"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. 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.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

In this case, it’s overnight for vehicles not on the waiting list for safe parking. \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>According to this year’s San Mateo County one-day homeless count and survey, of the 1,512 people experiencing homelessness on Jan. 30, 901 were found living on streets, in cars and in RVs, as opposed to in emergency shelters and transitional housing programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Project We Hope’s safe parking program is taking in people fleeing much wealthier cities nearby, like Menlo Park and Mountain View. Take Judith Ortiz, who lived in Mountain View for 18 years before her landlord doubled the rent. “I was paying $1,300 for two bedrooms, and it was going to be $2,200 after remodel,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortiz plowed into her savings, bought an old RV, fixed it up and then started looking for places to park. She had a cousin in East Palo Alto, but upon arrival, came up against a neighbor who didn’t want her parked outside his house. “She called the cop the first night that I arrived with the RV. I just got here. I just got here, like 20 minutes ago!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many cities that run safe parking programs in California, East Palo Alto doesn’t currently provide parking during the day—only from 7:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. That means Ortiz has to park her RV on city streets during the day. But she said the exhausting and expensive hassle is worth it, in exchange for the help getting housing. “Every sacrifice comes with something good in the future, so that’s what we hope,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Ortiz, that something good is the stability of a regular apartment for her and for her sister and two-year-old nephew, both of whom Ortiz is also supporting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are safe parking lot programs in San Jose, Oakland, San Diego, L.A. and, the granddaddy of them all, Santa Barbara, the first to set up safe parking in 2004. That program has provided the model others have copied, typically run by local nonprofit groups and faith-based partners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many cities are in the process of developing similar programs, all eyes are on Sacramento to see if that proposed safe parking mandate gets to the Governor’s desk and requires it of all cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unusual for a small city like East Palo Alto to commit to being part of the solution to the housing crisis. But, Garcia said, “It’s going to take local solutions. It’s going to take county solutions, regional solutions. Because it’s a big problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

In this case, it’s overnight for vehicles not on the waiting list for safe parking. \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>According to this year’s San Mateo County one-day homeless count and survey, of the 1,512 people experiencing homelessness on Jan. 30, 901 were found living on streets, in cars and in RVs, as opposed to in emergency shelters and transitional housing programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Project We Hope’s safe parking program is taking in people fleeing much wealthier cities nearby, like Menlo Park and Mountain View. Take Judith Ortiz, who lived in Mountain View for 18 years before her landlord doubled the rent. “I was paying $1,300 for two bedrooms, and it was going to be $2,200 after remodel,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortiz plowed into her savings, bought an old RV, fixed it up and then started looking for places to park. She had a cousin in East Palo Alto, but upon arrival, came up against a neighbor who didn’t want her parked outside his house. “She called the cop the first night that I arrived with the RV. I just got here. I just got here, like 20 minutes ago!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many cities that run safe parking programs in California, East Palo Alto doesn’t currently provide parking during the day—only from 7:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. That means Ortiz has to park her RV on city streets during the day. But she said the exhausting and expensive hassle is worth it, in exchange for the help getting housing. “Every sacrifice comes with something good in the future, so that’s what we hope,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Ortiz, that something good is the stability of a regular apartment for her and for her sister and two-year-old nephew, both of whom Ortiz is also supporting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are safe parking lot programs in San Jose, Oakland, San Diego, L.A. and, the granddaddy of them all, Santa Barbara, the first to set up safe parking in 2004. That program has provided the model others have copied, typically run by local nonprofit groups and faith-based partners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many cities are in the process of developing similar programs, all eyes are on Sacramento to see if that proposed safe parking mandate gets to the Governor’s desk and requires it of all cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unusual for a small city like East Palo Alto to commit to being part of the solution to the housing crisis. But, Garcia said, “It’s going to take local solutions. It’s going to take county solutions, regional solutions. Because it’s a big problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That entails rezoning some its ample land holdings from office or commercial space to residential use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company said it will also create a $250 million fund to provide developers with incentives to build 5,000 affordable housing units throughout the region, and dole out $50 million in grants to help address homelessness and displacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Across the region, one issue stands out as particularly urgent and complex: housing,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in \u003ca href=\"https://blog.google/inside-google/company-announcements/1-billion-investment-bay-area-housing/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a blog post announcing the plan\u003c/a>. “The lack of new supply, combined with the rising cost of living, has resulted in a severe shortage of affordable housing options for long-time middle and low-income residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While saying that Google had already invested in “developing housing that meets the needs of these communities,” Pichai acknowledged, “there’s more to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Sundar Pichai, Google CEO']‘As Google grows throughout the Bay Area … we’ve invested in developing housing that meets the needs of these communities. But there’s more to do.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some local leaders said the proposal was a sign of Google’s commitment to supporting a region it has so deeply influenced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the antidote to Amazon,” said San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, referring to the blowback the Seattle tech giant experienced when it conducted a search last year for its new headquarters, hoping to find a city willing to offer major concessions in exchange for hosting it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google, Liccardo said, is going in the other direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a company saying, ‘We get it.

