His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"dkatayama":{"type":"authors","id":"7240","meta":{"index":"authors_1716337520","id":"7240","found":true},"name":"Devin Katayama","firstName":"Devin","lastName":"Katayama","slug":"dkatayama","email":"dkatayama@kqed.org","display_author_email":true,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"Editor of Talent and Development","bio":"Devin Katayama is former Editor of Talent and Development for KQED.

Common symptoms include delusions, social withdrawal and an inability to cope with strong emotions. “Schizophrenia interferes with all areas of mental life. It makes it hard to think clearly. It makes people fearful, angry sometimes, and sometimes numb,” Rosenheck added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why you see so many homeless people with schizophrenia. It’s hard for other people to connect with them and stay connected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the years wore on, Burton hired a private investigator to find Cloudia, though a lot of people told her to let it go. A lot of people tell her that now. But Burton won’t give up on the hope that Cloudia is still alive, and that there might be some benefit to seeing her again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not here to judge my mom, and I’m not here to ask her any questions on why she didn’t come home, or where she’s been, because she has her own reasons.

But my mom’s Social Security number was used at a homeless shelter in 2013.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a homeless shelter in Santa Monica, California, roughly 2,000 miles from Collinsville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton explained, “I didn’t think a whole lot of it because I’ve been on wild goose chases before. I told a customer, just for small talk, about the phone call conversation. Unbeknownst to me, that customer went home and started Googling the Web. Two days later, he called me on the phone and he said, ‘Robin, I need your email address. There’s something I want you to look at.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a 2014 article from the Los Angeles Times, talking about the annual point-in-time count of the local homeless population. There was one photograph up top, of a homeless woman on the street. “I knew immediately that it was her. Because your eyes don’t change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton called up the L.A.

In the same year. And that was all the confirmation I needed, ’cause I already knew it was her,” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tip was 2 years old, but she decided to chase it down anyway.

By then, Burton had talked with a police officer at the LAPD, who told her Cloudia had been sighted on L.A.’s skid row. Burton told Fox, “I’m not scared of skid row. That’s not my biggest fear. My biggest fear is my mom not wanting to come back with me. Alls I know is I have to find her.

She brought along another TV camera crew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People on the streets were not happy to see that, or her. “The very first day out there was very scary and emotional for me. I broke down crying. I had to leave. I had to leave and I had to go back to my motel and take a deep breath and re-evaluate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the motel room, Burton decided she needed to try again, in a different way. “Without the cameras, everything was so different. and it was actually the homeless that was helping me look for my mom. It was them that was telling me, ‘You know I wish I had somebody looking for me.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You could imagine Cloudia visiting a place like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.downtownwomenscenter.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Downtown Women’s Center\u003c/a>. Homeless and near-homeless women from all over Southern California come here looking for help for a range of problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We serve about 4,000 women a year and it’s very fairly infrequent that we see them reunify. It’s really probably only about five a year,” said chief program officer Erika Hartman, who betrays in her voice a certain exhaustion at the very idea of what sounds like a much desired fairy-tale ending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Robin Burton, founder of the Facebook group Missing & Homeless']‘I was very, very angry at God.

There are other families just like me.’[/pullquote]“Usually, at the point that they have come to skid row, they have really run out of other connections that they can turn to. Sometimes, it’s because they’ve really exhausted their relationships with people who are trying support them. Or who have set boundaries due to substance use. Lots of women report experiencing shame about homelessness,” Hartman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with help, three weeks passed with no sign of Cloudia. Some people told Burton they believed Cloudia must be dead. Whatever the case, Burton needed to go back home and get back to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That spring, Burton started a Facebook group called \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/MissingHomelessOrg/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Missing & Homeless\u003c/a>. The concept is simple: post a person’s story, with enough details and photos, in the hopes somebody in the group will recognize that missing person and help put them in touch with the family looking for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re not a piece of garbage, you know.

