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.",

She noted, however, that it was just one step in a much larger effort. “I think it’s really important to recognize that two homes are not going to solve the crisis of homelessness that we’re currently experiencing in Sonoma County.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Sonoma County Supervisor Lynda Hopkins\"]‘I think that it’s a critical step in the right direction.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county is buying the two homes — located on Sonoma Avenue in Santa Rosa and Arthur Street in Cotati — for just over $2.1 million, including furniture, the board said. Both properties have two bedrooms and additional detached units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That money comes from the roughly $5 million the county recently allocated from the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/active-funding/nplh.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“No Place Like Home”\u003c/a> program, and an additional $1 million from its own general fund, which it plans to use to purchase up to five shared housing properties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board on Monday announced that it will not purchase a third property it had been considering due to cost and time constraints that arose during the inspection process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county said it will continue looking for more homes to purchase over a wide geographical area. “It’s not fair to sort of concentrate all of the homeless-serving facilities in just one neighborhood,” Hopkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopkins said residents will move in “hopefully in a matter of months,” but noted that the county still has to furnish the homes and select its occupants. It is still unclear how many people the properties will accommodate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county’s interdepartmental multi-disciplinary team, part of the Department of Health Services, which provides wraparound supportive homeless services, will interview people living on the trail and provide housing recommendations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For months, makeshift tents and tarps have filled a stretch of the paved Joe Rodota Trail that runs alongside Highway 12, a major commuter artery through Santa Rosa, the county seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A January \u003ca href=\"https://srcity.org/DocumentCenter/View/24920/2019-Sonoma-County-Homeless-Census-Executive-Summary?bidId=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">point-in-time homeless count\u003c/a> reported 2,951 homeless residents in the county, an increase of more than 100 since the 2017 count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Escalating public concern over the trail’s unsanitary conditions, including vermin and discarded drug needles, was echoed during the meeting’s public comment period. For over an hour, county residents cited concerns over costs and safety, among other things, in a bid to convince supervisors not to purchase the homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Florida Dates, a 30-year Santa Rosa resident and longtime landlord, objected to the purchase of the property in her city. During her time in the area, she’s lived in her car and given up a pet in order to find a place to rent, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all make decisions in our lives. These people have a long way to go before they deserve to get in a historic house, a beautiful home,” she said. “I just don’t see the economics of it — up-front cost and continued maintenance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this isn’t a new idea. The county has already purchased 60 shared housing units for people experiencing homelessness, a model Hopkins said has proven to be a “really effective” step in helping people become self-sufficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will help a lot more than just the initial folks who move in, because the goal is to actually get those folks to move out and into self-supported affordable housing from there,” Hopkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opposition to these kinds of projects, Hopkins added, is also nothing new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes they cause a stir when they first go in, because people are concerned, but those concerns often wind up ameliorated by successful management,” Hopkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board on Tuesday also voted to confirm Barbie Robinson, the county health services director, as interim head of the Community Development Commission, which oversees homeless services. She will replace Geoffrey Ross, who announced his resignation last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson has received praise from supervisors, including Hopkins, for working alongside Ross to craft a plan to use\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11792903/sonoma-county-approves-12-million-urgent-plan-for-homeless\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> $12 million in emergency funds\u003c/a> to help residents of the encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11795790,forum_2010101875281,news_11792903,news_11679471\" label=\"Related coverage\"]Following intense public discussion, the board also selected the location for a new outdoor shelter on the northern end of Sonoma Valley, where some of the trail’s residents will camp alongside a navigation trailer with supportive services. It will equip people with “fundamental human needs,” such as restrooms, electricity, water and, ideally, shower and laundry facilities, Hopkins told \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101875281/tensions-mount-as-sonoma-county-begins-addressing-homeless-encampment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KQED’s Forum on Friday\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the end of the day it’s about having a continuum of care. It’s about having a suite of different housing options,” Hopkins said. “Not everyone is ready to walk into a house.“\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some community groups have also stepped up to support additional wraparound service for residents of the encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miles Sarvis-Wilburn, a co-founder of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SWBCSonoma/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Squeaky Wheel Bicycle Coalition\u003c/a>, one such volunteer group, said he supports the home purchases, but stressed that other options are needed, as the county can’t simply buy homes for all of its homeless people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also remain skeptical, and rightfully so, that such an approach is not scalable,” Sarvis-Wilburn said. “It’s not a long-term viable solution for everyone, but we support it as a part of a larger more diverse solution.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

It is still unclear how many people the properties will accommodate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county’s interdepartmental multi-disciplinary team, part of the Department of Health Services, which provides wraparound supportive homeless services, will interview people living on the trail and provide housing recommendations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For months, makeshift tents and tarps have filled a stretch of the paved Joe Rodota Trail that runs alongside Highway 12, a major commuter artery through Santa Rosa, the county seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A January \u003ca href=\"https://srcity.org/DocumentCenter/View/24920/2019-Sonoma-County-Homeless-Census-Executive-Summary?bidId=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">point-in-time homeless count\u003c/a> reported 2,951 homeless residents in the county, an increase of more than 100 since the 2017 count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Escalating public concern over the trail’s unsanitary conditions, including vermin and discarded drug needles, was echoed during the meeting’s public comment period.

