As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

"content": "\u003cp>Southern California was pounded with rain overnight as the third and final storm in a series dumped more than 4 inches in some places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long Beach set a new rainfall record with 3.97 inches, with some neighborhoods receiving intense downpours of up to 3 inches per hour. The previous record for the city was 2.06 inches, set in 1967.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia told KPCC that conditions have improved this morning, but there is damage to assess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had trees fall on some cars, we had some trees fall into private property, and we have had some flooding in both public and private buildings. And so as far as the damage it will take us a couple of days to fully understand the extent,” Garcia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long Beach rescue crews had their hands full Sunday. Eight people were rescued from vehicles. The fire department rescued two male teens from a raft in the Los Angeles River channel. They were transported to a local hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were anticipating severe rain but not a record rainfall,” said Jake Heflin, spokesman for the Long Beach Fire Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ojai saw the most rain, topping 4 inches, according to the National Weather Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"//storify.com/kpcc/larain-slams-southern-california/embed?border=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"750\" frameborder=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sleet and hail contributed to a 15-car collision on the Grapevine just before 4:30 a.m. Monday morning, according to Officer Brian Moore of the CHP. The collision has since been cleared, with nine injured and five hospitalized with minor injuries. Now, snow is falling and sticking to the road, with CHP officers escorting drivers through the Grapevine and keeping them bunched together – doing so generates more heat and helps melt the snow on the road, Moore told KPCC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In L.A., emergency crews rescued 12 people and two pets from rain-swept flood control channels and riverbeds over the last 24 hours, according to L.A. Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey. Crews also responded to 172 weather-related incidents, including flooding, debris flow, fallen trees and transformer fires. No deaths, serious injuries or loss of structures have been reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The immediate storm impact began to subside Monday morning, but the period after a storm ends has historically been the deadliest time, as people head to flood channels to watch the water flow, Humphrey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A flash flood warning for much of Southern California was extended through 6 p.m. Monday. Isolated thunderstorms are possible, and rain was predicted to fall at rates of a half-inch to an inch per hour, continuing the threat of debris flows in recent burn areas, according to the weather service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rockslides forced the closure of two different roads in Malibu. Topanga Canyon Road was closed from Pacific Coast Highway to Grand View Drive, and Malibu Canyon Road from Francisco Ranch to Piuma Road, according to the California Highway Patrol’s incident log.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The southbound lanes of State Route 14 were closed at Escondido Canyon Road, with reports of a boulder the size of a vehicle in the roadway. Flooding was reported in the 2900 block of San Francisquito Canyon Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 710 and 110 freeways were open again as of early Monday.

In Los Angeles County, winter shelters for homeless people have made a couple of thousand extra beds available.

She tries to connect them to services and housing.

It will always be part of our identity, and my family and I have nothing but gratitude and appreciation for the support and passion our fans have shared with us over the years. But today, we turn the page and begin an exciting new era as the Los Angeles Chargers,\" Spanos said in the letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Chargers/status/819575906196824065\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chargers' decision to move comes less than three months after San Diego voters resoundingly rejected a team-sponsored measure asking for $1.15 billion in increased hotel occupancy taxes to help fund a $1.8 billion downtown stadium and convention center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They're leaving behind a loyal fan base that cheered for Dan Fouts, Charlie Joiner and Kellen Winslow during the Air Coryell years in the 1970s and early 1980s, and for Junior Seau, Stan Humphries and Natrone Means on the Chargers' only Super Bowl team in 1994.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For more than a decade, the San Diego Chargers have worked diligently toward finding a local stadium solution, which all sides agreed was required,\" NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement Thursday, pointing out that the Chargers delayed exercising the option to move to L.A. that was granted a year ago. \"The Chargers worked tirelessly this past year with local officials and community leaders on a ballot initiative that fell short on election day. That work -- and the years of effort that preceded it -- reflects our strongly held belief we always should do everything we can to keep a franchise in its community. That's why we have a deliberate and thoughtful process for making these decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Relocation is painful for teams and communities. It is especially painful for fans, and the fans in San Diego have given the Chargers strong and loyal support for more than 50 years, which makes it even more disappointing that we could not solve the stadium issue. As difficult as the news is for Charger fans, I know Dean Spanos and his family did everything they could to try to find a viable solution in San Diego.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11266521\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11266521\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-800x1054.jpg\" alt=\"A young fan of the San Diego Chargers holds a sign en route to the Charger's 37-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Qualcomm Stadium on January 1, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1054\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-800x1054.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-160x211.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-1020x1344.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-1180x1554.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-960x1265.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-240x316.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-375x494.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-520x685.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A young fan of the San Diego Chargers holds a sign en route to the Charger's 37-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Qualcomm Stadium on Jan. 1, 2017. \u003ccite>(Donald Miralle/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>San Diego would become a tenant in the stadium being built in Inglewood for the Rams.

