"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener says the city needs to find a prompt and \"humane\" way to eliminate tent encampments that house a growing number of homeless people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The growing presence of tent camps in San Francisco \"represents our city's failure to provide adequate housing/shelter and assistance for those who want help, as well as a failure to make clear to those who refuse help that tents on our sidewalks and in our public spaces are unacceptable\" Wiener wrote in a letter last week (\u003ca href=\"#wienerletter\">embedded below\u003c/a>) to the heads of six city agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These tents are a public safety and a public health problem for the people living in them and for our neighborhoods,\" Wiener added in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His remarks provoked outrage from one of the city's leading homeless advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My chin dropped,\" said Jennifer Friedenbach, the executive director of the Coalition on Homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"xV8J32tslxHUmn5TxTbqPm5e9UppY3gz\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I thought it was in particular bad taste given how much people are suffering,\" Friedenbach said. \"He's talking about ripping those tents from people who have no other choice but to sleep on the street.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tents give the homeless cover from the rain, Friedenbach said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Taking away people's tents right now in the middle of these storms, that's about as mean-spirited as you can get,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among other requests, Wiener is asking city agencies for an estimate of how many tents are on the streets and the number of people living in them. While tents have appeared on city streets for decades, city officials say the number has grown in recent years and the onset of this winter's rains has expanded their presence even more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Mission alone, tent encampments have grown along parts of Division, Cesar Chavez, Vermont, 13th and 16th streets, as well as San Bruno Avenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has increased the visibility of San Francisco's homeless but does not necessarily mean a large increase in the population of people living on the streets. There were 6,686 homeless people in San Francisco at the beginning of 2015, according to \u003ca href=\"http://sfgov.org/lhcb/sites/sfgov.org.lhcb/files/2015%20San%20Francisco%20Homeless%20Count%20%20Report_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">last year's count\u003c/a>. That's up 250 from two years earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sam Dodge, who as director of Mayor Ed Lee's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfmayor.org/index.aspx?page=907\" target=\"_blank\">Office of Housing Opportunity, Partnerships and Engagement\u003c/a> is the city's point man on homeless issues, says his counterparts in Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle have noticed similar growth in tent encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener says he's not talking about bulldozing the tents.

The shelters, which become available as needed when heavy rain is predicted, are concentrated in the Mission, SOMA, Bayview, Tenderloin and Haight neighborhoods. Rhorer says the extra shelters have the capacity to house 1,300 people. The additional beds are open for 24 hours during the storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Rhorer, the shelters have nothing to do with the upcoming Super Bowl festivities expected to begin next week in San Francisco.

At night the organization converts its dining room into a shelter, offering up to 60 mattresses on rainy nights. It plans to keep its winter shelter open until March 31.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every night we’re just about full,” says St. Anthony’s Executive Director Barry Stenger. “At this point now, we’re turning people away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to a warm and dry bed, St. Anthony’s will be offering dinner, breakfast, clothing and hygiene kits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although St. Anthony’s is filling up nightly, many of the pop-up shelters have empty beds. Jennifer Friedenbach, director of the Coalition on Homelessness, says this is because the city needs to do a better job of notifying the homeless about the shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even with these efforts it’s really hard to get the word out,” says Friedenbach. “That’s going to continue to be the problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says making a concerted effort to update the city’s 311 service can help as far as letting homeless people know where to go during rainstorms. But overall Friedenbach says the city is making progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With more rain forecast in the weeks ahead, HSA has more plans to help get the homeless off the street. Rhorer says a 150-bed tent shelter at Pier 80 is currently under construction. The new winter shelter is expected to open in the next two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\n",

More than 90 percent of the Proposition 63 money raised each year would continue to go to existing programs, supporters said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Senate leader Darrell Steinberg, who authored the ballot measure, said the money would mostly fund multifamily complexes to house lower-income workers as well as those currently on the streets.