The county has already purchased 60 shared housing units for people experiencing homelessness, a model Hopkins said has proven to be a “really effective” step in helping people become self-sufficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will help a lot more than just the initial folks who move in, because the goal is to actually get those folks to move out and into self-supported affordable housing from there,” Hopkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opposition to these kinds of projects, Hopkins added, is also nothing new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes they cause a stir when they first go in, because people are concerned, but those concerns often wind up ameliorated by successful management,” Hopkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board on Tuesday also voted to confirm Barbie Robinson, the county health services director, as interim head of the Community Development Commission, which oversees homeless services.

"content": "\u003cp>Declaring that moral persuasion and economic incentives aren’t working to bring people in from the sidewalks, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s task force on homelessness called Monday for a “legally enforceable mandate” that would force municipalities and the state to house the growing number of homeless Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal, which came as Newsom kicked off a \u003ca href=\"https://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2020/01/12/gov-newsom-to-embark-on-week-long-homeless-tour-throughout-state/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">weeklong tour\u003c/a> of the state aimed at drawing attention to the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/californias-homelessness-crisis-explained/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homelessness crisis\u003c/a>, urged the Legislature to put a measure on the November ballot that would force California cities and counties to take steps to provide housing for the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/californias-homelessness-crisis-explained/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more than 150,000\u003c/a> homeless people in the state, or face legal action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such a measure would require a two-thirds vote of both legislative houses to be brought to voters. California law does not currently penalize the state or local governments for failing to reduce homeless populations, or to make housing sufficiently available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf\"]'Housing is health. And to recognize that health dollars should appropriately be used to support housing is a very important part of our recommendations.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas and Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, who co-chair the governor’s 13-member Council of Regional Homeless Advisors, have been \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/commentary/california-should-make-clear-there-is-a-right-to-housing-not-simply-shelter/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">advocating \u003c/a>some sort of enforceable “right” to sleep indoors since the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit \u003ca href=\"https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2018/09/04/15-35845.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">struck down laws against homeless camping\u003c/a>. That ruling, which the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/why-boise-matters-kamala-harris-poll-numbers-endangered-species-and-rehabilitation-through-college/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Supreme Court let stand\u003c/a> just last month, dramatically limited cities’ enforcement options, finding it to be cruel and unusual punishment to prosecute people for sleeping on the street if sufficient shelter isn’t available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California mandates free public education for all of its children and subsidized health insurance for its low-income residents. It requires its subdivisions to provide services to people with developmental disabilities and foster children,” the council wrote in a letter signed by both elected officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yet everything that state, county and city governments do to alleviate this crisis is voluntary. There is no mandate to ensure people can live indoors, no legal accountability for failing to do so, no enforceable housing production standard and no requirement to consolidate and coordinate funding streams across jurisdictions. The results speak for themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council’s recommendation stops short of Steinberg’s and Ridley-Thomas’ initial call for a “right to shelter,” which would not only have required cities to provide immediate beds, but also obligated people experiencing homelessness to come inside. But it adds momentum to the strategy of elevating litigation as a tool to accomplish what compassion and money haven’t been able to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, visiting a homelessness program in Nevada County, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CAgovernor/videos/2568716870024650/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said Monday\u003c/a> he “would lean in the direction” of speedily deploying a legal “obligation” to supply sufficient services and housing, adding that “a number of cities and counties” have volunteered to do demonstration projects over the next several months, “not the next few years.” (Ridley-Thomas later said he would propose such a pilot in L.A. County this week.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I broadly have been encouraging this debate about obligations,” the governor said, adding that “there’s a distinction between rights and obligations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without elaborating on that distinction, he seconded the task force’s point that many of the state’s responsibilities stem from legal mandates: “We do it in almost every other respect,” Newsom said. “On this issue we don’t, and I think that’s missing. The question is how do you do it ... . This is not black and white. This is tough stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Municipalities made it clear they would need more clarification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A legally enforceable mandate can only work with clarity of who’s obligated to do what and what new sustainable resources will fund it; that’s the ticket for clear expectations and accountability,” said Graham Knaus, executive director of the California State Association of Counties, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg, meanwhile, called Monday’s proposal an improvement on the original “right to shelter” concept, saying a mandate by any name would still have the force of law. The point, the mayor said, is to give the courts a legal “last resort” to address pleas to supersede political gridlock, just as federal laws have in the past armed judges to combat other social crises. “It’s analogous to desegregation,” Steinberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/klnd87KdQSE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The task force’s proposal would let a “designated public official” sue the government for not doing enough to offer emergency and permanent housing to the homeless. A judge could then intervene to force a city to approve an emergency shelter, for example, or redirect budget funds to homelessness services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal, however, so far lacks specifics on how taxpayers would pay for such a mandate. The letter released by the task force, which includes local