He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations. The effort produced well over 100 original stories and changed the course of multiple criminal cases.\r\n\r\nHis work has been recognized with numerous journalism awards, including a national Edward R. Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods.

The National Weather Service has issued \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?wfo=mtr&sid=MTR&pil=NPW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">freeze watches\u003c/a> that cover all nine Bay Area counties as well as the entire Central Valley and the coast to the north and south. The upshot: Forecasters say some locations in the Bay Area could see \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?wfo=mtr&pil=PNS&sid=MTR&version=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">record low temperatures \u003c/a>this week.

Livermore, which had a high of 73 on Sunday, will see highs in the mid-40s later this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social service agencies throughout the region are getting ready to offer shelter to thousands of Bay Area homeless.

That way, instead of standing on the street expecting a handout, they can hand out business cards with their information and a link to their page. Donors can also text $5 donations with their smartphones. The money is converted into points that the HandUp member can use to get their needs met. They cannot cash out the donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We let them know (by mobile phone) that they have a donation, and they can go in to Project Homeless Connect to redeem their donation for food, clothes, medical care, housing, other basic needs,” Broome says. “We help empower them to use these points for what they need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HandUp came about, as many innovations do, in one of those ‘Why, in a wealthy society like ours, can’t I just pull out my phone and ____?’ moments. Broome says for her it was the sight of a homeless woman sleeping on the Church Street sidewalk during a particularly cold night last winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wondered, ‘Why can’t I pull my phone out right now and do something to help this woman, to make a donation for her, to get her a bed to stay in tonight?’ And so I started brainstorming that with my friend Zac (Witte), and he totally surprised me by saying, “Rose, if you help get this set up, I will build it for you.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area’s wealth gap is wide, and growing ever wider, so HandUp is just a part of the possible solution for helping needy people get back on their feet. Broome says nonprofits in other cities are inquiring about HandUp, hoping that the model can be replicated there as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe they’ll even have success stories like Marvin, the man who made it off the streets after 15 years. Marvin was among the men that San Francisco police ordered off of Market Street, away from a longstanding \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/21/chess-san-francisco-downtown-relocate\">hangout for chess games\u003c/a> that had apparently become a haven for drug dealing and other crime. Lowell High School, his alma mater, was organizing a class reunion when an alumnus heard about his plight. They created a HandUp page, and overnight he got the donations he needed to get transitional housing and case management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s incredible,” Broome says. “I know that there are so many people out there who want to help, who have resources, who care.

For most of us, leaving the house for work or school without cleaning up would be pretty much unthinkable. That simple notion — the quiet dignity of feeling clean — is behind a new effort to help the homeless in San Francisco.

I met Lava Mae’s founder, Doniece Sandoval, inside an old Muni bus like the ones that will soon deliver dignity, one shower at a time. Sandoval is about a third of the way to her fundraising goal of $75,000 through the crowdfunding site Indiegogo.

For most of us, leaving the house for work or school without cleaning up would be pretty much unthinkable. That simple notion — the quiet dignity of feeling clean — is behind a new effort to help the homeless in San Francisco. It’s called \u003ca href=\"http://www.lavamae.org\">Lava Mae\u003c/a>, a play on the Spanish word for “wash me”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea is to convert donated city buses into portable bathrooms, with showers, toilets and changing areas. I met Lava Mae’s founder, Doniece Sandoval, inside an old Muni bus like the ones that will soon deliver dignity, one shower at a time. Sandoval is about a third of the way to her fundraising goal of $75,000 through the crowdfunding site Indiegogo. The Lava Mae \u003ca href=\"http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/lava-mae-mobile-showers-for-the-homeless\">campaign \u003c/a>has less than a month to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s part of my conversation with Doniece Sandoval:\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=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/109942832″&visual=true&””'\n title='”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/109942832″'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You’re out there looking for a place to live and suddenly they rescind your voucher,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barbara Poppe, executive director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, agreed that the cuts could worsen the national housing shortage. \"These sequester cuts threaten to stop our progress and threaten to send us backwards,\" she said. \"As many as 100,000 families could lose access to shelters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report gives detailed numbers for states, cities and counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the most striking statistics:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>To rent a one-bedroom apartment in the Silicon Valley, three people would have to work full time earning the state minimum wage ($8 per hour). (On Monday, the City of San Jose raised the minimum wage from $9 to $10 per hour.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In the Oakland-Fremont area, you would need 2.1 people working full time at $8 an hour to afford a studio apartment.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Even in Merced, a California community with a much less expensive reputation than the Bay Area, you would still need 1.2 people working full time at $8 an hour to afford a studio apartment.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The agency made its calculations based on the fair market rate for rental units provided by the Housing and Urban Development department and an estimate that you can spend 30 percent of your income before sacrificing other necessities such as food and healthcare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to keep roofs over their heads, very low income people are both sacrificing other necessities and cramming more people into the housing units they occupy, said Bolton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coalition didn't just identify the problem, it also proposed solutions. Most notably, it would \"modify\" the mortgage interest tax deduction in such a way that money could be saved to subsidize housing for people with very low incomes.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