That entails rezoning some its ample land holdings from office or commercial space to residential use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company said it will also create a $250 million fund to provide developers with incentives to build 5,000 affordable housing units throughout the region, and dole out $50 million in grants to help address homelessness and displacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Across the region, one issue stands out as particularly urgent and complex: housing,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in \u003ca href=\"https://blog.google/inside-google/company-announcements/1-billion-investment-bay-area-housing/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a blog post announcing the plan\u003c/a>. “The lack of new supply, combined with the rising cost of living, has resulted in a severe shortage of affordable housing options for long-time middle and low-income residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While saying that Google had already invested in “developing housing that meets the needs of these communities,” Pichai acknowledged, “there’s more to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Perhaps they could speed things up if they agreed to include affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was somewhat unconventional, but the church was hearing city leaders talk more and more about the need for affordable housing and felt they could help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=' Tom Theisen, helping to put together the YIGBY initiative']‘I cannot tell you how many faith communities have come to me and said, ‘What can we do to address homelessness?”[/pullquote]\u003c/span>The redeveloped fellowship hall is now nearing final approval, but the housing is still in the idea phase. Yet church leaders and a small group of advocates are persevering in hopes that the housing can serve as a proof of concept project to be replicated by other faith communities across the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are branding their initiative “Yes in God’s Backyard,” or YIGBY — a play on the YIMBY, or “yes in my backyard,” movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Houses of worship are in a good position to help alleviate the affordable housing shortage, said Jon Doolittle, senior pastor at Clairemont Lutheran Church.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have the property, they have the ability to provide the space and the place for these kinds of structures to be built,” he said. “Jesus told us to clothe the naked, to provide shelter for the homeless.

The church envisions putting between 16 and 21 apartments on top of its parking lot, which typically sits mostly empty except for a few hours on Sundays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But city code includes a formula dictating how many parking spaces a church needs based on square inches of pew space. City officials told Doolittle even without the loss of parking created by the new homes, the church had a parking deficit and would have to conduct a study to quantify its parking use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a month, congregants counted all the vacant parking spaces in the church lot and the surrounding neighborhood four times a day. Doolittle said their study determined they had a parking surplus but that city officials still were not satisfied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been one frustrating meeting after another,” Doolittle said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few months ago, Clairemont Lutheran Church got help from Tom Theisen and Monica Ball, two housing advocates who had already been putting together a YIGBY initiative. Theisen is a retired attorney and former chair of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.rtfhsd.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Regional Task Force on the Homeless San Diego\u003c/a>, and Ball is a real estate agent and board member of \u003ca href=\"https://www.upliftsandiego.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UPLIFT San Diego\u003c/a>, a faith-based nonprofit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11752823\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11752823\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/06062019_Clairemont-Lutheran-Church-San-Diego-YIGBY-affordable-housing-pastor.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/06062019_Clairemont-Lutheran-Church-San-Diego-YIGBY-affordable-housing-pastor.jpg 600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/06062019_Clairemont-Lutheran-Church-San-Diego-YIGBY-affordable-housing-pastor-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/06062019_Clairemont-Lutheran-Church-San-Diego-YIGBY-affordable-housing-pastor-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pastor Jon Doolittle stands in the sanctuary of Clairemont Lutheran Church in San Diego on May 28, 2019. \u003ccite>(Andrew Bowen/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Theisen said the genesis for YIGBY came from San Diego County Tax Collector Dan McAllister, who had compiled a list of more than 1,100 properties zoned for religious use. Together, they represent more than 2,000 acres of land across the county, much of it also zoned for housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I cannot tell you how many faith communities have come to me and said, ‘What can we do to address homelessness?’ ” said Theisen. “And I have a real hard time telling them to go out, hand out blankets or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or that type of stuff. They’re looking for a way to be relevant and to do something that really makes a difference, and building housing really makes a difference.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Jon Doolittle, senior pastor, Clairemont Lutheran Church']‘Jesus told us to clothe the naked, to provide shelter for the homeless.

