She made the swim in just under 15 hours in 1989. Berkay bested that time by more than two hours, completing the swim in 12 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm in awe of that fact,\" Berkay said of her record-breaking swim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Berkay had friends waiting for her and cheering her on as she sprinted to the end of her swim.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It just seemed like a very surreal moment,\" she said. \"I couldn't believe the swim was finished, and I had actually done it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>--\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Original post:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melissa Berkay is not your average Mills College swimmer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t usually get athletes of her caliber,\" said Neil Virtue, head coach of \u003ca href=\"http://www.millscyclones.com/sports/wswimdive/index\" target=\"_blank\">the swim team\u003c/a> at the small liberal arts college in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A competitive teenage swimmer in the San Diego area, Berkay earned a scholarship in 2009 to Rider University in New Jersey, which has a Division I swim program. But she wound up coming back to California after just two years. She was out of school -- and out of the pool -- for four years, including an eight-month stretch when she was homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a combination of relationship and financial and job issues and lack of safety net and familial support that led to that,\" Berkay said in \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2016/aug/08/formerly-homeless-san-diegan-swims-combat-homeless/\" target=\"_blank\">an interview with KPBS\u003c/a>. \"It was definitely a growing experience I wouldn't have been able to make it through without the support I received. I'm motivated by that experience to give back to those communities and to show that a person who has been in that position can make a difference.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That experience has motivated Berkay to attempt something no American has done before. This Wednesday, she will try to swim the Catalina Channel -- 21 miles from Santa Catalina Island to Rancho Palos Verdes -- using only the butterfly stroke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/277386407\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she has wanted to do a marathon swim -- an open-water swim of at least 10 kilometers -- since she was 11, but when the opportunity presented itself this summer, she knew it had to be more than just a swim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm going to do this swim, but I really don't want to do it for myself because there's something I can do with this,\" Berkay said in an interview last week. \"This solely shouldn't be about me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had seen other marathon swimmers raise money for diabetes or cancer, but rarely for organizations that focus on homelessness. Knowing firsthand how important these organizations can be, she decided to use her swim to raise money for three California nonprofits focused on homelessness: \u003ca href=\"http://www.godsextendedhand.com/\" target=\"_blank\">God's Extended Hand Mission\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ccdsd.org/programs/homeless-womens-services/\" target=\"_blank\">Rachel's Women's Center\u003c/a> in San Diego and \u003ca href=\"https://www.projecthomelessconnect.org/2015/06/jazzies-place-americas-first-lgbt-shelter/\" target=\"_blank\">Jazzie's Place\u003c/a> in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Giving back to the community that helped me at one point is really important to me personally,\" Berkay said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She set up a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/catalinachannel\" target=\"_blank\">GoFundMe page\u003c/a>, which has raised more than $1,300 so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkay fell back on her swimming experiences and her \"almost military-style\" training out East to help her get through her hard times after returning to California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'If I can do that, I can deal with this economic crisis I'm in right now,'\" she said she told herself. \"That really helped me adjusting to a situation that would be hard to get through if I didn't have that experience.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkay was rarely in the water during those four years and thought she would never swim again. But it didn't take long for her to kick off any rust she might have had when she joined the Mills College team in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first few times I saw her in the water, it was like a machine,\" Virtue said. \"She was go, go, go. It was like she was her full self in the water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After just two months of training at Mills, Berkay became the school's first swimmer to qualify for the NCAA Division III national championships and was named to the Scholar All-America Team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has spent the last two months training to swim the Catalina Channel, sometimes spending eight or 10 hours straight in the water. Those long days swimming lap after lap at Aquatic Park in San Francisco are Berkay's favorite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think they're fun,\" she said with a laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Virtue isn't surprised that Berkay has been able to commit herself fully to this new goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She has this uncanny ability to say, 'That's what I want,' and then go there,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkay says a lot of people have been asking her if she's looking ahead to the chance to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. She won't commit either way on the Olympics, but she does plan on continuing with marathon swimming and using her swimming to reach a bigger goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[I want] to dedicate athletic achievements to more important topics and issues that affect people today in real-life situations,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She made the swim in just under 15 hours in 1989.