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco’s Navigation Center is a new kind of homeless shelter, attempting to help people living on the streets find homes, and Mayor Ed Lee believes it could help solve one of San Francisco’s longest and most intractable problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center differs from traditional shelters in that it allows active drug users and places no rules on when people can come and go. It also aims to help clients navigate the city’s bureaucracy to get benefits. At the same time, San Francisco’s top official tasked with reducing homelessness actively works to find the center’s clients permanent new homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And apparently officials from at least 33 other cities think it might serve as a model that could help them get people off the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has not only hosted tours of officials throughout the Bay Area, Southern California and at least 12 other states, but representatives of cities as far away as Capetown in South Africa and Kyoto in Japan. The Obama administration has also shown interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Julie Leadbetter, the Navigation Center’s director, said homeless encampments are popping up in communities across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had a lot of visitors,” she said. “Everyone is interested in how to get people off the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those visits from out-of-town officials could soon increase, thanks to even more national exposure. In the U.S. Conference of Mayors yearly \u003ca href=\"http://www.usmayors.org/pressreleases/uploads/2015/1221-report-hhreport.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Hunger and Homeless Survey\u003c/a> released last week, the Navigation Center was praised for helping homeless people get government benefits and find housing, and for assisting clients without placing rules on when they can come and go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From late March to early October, the center served 211 people. Just over half have been placed in permanent homes. According to the U.S. Conference of Mayors report, 38 left without getting permanent housing and 64 are in the process of looking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The facility’s mission is to help homeless people overcome systemic problems that have prevented them from finding homes. Visiting officials continually ask what San Francisco is doing to create new housing for its clients, especially in a city that’s in the midst of an affordability crisis that’s priced out many low- and middle-income residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco added more than 500 units of supportive housing in 2015 in four new buildings, according to Sam Dodge, the new director of the mayor’s office of Housing Opportunity, Partnerships & Engagement. “They are all for people exiting homelessness, including from the Navigation Center,” he said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, last week the city learned that the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development approved an application to build more structures to house 200 more units next year, Dodge said. He hopes to bring online another building that’s been largely empty for the last few years, which would accommodate an additional 100 units in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, several city agencies are trying to find new single-room-occupancy units that can be used to house homeless people, said Leadbetter\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officials who have visited from outside San Francisco have expressed concern over finding the money to build and run their own, similar centers. (San Francisco’s first facility in the Mission received a $3 million donation.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of city officials from Oakland, where the City Council recently declared a homeless shelter emergency, visited the Navigation Center in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are learning from it a great deal in terms of what we will establish as a similar model,” said Claudia Cappio, Oakland’s assistant city administrator, in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cappio points out that in Oakland, when the city moves out unsanctioned encampments, homeless people living in them lose their possessions. In a model Oakland could use, the city would have housing units not only with beds and bathrooms, but for storage as well. If homeless people are allowed to keep their things, they feel free to look for other services, Cappio said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Shelter is important and is a really big deal to stabilize people to make them feel safe, but unless those wraparound services are concurrently provided, we’re not doing our job,” Cappio said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The visits to the Navigation Center have affected the homeless people who currently live there, Leadbetter said. “They know they’re a part of something that’s new and exciting and different, and I think it’s very healthy for them to see that they’re a part of something that’s working,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, San Francisco itself is considering expanding the number of Navigation Centers throughout the city. In early December Supervisor \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/01/as-s-f-s-homeless-crisis-grows-one-supervisor-wants-to-expand-new-approach-to-housing\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Farrell called for a hearing\u003c/a> to look into ways of building more of the facilities.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It also aims to help clients navigate the city’s bureaucracy to get benefits. At the same time, San Francisco’s top official tasked with reducing homelessness actively works to find the center’s clients permanent new homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And apparently officials from at least 33 other cities think it might serve as a model that could help them get people off the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has not only hosted tours of officials throughout the Bay Area, Southern California and at least 12 other states, but representatives of cities as far away as Capetown in South Africa and Kyoto in Japan.

