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

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.",

Dubbed “Mental Health SF,” the program, if approved by voters, would provide free and immediate access to mental health care to San Francisco residents, regardless of insurance. It would also require the creation of a new round-the-clock drop-in center for people seeking help with mental health or substance abuse issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yolanda Morrissette, a recovering drug addict who was able to overcome her struggles thanks to city services and programs, said that she hopes to serve as an example of someone who can turn her life around despite suffering from mental health and addiction issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were able to help me get on medication.

"content": "\u003cp>Along a big, commercial street in Los Angeles' North Hollywood area, near a row of empty storefronts, about half a dozen motor homes sat parked on a recent morning. Inside one of them, 67-year-old Edith Grays and her husband watched TV with the door open. Grays said they'd been there a few days, despite a two-hour parking limit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Thank God they're not bothering us right now,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not unusual to see clusters of campers around the city. Grays is one of the nearly 10,000 people who live in vehicles inside L.A.'s city limits. Some take shelter in cars, others in vans or trucks, but RVs are the most visible. They're also the most difficult to park — especially now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles City Council recently reinstated an ordinance that bans sleeping overnight in vehicles in residential areas. The law also forbids living in a vehicle within a block of a park, school or day care. Tickets for violating the rules start at $25 for a first offense, $50 the second time and $75 after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Neighborhoods divided\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents who support the restrictions say vehicle encampments have caused parking shortages and sanitation issues. Critics say that without alternatives to parking on the street, the rules are inhumane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a stupid law,\" Mel Tillekeratne, executive director of a homelessness nonprofit called The Shower of Hope, said during a recent public meeting. \"This law ... is going to directly contribute to these people being on the street.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Edith Grays, who ran a window-washing business with her husband until he had a series of strokes and couldn't work, losing their motor home is a big fear. She said they moved into it after not being able to afford rent anymore, and she takes care to avoid being ticketed or towed.

Inside one of them, 67-year-old Edith Grays and her husband watched TV with the door open. Grays said they'd been there a few days, despite a two-hour parking limit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Thank God they're not bothering us right now,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not unusual to see clusters of campers around the city. Grays is one of the nearly 10,000 people who live in vehicles inside L.A.'s city limits. Some take shelter in cars, others in vans or trucks, but RVs are the most visible. They're also the most difficult to park — especially now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles City Council recently reinstated an ordinance that bans sleeping overnight in vehicles in residential areas. The law also forbids living in a vehicle within a block of a park, school or day care. Tickets for violating the rules start at $25 for a first offense, $50 the second time and $75 after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Neighborhoods divided\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents who support the restrictions say vehicle encampments have caused parking shortages and sanitation issues. Critics say that without alternatives to parking on the street, the rules are inhumane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a stupid law,\" Mel Tillekeratne, executive director of a homelessness nonprofit called The Shower of Hope, said during a recent public meeting. \"This law ... is going to directly contribute to these people being on the street.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Edith Grays, who ran a window-washing business with her husband until he had a series of strokes and couldn't work, losing their motor home is a big fear. She said they moved into it after not being able to afford rent anymore, and she takes care to avoid being ticketed or towed. When asked how much of her time is spent looking for parking or planning where to park next, Grays replied: \"All of it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This time, the stakes were higher and the attacks fiercer between progressives and moderates. On Tuesday, Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders came under fire by former congressman John Delaney for their support of a Medicare for All plan that would replace privately held insurance with a government-sponsored health plan. The next night, Democratic primary front-runner Joe Biden found himself defending his decades-long record on criminal justice, immigration, health care and women’s rights from progressives like Sens. Cory Booker and Kamala Harris. But unlike his first debate appearance in June, Biden appeared steadier and was ready to hit back when he took aim at Booker’s record on crime when he was mayor of Newark, New Jersey, and at Harris for her proposal to expand health care coverage. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Tyrone Beason, staff reporter, L.A.

