"content": "\u003cp>Lawmakers in Sacramento kicked off the new legislative session this week with a handful of proposals to help low-income residents avoid homelessness, and help get the tens of thousands of Californians without shelter off the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators and advocates are encouraged by the presence of an incoming governor focusing on homelessness and low-income renters, but acknowledge that shelters and supportive and low-income housing will have to compete for state dollars with other top priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the biggest thing is around the budget,” said Sharon Rapport, associate director of the Corporation for Supportive Housing. “We are hoping to get ongoing funding to address the affordable housing crisis and homelessness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, a group of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11677958/big-city-mayors-welcome-state-money-for-homeless-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">11 big-city mayors\u003c/a> rallied for the inclusion of $1.5 billion in the state budget for emergency housing and homeless services. The final budget included only a third of that amount, which would be sent to local governments and nonprofits on a one-time basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was much more directed towards those who are already homeless,” said state Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the $500 million was a historic expenditure, advocates are hoping for longer-term funding this year that can help pay for the construction of low-income housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And they see promise in two ideas that incoming governor Gavin Newsom voiced support for on the campaign trail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Bill 10, from Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, would increase the state’s Low-Income Housing Tax Credit by $500 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another bill from Chiu, Assembly Bill 11, would \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11709680/state-lawmakers-eye-redevelopment-2-0-to-build-affordable-housing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bring back redevelopment, \u003c/a>a program formerly used by local governments to capture billions of dollars for low-income housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov.

Jerry Brown and a Legislature intent on closing a massive budget hole. Democrats believe their proposal will get a boost next year by the support of the state’s new governor, Gavin Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think it is the right time to bring back a new version of redevelopment,” said Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu is introducing legislation on Monday, the first day of the new legislative session, that aims to bring back redevelopment agencies and the roughly $1 billion they \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/126834/brentwood-like-many-towns-in-california-caught-up-in-legal-fight-over-redevelopment-funds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provided annually \u003c/a>for affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“None of the [other] funding measures are as robust as the ongoing significant funding that redevelopment provided in the past,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redevelopment agencies were created in the 1940s to fight neighborhood blight. Under a method called tax-increment financing, the agencies were allowed to keep property taxes within their borders that would have otherwise gone to local governments and schools. At least 20 percent of those funds were dedicated to low-income housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facing a $25 billion deficit, one of Brown’s first moves in office was to propose the elimination of redevelopment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Redevelopment funds come directly from local property taxes that would otherwise pay for schools and core city and county services,” Brown told lawmakers in his \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2011/01/31/news16897/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2011 State of the State\u003c/a> address. “So it is a matter of hard choices, and I come down on the side of those who believe that core functions of government must be funded first.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2011 \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/analysis/2011/realignment/redevelopment_020911.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">analysis\u003c/a> of the governor’s proposal to end redevelopment agencies won positive reviews from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office, which supported Brown’s proposal given “significant policy shortcomings” of redevelopment and the need for the state to close a massive budget deficit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as the state’s economy improved, Brown showed little interest in reviving redevelopment. Now, Chiu and other housing-focused Democrats have an ally on redevelopment in the governor’s office. Governor-elect Newsom mentioned the program as a top priority during his campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mayors have perverse disincentives for housing. Cities collect retail sales tax, they don’t collect property tax,” Newsom said in \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101867627/cox-newsom-face-off-in-final-california-gubernatorial-debate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KQED’s gubernatorial debate\u003c/a>. “We would like to have that debate about reallocating that tax base.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That position may not sit well with California’s counties, which cheered the end of redevelopment.

