But if they weren’t doing what they’re doing, we would not have 8,000 people [living homeless in San Francisco] — we’d have 30,000. It would be mind-blowing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fagan also cautions that sometimes appearances can be deceiving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At least some of those people you think are homeless are not,” Fagan says. “They’re just dirt-poor, living inside.

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

And the city models best practices,” says Fagan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 9,500 people are living in supportive housing units in San Francisco. Among them are six Navigation Centers, which offer intensive housing and counseling services to residents. Case managers work to connect Navigation Center residents to income, public benefits, health services and housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city also has an outreach team that helps get people into stable housing or a medical care facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Outreach counselors are some of the most dedicated, sincere people you’d want to meet,” says Fagan. “They don’t have enough resources to put people into. But if they weren’t doing what they’re doing, we would not have 8,000 people [living homeless in San Francisco] — we’d have 30,000. It would be mind-blowing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fagan also cautions that sometimes appearances can be deceiving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At least some of those people you think are homeless are not,” Fagan says. “They’re just dirt-poor, living inside. And that’s better than sleeping outside.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11764776\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2048px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11764776 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/20170106_091407.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/20170106_091407.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/20170106_091407-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/20170106_091407-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/20170106_091407-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/20170106_091407-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/20170106_091407-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/20170106_091407-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/20170106_091407-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/20170106_091407-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/20170106_091407-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/20170106_091407-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Under the Interstate 80 overpass over Gilman Street in Berkeley. \u003ccite>(Monica Lam/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Is there anything on the horizon that will make a difference in helping homeless people?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>City officials are ramping up\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/San-Francisco-rolls-out-long-awaited-system-to-13197944.php\"> a tracking system\u003c/a> they hope will help them serve people and save money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ll say, ‘This is what kind of shelter you’ve tried.

That’s compared to 13 percent in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To address this rise in vehicle living, the city is testing a program to provide safe overnight parking, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ktvu.com/homeless/san-francisco-supervisor-unveils-plans-for-triage-center-for-people-living-in-vehicles\">plans to open a Vehicle Triage Center\u003c/a> across from the Balboa Park BART Station.

Residents can park there for up to six months. Last March the Berkeley City Council voted to ban overnight RV parking, but has since \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Berkeley-considering-sites-for-safe-RV-parking-14123317.php?psid=cIUVH\">delayed the ban\u003c/a> until a safe overnight parking area is built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While for many homeless people, full-time RV living is a step toward permanent housing, it’s also a solution some low-wage workers are using to stay in the Bay Area.

Take Mountain View, for example. In May, 212 Mountain View residents were living in an RV or vehicle. By November 2019 the city plans to open \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/06/12/despite-aclu-challenge-mountain-view-will-ban-overnight-rv-dwellers/\"> safe overnight RV parking\u003c/a>, but only with an estimated 60 spots.

Are they allowed in shelters?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>According to Renee Lowry, executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.petsofthehomeless.org/\">Pets of the Homeless\u003c/a>, there are three common ways homeless owners get their pets: They owned the pet before they became homeless, they found a stray pet while living on the street, or the pet was given to them by another homeless person. Pets of the Homeless is a national organization that focuses on feeding and caring for pets of homeless owners.

