addressing the city’s worsening homeless crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This crisis belongs to all of us equally, no matter what neighborhood you live in,” said Carmen King, who lives next to a homeless shelter in the Tenderloin and insists that safety has never been an issue. “People die sleeping outdoors, and that’s the real issue here today. … All of us are safer when everyone in San Francisco can sleep indoors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First proposed in early March by Mayor London Breed, controversy over the center erupted weeks later after a group of neighborhood residents \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/safe-embarcadero-for-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">started an online fundraiser\u003c/a> to challenge the plan in court. The group has already hired a local land-use attorney who plans to file an appeal under the California Environmental Quality Act in an effort to block construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That campaign, in turn, provoked \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/safer-embarcadero-for-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a dueling fundraiser\u003c/a> among supporters of the proposal, one that quickly eclipsed its rival and has now raised more than $175,000, including major contributions from several high-profile tech CEOs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two fundraisers underscore just how divided San Franciscans are on the issue of homelessness and how to address it. And that makes new legislation, introduced earlier this month by San Francisco District 6 Supervisor Matt Haney — which would require a navigation center in each of San Francisco’s 11 districts — all the more controversial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ultimately I think this is going to be a positive thing for the many people that it serves,” said Haney, who supports the Embarcadero facility, which will be in his district. “And also for the community. I expect in a year or two the people in this community will look around and say there’s actually less people who are living on the streets in this neighborhood because of this navigation center. And they should be proud they had the opportunity to be part of the solution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco opened its first homeless navigation center in 2015 and currently operates six throughout the city. Unlike traditional shelters, the centers allow occupants to bring pets and don’t make them leave in the morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed navigation center in the Embarcadero is a critical part of Breed’s campaign pledge to open 1,000 new shelter beds by the end of 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='homelessness' label='Coverage of Homelessness in the Bay Area']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the waterfront shelter plan, including some who live in the neighborhood, have accused opponents of being selfish and heartless. But many of the mostly middle-aged residents who stayed for the duration of the hearing insisted they were in full support of more homeless services. They argued, though, that it was irresponsible of the city to open a large shelter in a neighborhood filled with tourists and families, where homelessness is currently not a major issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually was going to give up my time to speak until I was just called a racist, a bigot, a class elitist for not wanting to give up my backyard for drug use, drug sales, mental illness and busing additional homeless into our neighborhood,” said James Dorsch, who lives a stone’s throw from the site. “Yeah, I don’t think a lot of people would want those things in their backyard. That doesn’t make someone a bigot. That doesn’t make someone a racist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The strongest pushback comes from residents of the South Beach, Rincon Hill and Mission Bay neighborhoods, amid concerns that the facility will transform the tourist-heavy neighborhood into a dirty, crime-ridden area and reduce property values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides came out in force on Tuesday, packing the commission hall and spilling into a boisterous overflow room. Attendees gave hours of often emotional testimony as their supporters hoisted competing orange and pink signs with messages like “Not good for residents; not good for visitors” and “Hate has no place here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the lease now secured, the city plans to break ground on the center this summer, with hopes of opening it in the early fall, although the expected litigation could delay that schedule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city is leasing the Port-owned land for two years \u003ca href=\"https://sfport.com/sites/default/files/Documents/Item%208A%20SWL%20330%204-18_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for nearly $37,000 a month\u003c/a>, and will have the option of renewing for an additional two years if it can demonstrate the center has helped reduced homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the last community meeting a week ago, city officials tried to appease opponents by promising dedicated police patrols near the center, splitting the original four-year lease half and scaling back the proposed facility to 130 beds, consistent with the size of other navigation centers, and then ramping up to 200 beds over six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that did little to allay neighbors’ concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not even that I personally am against the navigation center at that particular location,” said Judy Lin, who’s lived in South Beach since 2008. “It’s just the fact that the city has not listened to or addressed any of our concerns when it comes to the size of the facility, the length of the lease, the policies with respect to drug use or curfew or any of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lin said the roughly dozen community meetings she’s attended with city officials felt like “talking into a black hole.” A newly formed neighborhood group she’s part of, called Safe Embarcadero for All, intends to sue the city in a last-ditch attempt to stop the project from moving forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We could have worked together to come up with a solution that helped the homeless and that the neighborhood can support,” she said. “But instead, the mayor is just ramming this down onto the neighborhood without addressing any of the concerns.