From videos to print and audio stories, the SF Homeless Project shares the personal stories and struggles of the men, women and families who lack stable housing in San Francisco. It also seeks to answer questions about this crisis unfolding on San Francisco streets and why it’s getting worse, even though the city spends $300 million a year to help a population of roughly 8,000 homeless people through navigation centers, outreach visits and other city services. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kevin Fagan, reporter, San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>The Hidden Costs of Child Care\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A new report by the Economic Policy Institute and UC Berkeley’s Center for the Study of Child Care Employment reveals that not only is the cost of high-quality child care out of reach for many California families, but also that the people providing the care are perhaps paying the steepest price for it. The study found that early educators are paid a median salary of just $13 per hour and are six times more likely than K-12 teachers to live in poverty. In turn, the low pay and poor working conditions also affect the quality of care children receive.

Consistently ranked among the most pressing concerns for San Francisco’s residents, homelessness has proved to be a political lightning rod in a city known for its progressive views, innovative spirit and enormous income gaps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have, of course, been some successes along the way, though progress has often been hard to notice. Over the last 15 years, the city estimates that it has housed more than \u003ca href=\"https://projects.sfchronicle.com/sf-homeless/2018-state-of-homelessness/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">26,000 homeless people\u003c/a>. But that’s come at tremendous cost: The city spent more than $300 million on homeless prevention services in 2018, and yet the day-to-day population didn’t dip. It actually grew, to more than 8,000, \u003ca href=\"http://hsh.sfgov.org/research-reports/san-francisco-homeless-point-in-time-count-reports/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to city’s latest point-in-time count\u003c/a> (and that didn’t include the nearly 1,800 additional homeless people who were counted in jails, hospitals and rehabilitation facilities).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following timeline describes the various ways each of the city’s last seven mayors has tried to tackle this intractable issue.

In the early 1980s, though, homelessness became a full-blown crisis throughout the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crisis was a decade in the making — the result of a combination of massive state and federal cuts to mental health services and public housing, a wave of Vietnam veterans in need of help, skyrocketing home prices and a spike in unemployment caused by the national recession. San Francisco was hit particularly hard, especially in the Tenderloin and other downtown neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>1982-1988: Feinstein’s Muni Bus Shelters\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765203\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765203\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2-800x561.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2-800x561.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2-160x112.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2-1020x715.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Dianne Feinstein and members of her administration walk through a shantytown slated to be dismantled, near Seventh and Berry streets, on Jan. 28, 1986. \u003ccite>(Steve Ringman/SF Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mayor Dianne Feinstein approached the homeless issue as a passing phenomenon.

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 loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" 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://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1-800x623.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1-160x125.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (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. During the first six months of the program, police issued 6,000 citations for quality-of-life misdemeanors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics said the approach criminalized the poor and merely managed homelessness rather than doing anything to prevent it. But many residents and businesses, weary of deteriorating street conditions, supported the plan. In 1994, voters approved Jordan’s measures to ban loitering near ATMs and to replace part of city welfare checks with housing vouchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without enough services in place to handle the uptick in numbers, though, little progress was made in preventing the homeless from returning to the streets. Similar to the fate of his predecessor, Jordan’s poorly performing homeless policies — used as ammunition by his challenger, Willie Brown — contributed to his failed re-election bid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>1996-2004: Brown’s Grand Vision\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765135\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765135\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3-800x530.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Willie Brown wields a broom as part of his litter-removal program, while neighborhood youth look on.