And they are exploring private financing models to avoid the difficult and lengthy process of applying for government tax credits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faith communities could be the perfect test drivers of less conventional construction models that traditional affordable housing developers have been wary of, Ball said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Should construction delays occur for whatever reason, that could potentially compromise their entire finance structure for the project,” she said. “So that’s too big a risk for the traditional affordable housing developers really to take.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, Ball and Theisen presented their YIGBY proposal to the Community Planners Committee, which represents San Diego’s neighborhood planning groups. Wally Wulfeck, of the committee, said the presentation was well received and members were interested in the initiative’s progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then last week, Ball and Theisen met with San Diego city staffers to discuss how the city can speed up approval of housing on religious properties. Planning Department director Mike Hansen said in an email that the city welcomes the support of faith leaders in addressing the housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[aside tag='affordable-housing' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/span>“This is a promising concept and the city is in discussions with the YIGBY team as well as other affordable housing stakeholders about how the city can make the process easier, faster and less expensive,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doolittle hesitated to predict when the housing might be complete, given the number of roadblocks the church has already hit. But he said he is not expecting serious resistance from neighbors, in part because of the small scale of their housing plans and the church’s decades-long relationship with the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s our calling, it’s our responsibility to be neighbors to those who are around us and to be neighborly to those who need a hand up,” Doolittle said. “As God always says yes to God’s people, we too need to say yes to those who are in need.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The church envisions putting between 16 and 21 apartments on top of its parking lot, which typically sits mostly empty except for a few hours on Sundays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But city code includes a formula dictating how many parking spaces a church needs based on square inches of pew space.

The study found that current residents of those neighborhoods are more than twice as likely as their peers to visit emergency rooms for asthma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What it suggests is that real estate policy that was enacted over 80 years ago, enforced in part on the basis of race, both shaped our neighborhoods and may still be impacting respiratory health outcomes today,” said Anthony Nardone, a medical student in the UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program, who led the analysis. “It’s the first study, to our knowledge, that actually assesses the relationship between historic residential redlining and current health outcomes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nardone used \u003ca href=\"https://dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/redlining/#loc=3/38.07/-97.29&opacity=0.8&text=about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">historic redlining maps\u003c/a> to identify census tracts in San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno, Los Angeles and San Diego that government officials had once identified as “high risk” (red) and “low risk” (green) neighborhoods in terms of loan security. He then compared current air quality and health outcome data from each of those tracts, using the \u003ca href=\"https://oehha.ca.gov/calenviroscreen/report/calenviroscreen-30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CalEnviroScreen 3.0\u003c/a> database, and found that current residents in the redlined communities — those considered “high risk” — visited the emergency room for asthma-related complaints 2.4 times more often than those in nearby “low risk” neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11749449\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11749449 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma-160x80.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma-800x400.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma-1020x510.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The map on the right shows census tracts in the cities of San Francisco and Oakland categorized according to their Home Owners’ Loan Corp. rating, with green indicating ‘best,’ blue indicating ‘still desirable,’ yellow indicating ‘definitely declining,’ and red indicating ‘hazardous.’ The map on the right shows the rate of asthma-related emergency room visits per 10,000 residents for those same census tracts. \u003ccite>(Anthony Nardone/UC Berkeley)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That asthma-health disparity is driven in part by excessive exposure to ambient air pollution, said Nardone, noting that historically redlined neighborhoods often have significantly higher levels of diesel particulate matter in the air. But that’s not the only factor at play, he added, citing generational poverty and elevated levels of “psychosocial stress” caused by everything from living in environments with higher crime rates to a lack of access to decent, affordable health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redlining started as official government policy during the Great Depression. The Home Owners’ Loan Corp. (HOLC), established by Congress in 1933 as part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, was intended to help stem the urban foreclosure crisis sweeping the country. The government-sponsored agency refinanced more than a million homes, issuing low-interest, long-term loans to scores of new homeowners across the nation and spurring a dramatic increase in home ownership in the following decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But only for some.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To identify neighborhoods deemed safe investments, HOLC gathered reams of local data to draw up “residential safety maps” in some 240 cities across the country.