elected officials from large and small cities, states that “more state resources will undoubtedly be required” but includes no estimate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State and local governments in recent years have poured billions into combating homelessness, only to watch the problem worsen as ever-rising rents drive Californians to the streets faster than they can be re-housed. On Friday, for the second straight year, Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2020/01/gavin-newsom-budget-california-trump-housing-homelessness-schools-wildfire-surplus/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">proposed more than $1 billion in new state funds\u003c/a> to fight homelessness, calling it “the issue that defines our times” in California. But the state’s “point-in-time” homeless count jumped 17% between 2018 and last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, a task force member, said leverage is needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do the things we are required to do first ... then for everything else we try very hard,” Fletcher said. “Absent a legally enforceable obligation, I believe people will continue to try very hard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a legal mandate would arm jurisdictions to tackle “the underlying problem which is poverty,” rather than appease communities with shelter beds, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Putting the Onus on Government \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Steinberg and Ridley-Thomas \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-08-07/newsom-sidesteps-right-to-shelter-plan-but-says-homeless-on-streets-cannot-persist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">floated the idea\u003c/a> of a statewide “right to shelter” law last year. Spurred by decades-old litigation, \u003ca href=\"https://www.marketplace.org/2015/09/30/behind-new-yorks-right-shelter-policy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York state\u003c/a> has a “right to shelter” policy that makes its state and local governments legally liable for having emergency shelter beds available for every unhoused person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many credit “right to shelter” for New York’s success in reducing the number of people sleeping on the streets, Newsom and advocates for the homeless have balked at the idea. Some advocates fear it would divert finite funding from \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/californias-homelessness-crisis-explained/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">permanent supportive housing\u003c/a>, which experts say is a more long-term, albeit expensive solution; others worry about cost and potential civil liberties violations that might arise from requiring a homeless person to accept shelter if it’s available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"homelessness\"]“The reason why right to shelter is a mistake is because it diverts resources from the solution, which is housing, not shelter,” said Sharon Rapport, California policy director for the Corporation for Supportive Housing and a member of the task force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the policy proposed by the task force, a local government would be required to develop a plan to house the vast majority of its homeless people within “an aggressive but reasonable period of time.” “Reasonable” is not defined in the letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However Steinberg said that, in the case of Sacramento, “aggressive but reasonable” might mean a 1,500-person annual reduction in the city’s 5,500-plus homeless population, and housing the “the vast majority” within five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates on the homelessness issue said more specifics are needed, but applauded the task force’s recommendations as a philosophical pushback, at least, against efforts to criminalize living on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any kind of policies that are promoting locking up people or warehousing people or punishing people for being homeless, the council is saying those policies have been very ineffective in the past,” Rapport said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Bakersfield recently proposed ramping up enforcement of low-level drug offenses to get people off the streets there, and advocates have expressed concern that the Trump administration’s threats to do something about homelessness in California may involve heavier use of law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Homelessness Czar\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The task force also called for a single point-person on homelessness, a Newsom campaign promise that devolved in his first year into confusion over who, at any given point, was his “homelessness czar.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Various administration members, including Steinberg and Ridley-Thomas, Secretary of Health and Human Services Mark Ghaly and adviser Jason Elliott, have filled the role — so many that last week, Newsom headed off press questions by declaring tartly, “You want to know who’s the homeless czar? I’m the homeless czar in the state of California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the issue of who is actually overseeing the state’s disparate homelessness initiatives — across multiple bureaucracies from prisons to health care — is still pressing, at least according to the homelessness task force. One of their key recommendations would “create a single point of authority of homelessness in state government,” suggesting a high-level official that reports directly to Newsom. Another calls for a comprehensive accounting of existing funding for homelessness, housing, mental health and substance abuse treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still other recommendations have already been incorporated into Newsom’s proposed homelessness budget, including a “flexible fund” that service providers can tap for uses from emergency rental assistance to building shelters. The task force also proposed revamping the state’s health insurance program to draw down more federal dollars for homelessness-related services, a key pillar of the strategy Newsom unveiled last week. Doing so would require a waiver from the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, a member of the task force, said that Medi-Cal reform proposal is key to the their blueprint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Housing is health,” she said. “And to recognize that health dollars should appropriately be used to support housing is a very important part of our recommendations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More controversial proposals included an executive order expanding the state’s new rent-gouging law to cover more households and legislation exempting from environmental review any new housing project for people at risk of homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has strict laws that make it difficult to detain mentally ill people against their will for a prolonged period of time. Families of homeless loved ones struggling with schizophrenia or other disorders often blame the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2018/08/california-homeless-mental-illness-conservatorship-law/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lanterman-Petris-Short Act\u003c/a>, a late 1960s law intended to curb the overuse of asylums, for precluding necessary care. New York’s commitment laws are less stringent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Newsom talked vaguely of reforming the law last week, such reforms are conspicuously absent from the task force’s report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