In the U.S. Conference of Mayors yearly \u003ca href=\"http://www.usmayors.org/pressreleases/uploads/2015/1221-report-hhreport.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Hunger and Homeless Survey\u003c/a> released last week, the Navigation Center was praised for helping homeless people get government benefits and find housing, and for assisting clients without placing rules on when they can come and go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From late March to early October, the center served 211 people. Just over half have been placed in permanent homes. According to the U.S. Conference of Mayors report, 38 left without getting permanent housing and 64 are in the process of looking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The facility’s mission is to help homeless people overcome systemic problems that have prevented them from finding homes. Visiting officials continually ask what San Francisco is doing to create new housing for its clients, especially in a city that’s in the midst of an affordability crisis that’s priced out many low- and middle-income residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco added more than 500 units of supportive housing in 2015 in four new buildings, according to Sam Dodge, the new director of the mayor’s office of Housing Opportunity, Partnerships & Engagement. “They are all for people exiting homelessness, including from the Navigation Center,” he said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, last week the city learned that the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development approved an application to build more structures to house 200 more units next year, Dodge said. He hopes to bring online another building that’s been largely empty for the last few years, which would accommodate an additional 100 units in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, several city agencies are trying to find new single-room-occupancy units that can be used to house homeless people, said Leadbetter\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officials who have visited from outside San Francisco have expressed concern over finding the money to build and run their own, similar centers. (San Francisco’s first facility in the Mission received a $3 million donation.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of city officials from Oakland, where the City Council recently declared a homeless shelter emergency, visited the Navigation Center in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are learning from it a great deal in terms of what we will establish as a similar model,” said Claudia Cappio, Oakland’s assistant city administrator, in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cappio points out that in Oakland, when the city moves out unsanctioned encampments, homeless people living in them lose their possessions. In a model Oakland could use, the city would have housing units not only with beds and bathrooms, but for storage as well. If homeless people are allowed to keep their things, they feel free to look for other services, Cappio said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Shelter is important and is a really big deal to stabilize people to make them feel safe, but unless those wraparound services are concurrently provided, we’re not doing our job,” Cappio said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The visits to the Navigation Center have affected the homeless people who currently live there, Leadbetter said. “They know they’re a part of something that’s new and exciting and different, and I think it’s very healthy for them to see that they’re a part of something that’s working,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, San Francisco itself is considering expanding the number of Navigation Centers throughout the city. In early December Supervisor \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/01/as-s-f-s-homeless-crisis-grows-one-supervisor-wants-to-expand-new-approach-to-housing\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Farrell called for a hearing\u003c/a> to look into ways of building more of the facilities.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Freeze warnings have been issued for parts of the Bay Area, prompting counties to open cold-weather shelters to the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mtr/\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service\u003c/a> has issued a freeze warning for much of the inland Bay Area from Friday at 11 p.m. to Saturday at 9 a.m. A frost advisory has also been issued for the same period for coastal areas and along the San Francisco Bay shoreline. Temperatures in those areas are expected to range from 32 to 35 degrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the forecast, Santa Clara County is opening a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/opa/nr/Pages/South-County-Cold-Weather-Shelter-Opens-Early-in-Advance-of-Cold-Temperatures-Expected-this-Week.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">cold weather shelter\u003c/a> in Gilroy starting Friday night, and officials are working with local shelters to add up to 200 additional beds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelters in San Jose and East Palo Alto have also opened their doors before the usual Nov. 30 opening date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is all organized ahead of time,” said Bob Dolci, housing and homeless concerns coordinator with the Santa Clara County Office of Supportive Housing. In addition to additional shelter beds, he said, spaces designated as “warming centers” are also opening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have different libraries, and community centers and senior centers and sports centers and places like that all throughout the county that open their doors to anybody who wants to come in out of the cold during the day,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dolci noted that in general it’s been especially difficult lately to connect homeless individuals with permanent supportive housing due to rising costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even with the most amount of rental subsidies that we have available now -- ever -- in my years of doing this, it is so hard to find housing because it’s so expensive,” Dolci said. “We have a 1 percent vacancy rate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dolci said his agency is in need of more case managers who can work with individuals to help them get off the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case managers “help the person deal with issues that are related to getting them into, and staying in, housing,” he said. “If they're not connected to mental health services, to get them connected to those. If they