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11742418\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11742418 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Advocates for and against the navigation center pack the hearing room on Tuesday, hoisting competing orange and pink signs, as Port commissioners listen to hours of impassioned testimony. \u003ccite>(Matthew Green/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But for supporters of the plan, Tuesday’s vote signaled a major step forward in addressing the city’s worsening homeless crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This crisis belongs to all of us equally, no matter what neighborhood you live in,” said Carmen King, who lives next to a homeless shelter in the Tenderloin and insists that safety has never been an issue. “People die sleeping outdoors, and that’s the real issue here today. … All of us are safer when everyone in San Francisco can sleep indoors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First proposed in early March by Mayor London Breed, controversy over the center erupted weeks later after a group of neighborhood residents \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/safe-embarcadero-for-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">started an online fundraiser\u003c/a> to challenge the plan in court. The group has already hired a local land-use attorney who plans to file an appeal under the California Environmental Quality Act in an effort to block construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That campaign, in turn, provoked \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/safer-embarcadero-for-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a dueling fundraiser\u003c/a> among supporters of the proposal, one that quickly eclipsed its rival and has now raised more than $175,000, including major contributions from several high-profile tech CEOs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two fundraisers underscore just how divided San Franciscans are on the issue of homelessness and how to address it. And that makes new legislation, introduced earlier this month by San Francisco District 6 Supervisor Matt Haney — which would require a navigation center in each of San Francisco’s 11 districts — all the more controversial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ultimately I think this is going to be a positive thing for the many people that it serves,” said Haney, who supports the Embarcadero facility, which will be in his district. “And also for the community. I expect in a year or two the people in this community will look around and say there’s actually less people who are living on the streets in this neighborhood because of this navigation center. And they should be proud they had the opportunity to be part of the solution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco opened its first homeless navigation center in 2015 and currently operates six throughout the city. Unlike traditional shelters, the centers allow occupants to bring pets and don’t make them leave in the morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed navigation center in the Embarcadero is a critical part of Breed’s campaign pledge to open 1,000 new shelter beds by the end of 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But many of the mostly middle-aged residents who stayed for the duration of the hearing insisted they were in full support of more homeless services.

It also allows landlords to boost the rent to market rate once a tenant moves out, known as vacancy decontrol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new initiative would allow cities and counties to pursue a more constrained expansion of rent caps. New buildings would be exempt from rent control for 15 years, and landlords could still raise rents up to 15% when a tenant leaves a unit.

The initiative was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702293/early-results-show-rent-control-measure-trailing-at-polls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rejected by 59% of the voters\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Costa-Hawkins largely blocks California cities from expanding rent control to newer buildings, and bans rent caps on single-family homes and condominiums. It also allows landlords to boost the rent to market rate once a tenant moves out, known as vacancy decontrol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new initiative would allow cities and counties to pursue a more constrained expansion of rent caps. New buildings would be exempt from rent control for 15 years, and landlords could still raise rents up to 15% when a tenant leaves a unit. Landlords who own two or fewer units would be exempt from any local expansion of rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of rent control expansion argue the initiative will discourage developers from building more units of housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Weinstein certainly remains obsessed with bankrolling these policies that eat away at affordable housing for working families,\" said Debra Carlton, spokeswoman at the California Apartment Association. \"We argue that like Prop. 10, Weinstein’s new initiative would destroy middle class housing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement of the rent control ballot measure comes days before \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11732880/state-lawmakers-renew-push-for-rent-control-expansion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">similar legislation\u003c/a> faces its first hearing at the state capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re concerned about legislative inaction,\" Weinstein said. \"The odds are against the legislature passing the limited rent control bill that is coming up shortly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minutes after Weinstein presented his ballot measure proposal, State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) held a press conference in San Francisco denouncing attacks that the AIDS Healthcare Foundation made against his proposal to increase housing density in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Bill 50 \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11737353/bill-pushing-construction-of-higher-density-housing-moves-forward-in-state-legislature\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">would require that cities\u003c/a> allow four- or five-story apartment buildings near transit stops and job hubs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