But it adds momentum to the strategy of elevating litigation as a tool to accomplish what compassion and money haven’t been able to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, visiting a homelessness program in Nevada County, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CAgovernor/videos/2568716870024650/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said Monday\u003c/a> he “would lean in the direction” of speedily deploying a legal “obligation” to supply sufficient services and housing, adding that “a number of cities and counties” have volunteered to do demonstration projects over the next several months, “not the next few years.” (Ridley-Thomas later said he would propose such a pilot in L.A. County this week.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I broadly have been encouraging this debate about obligations,” the governor said, adding that “there’s a distinction between rights and obligations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without elaborating on that distinction, he seconded the task force’s point that many of the state’s responsibilities stem from legal mandates: “We do it in almost every other respect,” Newsom said. “On this issue we don’t, and I think that’s missing. The question is how do you do it ... . This is not black and white. This is tough stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Municipalities made it clear they would need more clarification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A legally enforceable mandate can only work with clarity of who’s obligated to do what and what new sustainable resources will fund it; that’s the ticket for clear expectations and accountability,” said Graham Knaus, executive director of the California State Association of Counties, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg, meanwhile, called Monday’s proposal an improvement on the original “right to shelter” concept, saying a mandate by any name would still have the force of law. The point, the mayor said, is to give the courts a legal “last resort” to address pleas to supersede political gridlock, just as federal laws have in the past armed judges to combat other social crises. “It’s analogous to desegregation,” Steinberg said.\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/klnd87KdQSE'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/klnd87KdQSE'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The task force’s proposal would let a “designated public official” sue the government for not doing enough to offer emergency and permanent housing to the homeless. A judge could then intervene to force a city to approve an emergency shelter, for example, or redirect budget funds to homelessness services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal, however, so far lacks specifics on how taxpayers would pay for such a mandate. The letter released by the task force, which includes local elected officials from large and small cities, states that “more state resources will undoubtedly be required” but includes no estimate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State and local governments in recent years have poured billions into combating homelessness, only to watch the problem worsen as ever-rising rents drive Californians to the streets faster than they can be re-housed. On Friday, for the second straight year, Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2020/01/gavin-newsom-budget-california-trump-housing-homelessness-schools-wildfire-surplus/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">proposed more than $1 billion in new state funds\u003c/a> to fight homelessness, calling it “the issue that defines our times” in California. But the state’s “point-in-time” homeless count jumped 17% between 2018 and last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, a task force member, said leverage is needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do the things we are required to do first ... then for everything else we try very hard,” Fletcher said. “Absent a legally enforceable obligation, I believe people will continue to try very hard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a legal mandate would arm jurisdictions to tackle “the underlying problem which is poverty,” rather than appease communities with shelter beds, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Putting the Onus on Government \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Steinberg and Ridley-Thomas \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-08-07/newsom-sidesteps-right-to-shelter-plan-but-says-homeless-on-streets-cannot-persist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">floated the idea\u003c/a> of a statewide “right to shelter” law last year. Spurred by decades-old litigation, \u003ca href=\"https://www.marketplace.org/2015/09/30/behind-new-yorks-right-shelter-policy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York state\u003c/a> has a “right to shelter” policy that makes its state and local governments legally liable for having emergency shelter beds available for every unhoused person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many credit “right to shelter” for New York’s success in reducing the number of people sleeping on the streets, Newsom and advocates for the homeless have balked at the idea. Some advocates fear it would divert finite funding from \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/californias-homelessness-crisis-explained/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">permanent supportive housing\u003c/a>, which experts say is a more long-term, albeit expensive solution; others worry about cost and potential civil liberties violations that might arise from requiring a homeless person to accept shelter if it’s available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I’m the homeless czar in the state of California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the issue of who is actually overseeing the state’s disparate homelessness initiatives — across multiple bureaucracies from prisons to health care — is still pressing, at least according to the homelessness task force. One of their key recommendations would “create a single point of authority of homelessness in state government,” suggesting a high-level official that reports directly to Newsom. Another calls for a comprehensive accounting of existing funding for homelessness, housing, mental health and substance abuse treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still other recommendations have already been incorporated into Newsom’s proposed homelessness budget, including a “flexible fund” that service providers can tap for uses from emergency rental assistance to building shelters. The task force also proposed revamping the state’s health insurance program to draw down more federal dollars for homelessness-related services, a key pillar of the strategy Newsom unveiled last week. Doing so would require a waiver from the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, a member of the task force, said that Medi-Cal reform proposal is key to the their blueprint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Housing is health,” she said. “And to recognize that health dollars should appropriately be used to support housing is a very important part of our recommendations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More controversial proposals included an executive order expanding the state’s new rent-gouging law to cover more households and legislation exempting from environmental review any new housing project for people at risk of homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has strict laws that make it difficult to detain mentally ill people against their will for a prolonged period of time. Families of homeless loved ones struggling with schizophrenia or other disorders often blame the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2018/08/california-homeless-mental-illness-conservatorship-law/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lanterman-Petris-Short Act\u003c/a>, a late 1960s law intended to curb the overuse of asylums, for precluding necessary care. New York’s commitment laws are less stringent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Newsom talked vaguely of reforming the law last week, such reforms are conspicuously absent from the task force’s report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And according to a \u003ca href=\"https://files.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/2019-AHAR-Part-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new report \u003c/a>by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, California’s homeless population accounts for 53% of all unsheltered people in the country. Overall, the state has more than 150,000 people experiencing homelessness, according to the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the growing crisis, Gov.