She presses them for more information. Where, exactly, did the person go missing? Are there any distinguishing characteristics, like eye color or tattoos? Do they suffer from mental illness or addiction?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The details make it easier to find somebody, but they also emotionally engage the Facebook group members. As opposed to say, some generic post about a Jane Doe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had no idea when I started ‘Missing & Homeless’ what it was going to become, and how many followers and supporters that we were gonna have. Then we started finding people. Four years later, we have probably found 70 or 80 people,” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It turns out a lot of the group’s 63,000 members are homeless themselves, typically logging into Facebook at public libraries — in part because they don’t have any barriers precluding them from getting involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='homelessness' label='More on Homelessness']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton has had a number of frustrating conversations with health care providers and social service workers who won’t say boo about someone who friends and family are searching for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can walk into a homeless shelter or a soup kitchen and they will not tell you if they’re there. My mom could be in the same building as me and I would never even know it. It’s heartbreaking, whenever you have a family member that is missing and living homeless, the lack of help that you get because of it,” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a very big reason why most social workers and health care providers would not tell Robin if her mom was in a particular building. It’s against federal law, specifically, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/laws-regulations/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996\u003c/a>. HIPAA, as most people call it, has a provision that protects the privacy of individuals’ medical records, including the fact of a person’s presence in a facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hartman of the Downtown Women’s Center explained staff are happy to take a message and pass it on. But it’s the homeless person’s choice whether to connect. Always. In part, because they can’t presume the best about people who say they’re searching for a loved one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have women who have been trafficked or abused or exploited by family members,” Hartman said. “Many of them don’t list an emergency contact. We have women who pass and we don’t know how to find a next of kin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, many of these women have good reasons they don’t want to be found. Burton gets that. She’s also seen enough to know some people are just too far gone into the abyss of mental illness, or addiction, or both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a lady that was looking for her son that was schizophrenic, and he was found after, after five or six years, and she didn’t recognize him at first. You know, because the streets weather you. You change drastically. He didn’t recognize her either, and he said, ‘You’re not my mom.’ He’s missing again,” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, we’ve been presuming that the right homeless person has been correctly identified. Sometimes, people eager to help say they’ve seen someone they actually haven’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It happened to Burton, just weeks after she returned home from skid row that first time. A volunteer from the Downtown Women’s Center called Burton to say Cloudia was there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton bought a plane ticket. She was sitting on that plane ahead of takeoff, when she got another call saying the volunteer was mistaken. The timing was such that Burton flew to L.A. and back: an expensive, useless and emotionally painful trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, that wouldn’t stop Burton from recommending families make every effort to file missing person reports, and take all the other recommended steps. Because the wins, when they happen, are so satisfying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11764346\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11764346\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38248_Corey-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A former workmate of Corey Abernathy's asked his parents for permission to post this on the Facebook group "Missing & Homeless."

When he was homeless, Corey used to camp in the Presidio, not far from where tourists whiz by on their rented bicycles and children eat ice cream while wearing fleece jackets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just thought too much about life. I felt a lot of pressure,” Corey said. He’s 5-foot-9. About 160 pounds. Hair and beard close-cropped. His blue eyes twinkle in the sun. He looks like he’s gotten a lot of sun in recent years, but nothing that seems out of the ordinary for an athletic white man in his early 30s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corey was 28 when he decided to throw on a backpack one day and leave his parents’ home in Willits in Mendocino County. With no warning, or explanation — though there were signs when the family looks back on it — that he wasn’t happy. That he was drifting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just remember that there was like a weird amount of anxiety on me,” Abernathy said. “I always tried to make sense of everything. I put too much pressure on myself that wasn’t really there. Yeah, the way I dealt with it was just drinking a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’d struggled with anxiety since childhood. He didn’t seem to have a strong idea for a career the way his older brother had. He dropped out of Sacramento State almost as soon as he got there. He lost a job in retail, then switched to a local casino. But there, he was surrounded by alcohol, and the consequences were predictable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corey started reading about people who dropped out of society for a different kind of life. “So it wasn’t like one single moment. It was something I was thinking about for probably like a year,” he explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Corey got a DUI, something he was really ashamed about. He thought to himself, if he had no money, he wouldn’t be able to buy alcohol. And if he had nothing to worry about, he wouldn’t want to buy alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He explained, “My car got towed and I just said, ‘I’m done.’ At the time, it was a good feeling. I don’t have to deal with problems I can’t figure out anymore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But remember, he was living with his parents at the time. And when he walked out that front door, he left no note. No explanation. His mom, Cathy, is a registered nurse. His dad, Robert, is a retired custom cabinetmaker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His father recalled the day, “Got home and the house was empty. To me, it looked like he’d just walked out the door to go out for a walk. Everything was still in his room. Nothing disturbed. He just disappeared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They called the police and filed a missing person’s report. Only to discover the police in Mendocino County have a loose attitude about adults who disappear, given the local marijuana growing industry’s reliance on seasonal workers. In this business, pruning is called “trimming,” and many of the trimmers come and go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Mendocino County, Sonoma County if a adult is missing, they’re out trimming,” Cathy said. “It was October and it was trimming season. They took the report, but they weren’t doing anything with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Robert and Cathy had to start looking on their own. Corey’s friends helped. A former workmate tacking up a poster in Ukiah met a homeless person who directed them to Fort Bragg, where Robert and Cathy found Corey in a park, about six weeks after he disappeared. But Corey wouldn’t come back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wasn’t ready to see them,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Corey Abernathy, building a new life for himself in San Francisco after more than three years homeless']‘I gave everything up, you know.

