"content": "\u003cp>The past few years have been long and stressful for Dahbia Benakli.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of 2019, she got divorced. With no one to help take care of her two young daughters, she was forced to quit her job as a preschool teacher. Her father helped her buy a car so she could drive for Uber and DoorDash to make rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then the coronavirus pandemic hit, and ride-hailing work dried up. Together with unemployment insurance, Benakli was making just over $2,000 a month — almost half of which she was using to pay the rent for the one-bedroom Walnut Creek apartment she’s lived in for the last 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May 2021, as officials began easing COVID-19 restrictions, Benakli began planning a trip to visit her parents in Algeria, where she grew up. She hadn’t been back in five years, and she couldn’t wait to return, with her daughters in tow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s also when Benakli says the new landlord and owner of her building began harassing her and other tenants in an effort to push them out, even though she insists she had consistently paid her rent on time and had not in any way violated her lease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new owner — a local real estate investor named Steven Pinza, president of the Pinza Group — sent Benakli a letter, ordering her to move out by July 31, under the pretense of having to conduct major building repairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898712\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11898712\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A view of a kitchen and a living room, with a woman and her two daughters.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dahbia Benakli with her two daughters in their small one-bedroom apartment in Walnut Creek. \u003ccite>(Kori Suzuki/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“While we wish these repairs were not necessary or could be done without you moving out, it is not possible,” he wrote. “We have received multiple opinions, including from our insurance representatives, which state that these must be remediated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pinza sent these notices to tenants in 11 of the building’s 18 units. Many of those tenants, Benakli said, were people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pinza gave them the option to temporarily relocate for two months at their own expense “while renovations are made,” then pay an additional $600 per month when they returned — a proposition she could not afford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"housing\"]Upon receiving the letters, most of the tenants moved out. But, as the July 31 deadline approached, Benakli and two of her neighbors decided not to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said Pinza refused to accept her July rent payments, removed the tables and chairs in the courtyard, and informed her and her neighbors that anything left outside — like toys and bikes — would be thrown away. And a sudden barrage of loud construction work began just outside their doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My 7-year-old was like, ‘Mom, is he going to kick us to the street? Mom, what’s going to happen?’” said Benakli. “It’s horrible for her to hear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pinza did not respond to requests for comment, despite multiple attempts to reach him by phone and email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A growing number of California cities are moving to deter property owners from harassing their renters. Tenants’ advocates across the state say the frequency of reports of owner harassment has spiked during the pandemic — particularly after the enactment of federal and local eviction moratoriums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, for instance, Centro Legal de la Raza, a nonprofit immigrant and tenants’ rights group, reported a 70% jump in owner harassment complaints between March 2020 and June 2021. And the Concord-based nonprofit Monument Impact said the number of calls it received from renters roughly tripled during that same period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898079\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-4-scaled-e1638575283263.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11898079 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-4-scaled-e1638575283263.jpg\" alt=\"The exterior of a gray apartment building.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Benakli keeps the window shades in her apartment closed most of the day in case the property owner walks by. \u003ccite>(Kori Suzuki/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In response, a spate of cities throughout California — including Oakland, Los Angeles and Richmond — recently have implemented stronger tenant anti-harassment laws. Richmond’s ordinance, for example, bans property owners from refusing lawful rent payments or using “coercion, fraud or intimidation” to push tenants out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without being able to lean on any similar ordinance in Walnut Creek, Benakli and her neighbors sought help from the local chapter of a tenants’ rights group called Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), and \u003ca href=\"https://patch.com/california/concord-ca/concord-tenants-locked-battle-property-manager-will-appeal-council\">held a small protest outside Pinza’s home in Walnut Creek\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ACCE Legal Director Leah Simon-Weisberg says Pinza has been on her group’s radar for some time, having a reputation for buying apartment buildings in the area and evicting tenants to remodel them and raise rents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He tends to just make money by pushing people out,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, a group of tenants in a Concord apartment building that Pinza managed appealed to city leaders for help, \u003ca href=\"https://patch.com/california/concord-ca/concord-tenants-locked-battle-property-manager-will-appeal-council\">alleging that he raised their rents by 30%, threatened some of the tenants and tried to evict them\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898077\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-2-scaled-e1638577421940.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11898077 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-2-scaled-e1638577421940.jpg\" alt=\"A women does the hair of the girl in a bathroom.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Benakli works on her daughter Leah’s hair in their bathroom. \u003ccite>(Kori Suzuki/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Benakli says she decided to stay in her apartment and face potential eviction proceedings in court because she and her kids didn’t have anywhere else to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fearing that Pinza would empty out her apartment if she left for any length of time, Benakli decided to cancel her trip to Algeria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was really afraid that if we go, he comes and leaves our stuff [on] the street,” she said. “He was so harassing, he was so rude.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following month she found out both of her parents had contracted COVID-19.