I’m doing the best I can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibson, who has lived here for nearly a year, says the camp has a haphazard sense of community. People watch out for each other. But he concedes the camp has serious problems with garbage, vermin, inadequate toilets and some drug use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County and city agencies have tried to offer some services, including adding portable toilets and trash control. But camp residents say it’s not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you don’t have someone taking out the trash, it’s gonna pile up,” Gibson says. “Some people are elderly and can’t really do a lot on their own.

Time to “cowboy up,” Gibson says, as he moves to help unload used warm clothes from a local resident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I drive by every morning and today I was just heartbroken,” says commuter Vania Supulveda. “My daughter complains, ‘Oh, it’s so cold out today’ when we see this. And we go back home to a nice warm home. It’s depressing.

If approved, Hopkins told KQED’s Forum that the homes could be operational as early as next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/active-funding/nplh.shtml\">“No Place Like Home” program \u003c/a>would fund the purchase of the three homes. Hopkins hopes an additional two homes will be purchased eventually, totaling a cost of $6 million that includes furnishings and supportive services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is actually a model that … already is actually working in a lot of areas in Sonoma County,” Hopkins told Forum. “They have been very, very successful at getting people off the street and into housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some residents in similar models have even transitioned into renting their own apartments, Hopkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s always the goal, right? Is to get people back fully on their feet and able to be supporting themselves in a type of housing that is acceptable. What’s happening right now on the Joe Rodota Trail, we know is completely unacceptable,” Hopkins told Forum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Hopkins is exploring an outdoor shelter option that would still allow people to camp, but would provide a navigation trailer with supportive services. It would equip people with “fundamental human needs,” such as restrooms, electricity, water and, ideally, shower and laundry facilities, Hopkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you talk about the encampment along the Joe Rodota Trail, it is actually very difficult to service because it’s actually spread out over about a mile and a half of linear trail,” Hopkins said. “So it’s tough for service workers to actually go out there … and actually provide people with a plan to get them off the trail and into housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Public Backlash in Sonoma County\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“It just showcases the failure of government at all levels to meaningfully have a safety net for human beings,” Hopkins said. “There’s just no room for error now, there’s no safety net.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, Sonoma County’s chief homelessness official, Geoffrey Ross, announced his resignation.

California has the \u003ca href=\"https://nlchp.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Tent_City_USA_2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">highest number of tent cities\u003c/a>, according to a report by the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty. And according to a \u003ca href=\"https://files.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/2019-AHAR-Part-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new report \u003c/a>by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, California’s homeless population accounts for 53% of all unsheltered people in the country. Overall, the state has more than 150,000 people experiencing homelessness, according to the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the growing crisis, Gov. Gavin Newsom recently proposed more than $1.4 billion in his \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11795344/newsom-zeroes-in-on-education-gaps-homelessness-and-wildfires-in-state-budget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new budget \u003c/a>for expanded state and local efforts on immediate housing and services.

The first-term Democrat has also ordered state agencies to do more to help find temporary sites — including decommissioned hospitals or unused land — for the state’s expanding homeless encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the state, residents are demanding robust coordinated action on what has now become a public health crisis. There are rising concerns about health and safety problems inside the encampments, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/CDPH%20Document%20Library/Immunization/2016-18CAOutbreakAssociatedDrugUseHomelessness.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disease\u003c/a>, open drug use, violence, crime and fire risks.