Under a method called tax-increment financing, the agencies were allowed to keep property taxes within their borders that would have otherwise gone to local governments and schools. At least 20 percent of those funds were dedicated to low-income housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facing a $25 billion deficit, one of Brown’s first moves in office was to propose the elimination of redevelopment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Redevelopment funds come directly from local property taxes that would otherwise pay for schools and core city and county services,” Brown told lawmakers in his \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2011/01/31/news16897/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2011 State of the State\u003c/a> address. “So it is a matter of hard choices, and I come down on the side of those who believe that core functions of government must be funded first.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2011 \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/analysis/2011/realignment/redevelopment_020911.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">analysis\u003c/a> of the governor’s proposal to end redevelopment agencies won positive reviews from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office, which supported Brown’s proposal given “significant policy shortcomings” of redevelopment and the need for the state to close a massive budget deficit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as the state’s economy improved, Brown showed little interest in reviving redevelopment. Now, Chiu and other housing-focused Democrats have an ally on redevelopment in the governor’s office. Governor-elect Newsom mentioned the program as a top priority during his campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mayors have perverse disincentives for housing. Cities collect retail sales tax, they don’t collect property tax,” Newsom said in \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101867627/cox-newsom-face-off-in-final-california-gubernatorial-debate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KQED’s gubernatorial debate\u003c/a>. “We would like to have that debate about reallocating that tax base.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That position may not sit well with California’s counties, which cheered the end of redevelopment. When the agencies were dissolved, counties regained that stream of property tax revenue, said Dorothy Johnson, legislative representative for the California State Association of Counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When local revenue is diverted for purposes without the consent or the option of that local agency, that’s going to be a consistent problem,” Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While counties would have to participate in the redevelopment process under Chiu’s bill, he said cities would refund counties the tax dollars they stand to lose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taxpayer advocates are wary of the long-term spending that could come from the new legislation.

Forty-two years ago Harvey made a similar call when he lost his own race for the 17th Assembly district by fewer then 4,000 votes. It was one of many races that Harvey lost, in fact he was only a Supervisor for 11 months before his murder. And yet the message that is most associated with him is that of hope. Right now my heart is filled with hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a time of great change in our city. And through this campaign we have sent a powerful message that the people of San Francisco are alive, spirited, and ready to fight for our values and way of life.

We had a positive conversation and agreed to work together in the future for the good of San Francisco. While the race was often challenging, I applaud Supervisor Campos and all of his supporters on the passion and hard work that they put into the campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am truly humbled to be elected by the people of San Francisco to serve in the State Assembly. I ran for this office because I want to fight to make sure that Sacramento delivers real results for the people of our city on the challenges of our time - from housing affordability and education to transportation and the environment. For six years, I have been working to make City Hall more effective by bringing all sides together to get things done for all San Franciscans. I am honored that the voters have supported our vision of continuing to move San Francisco forward.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 4:45 p.m. Thursday (Nov. 6)\u003c/strong>: David Chiu's lead over David Campos has continued to expand.

A department spokesman said about 9,600 of those dropped-off, mail-in ballots were counted today, and the provisional ballots won't likely be touched until this weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University of San Francisco politics professor Corey Cook said those provisional ballots may favor a Campos comeback.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The question is, will they favor him enough to overcome the current gap,\" Cook said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Campos and David Chiu are locked in a dead heat in the race to replace Tom Ammiano in San Francisco's 17th Assembly District. San Francisco election officials say they still have tens of thousands of absentee and provisional ballots to count. Both the Chiu and Campos campaigns say they are \"cautiously optimistic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest returns showed Chiu leading by nearly 2,400 votes. \"We are still obviously going to be waiting for the returns but at the end of the day all of you have every single day renewed my hope in what San Francisco is about,\" Chiu told his supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, Campos says he is still holding out hope. \"We're optimistic that we're going to pull it off. I think that, you know, it's all about the turnout on election day and I know that we did an amazing job in getting people out,\" Campos told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos says he was expecting Chiu to grab an early lead as results came in on election night, but he is feeling optimistic about his current position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we understand that the early absentees are ballots that historically would go for a candidate like David Chiu,\" he said. \"But this is going to be decided by turnout, and it comes down to what the turnout on Election Day is. And we feel very confident about that … keep watching.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New results are expected by 4 p.m. Wednesday, but election officials say 42,000 vote-by-mail ballots and 11,000 provisional ballots will still need to be counted. They plan to work through the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's been an ugly contest, with independent committees \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/cityinsider/2014/10/20/independent-groups-hit-campos-chiu-hard-in-assembly-race/\">launching aggressive mail campaigns\u003c/a> attacking both candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos and Chiu, both 44, have spent six years on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and are lawyers who attended Harvard Law School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the two Democrats have a lot in common, and would likely vote along similar party lines in Sacramento, they have very different styles and approaches, said Corey Cook, a University of San Francisco political science professor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How each has responded to the consequences of the city's economic boom, he said, became the lightning rod issue in the race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A key differentiation are these very local issues around development, gentrification, displacement, renter protection. And I think this is where the two have had the most significant clashes over policy,” said Cook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos, who came to the U.S. from Guatemala as a 14-year-old undocumented immigrant, says he is the clear progressive choice because he's worked to tackle the needs of the city's most vulnerable residents, including getting laws passed to provide free transit for low-income youth, extend health care to low-wage workers and \u003ca href=\"http://sfappeal.com/2014/10/city-attorney-to-repeal-ruling-that-overturned-tenant-relocation-assistance-law/\">increase relocation payments\u003c/a> to evicted tenants.