But she wound up coming back to California after just two years. She was out of school -- and out of the pool -- for four years, including an eight-month stretch when she was homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a combination of relationship and financial and job issues and lack of safety net and familial support that led to that,\" Berkay said in \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2016/aug/08/formerly-homeless-san-diegan-swims-combat-homeless/\" target=\"_blank\">an interview with KPBS\u003c/a>. \"It was definitely a growing experience I wouldn't have been able to make it through without the support I received. I'm motivated by that experience to give back to those communities and to show that a person who has been in that position can make a difference.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That experience has motivated Berkay to attempt something no American has done before. This Wednesday, she will try to swim the Catalina Channel -- 21 miles from Santa Catalina Island to Rancho Palos Verdes -- using only the butterfly stroke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/277386407&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/277386407'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she has wanted to do a marathon swim -- an open-water swim of at least 10 kilometers -- since she was 11, but when the opportunity presented itself this summer, she knew it had to be more than just a swim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm going to do this swim, but I really don't want to do it for myself because there's something I can do with this,\" Berkay said in an interview last week. \"This solely shouldn't be about me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had seen other marathon swimmers raise money for diabetes or cancer, but rarely for organizations that focus on homelessness. Knowing firsthand how important these organizations can be, she decided to use her swim to raise money for three California nonprofits focused on homelessness: \u003ca href=\"http://www.godsextendedhand.com/\" target=\"_blank\">God's Extended Hand Mission\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ccdsd.org/programs/homeless-womens-services/\" target=\"_blank\">Rachel's Women's Center\u003c/a> in San Diego and \u003ca href=\"https://www.projecthomelessconnect.org/2015/06/jazzies-place-americas-first-lgbt-shelter/\" target=\"_blank\">Jazzie's Place\u003c/a> in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Giving back to the community that helped me at one point is really important to me personally,\" Berkay said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She set up a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/catalinachannel\" target=\"_blank\">GoFundMe page\u003c/a>, which has raised more than $1,300 so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkay fell back on her swimming experiences and her \"almost military-style\" training out East to help her get through her hard times after returning to California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'If I can do that, I can deal with this economic crisis I'm in right now,'\" she said she told herself. \"That really helped me adjusting to a situation that would be hard to get through if I didn't have that experience.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkay was rarely in the water during those four years and thought she would never swim again. But it didn't take long for her to kick off any rust she might have had when she joined the Mills College team in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first few times I saw her in the water, it was like a machine,\" Virtue said. \"She was go, go, go. It was like she was her full self in the water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After just two months of training at Mills, Berkay became the school's first swimmer to qualify for the NCAA Division III national championships and was named to the Scholar All-America Team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has spent the last two months training to swim the Catalina Channel, sometimes spending eight or 10 hours straight in the water. Those long days swimming lap after lap at Aquatic Park in San Francisco are Berkay's favorite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think they're fun,\" she said with a laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Virtue isn't surprised that Berkay has been able to commit herself fully to this new goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She has this uncanny ability to say, 'That's what I want,' and then go there,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkay says a lot of people have been asking her if she's looking ahead to the chance to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. She won't commit either way on the Olympics, but she does plan on continuing with marathon swimming and using her swimming to reach a bigger goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>One of the key tools in the effort to end homelessness has a weakness. The “housing first” approach adopted by communities across the country involves helping people find housing and, in many cases, subsidizing their rent. Facing a shortage of rental housing, Santa Cruz County has set out to recruit landlords to rent to people who have been homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Brad Schwartz’s case, finding a landlord who would rent to him took about six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting on his couch sipping a beer, he explains that in 2007 or 2008, after two decades of homelessness, he applied for a Section 8 voucher -- a federally funded rental subsidy for people with very low incomes or disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/271555780\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got tired of being on the streets,” he says. “I decided I’d done everything I’d wanted to do while I was out there and that I wanted to tie up all my loose ends.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He continued sleeping in the woods for about five more years until county staff called and told him his name had come up on the waiting list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ ‘Now go get your voucher and look for a place. You have two months to find one.’ It was like a game show thing and I couldn’t find one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 60-day time limit is supposed to keep vouchers from going unused. But for Schwartz it wasn’t enough time to find a landlord who would take his voucher. He’s not alone, says Santa Cruz County Housing Manager Julie Conway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Model Tenants\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got a number of property managers whose approach with the properties they manage is to just not even consider tenant-based subsidies,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One landlord recently told her he was afraid: “‘I’m just going to have this person in here who’s got major substance abuse issues and so do all of their friends. He’s just going to come in and trash the unit and cost me lots of money and why would I do that.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Conway’s account, the landlord ended up renting to someone he had known previously who had become homeless as the result of a health issue. The person became a model tenant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That person was so relieved to have a housing unit that the last thing they were going to do was blow it.” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a theme in the campaign Conway is launching to encourage landlords to take tenants who have been homeless. The campaign is part of the county’s “\u003ca href=\"http://www.unitedwaysc.org/news/new-countywide-strategic-plan-end-homelessness-approved\">All-In Strategic Plan to End Homelessness\u003c/a>.” Counter to stereotypes, people who have been homeless are often quiet, reliable tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/sf-homeless-project\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11004769\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/sfproject3-800x240.jpg\" alt=\"sfproject3\" width=\"800\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/sfproject3.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/sfproject3-400x120.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Business Based on Renting to the Formerly Homeless\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A video she plans to show to the local Rotary Club and other civic groups opens with the slogan “Landlords: You are the key to ending homelessness in Santa Cruz County.” The video includes testimonials from landlords. One of them, Jack Cross, owns about 40 small units. He says renting to subsidized tenants is good business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t like turnover, because turnover or vacancies is a headache of cleaning and advertising again and screening tenants,” Cross says. “Whereas these tenants stay for a long periods of time. The cash flow’s good and you don’t have any down time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an incentive, the county will cover rent, if a tenant fails to pay. Conway says that’s unlikely because rent subsidies already automatically deposit into property owners’ accounts. The county will also pay a limited amount on top of the security deposit if a property gets damaged. These financial bonuses follow a model the county tried in a small program years ago. In that experience, Conway says only two small damage claims were filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Finally Home\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his search, Brad Schwartz had to request two extensions on the deadline for his voucher. He eventually got some help finding a place from John Dietz, a volunteer with 180/2020.