Many of the publication’s contributors have personal experience with homelessness and pursue stories sourced from the community, such as the rise of fentanyl in the Tenderloin and pest infestations in single-room-occupancy (SRO) hotels. After the stories are written, editor Quiver Watts and assistant-editor TJ Johnston edit them and get them ready to print.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Street Sheet is a way … to demonstrate that people who have lived experience of homelessness are the experts on their own lives, and therefore, as experts on what they most need and what policies [are] going to be most effective,” says Watts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up to 100 copies are given to vendors each day, and each copy can be sold for $2. Vendors keep all of the proceeds, and many use their earnings from Street Sheet to pay for necessities like housing, food and medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With about 230 homeless or low-income vendors, Street Sheet reaches about 16,000 readers each issue. Watts says it provides the vendors a way to ask for money while maintaining their dignity, and provides readers a unique perspective on homelessness and an opportunity to engage face-to-face with vendors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Orange County agreed Tuesday to a settlement over its treatment of homeless people in the county's north and central regions, 18 months after being sued for civil rights violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The class-action suit, filed in late January 2018 by a coalition of homeless advocates, accused the county of violating the rights of hundreds of homeless people who were forcibly removed from encampments along the Santa Ana riverbed. It alleged that the county — along with the cities of Anaheim, Costa Mesa and Orange — was forcing people to move \"without a plan for housing or shelter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second suit, filed in February 2018, alleged that the county's existing housing programs for the homeless didn't adequately accommodate people with disabilities, in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the two sides have worked toward an agreement under the watch of U.S. District Judge David O. Carter. Carter initially prevented the county from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11650308/homeless-at-orange-county-riverbed-camp-prepare-to-move\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clearing the roughly 400-person encampment\u003c/a>, saying he would \"not allow haphazard, hurried enforcement action in an effort to clear the population,\" but later sanctioned the action on the condition that food and motel vouchers be provided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of the long settlement process, many of the hearings grew contentious, with Carter consistently \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11659893/federal-judge-holds-orange-county-cities-feet-to-the-fire-over-homeless-crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pressing the county\u003c/a> and cities on why they had \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11658250/orange-county-bows-to-pressure-abandons-plans-to-house-homeless\">reversed course\u003c/a> on plans to create more shelters and fund diversion programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"orange-county\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’ve got five of the wealthiest 20 cities in America,” said Carter during a particularly heated hearing in April 2018. “This is not about money. We are better than this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another homeless civil rights lawsuit, filed in February against the cities of Aliso Viejo, Dana Point, Irvine, San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano, is still pending in federal court under the supervision of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ocregister.com/2019/06/21/with-judge-carter-out-how-will-homeless-lawsuits-work-in-orange-county/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">different federal judge\u003c/a>, who replaced Carter after defendants pushed to have him recused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county and cities have since made progress on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11656882/in-reversal-orange-county-supervisors-vote-for-more-homeless-shelters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">construction of new shelters\u003c/a> in \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/news/tn-dpt-cm-shelter-opening-20190405-story.html\">Costa Mesa\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://voiceofoc.org/2019/03/north-county-cities-move-ahead-on-homeless-shelters/\">Buena Park\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://voiceofoc.org/2018/11/santa-ana-opens-new-interim-200-bed-homeless-shelter/\">Santa Ana\u003c/a>, among other locales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new settlement establishes rules across local government agencies for addressing homelessness. It comes just a few months after \u003ca href=\"https://www.unitedtoendhomelessness.org/2019-point-in-time-count\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the preliminary results of the latest county point-in-time homeless count\u003c/a> found that the number of homeless people had ballooned to nearly 7,000 — more than a 40% increase since 2017 — with over half living in unsheltered conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This settlement is really about what the big picture is going to look like,\" said Brooke Weitzman, an attorney with the Elder Law and Disability Rights Center, who helped file the original suit. \"What are the consistent policies going to look like? How is the county going to implement best practices? What is the sheriff going to do in terms of enforcement?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement sanctions the Orange County Sheriff's Department to create \"policies and procedures\" for enforcing anti-camping and anti-loitering ordinances. But it emphasizes that law enforcement officials must comply with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals 2018 \u003ca href=\"https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2018/09/04/15-35845.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Martin v. Boise\u003c/a> ruling, which determined that homeless people can't be cited for camping unless they've been offered somewhere else to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff's deputies will be required to work with specially trained service workers to schedule screenings with individual homeless people in order to determine proper local placement. The settlement also prevents officials from picking up homeless people in one city and taking them to another for services, a practice known as \"dumping.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement also includes establishing standards of care for county-funded shelters and service programs; clinical assessments; developing a plan to better accommodate people with disabilities and guaranteeing due process protections for those who have been denied services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement comes just months after the American Civil Liberties Union issued a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11733516/aclu-issues-damning-report-on-orange-county-shelters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">damning report\u003c/a> on three county-run shelters, describing unsafe and unsanitary living conditions, a culture of discrimination and abuse, violation of rights without due process and an overall lack of accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court will continue to have jurisdiction over the two lawsuits for the next three years to oversee the implementation of the settlement and address any disputes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This [settlement] signifies that to the federal court's satisfaction we have built out an adequate number of shelter beds that would allow the jurisdictions the ability to enforce their anti-camping and nuisance law,\" said Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do, who called it an \"exemplary\" agreement. \"The north and central regions constitute about 80% of the number of homeless we have in the county. So to the degree that we can at least help address and meet the need of 80% of our homeless population, that's a big win for us as a county.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooke Weitzman, the attorney representing the plaintiffs in the suit, said the settlement signals that officials and resident can no longer ignore the root issues of homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can't pretend it's a problem purely stemming from addiction,\" she said. \"Our elected officials and our residents all need to look at this and say, 'Look, it's a housing problem and we need to figure out how we're going to make sure that people are safe and alive between now and when we have enough housing.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

