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.",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated Tuesday, April 2, 3 p.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of San Francisco waterfront residents opposed to Mayor London Breed’s plan to build a homeless facility on an Embarcadero parking lot are building a war chest for a possible legal challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calling themselves “Safe Embarcadero for All,” the loose coalition of residents from Rincon Hill, South Beach and other nearby neighborhoods have already \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/safe-embarcadero-for-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">raised close to $70,000 online\u003c/a> in just over a week. The funds, the group said on its GoFundMe page, will be used exclusively for legal costs necessary to block construction of the proposed navigation center, a facility that Breed wants open by the summer to provide shelter and a range of supportive services to the area’s homeless residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My main concern is safety, not just myself, but my family and other people in the community,” said Wallace Lee, one of the group’s organizers. “It’s really an experiment that the city is putting into a densely populated residential area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On its campaign page, the group takes issue with what it calls the city’s rushed process to build the shelter without community support and cites serious concerns about how the project could impact safety and health in the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Homelessness is a very real problem that we all need to help solve,” the group wrote on its campaign page. “However, completely removing meaningful community engagement and Board oversight is no way to achieve a lasting solution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group is raising funds to retain the San Francisco legal firm \u003ca href=\"https://www.zfplaw.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zacks, Freedman & Patterson\u003c/a>, and is already looking into whether the center’s fast-paced construction plans may be in violation of the California Environmental Quality Act or other development regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said he hopes to avoid legal action, but because of how fast the city is moving, he said his group needs consider its options and prepare for a fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/safer-embarcadero-for-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a dueling GoFundMe campaign\u003c/a> in support of the project had already been launched and quickly eclipsed its rival, raising nearly $90,000 by Friday night. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who gave $10,000, is among the more than 1,100 people who have contributed so far.