With no one to help take care of her two young daughters, she was forced to quit her job as a preschool teacher. Her father helped her buy a car so she could drive for Uber and DoorDash to make rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then the coronavirus pandemic hit, and ride-hailing work dried up. Together with unemployment insurance, Benakli was making just over $2,000 a month — almost half of which she was using to pay the rent for the one-bedroom Walnut Creek apartment she’s lived in for the last 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May 2021, as officials began easing COVID-19 restrictions, Benakli began planning a trip to visit her parents in Algeria, where she grew up. She hadn’t been back in five years, and she couldn’t wait to return, with her daughters in tow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s also when Benakli says the new landlord and owner of her building began harassing her and other tenants in an effort to push them out, even though she insists she had consistently paid her rent on time and had not in any way violated her lease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new owner — a local real estate investor named Steven Pinza, president of the Pinza Group — sent Benakli a letter, ordering her to move out by July 31, under the pretense of having to conduct major building repairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898712\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11898712\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A view of a kitchen and a living room, with a woman and her two daughters.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-3-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dahbia Benakli with her two daughters in their small one-bedroom apartment in Walnut Creek. \u003ccite>(Kori Suzuki/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“While we wish these repairs were not necessary or could be done without you moving out, it is not possible,” he wrote. “We have received multiple opinions, including from our insurance representatives, which state that these must be remediated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pinza sent these notices to tenants in 11 of the building’s 18 units. Many of those tenants, Benakli said, were people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pinza gave them the option to temporarily relocate for two months at their own expense “while renovations are made,” then pay an additional $600 per month when they returned — a proposition she could not afford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But, as the July 31 deadline approached, Benakli and two of her neighbors decided not to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said Pinza refused to accept her July rent payments, removed the tables and chairs in the courtyard, and informed her and her neighbors that anything left outside — like toys and bikes — would be thrown away. And a sudden barrage of loud construction work began just outside their doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My 7-year-old was like, ‘Mom, is he going to kick us to the street? Mom, what’s going to happen?’” said Benakli. “It’s horrible for her to hear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pinza did not respond to requests for comment, despite multiple attempts to reach him by phone and email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A growing number of California cities are moving to deter property owners from harassing their renters.

Richmond’s ordinance, for example, bans property owners from refusing lawful rent payments or using “coercion, fraud or intimidation” to push tenants out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without being able to lean on any similar ordinance in Walnut Creek, Benakli and her neighbors sought help from the local chapter of a tenants’ rights group called Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), and \u003ca href=\"https://patch.com/california/concord-ca/concord-tenants-locked-battle-property-manager-will-appeal-council\">held a small protest outside Pinza’s home in Walnut Creek\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ACCE Legal Director Leah Simon-Weisberg says Pinza has been on her group’s radar for some time, having a reputation for buying apartment buildings in the area and evicting tenants to remodel them and raise rents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He tends to just make money by pushing people out,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, a group of tenants in a Concord apartment building that Pinza managed appealed to city leaders for help, \u003ca href=\"https://patch.com/california/concord-ca/concord-tenants-locked-battle-property-manager-will-appeal-council\">alleging that he raised their rents by 30%, threatened some of the tenants and tried to evict them\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898077\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-2-scaled-e1638577421940.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11898077 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ksuzuki-harassment-2-scaled-e1638577421940.jpg\" alt=\"A women does the hair of the girl in a bathroom.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Benakli works on her daughter Leah’s hair in their bathroom. \u003ccite>(Kori Suzuki/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Benakli says she decided to stay in her apartment and face potential eviction proceedings in court because she and her kids didn’t have anywhere else to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fearing that Pinza would empty out her apartment if she left for any length of time, Benakli decided to cancel her trip to Algeria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was really afraid that if we go, he comes and leaves our stuff [on] the street,” she said. “He was so harassing, he was so rude.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following month she found out both of her parents had contracted COVID-19.

When the economy ground to a halt, it became very clear that many people who lost their jobs wouldn’t be able to pay rent, and would face eviction. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pandemic also sparked a national conversation about the connection between housing and health. Without a safe place to live, and the ability to shelter-in-place, many people would become more vulnerable to getting sick. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The response was unprecedented: the federal government announced an eviction moratorium. Many states like California and local governments here in the Bay Area went even further and passed stronger eviction protections.