It alleged that the county — along with the cities of Anaheim, Costa Mesa and Orange — was forcing people to move \"without a plan for housing or shelter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second suit, filed in February 2018, alleged that the county's existing housing programs for the homeless didn't adequately accommodate people with disabilities, in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the two sides have worked toward an agreement under the watch of U.S. District Judge David O. Carter. Carter initially prevented the county from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11650308/homeless-at-orange-county-riverbed-camp-prepare-to-move\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clearing the roughly 400-person encampment\u003c/a>, saying he would \"not allow haphazard, hurried enforcement action in an effort to clear the population,\" but later sanctioned the action on the condition that food and motel vouchers be provided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of the long settlement process, many of the hearings grew contentious, with Carter consistently \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11659893/federal-judge-holds-orange-county-cities-feet-to-the-fire-over-homeless-crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pressing the county\u003c/a> and cities on why they had \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11658250/orange-county-bows-to-pressure-abandons-plans-to-house-homeless\">reversed course\u003c/a> on plans to create more shelters and fund diversion programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We are better than this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another homeless civil rights lawsuit, filed in February against the cities of Aliso Viejo, Dana Point, Irvine, San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano, is still pending in federal court under the supervision of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ocregister.com/2019/06/21/with-judge-carter-out-how-will-homeless-lawsuits-work-in-orange-county/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">different federal judge\u003c/a>, who replaced Carter after defendants pushed to have him recused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county and cities have since made progress on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11656882/in-reversal-orange-county-supervisors-vote-for-more-homeless-shelters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">construction of new shelters\u003c/a> in \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/news/tn-dpt-cm-shelter-opening-20190405-story.html\">Costa Mesa\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://voiceofoc.org/2019/03/north-county-cities-move-ahead-on-homeless-shelters/\">Buena Park\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://voiceofoc.org/2018/11/santa-ana-opens-new-interim-200-bed-homeless-shelter/\">Santa Ana\u003c/a>, among other locales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new settlement establishes rules across local government agencies for addressing homelessness. It comes just a few months after \u003ca href=\"https://www.unitedtoendhomelessness.org/2019-point-in-time-count\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the preliminary results of the latest county point-in-time homeless count\u003c/a> found that the number of homeless people had ballooned to nearly 7,000 — more than a 40% increase since 2017 — with over half living in unsheltered conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This settlement is really about what the big picture is going to look like,\" said Brooke Weitzman, an attorney with the Elder Law and Disability Rights Center, who helped file the original suit. \"What are the consistent policies going to look like? How is the county going to implement best practices? What is the sheriff going to do in terms of enforcement?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement sanctions the Orange County Sheriff's Department to create \"policies and procedures\" for enforcing anti-camping and anti-loitering ordinances. But it emphasizes that law enforcement officials must comply with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals 2018 \u003ca href=\"https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2018/09/04/15-35845.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Martin v. Boise\u003c/a> ruling, which determined that homeless people can't be cited for camping unless they've been offered somewhere else to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff's deputies will be required to work with specially trained service workers to schedule screenings with individual homeless people in order to determine proper local placement. The settlement also prevents officials from picking up homeless people in one city and taking them to another for services, a practice known as \"dumping.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement also includes establishing standards of care for county-funded shelters and service programs; clinical assessments; developing a plan to better accommodate people with disabilities and guaranteeing due process protections for those who have been denied services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement comes just months after the American Civil Liberties Union issued a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11733516/aclu-issues-damning-report-on-orange-county-shelters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">damning report\u003c/a> on three county-run shelters, describing unsafe and unsanitary living conditions, a culture of discrimination and abuse, violation of rights without due process and an overall lack of accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court will continue to have jurisdiction over the two lawsuits for the next three years to oversee the implementation of the settlement and address any disputes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This [settlement] signifies that to the federal court's satisfaction we have built out an adequate number of shelter beds that would allow the jurisdictions the ability to enforce their anti-camping and nuisance law,\" said Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do, who called it an \"exemplary\" agreement. \"The north and central regions constitute about 80% of the number of homeless we have in the county. So to the degree that we can at least help address and meet the need of 80% of our homeless population, that's a big win for us as a county.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooke Weitzman, the attorney representing the plaintiffs in the suit, said the settlement signals that officials and resident can no longer ignore the root issues of homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can't pretend it's a problem purely stemming from addiction,\" she said. \"Our elected officials and our residents all need to look at this and say, 'Look, it's a housing problem and we need to figure out how we're going to make sure that people are safe and alive between now and when we have enough housing.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Raised in Oklahoma, he’s never gotten used to the heat in the valley. It makes being homeless that much harder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One thing is it’s too dang hot here,” says Poston. “I have blackouts because of the heat. And there’s nothing I can do about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poston has been looking for work in the valley for a long time with no success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve tried and tried and tried and tried,” he says wearily. “They keep telling me the same thing. ‘You’re not socially acceptable.’ Whatever the hell that means.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If he ever does get a job, he has one goal: To leave the valley and return home to Oklahoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