The funds, the group said on its GoFundMe page, will be used exclusively for legal costs necessary to block construction of the proposed navigation center, a facility that Breed wants open by the summer to provide shelter and a range of supportive services to the area’s homeless residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My main concern is safety, not just myself, but my family and other people in the community,” said Wallace Lee, one of the group’s organizers. “It’s really an experiment that the city is putting into a densely populated residential area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On its campaign page, the group takes issue with what it calls the city’s rushed process to build the shelter without community support and cites serious concerns about how the project could impact safety and health in the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>A Berkeley City Council majority voted late Tuesday night, after more than three hours of emotional public comment, to outlaw overnight RV parking in Berkeley, but only after creating an RV permit system and committing to aid “priority populations” in their search for permanent housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='affordable-housing' label='KQED coverage of affordable housing']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The permit would allow some vehicle dwellers to park in Berkeley for up to three months, with the possibility of an extension, and prioritize several groups, including families with young children, Berkeley workers, students who attend Berkeley schools, and people with a prior address in Berkeley over the last 10 years, said Councilwoman Sophie Hahn, who suggested that amendment to the Feb. 28 proposal to \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/2019/03/26/rv-dwellers-pressure-berkeley-city-council-to-reverse-parking-ban\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prohibit RV* parking\u003c/a> in Berkeley from 2-5 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The change won’t happen immediately, though. The council majority also voted to suspend any enforcement of the parking ban — except for health and safety violations — until the new permit system is in place. That could take up to six months, officials said. The vote came just before midnight Tuesday amid chants of “shame” and “race traitor” from some members of the public who stayed late to hear the outcome of the discussion after much of the room emptied out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley police say they have counted around 200 RVs throughout the city. West Berkeley, in particular, has seen a concentration of vehicle dwellers, the city has said, some of whom have been associated with an array of issues, from the improper disposal of hypodermic needles and human waste to crime and behavior problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Council members Kate Harrison, Cheryl Davila and Rigel Robinson voted against the ban, while the rest of the City Council — Mayor Jesse Arreguín, Sophie Hahn, Ben Bartlett, Rashi Kesarwani, Susan Wengraf and Lori Droste — voted for it. Tuesday’s vote was the second reading required of all city ordinances before they go into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bulk of the raucous crowd that assembled for Tuesday’s meeting called the parking ban inhumane and insisted that RV dwellers contribute to the Berkeley community in many positive ways. Many shared their stories of how they ended up on the streets and said no one should consider themselves immune from that fate. They said their vehicles have kept them from pushing Berkeley’s homeless population even higher and asked the city to support them, not add to their struggles to survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Council member Rigel Robinson, who voted against the ban']‘I don’t believe Berkeley should be in the business of evicting people whose lives are here.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One young father told the council he moved his family from a house in Vallejo to an RV in Berkeley so his small children could get a Berkeley education. As he held her up to the microphone, his daughter (pictured at the top of this story) told the council she lives in an RV and wants to stay in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents and members of the business community who took an alternate position said that, while they didn’t want to criminalize anyone, the city must enforce its rules. They said Berkeley has become a magnet for vehicle dwellers from elsewhere because enforcement has been so lax. Some said the impact on the parking supply alone has posed significant challenges for longtime West Berkeley businesses and their customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, the council drew ire from some members of the crowd when the mayor tried to handle other business briefly before the council discussed and voted on the RV item, which was No. 21 on the agenda. Here is a video of that portion of the meeting:\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11735844\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 760px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11735844\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03272019_Berkeley-council-RVs1-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Berkeley Affirms Ban on Overnight RV Parking — Once Permit System Is in Place\" width=\"760\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03272019_Berkeley-council-RVs1-qut.jpg 760w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03272019_Berkeley-council-RVs1-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03272019_Berkeley-council-RVs1-qut-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/03272019_Berkeley-council-RVs1-qut-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Just a few of the speakers who lined up for public comment Tuesday. Most asked the council to reject the overnight parking ban or delay the vote. \u003ccite>(Emilie Raguso/Berkeleyside)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After the lengthy public comment period, council remarks Tuesday were relatively brief, in large part due to the lateness of the hour and the council’s extended discussion in late February. Most “second reading” votes take place on the consent calendar without further discussion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her comments, Councilwoman Hahn called on “Apple, Google and the top 1,000 grossing companies in the Bay Area” to “step up” to help cities like Berkeley. She said the Bay Area’s overheated job market, created “with no regard for housing,” has been a huge factor in the worsening housing crisis, driving up rents and home values and pushing them increasingly out of reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have a huge role in creating this crisis,” she said, in what she called a “public appeal” to those companies. “I know you didn’t mean to, but you did. You are profiting from the workers you brought here. Wildly. Apple’s 2018 revenues exceed the combined budgets of all city government entities in the entire Bay Area. By a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hahn then read her office phone number into the record and urged those companies to call her or any member of the City Council to “talk about how you can help us help our homeless and precariously housed. We need you to realize that you are not global. You are local, and you are responsible to our communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Arreguín said the new law would involve intensive public outreach, along with work by the city to identify other places in the area for “safe haven parking” and the possibility of financial help for vehicle repairs. Wednesday night, he said, the Berkeley Unified School District is set to discuss the concept of letting BUSD families who live in RVs park on school property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/berkeleyside/status/1110785792681467906\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harrison urged her colleagues to put off Tuesday’s vote until next week, when the council is scheduled to discuss an item she wrote with Davila to propose the creation of a “vehicle dweller program” in Berkeley. But her motion was unsuccessful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davila said, in her remarks from the dais, that she was upset with how the night had gone and remains unconvinced local businesses have lost money as a result of Berkeley’s street life: “We need to stop all this BS and hating on each other,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davila and others said they want to look more deeply at the possibility of vehicle parking at the marina, and what state law may actually allow. City officials and staff have said previously that \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/2018/07/02/rv-campers-get-one-more-week-at-marina-after-contentious-council-meeting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state law prohibits an encampment there\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several council members agreed that perhaps the biggest source of tension between vehicle dwellers and those who want them to move has been the concentration of RVs in West Berkeley, where certain blocks have a high density of occupied vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Achieving more geographic dispersal alone would likely alleviate many of the criticisms people have raised, Councilman Robinson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He thanked his colleagues Arreguín, Hahn and Kesarwani for their updated proposal and its explicit commitment to outreach, help with repairs and “safe haven parking,” calling it “a far more empathetic solution” than the Feb. 28 proposal. But he said he still couldn’t vote for the new law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of the reasons I voted no on the first reading still stand,” he said. “I don’t believe Berkeley should be in the business of evicting people whose lives are here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>*According to the ordinance language, the new law would apply to “a single vehicle or combination of vehicles having more than two axles, a single vehicle or combination of vehicles 20 feet or more in length, or a single vehicle or combination of vehicles six feet six inches or more in width, and shall include, but shall not be limited to dump trucks, moving vans, tractors, pole or pipe dollies, recreational vehicles (RVs), campers.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The council majority also voted to suspend any enforcement of the parking ban — except for health and safety violations — until the new permit system is in place.