The study found that current residents of those neighborhoods are more than twice as likely as their peers to visit emergency rooms for asthma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What it suggests is that real estate policy that was enacted over 80 years ago, enforced in part on the basis of race, both shaped our neighborhoods and may still be impacting respiratory health outcomes today,” said Anthony Nardone, a medical student in the UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program, who led the analysis. “It’s the first study, to our knowledge, that actually assesses the relationship between historic residential redlining and current health outcomes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nardone used \u003ca href=\"https://dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/redlining/#loc=3/38.07/-97.29&opacity=0.8&text=about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">historic redlining maps\u003c/a> to identify census tracts in San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno, Los Angeles and San Diego that government officials had once identified as “high risk” (red) and “low risk” (green) neighborhoods in terms of loan security. He then compared current air quality and health outcome data from each of those tracts, using the \u003ca href=\"https://oehha.ca.gov/calenviroscreen/report/calenviroscreen-30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CalEnviroScreen 3.0\u003c/a> database, and found that current residents in the redlined communities — those considered “high risk” — visited the emergency room for asthma-related complaints 2.4 times more often than those in nearby “low risk” neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11749449\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11749449 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma-160x80.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma-800x400.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/CensusTractGradesAndAsthma-1020x510.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The map on the right shows census tracts in the cities of San Francisco and Oakland categorized according to their Home Owners’ Loan Corp. rating, with green indicating ‘best,’ blue indicating ‘still desirable,’ yellow indicating ‘definitely declining,’ and red indicating ‘hazardous.’ The map on the right shows the rate of asthma-related emergency room visits per 10,000 residents for those same census tracts. \u003ccite>(Anthony Nardone/UC Berkeley)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That asthma-health disparity is driven in part by excessive exposure to ambient air pollution, said Nardone, noting that historically redlined neighborhoods often have significantly higher levels of diesel particulate matter in the air. But that’s not the only factor at play, he added, citing generational poverty and elevated levels of “psychosocial stress” caused by everything from living in environments with higher crime rates to a lack of access to decent, affordable health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redlining started as official government policy during the Great Depression. The Home Owners’ Loan Corp. (HOLC), established by Congress in 1933 as part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, was intended to help stem the urban foreclosure crisis sweeping the country. The government-sponsored agency refinanced more than a million homes, issuing low-interest, long-term loans to scores of new homeowners across the nation and spurring a dramatic increase in home ownership in the following decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But only for some.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To identify neighborhoods deemed safe investments, HOLC gathered reams of local data to draw up “residential safety maps” in some 240 cities across the country.

The survey found more than 9,700 homeless people countywide, the largest unhoused population in the Bay Area. Of those, nearly 6,200 were located in San Jose, an increase of more than 1,800 in that city in two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, which has spent more than $300 million annually on a broad range of homeless prevention services, \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/article/mayor-breed-announces-new-homelessness-prevention-funding-city-releases-initial-homelessness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the increase\u003c/a> was less dramatic, but striking nonetheless. The county reported a 17% uptick since its last single-night count, putting the homeless population at just over 8,000. That’s the highest it’s been since 2004, when then-Mayor Gavin Newsom launched an aggressive supportive housing effort to curb chronic homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/c02bd2e0-6021-47a9-80df-6027dfd629e3?src=embed\" title=\"Homeless Count\" width=\"700\" height=\"560\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a more hopeful note, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties both reported dips in their veteran and youth homeless populations, although the decrease in youth homelessness was due, in part, to a change in survey methodology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although an imperfect measure, point-in-time homeless counts are \u003ca href=\"https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/hdx/guides/pit-hic/#general-pit-guides-and-tools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mandated\u003c/a> every two years by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the results have strong influence on local spending and policy decisions.

The survey found more than 9,700 homeless people countywide, the largest unhoused population in the Bay Area. Of those, nearly 6,200 were located in San Jose, an increase of more than 1,800 in that city in two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, which has spent more than $300 million annually on a broad range of homeless prevention services, \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/article/mayor-breed-announces-new-homelessness-prevention-funding-city-releases-initial-homelessness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the increase\u003c/a> was less dramatic, but striking nonetheless. The county reported a 17% uptick since its last single-night count, putting the homeless population at just over 8,000.