She inherited a number of challenging issues, including the city’s sky-high rents that have heightened concerns about growing income inequality, and homelessness, which has increased by nearly 20 percent since 2017. In March, she unveiled a controversial plan to open the city’s largest homeless navigation center on a lot along the Embarcadero despite opposition from neighborhood residents. Mayor London Breed joins us in the studio for a discussion about the city’s top challenges and her re-election bid in November. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Tensions with Iran and Look Ahead at Democratic Debates\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After a U.S. surveillance drone was shot down near Iran this week, President Trump warned that he “would not stand for it.” The incident comes just days after American officials blamed Iran for recent attacks on foreign shipping tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway where much of the world’s oil is transported. On the domestic front, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is facing calls to apologize after he fondly spoke about what he considered civil working relationships with segregationists in the Senate.

Also this week, PG&E agreed to pay $1 billion to local governments after a series of devastating wildfires were linked to its power lines and equipment. The funds are intended to help cover damage spread over 14 cities and counties, including losses from last year’s Camp Fire, which killed 85 people in the town of Paradise. Meanwhile, environmental activists and city officials want San Francisco to look into abandoning the utility, which filed for bankruptcy in January, citing liabilities in the tens of billions of dollars for its role in deadly 2017 and 2018 wildfires. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Lisa Pickoff-White, data journalist, KQED \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

That money has been committed to build more than half of the 10,000 new housing units planned countywide over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, a county agency, said the same people have not remained on the streets. The agency helped 21,631 people move into permanent housing during 2018 — a pace that could rapidly end homelessness if economic pressures had not pushed thousands more into the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while some people who had been homeless managed to get permanent places to live, others who had homes were forced onto the streets of metro Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are being housed out of homelessness and falling into homelessness on a continuous basis,” said Peter Lynn, the authority’s executive director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a quarter of the people in the L.A. count became homeless for the first time in the past year, and about half of those cited economic hardship as the primary cause, the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To catch up, cities need to overcome resistance to the placement of housing and shelters, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Janice Hahn called the numbers “disheartening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11721460,news_11668623\" label=\"Homelessness\"]“Even though our data shows we are housing more people than ever, it is hard to be optimistic when that progress is overwhelmed by the number of people falling into homelessness,” Hahn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles County numbers mirror tallies across California, as state officials struggle to address a lack of affordable housing. In addition, officials said, wages among lower-income residents have not kept up with the rising cost of living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some state lawmakers on Tuesday called for legislation capping rent increases on some tenants and encouraging the construction of more affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re seeing folks who are working, have jobs and are homeless. They can’t afford the rent. They can’t afford to live in the communities in which they’ve grown up their entire life. And they’re being displaced,” said Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks, a Democrat from Oakland, where a countywide survey this year found a 43% increase in the homeless population over the last several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11751060/a-rare-tenant-win-in-the-capitol-but-why-dont-californias-renters-have-more-political-punch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tenant legislation faces persistent opposition\u003c/a> from landlords, and other major housing bills have already sputtered this legislative session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles count found a 24% increase in homeless youth, defined as people under 25, and a 7% jump in people 62 or older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials estimate about 29% of people experiencing homelessness in L.A. County are mentally ill or coping with substance abuse problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About two-thirds of all people on the streets are male, just under one-third are female, and about 2% identify as transgender or gender nonconforming.\u003c/p>\n\n",