But during the subsequent period of economic expansion and gentrification, fueled by the late 1990s dot-com boom, those plans fell short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown did lead a successful increase in the city’s affordable housing stock, creating thousands of new units and beds by leasing and renovating cheap residential hotels and heavily subsidizing the rent. But he also took a number of controversial pro-development actions, such as increasing quality-of-life citations and closing the Mission Rock homeless shelter to build a parking lot adjacent to Oracle Park (then called SBC Park).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his second term, Brown took little leadership on the issue, famously declaring homelessness a problem “that may not be solvable.” In 2002, the San Francisco’s homeless population spiked at more than 8,600, as the city became gripped by a housing shortage and skyrocketing costs amid the economic boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>2004-2010: Newsom’s Supportive Housing\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765134\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765134\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1-800x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1-800x520.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1-160x104.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Gavin Newsom at the McAllister Hotel on April 30, 2004, where rooms were being made available to the homeless. \u003ccite>(Brant Ward/SF Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As a city supervisor, Gavin Newsom championed the controversial “Care Not Cash” measure, slashing cash payments to the homeless and redirecting funds toward housing. In his first year as mayor, he introduced an ambitious 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness by creating 3,000 housing units with supportive services and replacing emergency shelter beds with 24-hour clinics. Although the plan fell short of its goal, it did move thousands of homeless people off the streets over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the program’s first year, homelessness in the city dropped by nearly 30% from its 2002 high. But then the numbers froze — at over 6,000 people — through the remainder of his tenure. As mayor, Newsom also sponsored a measure approved by voters in 2010 that restricted sitting or lying on sidewalks. Homelessness, he later claimed, is the “manifestation of complete, abject failure as a society. We’ll never solve this at City Hall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>2011-2017: Lee’s Department of Homelessness\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765133\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11765133 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee-800x573.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"573\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee-800x573.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee-160x115.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Ed Lee stops to talk with residents of the Raman Hotel on Howard Street, a supportive housing facility. \u003ccite>(Brant Ward/SF Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mayor Ed Lee, who was appointed after Newsom became lieutenant governor, initially devoted significantly less attention than his predecessor to homelessness. In an effort to woo major tech companies, Lee cleared areas in the Mid-Market district and nearby neighborhoods, and ordered large homeless camps dismantled. Criticized for avoiding the issue, Lee opened the city’s first navigation center in 2015, a 24-hour multiservice homeless shelter providing housing assistance and drug abuse rehabilitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month into his second full term, Lee announced a new citywide homeless department, an effort to group all services under one roof and spend at least $1 billion over the following four years to help thousands of people find supportive housing. The department launched in July 2016. A year later, it reported a double-digit decrease in family and youth homelessness, but a slight rise in the number of single homeless adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee then launched a “coordinated entry” initiative to consolidate the dozens of city-funded homeless service groups under one system and have a shared database.

Consistently ranked among the most pressing concerns for San Francisco’s residents, homelessness has proved to be a political lightning rod in a city known for its progressive views, innovative spirit and enormous income gaps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have, of course, been some successes along the way, though progress has often been hard to notice. Over the last 15 years, the city estimates that it has housed more than \u003ca href=\"https://projects.sfchronicle.com/sf-homeless/2018-state-of-homelessness/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">26,000 homeless people\u003c/a>. But that’s come at tremendous cost: The city spent more than $300 million on homeless prevention services in 2018, and yet the day-to-day population didn’t dip. It actually grew, to more than 8,000, \u003ca href=\"http://hsh.sfgov.org/research-reports/san-francisco-homeless-point-in-time-count-reports/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to city’s latest point-in-time count\u003c/a> (and that didn’t include the nearly 1,800 additional homeless people who were counted in jails, hospitals and rehabilitation facilities).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following timeline describes the various ways each of the city’s last seven mayors has tried to tackle this intractable issue.

In the early 1980s, though, homelessness became a full-blown crisis throughout the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crisis was a decade in the making — the result of a combination of massive state and federal cuts to mental health services and public housing, a wave of Vietnam veterans in need of help, skyrocketing home prices and a spike in unemployment caused by the national recession. San Francisco was hit particularly hard, especially in the Tenderloin and other downtown neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>1982-1988: Feinstein’s Muni Bus Shelters\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765203\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765203\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2-800x561.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2-800x561.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2-160x112.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2-1020x715.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/fidi-2.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Dianne Feinstein and members of her administration walk through a shantytown slated to be dismantled, near Seventh and Berry streets, on Jan. 28, 1986. \u003ccite>(Steve Ringman/SF Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mayor Dianne Feinstein approached the homeless issue as a passing phenomenon. Rather than creating permanent housing and long-term services, her administration relied primarily on church-based emergency shelters, soup kitchens and city-funded overnight stays in cheap, private hotels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strategy proved costly and ultimately unsuccessful.