That hefty stack of bills — among the hundreds that crossed his desk — touches nearly every policy area, including housing, health, education and wildfire mitigation. The measures stand to affect millions of California residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The many noteworthy ones in the pile include \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2021/10/05/governor-newsom-signs-legislation-to-strengthen-state-unemployment-insurance-delivery-system/\">legislation to boost identity theft protection\u003c/a> at the state Employment Development Department, which may have paid out \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/california-edd-unemployment-crisis-explained/\">up to $31 billion in fraudulent unemployment claims\u003c/a> since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. The governor also recently inked a bill adopting a universal \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11890023/california-adopts-vote-by-mail-system-for-all-future-elections\">vote-by-mail\u003c/a> ballot system for all future elections, as well as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11888891/bill-regulating-computer-driven-productivity-quotas-at-california-warehouses-lands-on-gov-newsoms-desk\">first-in-the-nation law aimed at protecting California workers in retail warehouses\u003c/a> like those run by Amazon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Newsom also has vetoed a number of bills, including one that would have, among other things, \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/AB-990-PDF.pdf\">established visitation as a civil right\u003c/a> to people who are incarcerated. Perhaps the biggest veto shocker so far this year has been \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2021/07/california-paid-family-leave/\">his recent rejection of a bill that sought to increase pay rates during paid family leave\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It includes about $2.7 billion to help create a universal pre-K program for 4-year-olds by 2025 and directs roughly $10 million to expand dual-immersion language programs. The package, a key part of Newsom’s long-touted California Comeback Plan, also includes $1.9 billion to help create college savings accounts of up to $1,500 for some students, as well as $170 million in ongoing funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Transferring to state universities and affordable student housing\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe following day, the governor also signed a \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/newsom-signs-bills-to-ease-college-transfer-and-improve-student-housing/662048\">$47.1 billion higher education package of bills\u003c/a>, including one making it easier for community college students to transfer to the California State University and University of California systems.

Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2020/gov-newsom-vetoes-requirement-for-ethnic-studies-course-in-high-school/640877\">unexpectedly vetoed an initial version\u003c/a> of the bill last year, saying the model curriculum needed to be more inclusive.

While current state law requires insurers to provide initial mental health appointments in 10 days, there is no clear regulation around follow-up appointments, resulting in what state Sen.

At Kaiser Permanente specifically, 87% of therapists said weekly appointments were not available to patients who needed them, according to a survey by the \u003ca href=\"https://nuhw.org/\">National Union of Healthcare Workers\u003c/a>, which represents Kaiser’s therapists and was the main sponsor of the bill.