need some recovery assistance, help get them connected to a recovery program. Or if they need to get connected to government benefits, to help them do that. Or if they need a rental assistance or deposit assistance, they help them go through those processes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sept. 15, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved $17.4 million in funding for homeless services. It will go toward hiring case managers, bolstering assistance to individuals threatened with homelessness and aiding five shelters that are struggling to raise money to help them operate at full capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cold temperatures tonight and Saturday may only be the start of a winter season marked by a higher number of frigid, wet winter storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco city government is also planning for a significant shelter bed expansion in advance of the anticipated El Niño storms. The city's annual \u003ca href=\"http://sfmayor.org/index.aspx?recordid=999&page=846\" target=\"_blank\">emergency winter shelter program\u003c/a> began Nov. 22 and is scheduled to operate through Feb. 27.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The St. Anthony Foundation, which provides a free lunch service to people in need in the Tenderloin, is one space that could open up to serve as a temporary shelter in the event of an extreme weather event, said spokeswoman Jessie Brierley. \"The official plan is to open our services on a pop-up basis,\" she said. \"We should be able to start responding by the first week of December.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brierley said that during a Thanksgiving meal at St. Anthony's dining hall on Thursday, she noticed a guest lingering there longer than usual. \"He said, 'I just don't want to go outside,' \" she noted, adding that it was a reminder that many people have nowhere to go when a winter chill sets in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, \"we're definitely lacking shelter space,\" Brierley said, \"compared to the number of homeless people there are.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>East Bay cities are also opening winter shelters ahead of the forecast cold snap that could last through next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland opened a winter shelter Nov. 16, with 50 additional beds available until mid-April. The shelter generally requires a referral voucher from one of several agencies that work with homeless people. However, the shelter -- at St. Vincent de Paul at 675 23rd St. in Oakland -- does take walk-ins if it doesn’t fill up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People seeking a bed who are unable to obtain a voucher should call 510-385-7757 after 7 p.m. to check availability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post contains reporting from the Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Temperatures in those areas are expected to range from 32 to 35 degrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the forecast, Santa Clara County is opening a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/opa/nr/Pages/South-County-Cold-Weather-Shelter-Opens-Early-in-Advance-of-Cold-Temperatures-Expected-this-Week.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">cold weather shelter\u003c/a> in Gilroy starting Friday night, and officials are working with local shelters to add up to 200 additional beds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelters in San Jose and East Palo Alto have also opened their doors before the usual Nov. 30 opening date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is all organized ahead of time,” said Bob Dolci, housing and homeless concerns coordinator with the Santa Clara County Office of Supportive Housing.

If they need some recovery assistance, help get them connected to a recovery program. Or if they need to get connected to government benefits, to help them do that. Or if they need a rental assistance or deposit assistance, they help them go through those processes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sept. 15, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved $17.4 million in funding for homeless services. It will go toward hiring case managers, bolstering assistance to individuals threatened with homelessness and aiding five shelters that are struggling to raise money to help them operate at full capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cold temperatures tonight and Saturday may only be the start of a winter season marked by a higher number of frigid, wet winter storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco city government is also planning for a significant shelter bed expansion in advance of the anticipated El Niño storms. The city's annual \u003ca href=\"http://sfmayor.org/index.aspx?recordid=999&page=846\" target=\"_blank\">emergency winter shelter program\u003c/a> began Nov. 22 and is scheduled to operate through Feb. 27.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The St. Anthony Foundation, which provides a free lunch service to people in need in the Tenderloin, is one space that could open up to serve as a temporary shelter in the event of an extreme weather event, said spokeswoman Jessie Brierley. \"The official plan is to open our services on a pop-up basis,\" she said. \"We should be able to start responding by the first week of December.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brierley said that during a Thanksgiving meal at St. Anthony's dining hall on Thursday, she noticed a guest lingering there longer than usual. \"He said, 'I just don't want to go outside,' \" she noted, adding that it was a reminder that many people have nowhere to go when a winter chill sets in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, \"we're definitely lacking shelter space,\" Brierley said, \"compared to the number of homeless people there are.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>East Bay cities are also opening winter shelters ahead of the forecast cold snap that could last through next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland opened a winter shelter Nov. 16, with 50 additional beds available until mid-April. The shelter generally requires a referral voucher from one of several agencies that work with homeless people. However, the shelter -- at St. Vincent de Paul at 675 23rd St. in Oakland -- does take walk-ins if it doesn’t fill up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People seeking a bed who are unable to obtain a voucher should call 510-385-7757 after 7 p.m. to check availability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post contains reporting from the Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