I distinctively classified myself aside from society.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert described his thinking in that moment, “As much as I wanted to grab him and throw him in the car, I knew he’d be gone again. So that was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make was to let him go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they did, and Corey kept hitchhiking, to Point Arena, Gualala and finally San Francisco — where he proceeded to bounce from sleeping rough in the Presidio to side streets and shelters, sporadically sending his parents Facebook messages from public libraries. Until he stopped doing that. The last one was in February 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt regret and guilt. I knew I was going to have to figure out a way to speak to them, and yeah, apologize,” Corey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every now and then, his parents would get a lead and take off to follow it, only to find it mistaken. Often, from somebody overcome with wishful thinking. A lot of guys on the street look like Corey. “OK, he’s here. He’s in Yuba City. He’s in Sacramento. Manteca. Denver. I mean, you name it, he was there,” Robert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weeks turned into months, and then years. Corey’s last messages came from San Francisco. So Robert and Cathy drove south repeatedly to scour the city’s Tenderloin on foot. “He could be on the next block over headed in the opposite direction, and we’d never know it. You know, there were days when we walked 25 miles,” Robert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The night before Corey left his parents’ home in Willits, Cathy started having this recurring dream — nightmare, really.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In it, she keeps getting woken up by her nephew, Bobby, who committed suicide in 2010. It’s like he was a contact from the underworld, trying to tell her something about her son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’d wake me up that, ‘We gotta get going.’ I was on the hard ground. I was cold. I wasn’t safe. I had to get moving. You know, we had to get moving,” she recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, at some point, the nightmares abruptly stopped. Cathy had two theories about what happened to Corey. “Maybe, you know, he’s getting his life together. Or he wasn’t on this earth anymore. You know, it was one of the two.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it happened, this was right around the time Corey was ready for rehab. He got involved with \u003ca href=\"https://www.aa.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alcoholics Anonymous\u003c/a>. He got into a sober living facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he didn’t reconnect with his parents. And two years passed. That’s when, early this year, one of Corey’s old workmates posted on “Missing & Homeless.” And someone Corey lives with recognized him. And told Corey. And Corey called home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Robert Abernathy, whose son went missing for more than three years']‘You see the homeless.

You know, we sat down, and he talked about why — some of the things that made him leave. And him realizing that the DUI, everybody gets one and it’s nothing to run from, but this is something he’s been thinking about, and it’s something he needed to finish. And it’s like, he’s part of our family, and as I told him, he’s going to be my son forever, no matter what. I still love him,” Robert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, Robert and Cathy come down from Willits periodically to visit Corey in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corey doesn’t have a strong answer as to why he didn’t call his parents before a prompt from the acquaintance who spotted him on “Missing & Homeless.” What Corey can say is that he was ready when he got the nudge.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Kind of Story Robin Burton Lives For\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“A lot of homeless are afraid to contact their family because they don’t know if they’re going to be turned away,” Burton said. “Some, you know, it’s just they’ve been gone for so long they don’t even know what to say to families anymore. Those are our miracle stories. There was a reason he was supposed to be found, and there was closure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The search for Cloudia morphed into something else for Burton. She’s found a mission, a purpose in life, as a guide for others in need. The story about Burton’s search for her mom has become an invitation for people to trust her. “The same people have probably heard it a thousand times. Well, now they’re coming to me for help and we’re finding their families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say there haven’t been personal wins for Burton, too. She never knew who her father was. But this summer, she found him. She was told as a kid that her mom got pregnant at 17, and had her at 18. But her grandparents didn’t know who her father was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, Burton took a DNA test and it led to Kansas and her 71- year-old dad. He doesn’t profess to remember Cloudia, but has met with Burton once already — and she’s going to Kansas soon to spend some vacation time with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton’s got a new lead for Cloudia, by the way, from someone in San Francisco who thought they saw her back in June. She would be 66 years old now. White woman, round face that’s probably slouched somewhat with age, presumed shoulder-length gray hair. Might still answer to the name of Cloudia. Or Leslie. Or Diane. Or some other name we don’t know about.