It’s very hard,” he says of life among broken pallets and ripped tarps. “It’s a struggle for anybody to keep warm and keep your heart and head light and strong. I’m doing the best I can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibson, who has lived here for nearly a year, says the camp has a haphazard sense of community. People watch out for each other. But he concedes the camp has serious problems with garbage, vermin, inadequate toilets and some drug use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County and city agencies have tried to offer some services, including adding portable toilets and trash control. But camp residents say it’s not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you don’t have someone taking out the trash, it’s gonna pile up,” Gibson says. “Some people are elderly and can’t really do a lot on their own. Some are young people that are very inexperienced with life. I try to a be a guiding light.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a nearby tent, an older woman pops her head out shouting obscenities at no one in particular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People need to open up their eyes and realize they could end up like this,” Gibson says. “A lot of people are one [pay]check away. Show some humanity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon a pickup truck pulls up with donations. Time to “cowboy up,” Gibson says, as he moves to help unload used warm clothes from a local resident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I drive by every morning and today I was just heartbroken,” says commuter Vania Supulveda. “My daughter complains, ‘Oh, it’s so cold out today’ when we see this. And we go back home to a nice warm home. It’s depressing. I grew up in Brazil, in a Third World country, and I’ve never seen something like this so close to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Exploring Solutions\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Board of Supervisors will vote Tuesday on the purchase of three large homes — two in central Santa Rosa and one in Cotati — that would provide housing for some of the people living on the trail. If approved, Hopkins told KQED’s Forum that the homes could be operational as early as next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/active-funding/nplh.shtml\">“No Place Like Home” program \u003c/a>would fund the purchase of the three homes. Hopkins hopes an additional two homes will be purchased eventually, totaling a cost of $6 million that includes furnishings and supportive services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is actually a model that … already is actually working in a lot of areas in Sonoma County,” Hopkins told Forum. “They have been very, very successful at getting people off the street and into housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some residents in similar models have even transitioned into renting their own apartments, Hopkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s always the goal, right? Is to get people back fully on their feet and able to be supporting themselves in a type of housing that is acceptable. What’s happening right now on the Joe Rodota Trail, we know is completely unacceptable,” Hopkins told Forum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Hopkins is exploring an outdoor shelter option that would still allow people to camp, but would provide a navigation trailer with supportive services. It would equip people with “fundamental human needs,” such as restrooms, electricity, water and, ideally, shower and laundry facilities, Hopkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you talk about the encampment along the Joe Rodota Trail, it is actually very difficult to service because it’s actually spread out over about a mile and a half of linear trail,” Hopkins said. “So it’s tough for service workers to actually go out there … and actually provide people with a plan to get them off the trail and into housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Public Backlash in Sonoma County\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“It just showcases the failure of government at all levels to meaningfully have a safety net for human beings,” Hopkins said. “There’s just no room for error now, there’s no safety net.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, Sonoma County’s chief homelessness official, Geoffrey Ross, announced his resignation. The Board of Supervisors will vote Tuesday to confirm Barbie Robinson, the county health services director, as interim executive director of the Community Development Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson has drawn praise from supervisors, including Hopkins, for stepping into a leadership position and working alongside Ross to craft a plan to allocate \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11792903/sonoma-county-approves-12-million-urgent-plan-for-homeless\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$12 million in emergency funds\u003c/a> for the encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopkins has also helped lead efforts to find solutions for the camp, including working on the emergency funding plan and setting up an emergency \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/society/sonoma-co-opens-eoc-for-first-time-in-response-to-homeless-crisis/5823059/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">operations center\u003c/a> to better coordinate responses to a complex problem with no easy fixes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the first-term politician is facing blowback over the camp. A handful of angry constituents started \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/10539186-181/recall-effort-targets-sonoma-county?sba=AAS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an effort to recall Hopkins\u003c/a>, even though she faces an election in March. Their petition accuses Hopkins of failing to act — “her watch, her failure” — and calls the homeless encampment a “public cesspool” that’s undermining businesses, homes and quality of life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem cuts across complex issues, including rising housing costs and skyrocketing rents, stagnant wages, poverty, addiction and mental health treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Complicating attempts to find a solution in Sonoma is \u003ca href=\"https://sonomacounty.ca.gov/CAO/Agreement-with-Homeless-Advocates-on-Preliminary-Injunction/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a local injunction\u003c/a> that says the county can’t arrest or fine its way out of the crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/13/787861253/how-boises-fight-over-homelessness-is-rippling-across-the-west-coast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A federal court ruling\u003c/a> carries even more weight. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that homeless people essentially have a Constitutional right to camp on public property if local governments can’t provide enough shelter beds and services. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal in that case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Cars round the bend of an off-ramp of state Route 24 in northern Oakland, spraying bands of light across Norm Ciha and his neighbors.