Forty-two years ago Harvey made a similar call when he lost his own race for the 17th Assembly district by fewer then 4,000 votes. It was one of many races that Harvey lost, in fact he was only a Supervisor for 11 months before his murder. And yet the message that is most associated with him is that of hope. Right now my heart is filled with hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a time of great change in our city. And through this campaign we have sent a powerful message that the people of San Francisco are alive, spirited, and ready to fight for our values and way of life. We made clear that we love this City, refuse to be pushed out and are a force to be reckoned with.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And now, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/davidchiu.sf/posts/10152895294033081\" target=\"_blank\">an excerpt from Chiu's message\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>David Campos called me earlier tonight to concede in our race to represent California's 17th Assembly District. We had a positive conversation and agreed to work together in the future for the good of San Francisco. While the race was often challenging, I applaud Supervisor Campos and all of his supporters on the passion and hard work that they put into the campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am truly humbled to be elected by the people of San Francisco to serve in the State Assembly. I ran for this office because I want to fight to make sure that Sacramento delivers real results for the people of our city on the challenges of our time - from housing affordability and education to transportation and the environment. For six years, I have been working to make City Hall more effective by bringing all sides together to get things done for all San Franciscans. I am honored that the voters have supported our vision of continuing to move San Francisco forward.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 4:45 p.m. Thursday (Nov. 6)\u003c/strong>: David Chiu's lead over David Campos has continued to expand. Chiu now leads by 3.78 percent or 3,771 votes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 4:10 p.m. Wednesday (Nov. 5)\u003c/strong>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A department spokesman said about 9,600 of those dropped-off, mail-in ballots were counted today, and the provisional ballots won't likely be touched until this weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University of San Francisco politics professor Corey Cook said those provisional ballots may favor a Campos comeback.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The question is, will they favor him enough to overcome the current gap,\" Cook said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Campos and David Chiu are locked in a dead heat in the race to replace Tom Ammiano in San Francisco's 17th Assembly District. San Francisco election officials say they still have tens of thousands of absentee and provisional ballots to count. Both the Chiu and Campos campaigns say they are \"cautiously optimistic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest returns showed Chiu leading by nearly 2,400 votes. \"We are still obviously going to be waiting for the returns but at the end of the day all of you have every single day renewed my hope in what San Francisco is about,\" Chiu told his supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, Campos says he is still holding out hope. \"We're optimistic that we're going to pull it off. I think that, you know, it's all about the turnout on election day and I know that we did an amazing job in getting people out,\" Campos told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos says he was expecting Chiu to grab an early lead as results came in on election night, but he is feeling optimistic about his current position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we understand that the early absentees are ballots that historically would go for a candidate like David Chiu,\" he said. \"But this is going to be decided by turnout, and it comes down to what the turnout on Election Day is. And we feel very confident about that … keep watching.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New results are expected by 4 p.m. Wednesday, but election officials say 42,000 vote-by-mail ballots and 11,000 provisional ballots will still need to be counted. They plan to work through the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's been an ugly contest, with independent committees \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/cityinsider/2014/10/20/independent-groups-hit-campos-chiu-hard-in-assembly-race/\">launching aggressive mail campaigns\u003c/a> attacking both candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos and Chiu, both 44, have spent six years on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and are lawyers who attended Harvard Law School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the two Democrats have a lot in common, and would likely vote along similar party lines in Sacramento, they have very different styles and approaches, said Corey Cook, a University of San Francisco political science professor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How each has responded to the consequences of the city's economic boom, he said, became the lightning rod issue in the race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A key differentiation are these very local issues around development, gentrification, displacement, renter protection. And I think this is where the two have had the most significant clashes over policy,” said Cook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos, who came to the U.S. from Guatemala as a 14-year-old undocumented immigrant, says he is the clear progressive choice because he's worked to tackle the needs of the city's most vulnerable residents, including getting laws passed to provide free transit for low-income youth, extend health care to low-wage workers and \u003ca href=\"http://sfappeal.com/2014/10/city-attorney-to-repeal-ruling-that-overturned-tenant-relocation-assistance-law/\">increase relocation payments\u003c/a> to evicted tenants.