It makes people fearful, angry sometimes, and sometimes numb,” Rosenheck added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why you see so many homeless people with schizophrenia. It’s hard for other people to connect with them and stay connected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the years wore on, Burton hired a private investigator to find Cloudia, though a lot of people told her to let it go. A lot of people tell her that now. But Burton won’t give up on the hope that Cloudia is still alive, and that there might be some benefit to seeing her again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not here to judge my mom, and I’m not here to ask her any questions on why she didn’t come home, or where she’s been, because she has her own reasons.

I told a customer, just for small talk, about the phone call conversation. Unbeknownst to me, that customer went home and started Googling the Web. Two days later, he called me on the phone and he said, ‘Robin, I need your email address. There’s something I want you to look at.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a 2014 article from the Los Angeles Times, talking about the annual point-in-time count of the local homeless population. There was one photograph up top, of a homeless woman on the street. “I knew immediately that it was her. Because your eyes don’t change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton called up the L.A.

In the same year. And that was all the confirmation I needed, ’cause I already knew it was her,” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tip was 2 years old, but she decided to chase it down anyway.

She’s also seen enough to know some people are just too far gone into the abyss of mental illness, or addiction, or both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a lady that was looking for her son that was schizophrenic, and he was found after, after five or six years, and she didn’t recognize him at first. You know, because the streets weather you. You change drastically. He didn’t recognize her either, and he said, ‘You’re not my mom.’ He’s missing again,” Burton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, we’ve been presuming that the right homeless person has been correctly identified. Sometimes, people eager to help say they’ve seen someone they actually haven’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It happened to Burton, just weeks after she returned home from skid row that first time. A volunteer from the Downtown Women’s Center called Burton to say Cloudia was there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton bought a plane ticket. She was sitting on that plane ahead of takeoff, when she got another call saying the volunteer was mistaken. The timing was such that Burton flew to L.A. and back: an expensive, useless and emotionally painful trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, that wouldn’t stop Burton from recommending families make every effort to file missing person reports, and take all the other recommended steps. Because the wins, when they happen, are so satisfying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11764346\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11764346\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38248_Corey-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A former workmate of Corey Abernathy's asked his parents for permission to post this on the Facebook group "Missing & Homeless."

When he was homeless, Corey used to camp in the Presidio, not far from where tourists whiz by on their rented bicycles and children eat ice cream while wearing fleece jackets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just thought too much about life. I felt a lot of pressure,” Corey said. He’s 5-foot-9. About 160 pounds. Hair and beard close-cropped. His blue eyes twinkle in the sun. He looks like he’s gotten a lot of sun in recent years, but nothing that seems out of the ordinary for an athletic white man in his early 30s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corey was 28 when he decided to throw on a backpack one day and leave his parents’ home in Willits in Mendocino County. With no warning, or explanation — though there were signs when the family looks back on it — that he wasn’t happy. That he was drifting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just remember that there was like a weird amount of anxiety on me,” Abernathy said. “I always tried to make sense of everything. I put too much pressure on myself that wasn’t really there. Yeah, the way I dealt with it was just drinking a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’d struggled with anxiety since childhood. He didn’t seem to have a strong idea for a career the way his older brother had. He dropped out of Sacramento State almost as soon as he got there. He lost a job in retail, then switched to a local casino. But there, he was surrounded by alcohol, and the consequences were predictable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corey started reading about people who dropped out of society for a different kind of life. “So it wasn’t like one single moment. It was something I was thinking about for probably like a year,” he explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Corey got a DUI, something he was really ashamed about. He thought to himself, if he had no money, he wouldn’t be able to buy alcohol. And if he had nothing to worry about, he wouldn’t want to buy alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He explained, “My car got towed and I just said, ‘I’m done.’ At the time, it was a good feeling. I don’t have to deal with problems I can’t figure out anymore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But remember, he was living with his parents at the time. And when he walked out that front door, he left no note. No explanation. His mom, Cathy, is a registered nurse. His dad, Robert, is a retired custom cabinetmaker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His father recalled the day, “Got home and the house was empty. To me, it looked like he’d just walked out the door to go out for a walk. Everything was still in his room. Nothing disturbed. He just disappeared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They called the police and filed a missing person’s report. Only to discover the police in Mendocino County have a loose attitude about adults who disappear, given the local marijuana growing industry’s reliance on seasonal workers. In this business, pruning is called “trimming,” and many of the trimmers come and go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Mendocino County, Sonoma County if a adult is missing, they’re out trimming,” Cathy said. “It was October and it was trimming season. They took the report, but they weren’t doing anything with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Robert and Cathy had to start looking on their own. Corey’s friends helped. A former workmate tacking up a poster in Ukiah met a homeless person who directed them to Fort Bragg, where Robert and Cathy found Corey in a park, about six weeks after he disappeared. But Corey wouldn’t come back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wasn’t ready to see them,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘I gave everything up, you know.