You are profiting from the workers you brought here. Wildly. Apple’s 2018 revenues exceed the combined budgets of all city government entities in the entire Bay Area. By a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hahn then read her office phone number into the record and urged those companies to call her or any member of the City Council to “talk about how you can help us help our homeless and precariously housed. We need you to realize that you are not global. You are local, and you are responsible to our communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Arreguín said the new law would involve intensive public outreach, along with work by the city to identify other places in the area for “safe haven parking” and the possibility of financial help for vehicle repairs.

California must do better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 40,000 students at 57 community colleges statewide took the #RealCollege Survey in the fall of 2016 and 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students at higher risk for facing hunger and housing insecurity include those who are parents, divorced, former foster youth, African-American, LGBTQ or have served in the military. Formerly incarcerated students are at higher risk, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rates of highest basic needs challenges among students were in the greater Sacramento area as well as in the northern coastal and inland regions. Such needs were “far lower” but “still substantial” in the south-central area, including Santa Barbara, the Hope Center said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of students struggling to meet basic needs isn’t surprising, said Ya’Mese Johnson. As the student body president of Merritt College in Oakland, Johnson sees what many community college students are up against: “I’ve known many students that have worked like four jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was another of the report’s findings: 84 percent of students grappling with food insecurity had a job or were looking for one, as were most of those coping with housing challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of students are working jobs that are minimum wage or lower,” Christine Baker-Smith, managing director at the Hope Center, told KQED. She said it was also harder for students to hold down jobs with shifting class schedules, making it tough for them to compete with people who don’t have the same obstacles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='homelessness' label='More homelessness coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center said data show that working and receiving financial aid wasn’t enough to help students struggling with unaffordable housing costs and rising food prices — especially in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difficulties can affect the academics, including college completion rates. Johnson said she worked two jobs last year to make ends meet: “It makes it super hard to take a full-time class load.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though limited public benefits are available to students, many of them don’t take advantage of such help: Eight percent of homeless community college students get housing assistance and about 20 percent of them get \u003ca href=\"https://eatfresh.org/\">CalFresh\u003c/a> (federally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP), the Hope Center said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The primary thing we think is going on is that most students don’t know” about the aid, said Baker-Smith. “There is also some stigma involved in the feeling that one is insecure in (their) basic needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the \u003ca href=\"https://hope4college.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Hope-TICAS-CCCCO-Brief.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">center’s recommendations\u003c/a> to help students include offering a school lunch program, changing the CalGrant program to allow community colleges to accept more federal financial assistance, exploring creative housing options and ensuring college staff are aware of the various aid benefits available to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Vanessa Rancaño contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of our series The College Try, about what it takes for students who don’t come from means to get a higher ed degree in California today.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

California must do better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 40,000 students at 57 community colleges statewide took the #RealCollege Survey in the fall of 2016 and 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students at higher risk for facing hunger and housing insecurity include those who are parents, divorced, former foster youth, African-American, LGBTQ or have served in the military. Formerly incarcerated students are at higher risk, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rates of highest basic needs challenges among students were in the greater Sacramento area as well as in the northern coastal and inland regions.

As the student body president of Merritt College in Oakland, Johnson sees what many community college students are up against: “I’ve known many students that have worked like four jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was another of the report’s findings: 84 percent of students grappling with food insecurity had a job or were looking for one, as were most of those coping with housing challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of students are working jobs that are minimum wage or lower,” Christine Baker-Smith, managing director at the Hope Center, told KQED.