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 loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" 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://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1-800x623.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1-160x125.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/jordan1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (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. During the first six months of the program, police issued 6,000 citations for quality-of-life misdemeanors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics said the approach criminalized the poor and merely managed homelessness rather than doing anything to prevent it. But many residents and businesses, weary of deteriorating street conditions, supported the plan. In 1994, voters approved Jordan’s measures to ban loitering near ATMs and to replace part of city welfare checks with housing vouchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without enough services in place to handle the uptick in numbers, though, little progress was made in preventing the homeless from returning to the streets. Similar to the fate of his predecessor, Jordan’s poorly performing homeless policies — used as ammunition by his challenger, Willie Brown — contributed to his failed re-election bid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>1996-2004: Brown’s Grand Vision\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765135\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765135\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3-800x530.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/brown3.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Willie Brown wields a broom as part of his litter-removal program, while neighborhood youth look on. Brown says his “only option was to manage” homelessness. \u003ccite>(Lea Suzuki/SF Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mayor Willie Brown pledged to bring in outside government funding to expand social services and develop a regional plan with other Bay Area cities. But during the subsequent period of economic expansion and gentrification, fueled by the late 1990s dot-com boom, those plans fell short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown did lead a successful increase in the city’s affordable housing stock, creating thousands of new units and beds by leasing and renovating cheap residential hotels and heavily subsidizing the rent. But he also took a number of controversial pro-development actions, such as increasing quality-of-life citations and closing the Mission Rock homeless shelter to build a parking lot adjacent to Oracle Park (then called SBC Park).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his second term, Brown took little leadership on the issue, famously declaring homelessness a problem “that may not be solvable.” In 2002, the San Francisco’s homeless population spiked at more than 8,600, as the city became gripped by a housing shortage and skyrocketing costs amid the economic boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>2004-2010: Newsom’s Supportive Housing\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765134\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765134\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1-800x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1-800x520.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1-160x104.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/newsom1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Gavin Newsom at the McAllister Hotel on April 30, 2004, where rooms were being made available to the homeless. \u003ccite>(Brant Ward/SF Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As a city supervisor, Gavin Newsom championed the controversial “Care Not Cash” measure, slashing cash payments to the homeless and redirecting funds toward housing. In his first year as mayor, he introduced an ambitious 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness by creating 3,000 housing units with supportive services and replacing emergency shelter beds with 24-hour clinics. Although the plan fell short of its goal, it did move thousands of homeless people off the streets over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the program’s first year, homelessness in the city dropped by nearly 30% from its 2002 high. But then the numbers froze — at over 6,000 people — through the remainder of his tenure. As mayor, Newsom also sponsored a measure approved by voters in 2010 that restricted sitting or lying on sidewalks. Homelessness, he later claimed, is the “manifestation of complete, abject failure as a society. We’ll never solve this at City Hall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>2011-2017: Lee’s Department of Homelessness\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765133\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11765133 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee-800x573.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"573\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee-800x573.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee-160x115.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/lee.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayor Ed Lee stops to talk with residents of the Raman Hotel on Howard Street, a supportive housing facility. \u003ccite>(Brant Ward/SF Chronicle)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mayor Ed Lee, who was appointed after Newsom became lieutenant governor, initially devoted significantly less attention than his predecessor to homelessness. In an effort to woo major tech companies, Lee cleared areas in the Mid-Market district and nearby neighborhoods, and ordered large homeless camps dismantled. Criticized for avoiding the issue, Lee opened the city’s first navigation center in 2015, a 24-hour multiservice homeless shelter providing housing assistance and drug abuse rehabilitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month into his second full term, Lee announced a new citywide homeless department, an effort to group all services under one roof and spend at least $1 billion over the following four years to help thousands of people find supportive housing. The department launched in July 2016. A year later, it reported a double-digit decrease in family and youth homelessness, but a slight rise in the number of single homeless adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee then launched a “coordinated entry” initiative to consolidate the dozens of city-funded homeless service groups under one system and have a shared database.