So that was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make was to let him go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they did, and Corey kept hitchhiking, to Point Arena, Gualala and finally San Francisco — where he proceeded to bounce from sleeping rough in the Presidio to side streets and shelters, sporadically sending his parents Facebook messages from public libraries. Until he stopped doing that. The last one was in February 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt regret and guilt. I knew I was going to have to figure out a way to speak to them, and yeah, apologize,” Corey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every now and then, his parents would get a lead and take off to follow it, only to find it mistaken. Often, from somebody overcome with wishful thinking. A lot of guys on the street look like Corey. “OK, he’s here. He’s in Yuba City. He’s in Sacramento. Manteca. Denver. I mean, you name it, he was there,” Robert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weeks turned into months, and then years. Corey’s last messages came from San Francisco. So Robert and Cathy drove south repeatedly to scour the city’s Tenderloin on foot. “He could be on the next block over headed in the opposite direction, and we’d never know it. You know, there were days when we walked 25 miles,” Robert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The night before Corey left his parents’ home in Willits, Cathy started having this recurring dream — nightmare, really.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In it, she keeps getting woken up by her nephew, Bobby, who committed suicide in 2010. It’s like he was a contact from the underworld, trying to tell her something about her son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’d wake me up that, ‘We gotta get going.’ I was on the hard ground. I was cold. I wasn’t safe. I had to get moving. You know, we had to get moving,” she recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, at some point, the nightmares abruptly stopped. Cathy had two theories about what happened to Corey. “Maybe, you know, he’s getting his life together. Or he wasn’t on this earth anymore. You know, it was one of the two.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it happened, this was right around the time Corey was ready for rehab. He got involved with \u003ca href=\"https://www.aa.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alcoholics Anonymous\u003c/a>. He got into a sober living facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he didn’t reconnect with his parents. And two years passed. That’s when, early this year, one of Corey’s old workmates posted on “Missing & Homeless.” And someone Corey lives with recognized him. And told Corey. And Corey called home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘You see the homeless. You hear about people missing family.

And him realizing that the DUI, everybody gets one and it’s nothing to run from, but this is something he’s been thinking about, and it’s something he needed to finish. And it’s like, he’s part of our family, and as I told him, he’s going to be my son forever, no matter what. I still love him,” Robert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, Robert and Cathy come down from Willits periodically to visit Corey in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corey doesn’t have a strong answer as to why he didn’t call his parents before a prompt from the acquaintance who spotted him on “Missing & Homeless.” What Corey can say is that he was ready when he got the nudge.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Kind of Story Robin Burton Lives For\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“A lot of homeless are afraid to contact their family because they don’t know if they’re going to be turned away,” Burton said. “Some, you know, it’s just they’ve been gone for so long they don’t even know what to say to families anymore. Those are our miracle stories. There was a reason he was supposed to be found, and there was closure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The search for Cloudia morphed into something else for Burton. She’s found a mission, a purpose in life, as a guide for others in need. The story about Burton’s search for her mom has become an invitation for people to trust her. “The same people have probably heard it a thousand times. Well, now they’re coming to me for help and we’re finding their families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say there haven’t been personal wins for Burton, too. She never knew who her father was. But this summer, she found him. She was told as a kid that her mom got pregnant at 17, and had her at 18. But her grandparents didn’t know who her father was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, Burton took a DNA test and it led to Kansas and her 71- year-old dad. He doesn’t profess to remember Cloudia, but has met with Burton once already — and she’s going to Kansas soon to spend some vacation time with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burton’s got a new lead for Cloudia, by the way, from someone in San Francisco who thought they saw her back in June. She would be 66 years old now. White woman, round face that’s probably slouched somewhat with age, presumed shoulder-length gray hair. Might still answer to the name of Cloudia. Or Leslie. Or Diane. Or some other name we don’t know about.