He whines as Ciha walks away with a camping mattress. “I can leave him all day in the tent and he’s fine, but he freaks out every time we have to move,” Ciha says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every other week, the residents of this thin slice of state-owned land just off the freeway pack up their possessions and move to another empty lot nearby; they aren’t quite sure who owns it. They move in anticipation of the routine sweeps of homeless encampments ordered by the California Department of Transportation, which has jurisdiction over the state’s highways and exit ramps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highway crews check that the area is clear of people and their belongings, throwing away any items that remain. Once the trucks leave, the residents move back in. Ciha and his neighbors call it “the Caltrans Shuffle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Eric Tars, legal director of the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty\"]‘If cities spent half the energy on trying to provide access to sanitation as they did on trying to find constitutional ways to take people’s belongings, they could address homelessness.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their makeshift neighborhood of tarps and tents is built on one of thousands of public spaces across California where people have set up camp. The state’s homeless population has ballooned in recent years; in 2019, there were more than 150,000 homeless people in California, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and 72% of them did not have shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A range of health concerns has spread among homeless communities. A few years ago, hepatitis A, spread primarily through feces, infected more than 700 people in California, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/CDPH%20Document%20Library/Immunization/2016-18CAOutbreakAssociatedDrugUseHomelessness.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most of them homeless,\u003c/a> according to state officials. Ancient diseases, such as typhus,\u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/03/typhus-tuberculosis-medieval-diseases-spreading-homeless/584380/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> have resurged\u003c/a>. Homeless people are\u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/the-homeless-are-dying-in-record-numbers-on-the-streets-of-l-a/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> dying in record numbers\u003c/a> on the streets of Los Angeles, according to data from the county coroner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communities up and down California, increasingly frustrated with the growing number of homeless people living on public property, have tasked police and sanitation workers with dismantling encampments that they say pollute public areas and pose serious risk of fire, violence and disease. The rousting and cleanups have become a daily occurrence around the state, involving an array of state and local agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the response from officials has prompted a public health crisis all its own, according to interviews with dozens of homeless people and their advocates. Personal possessions, including medicines and necessary medical devices, are routinely thrown away. It’s a quotidian event that Leilani Farha, the United Nations special rapporteur on adequate housing, described as a “cruelty” that she hasn’t seen in other impoverished corners of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ciha, who is 57, learned the hard way that living on the street means his belongings can be taken in an instant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November 2018, when he was camping by an Ikea in nearby Emeryville, the California Highway Patrol and Caltrans employees showed up unannounced. He was out buying a tent when they arrived, and the crew designated his belongings as garbage. His fellow campers protested and grabbed what they could. Ciha returned and asked for time to gather his things. But everything, he says, was just thrown into a trash compactor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with his bedding and clothes, he lost three weeks of an eight-week supply of the medication he’d been prescribed to treat hepatitis C. He’d gotten the medicine through Medi-Cal. Though the drugs were almost certainly purchased at a discount, Ciha’s course of treatment retails for around $40,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, a federal court case involving a camping ban in Boise, Idaho, determined that cities can’t cite people for sleeping on public property when there’s nowhere else to go. It doesn’t, however, determine rules about their possessions. That question has been argued for decades, with\u003ca href=\"https://nlchp.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Tent_City_USA_2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> multiple courts\u003c/a> determining that destroying or confiscating property without notice is a violation of the constitutional right to personal property. Cities rarely, if ever, fight those decisions, which means there’s been no precedent set by a higher court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11795326\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/ciha5_custom-38b7938a8f652e77b86c1896bd7ea675ccf7ee52-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"The California Department of Transportation is required to post notices of cleanups before clearing out homeless encampments on state property.

He spent nine months in 2014 and 2015 living on the street, for example, and another year studying the police, public health and sanitation workers tasked with cleaning encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herring says he has witnessed people refusing medical help because they didn’t want to leave their things behind, and says he knows others who lost jobs after missing shifts to salvage personal items. An elderly man, so ill he lay paralyzed on the sidewalk, once called Herring and asked him to look after his stuff before he called 911.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles has limited the amount of personal property people can carry with them or store on public property, saying it must fit inside a 60-gallon container — the equivalent of a medium-sized outdoor trash bin.

Caltrans policy requires the postings, but an ongoing \u003ca href=\"http://sanchezlawsuit.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">class-action lawsuit\u003c/a> against Caltrans claims that policy isn’t always followed, and that the sweeps are a violation of people’s constitutional right to private property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ciha has joined the suit. Another defendant says Caltrans took her walker, which she was using because an infected wound made it difficult for her to get around. Others have lost ID cards and prescriptions, a setback for making appointments or receiving benefits, according to one of the lawyers on the case, Osha Neumann.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans workers say they hate doing the cleanups. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like 100 times worse than it was just a few years ago,” says Steve Crouch, director of public employees for Local 39 of the International Union of Operating Engineers, which represents Caltrans workers. “One of the biggest gripes they have is having to clean up the homeless encampments. It’s a nasty job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sweeps also cause psychological pain. Ciha and his neighbors talk about how horrible it is when people driving by throw garbage at them. Herring says the trauma of living on the streets is so intense he hasn’t yet figured out how to write about it in his academic work. “[The city will] say we’re just asking people to move, but if you’re being asked that over and over and you have nowhere to go, and people are acting like you’re worthless or they’re scared of you, that affects you fast,” Herring says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ciha got tested for hep C after a friend went from healthy to sick in a matter of months. When Ciha was prescribed the treatment, the doctor told him he shouldn’t miss a dose.