It’s a concept that’s met with success, albeit on a small scale, around the state already — like in East Palo Alto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='homelessness' label='More on Homelessness']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent Saturday night, a local Christian group called the Sovereign Band provided live entertainment for about 50 special dinner guests, all of them clients of the nonprofit organization \u003ca href=\"https://projectwehope.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Project We Hope\u003c/a>. We Hope runs several programs for East Palo Alto, including, as of May 1, its safe parking pilot program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Currently, we have 16 RVs, most of them families. Families first, seniors next, disabled, veterans and then everybody else,” said We Hope’s Associate Director Alicia Garcia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thanks to soaring rents, the RV population on local streets has grown to an estimated 50 vehicles. So why is Project We Hope only hosting 16 of them?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one thing, safe parking is not cheap. East Palo Alto is a modest city, especially compared to its phenomenally wealthy neighbors, like Palo Alto and Menlo Park. But East Palo Alto is picking up the $300,00 annual tab for this pilot program and providing the property it sits on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia argues A) there will never be a 100% adoption rate on the part of RV dwellers for any safe parking program, and B) transition to permanent housing is built into the safe parking concept, so new spots should open up on a regular basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11764751\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11764751\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38289_Photo-Jun-15-6-18-42-PM-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Project We Hope runs a number of official services for the homeless residents of East Palo Alto, including a homeless shelter, a mobile shower and laundry service, and safe parking.

And we’ve gotten several other families on housing lists, because that’s part of the secret, the secret sauce, right? Is to get people on as many housing lists as possible,” said Garcia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People commonly ask whether the RV dwellers are local and, if so, whether they’re willing to relocate to cheaper parts of the world. Garcia explains that those who sign up for safe parking agree to aim for housing outside of their vehicles, but typically their jobs are nearby and their children, if they have them, attend local schools. Senior citizens may not be constrained in the same way, but they often feel compelled to stay close to their social support networks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randolph Allen Parker, 74, was one of the first to sign up for the We Hope safe parking program. He takes great pride in his ’89 Ford Econoline. “Custom classic! That thing has a sit-down toilet in it, a shower that you get in, two closets for clothes and a microwave oven, built in from the factory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pride aside, Parker said life on the streets is dangerous for him and his camper van.

We Hope runs several programs for East Palo Alto, including, as of May 1, its safe parking pilot program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Currently, we have 16 RVs, most of them families. Families first, seniors next, disabled, veterans and then everybody else,” said We Hope’s Associate Director Alicia Garcia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thanks to soaring rents, the RV population on local streets has grown to an estimated 50 vehicles. So why is Project We Hope only hosting 16 of them?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one thing, safe parking is not cheap. East Palo Alto is a modest city, especially compared to its phenomenally wealthy neighbors, like Palo Alto and Menlo Park. But East Palo Alto is picking up the $300,00 annual tab for this pilot program and providing the property it sits on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia argues A) there will never be a 100% adoption rate on the part of RV dwellers for any safe parking program, and B) transition to permanent housing is built into the safe parking concept, so new spots should open up on a regular basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11764751\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11764751\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38289_Photo-Jun-15-6-18-42-PM-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Project We Hope runs a number of official services for the homeless residents of East Palo Alto, including a homeless shelter, a mobile shower and laundry service, and safe parking.

And we’ve gotten several other families on housing lists, because that’s part of the secret, the secret sauce, right? Is to get people on as many housing lists as possible,” said Garcia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People commonly ask whether the RV dwellers are local and, if so, whether they’re willing to relocate to cheaper parts of the world. Garcia explains that those who sign up for safe parking agree to aim for housing outside of their vehicles, but typically their jobs are nearby and their children, if they have them, attend local schools. Senior citizens may not be constrained in the same way, but they often feel compelled to stay close to their social support networks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