The plan called for building two centers — the first city-owned shelters — where homeless clients could be assessed and receive health and counseling services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agnos’s reputation, though, took a hit that summer when hundreds of homeless people set up camp in Civic Center Plaza. The press dubbed it “Camp Agnos.\" For months, he allowed the camp and its residents to remain, but under mounting pressure, eventually ordered police to dismantle it. His string of shelters opened hastily in 1990 to accommodate victims of the October 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, but lacking adequate resources, they soon became overcrowded and understaffed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following year, Agnos was unseated by Frank Jordan, his former police chief, who pledged to dramatically change tack and deal with homelessness through a law-and-order approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>1992-1996: Jordan’s 'Matrix'\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765136\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765136\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1-800x623.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1-800x623.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1-160x125.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Frank Jordan, who was San Francisco's police chief before becoming mayor, tells a homeless man where he can find shelter for the night. \u003ccite>(Brant Ward/SF Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Soon after taking office, Mayor Frank Jordan instituted his Matrix program, an enforcement-based strategy using police to forcibly clear homeless people from the streets and steer them into health and housing services.

But then the numbers froze — at over 6,000 people — through the remainder of his tenure.

Are they allowed in shelters?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>According to Renee Lowry, executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.petsofthehomeless.org/\">Pets of the Homeless\u003c/a>, there are three common ways homeless owners get their pets: They owned the pet before they became homeless, they found a stray pet while living on the street, or the pet was given to them by another homeless person. Pets of the Homeless is a national organization that focuses on feeding and caring for pets of homeless owners. Its website also has \u003ca href=\"https://www.petsofthehomeless.org/get-help/find-locations/#latitude=39.163798&longitude=-119.767403&zoom=12&types%255B%255D=food-supplies&types%255B%255D=shelters&types%255B%255D=resources\">a tool for finding local resources and pet-friendly homeless shelters\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeless pet owners may have to pass up housing opportunities because the majority of homeless shelters do not allow pets. According to Pets of the Homeless, in San Francisco only the Navigation Centers accept residents with pets. In the greater Bay Area the only pet-friendly shelters are PATH San Jose and HomeFirst in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are several organizations in San Francisco that provide free or reduced pet food and veterinary care, such as Veterinary Street Outreach Services (\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfccc.org/veterinary-street-outreach\">Vet SOS\u003c/a>) run by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfccc.org/\">San Francisco Community Clinic Consortium\u003c/a>. The San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfspca.org/\">SF SPCA\u003c/a>) provides free spaying and neutering to homeless owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr_Y3ZGSwfE\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Who are the people creating and selling the S.F. newspaper Street Sheet?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Street Sheet is a twice-monthly publication run by the Coalition on Homelessness. Many of the publication’s contributors have personal experience with homelessness and pursue stories sourced from the community, such as the rise of fentanyl in the Tenderloin and pest infestations in single-room-occupancy (SRO) hotels. After the stories are written, editor Quiver Watts and assistant-editor TJ Johnston edit them and get them ready to print.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Street Sheet is a way … to demonstrate that people who have lived experience of homelessness are the experts on their own lives, and therefore, as experts on what they most need and what policies [are] going to be most effective,” says Watts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up to 100 copies are given to vendors each day, and each copy can be sold for $2. Vendors keep all of the proceeds, and many use their earnings from Street Sheet to pay for necessities like housing, food and medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With about 230 homeless or low-income vendors, Street Sheet reaches about 16,000 readers each issue. Watts says it provides the vendors a way to ask for money while maintaining their dignity, and provides readers a unique perspective on homelessness and an opportunity to engage face-to-face with vendors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"How many people are homeless?