The state’s homeless population has ballooned in recent years; in 2019, there were more than 150,000 homeless people in California, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and 72% of them did not have shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A range of health concerns has spread among homeless communities. A few years ago, hepatitis A, spread primarily through feces, infected more than 700 people in California, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/CDPH%20Document%20Library/Immunization/2016-18CAOutbreakAssociatedDrugUseHomelessness.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most of them homeless,\u003c/a> according to state officials. Ancient diseases, such as typhus,\u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/03/typhus-tuberculosis-medieval-diseases-spreading-homeless/584380/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> have resurged\u003c/a>. Homeless people are\u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/the-homeless-are-dying-in-record-numbers-on-the-streets-of-l-a/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> dying in record numbers\u003c/a> on the streets of Los Angeles, according to data from the county coroner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communities up and down California, increasingly frustrated with the growing number of homeless people living on public property, have tasked police and sanitation workers with dismantling encampments that they say pollute public areas and pose serious risk of fire, violence and disease. The rousting and cleanups have become a daily occurrence around the state, involving an array of state and local agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the response from officials has prompted a public health crisis all its own, according to interviews with dozens of homeless people and their advocates. Personal possessions, including medicines and necessary medical devices, are routinely thrown away. It’s a quotidian event that Leilani Farha, the United Nations special rapporteur on adequate housing, described as a “cruelty” that she hasn’t seen in other impoverished corners of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ciha, who is 57, learned the hard way that living on the street means his belongings can be taken in an instant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November 2018, when he was camping by an Ikea in nearby Emeryville, the California Highway Patrol and Caltrans employees showed up unannounced. He was out buying a tent when they arrived, and the crew designated his belongings as garbage. His fellow campers protested and grabbed what they could. Ciha returned and asked for time to gather his things. But everything, he says, was just thrown into a trash compactor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with his bedding and clothes, he lost three weeks of an eight-week supply of the medication he’d been prescribed to treat hepatitis C. He’d gotten the medicine through Medi-Cal. Though the drugs were almost certainly purchased at a discount, Ciha’s course of treatment retails for around $40,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, a federal court case involving a camping ban in Boise, Idaho, determined that cities can’t cite people for sleeping on public property when there’s nowhere else to go. It doesn’t, however, determine rules about their possessions. That question has been argued for decades, with\u003ca href=\"https://nlchp.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Tent_City_USA_2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> multiple courts\u003c/a> determining that destroying or confiscating property without notice is a violation of the constitutional right to personal property. Cities rarely, if ever, fight those decisions, which means there’s been no precedent set by a higher court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11795326\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/ciha5_custom-38b7938a8f652e77b86c1896bd7ea675ccf7ee52-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"The California Department of Transportation is required to post notices of cleanups before clearing out homeless encampments on state property.

The city, citing employee privacy laws, declined to comment on Byrd’s departure.

Last year, there were 4,071 people experiencing homelessness in Oakland, according to the federal government’s \u003ca href=\"http://everyonehome.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/2019HIRDReport_Oakland_2019-Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">biennial point-in-time count\u003c/a>, a 47% increase since 2017. Meanwhile, the average rent for an apartment in Oakland was $2,905, up 7% from the prior year, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/ca/oakland/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RentCafe\u003c/a>, a real estate website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11795455\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/shola_olatoye-300x381.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11795455\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/shola_olatoye-300x381.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/shola_olatoye-300x381.jpg 300w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/shola_olatoye-300x381-160x203.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shola Olatoye\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In New York, Olatoye led a \u003ca href=\"https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/nycha/downloads/pdf/nextgen-nycha-web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">10-year plan\u003c/a> to stabilize the city's beleaguered housing authority, the largest in the nation, which was facing billions in unmet capital needs.

She later worked at a national affordable housing organization after the 2008 mortgage crisis. After leaving the authority, Olatoye joined Suffolk Construction, a national construction management firm, as its vice president of business development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That varied experience is going to be essential if she hopes to combat homelessness and high housing costs in Oakland, Metcalf said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has the ability to bring together different kinds of people and transition across different levels of government,” he said Metcalf. “What she can do is see the big picture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing advocates say she has no time to waste.