Edwards and his coworkers normally check on people living on the streets at least three times a week, but they increase that to nearly every day when the weather is bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says San Francisco has one of highest rates of homeless people per capita, and there aren’t options for the thousands living on the city’s streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one’s telling us that they’re being offered services,” Edwards said. “No one’s telling us that they’re being offered a place in a shelter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to San Francisco’s Department of Homeless and Supportive Housing (HSH), the city opens up an additional 75 shelter beds or more if one of the following conditions are met:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Temperatures forecast to drop to or below 40 degrees for two consecutive days or longer\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rainfall forecast to be 1.5 inches or more each day for two consecutive days\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rainfall forecast to be 0.75 inches or more on each of three or more consecutive days or longer\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Forecasts of temperatures to drop to or below 45 degrees AND rainfall to be 0.5 inches or more AND winds of more than 30 miles per hour all within the same 24 hour period for one or more days\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>HSH Director Jeff Kositsky said his department has voluntarily opened up those additional beds, including during the most recent storm, even though the required criteria were never met. If 70 of the 75 beds are used on any given night, the city expands its response by opening additional shelters as needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“No one’s telling us that they’re being offered services.

And I’m really proud of the staff that are out in the rain in the cold trying to help people,” Kositsky said. “Again, our protocols are good. But as long as anybody is out on the street, whether it’s raining or not, we still have more work to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department said it will continue to offer 75 additional shelter spots through Monday morning. But Edwards, of the Coalition on Homelessness, says the city is overloaded. There are nearly 1,200 people waiting for temporary beds on the single adult shelter waitlist in the city, and that doesn’t include families with children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11726830\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11726830\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/FullSizeRender-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/FullSizeRender-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/FullSizeRender-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/FullSizeRender-1020x766.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/FullSizeRender-1200x901.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/FullSizeRender-1920x1441.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">SFPD officers conduct a homeless sweep in the rain. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the Coalition on Homelessness)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The reality of it is, there are 5,000 people that can’t fit into the shelter system today,” Edwards said. “People think that oh, there’s some place for people to go.

It’s a cold hell,” said James Smith, who has been living on the streets of the Tenderloin for over a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith — wearing four jackets, standing next to a wheelchair he uses when his sciatica acts up, and a pile of his belongings covered by half of a blue tarp with holes in it — said he hasn’t been offered any services or housing by the city, despite the storms. Although the police haven’t bothered him, he said they have been confiscating nearby tents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeless advocacy groups agree. They say police have been seizing tents and survival supplies from people living on the streets before the storms.

Edwards and his coworkers normally check on people living on the streets at least three times a week, but they increase that to nearly every day when the weather is bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says San Francisco has one of highest rates of homeless people per capita, and there aren’t options for the thousands living on the city’s streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one’s telling us that they’re being offered services,” Edwards said. “No one’s telling us that they’re being offered a place in a shelter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to San Francisco’s Department of Homeless and Supportive Housing (HSH), the city opens up an additional 75 shelter beds or more if one of the following conditions are met:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Temperatures forecast to drop to or below 40 degrees for two consecutive days or longer\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rainfall forecast to be 1.5 inches or more each day for two consecutive days\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rainfall forecast to be 0.75 inches or more on each of three or more consecutive days or longer\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Forecasts of temperatures to drop to or below 45 degrees AND rainfall to be 0.5 inches or more AND winds of more than 30 miles per hour all within the same 24 hour period for one or more days\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>HSH Director Jeff Kositsky said his department has voluntarily opened up those additional beds, including during the most recent storm, even though the required criteria were never met. If 70 of the 75 beds are used on any given night, the city expands its response by opening additional shelters as needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“No one’s telling us that they’re being offered services.

And I’m really proud of the staff that are out in the rain in the cold trying to help people,” Kositsky said. “Again, our protocols are good. But as long as anybody is out on the street, whether it’s raining or not, we still have more work to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department said it will continue to offer 75 additional shelter spots through Monday morning. But Edwards, of the Coalition on Homelessness, says the city is overloaded. There are nearly 1,200 people waiting for temporary beds on the single adult shelter waitlist in the city, and that doesn’t include families with children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11726830\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11726830\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/FullSizeRender-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/FullSizeRender-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/FullSizeRender-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/FullSizeRender-1020x766.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/FullSizeRender-1200x901.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/FullSizeRender-1920x1441.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">SFPD officers conduct a homeless sweep in the rain. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the Coalition on Homelessness)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The reality of it is, there are 5,000 people that can’t fit into the shelter system today,” Edwards said. “People think that oh, there’s some place for people to go.