Are they allowed in shelters?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>According to Renee Lowry, executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.petsofthehomeless.org/\">Pets of the Homeless\u003c/a>, there are three common ways homeless owners get their pets: They owned the pet before they became homeless, they found a stray pet while living on the street, or the pet was given to them by another homeless person. Pets of the Homeless is a national organization that focuses on feeding and caring for pets of homeless owners. Its website also has \u003ca href=\"https://www.petsofthehomeless.org/get-help/find-locations/#latitude=39.163798&longitude=-119.767403&zoom=12&types%255B%255D=food-supplies&types%255B%255D=shelters&types%255B%255D=resources\">a tool for finding local resources and pet-friendly homeless shelters\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeless pet owners may have to pass up housing opportunities because the majority of homeless shelters do not allow pets. According to Pets of the Homeless, in San Francisco only the Navigation Centers accept residents with pets. In the greater Bay Area the only pet-friendly shelters are PATH San Jose and HomeFirst in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are several organizations in San Francisco that provide free or reduced pet food and veterinary care, such as Veterinary Street Outreach Services (\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfccc.org/veterinary-street-outreach\">Vet SOS\u003c/a>) run by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfccc.org/\">San Francisco Community Clinic Consortium\u003c/a>. The San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfspca.org/\">SF SPCA\u003c/a>) provides free spaying and neutering to homeless owners.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Cr_Y3ZGSwfE'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Cr_Y3ZGSwfE'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch3>Who are the people creating and selling the S.F. newspaper Street Sheet?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Street Sheet is a twice-monthly publication run by the Coalition on Homelessness. Many of the publication’s contributors have personal experience with homelessness and pursue stories sourced from the community, such as the rise of fentanyl in the Tenderloin and pest infestations in single-room-occupancy (SRO) hotels. After the stories are written, editor Quiver Watts and assistant-editor TJ Johnston edit them and get them ready to print.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Street Sheet is a way … to demonstrate that people who have lived experience of homelessness are the experts on their own lives, and therefore, as experts on what they most need and what policies [are] going to be most effective,” says Watts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up to 100 copies are given to vendors each day, and each copy can be sold for $2. Vendors keep all of the proceeds, and many use their earnings from Street Sheet to pay for necessities like housing, food and medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With about 230 homeless or low-income vendors, Street Sheet reaches about 16,000 readers each issue. Watts says it provides the vendors a way to ask for money while maintaining their dignity, and provides readers a unique perspective on homelessness and an opportunity to engage face-to-face with vendors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11764548/10-answers-to-your-questions-about-homelessness-in-san-francisco","authors":["11619","102"],"categories":["news_6266","news_8"],"tags":["news_18426","news_24374","news_26313","news_4020","news_21210"],"featImg":"news_11764779","label":"news"},"news_11750637":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11750637","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"news","id":"11750637","score":null,"sort":[1559124055000]},"parent":0,"labelTerm":{},"blocks":[],"publishDate":1559124055,"format":"audio","title":"A Prescription Your Doctor Can't Write: Housing as Health Care","headTitle":"A Prescription Your Doctor Can’t Write: Housing as Health Care | KQED","content":"\u003cp>When Bay Area cities clear homeless encampments, proponents of such plans often say they’re trying to fix a public health issue, or that encampments have become unsafe and unhealthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, the Berkeley City Council doubled-down by taking no action on a proposal that would have temporarily stopped enforcement of an ordinance to clear sidewalks of homeless people’s things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some are making the case that treating housing as an issue of public health is more effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this podcast episode of \u003cem>The Bay\u003c/em>, you’ll listen to a conversation with Dr. Bamberger about the how aging while homeless can lead to more severe health problems, and why he thinks Medicaid and other healthcare funding should be used to pay to house sick, homeless people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have used public health as the reason to clear a lot of these encampments,” says Dr. Joshua Bamberger, a family medicine physician and associate clinical professor at the University of California San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bamberger says it doesn’t matter what medicines he prescribes — they won’t help if his patients don’t have a home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nothing I have in my black bag improves the health of a homeless person … other than housing,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Click the “listen” button above to hear the 17-minute interview, or find the episode on one of the various podcast apps on your smartphone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guest:\u003c/strong> Dr. Joshua Bamberger, associate clinical professor of family and community medicine and UC San Francisco\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Subscribe to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/the-bay\">The Bay\u003c/a> on any of your favorite podcast apps to hear more local, Bay Area stories like this one.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