The “housing first” approach adopted by communities across the country involves helping people find housing and, in many cases, subsidizing their rent. Facing a shortage of rental housing, Santa Cruz County has set out to recruit landlords to rent to people who have been homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Brad Schwartz’s case, finding a landlord who would rent to him took about six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting on his couch sipping a beer, he explains that in 2007 or 2008, after two decades of homelessness, he applied for a Section 8 voucher -- a federally funded rental subsidy for people with very low incomes or disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/271555780&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/271555780'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got tired of being on the streets,” he says. “I decided I’d done everything I’d wanted to do while I was out there and that I wanted to tie up all my loose ends.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You have two months to find one.’ It was like a game show thing and I couldn’t find one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 60-day time limit is supposed to keep vouchers from going unused. But for Schwartz it wasn’t enough time to find a landlord who would take his voucher. He’s not alone, says Santa Cruz County Housing Manager Julie Conway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Model Tenants\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got a number of property managers whose approach with the properties they manage is to just not even consider tenant-based subsidies,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One landlord recently told her he was afraid: “‘I’m just going to have this person in here who’s got major substance abuse issues and so do all of their friends. He’s just going to come in and trash the unit and cost me lots of money and why would I do that.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Conway’s account, the landlord ended up renting to someone he had known previously who had become homeless as the result of a health issue. The person became a model tenant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That person was so relieved to have a housing unit that the last thing they were going to do was blow it.” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a theme in the campaign Conway is launching to encourage landlords to take tenants who have been homeless. The campaign is part of the county’s “\u003ca href=\"http://www.unitedwaysc.org/news/new-countywide-strategic-plan-end-homelessness-approved\">All-In Strategic Plan to End Homelessness\u003c/a>.” Counter to stereotypes, people who have been homeless are often quiet, reliable tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/sf-homeless-project\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11004769\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/sfproject3-800x240.jpg\" alt=\"sfproject3\" width=\"800\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/sfproject3.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/sfproject3-400x120.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Business Based on Renting to the Formerly Homeless\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A video she plans to show to the local Rotary Club and other civic groups opens with the slogan “Landlords: You are the key to ending homelessness in Santa Cruz County.” The video includes testimonials from landlords. One of them, Jack Cross, owns about 40 small units. He says renting to subsidized tenants is good business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t like turnover, because turnover or vacancies is a headache of cleaning and advertising again and screening tenants,” Cross says. “Whereas these tenants stay for a long periods of time. The cash flow’s good and you don’t have any down time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an incentive, the county will cover rent, if a tenant fails to pay. Conway says that’s unlikely because rent subsidies already automatically deposit into property owners’ accounts. The county will also pay a limited amount on top of the security deposit if a property gets damaged. These financial bonuses follow a model the county tried in a small program years ago. In that experience, Conway says only two small damage claims were filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Finally Home\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his search, Brad Schwartz had to request two extensions on the deadline for his voucher. He eventually got some help finding a place from John Dietz, a volunteer with 180/2020. That’s Santa Cruz County’s program that aims to make a 180-degree turnaround for the homelessness problem by the year 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“John called me one day -- Saturday or something like 8 in the morning,” Schwartz says. “And he calls me and goes, ‘I just talked to a lady and she wants us there 2 o’clock for an interview. Got a place near the beach that you’d like where you can smoke tobacco.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His house has just two rooms. It’s in a part of Santa Cruz dominated by apartment buildings. The ivy and blackberry in the yard require regular trimming. Schwartz thinks his enthusiasm for yard work might have persuaded his landlord to pick him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I help out with the ladies in front, I help with the front yard and do a lot of raking. And do little things that help me feel like I’m being responsible,” he says. “It’s the place I live, it’s not just this box I’m renting and they can do what they want with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conway says getting more landlords to take formerly homeless tenants is just part of the answer to the homelessness problem.

Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