From a political standpoint, that’s a pretty significant shift in the housing landscape,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The League of California Cities urged Newsom to veto these bills, calling them a “top-down mandate that disregards local voices and decision-making.” After the bill signing was announced, the league said it would “explore all options to ensure local governments have the necessary tools and resources to plan for the types of housing actually needed in their communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents calling themselves \u003ca href=\"https://www.communitiesforchoice.org/\">Californians for Community Planning\u003c/a> are already seeking to qualify a \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/21-0016%20%28Local%20Land%20Use%29.pdf\">proposed constitutional amendment for the November 2022 ballot\u003c/a> to reassert local control over zoning and land-use decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More sweeping bills to reduce local control over zoning and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2021/03/california-affordable-housing-bills/\">create more affordable housing failed in 2018, 2019 and 2020\u003c/a>.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What are the new laws?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB9\">Senate Bill 9\u003c/a> — introduced by Senate leader Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat, as the centerpiece of her affordable housing package — will allow most homeowners to build two homes or a duplex on a plot zoned for a single house and, in some cases, split their lot and build two additional homes, starting on Jan. 1. The total number of units on a single lot is limited to four.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11864513\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/pexels-karolina-grabowska-4386433-1536x960.jpg\"]“It shows the governor is walking the walk as it relates to this housing crisis,” said Kendra Noel Lewis, executive director of the Sacramento Housing Alliance, who has been campaigning to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article248544635.html\">allow duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes\u003c/a> throughout the city. “This takes a little pressure off at the local level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The list of criteria for eligible homes is pretty lengthy, and notably excludes those in environmentally sensitive areas and in historic districts, as well as those that are subject to deed restrictions or rent control, or that have been occupied by a tenant in the last three years. To split a lot, neither of the parcels can be smaller than 1,200 square feet, and the homeowner must sign an affidavit that they will remain in the house for the subsequent three years — designed as a guardrail against potential speculation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While a city could deny some projects, specifically those that pose a threat to health or safety, it would have to issue findings that meet a whole host of criteria, too, according to Moira O’Neill, a law professor at UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given current land and construction costs, the Terner Center estimates the new law could lead to about\u003ca href=\"https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/SB-9-Brief-July-2021-Final.pdf\"> 660,000 new housing units across the state over several years\u003c/a> — a sizable fraction of the 1.8 million to 3.5 million units that experts say California needs to meet its housing shortage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it would be up to eligible homeowners to decide to turn their houses into duplexes or fourplexes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And despite opponents’ warnings that the law will radically remake the traditional single-family neighborhoods the state is so famous for, the same study estimates less than 5% of the state’s 7.5 million single-family lots will be changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Ritu Raj Sharma, DAHLIN Group Architecture Planning\"]‘[SB 9] will give [older homeowners] an opportunity to stay in the same neighborhoods without having to move out, because previously, the option was you would cash out and move to a different neighborhood or a different state.’[/pullquote]Ritu Raj Sharma, a senior planner with Bay Area-based \u003ca href=\"https://www.dahlingroup.com/\">DAHLIN Group Architecture Planning\u003c/a>, predicts that mostly older homeowners will take advantage of the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will give them an opportunity to stay in the same neighborhoods without having to move out, because previously, the option was you would cash out and move to a different neighborhood or a different state,” Sharma said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the new law doesn’t cap the cost of the new units, leading vocal opponents to argue it will only exacerbate the state’s affordability crisis. The law’s supporters, however, argue that adding a unit affordable to a middle-class family opens up a less expensive unit for a family one step below them on the economic ladder. And \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2021/08/california-housing-crisis-zoning-bill/\">keeping it illegal to build housing in most areas of the state won’t necessarily block gentrification\u003c/a>, either.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A historic investment\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In signing the bill to address the California housing crisis, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/cagovernor/status/1439325049702391809?s=11\">Newsom also promoted the $10.3 billion for housing in his “California Comeback Plan,”\u003c/a> which he said would produce 40,000 housing units. That plan also \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homeless/2021/05/newsom-end-homelessness-pandemic-lessons/\">includes $12 billion to create more than 44,000 new housing units\u003c/a> and treatment beds for people experiencing homelessness.\u003cbr>\nhttps://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1438683084765888519\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also signed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB10\">SB 10\u003c/a>, authored by Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco, which allows a city to bypass environmental review to build as many as 10 units on a single-family parcel near a transit hub or urban infill developments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This new law likely will have a considerably smaller impact, Sharma predicts, because the onus to take advantage of it is on the very cities that usually oppose more dense development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It seems a little counterintuitive that we have this problem created by the same folks, and now we are asking them to make that change,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='housing]“Berkeley wants to zone for fourplexes in single-family neighborhoods, so they may use SB 10 to expedite that.

Officials say due to budget constraints, the city will continue incrementally shutting down hotels through the end of the program, slated for June 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 1,400 people are still staying in the remaining hotels, said Emily Cohen, a spokesperson for the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, adding that the program does not have the capacity to continue accepting new people off the street. Doing so would also slow down efforts to rehouse people already in the program, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are very full because we are moving very deliberately and intentionally to ensure that people are linked to permanent solutions,” Cohen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said almost 600 people have been placed in permanent housing since the program started. However, it’s unclear where many of the more than 1,500 people who have left hotels over the course of the program have gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"homelessness\"]Advocates for people experiencing homeless argue that the city can afford to keep the hotels open longer, pointing to the Biden administration’s recent commitment to reimburse cities for certain COVID-19-related expenses, including hotel rooms, through the end of 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cohen said San Francisco’s program is also reliant on the city’s general fund, which precludes keeping the hotels open past next June. The city, she added, is closing the hotels gradually to avoid “a humanitarian and logistical nightmare.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It takes significant city and nonprofit staffing to move people from the hotels into housing,” Cohen said. “It’s not a quick process. And so we really need to have the capacity and the workers to do this process. Any delays will just result in a tremendous crisis at the end of the program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition on Homelessness, said she understands why the city would want to phase out the program gradually, but that right now, “lives are on the line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have folks that are elders that are out there on the street still that have severe health conditions that would greatly benefit from being able to shelter in place inside a hotel,” she said. “They need the respite. It’s been a really transformative experience for the folks inside [the hotels]. The mortality rates have decreased significantly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dominique Griffin, who helped organize Tuesday’s protest, participated in a related shelter-in-place program after losing her job early on in the pandemic. She and her two children were able to stay for free for a year at the Oasis Inn near City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it wasn’t for that hotel, I’d be out on the streets in a tent as well, with my children,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Griffin and her family are moving into a subsidized two- bedroom apartment in the East Bay city of Pittsburg, an arrangement set up for her by a San Francisco housing case manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she wants other people in need to have the same steadying experience she was able to have over the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the funding is there, the need is always going to be there,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\n",