That work -- and the years of effort that preceded it -- reflects our strongly held belief we always should do everything we can to keep a franchise in its community. That's why we have a deliberate and thoughtful process for making these decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Relocation is painful for teams and communities. It is especially painful for fans, and the fans in San Diego have given the Chargers strong and loyal support for more than 50 years, which makes it even more disappointing that we could not solve the stadium issue. As difficult as the news is for Charger fans, I know Dean Spanos and his family did everything they could to try to find a viable solution in San Diego.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11266521\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11266521\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-800x1054.jpg\" alt=\"A young fan of the San Diego Chargers holds a sign en route to the Charger's 37-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Qualcomm Stadium on January 1, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1054\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-800x1054.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-160x211.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-1020x1344.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-1180x1554.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-960x1265.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-240x316.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-375x494.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/ChargersFan-520x685.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A young fan of the San Diego Chargers holds a sign en route to the Charger's 37-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Qualcomm Stadium on Jan. 1, 2017. \u003ccite>(Donald Miralle/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>San Diego would become a tenant in the stadium being built in Inglewood for the Rams.

Faulconer recently met with Spanos, and helped cobble together a $375 million package from the city, county and San Diego State, which also plays football at Qualcomm Stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego was given the option to move to L.A. after NFL owners rejected a proposed shared stadium for the Chargers and the Oakland Raiders in Carson, and accepted the Rams' plans for Inglewood.

But he always had this optimism. It was always like “what’s over the next hill?” For that reason, and also to be close to him, we recorded him in Tucson, which has that open space, and has that distance, reverb and economy that you get out of the West and open space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’ve lived all over California: L.A., the Bay Area and even a stint in the Central Valley.

I wish that people did more hard work in the sun. I think they’d have a different point of view. The song is also about two different ways of getting something done, which is to wrench into place, and to grab it and kill it and make it happen. Or just thinking of something, manifesting and letting something happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So is there a moment where you say, hey, I want to write a song like this? I want to write a song about people working the land?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, there’s a moment where I see an image, and it sticks with me. But I don’t go about it as an assignment. It’s a little more mysterious. I just take stuff, and play with some chords. I’ve been trying to do things more intuitively, just let it come out when there’s a good moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11221917\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11221917\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23344_john_doe2-qut-800x1291.jpg\" alt=\"Musician John Doe (Photo: Jim Herrington)\" width=\"800\" height=\"1291\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23344_john_doe2-qut-800x1291.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23344_john_doe2-qut-160x258.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23344_john_doe2-qut-1020x1646.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23344_john_doe2-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23344_john_doe2-qut-1180x1905.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23344_john_doe2-qut-960x1550.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23344_john_doe2-qut-240x387.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23344_john_doe2-qut-375x605.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/RS23344_john_doe2-qut-520x839.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Musician John Doe (Photo: Jim Herrington)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’re also very well known for your 40-year legacy with X.

We’re playing “I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts” a lot lately. And “The New World” is still relevant. From the point of view of a hobo, a bum, who wanted to get into his bar at 6 a.m. It was closed, there was some election, some president. He doesn’t even know the president’s name, it’s just “what’s his name.” And then in the second verse, we start talking about the decline of Midwest manufacturing.

I’m going to work on another book, an actual memoir. [Working on “Under the Big Black Sun”] was a pretty good experience. We’re really fortunate that [on the audiobook] everybody read their own chapters. In 20 years, that’s going to be kind of a cool document, to hear those voices talking from the early ’80s.

But he always had this optimism. It was always like “what’s over the next hill?” For that reason, and also to be close to him, we recorded him in Tucson, which has that open space, and has that distance, reverb and economy that you get out of the West and open space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’ve lived all over California: L.A., the Bay Area and even a stint in the Central Valley.

I wish that people did more hard work in the sun. I think they’d have a different point of view. The song is also about two different ways of getting something done, which is to wrench into place, and to grab it and kill it and make it happen. Or just thinking of something, manifesting and letting something happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So is there a moment where you say, hey, I want to write a song like this?

We’re playing “I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts” a lot lately. And “The New World” is still relevant. From the point of view of a hobo, a bum, who wanted to get into his bar at 6 a.m. It was closed, there was some election, some president. He doesn’t even know the president’s name, it’s just “what’s his name.” And then in the second verse, we start talking about the decline of Midwest manufacturing.

Communicating through his campaign’s political director, he declined an interview with KPCC for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But during a recent debate with Caforio hosted by \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/thetalkofsantaclarita\">a local podcast called The Talk of Santa Clarita\u003c/a>, Knight talked about his stands on issues like gun control. He said he would not support a ban on assault rifles like the AR-15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will not go out and target a single weapon.

He’s also said Caforio has launched the most venomous campaign that the district has ever seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caforio moved to the district in November 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We moved here last year, you know, because this is where we’re going to live after the election regardless of what happens. But we are running, of course, because this is the area I want to represent,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of this race could hinge on Republican turnout and Trump's impact on down-ballot races like Knight's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump is polling lower among Republicans in California compared to his national numbers, said Bill Whalen, research fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution at Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The fewer Republicans that turn out to vote because they’re spooked away by Donald Trump, that’s fewer Republicans who can come out and vote for Congressman Knight,\" Whalen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Caforio win would be the first time the district will have turned blue since the early 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/cacounts/\">California Counts\u003c/a> is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

Communicating through his campaign’s political director, he declined an interview with KPCC for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But during a recent debate with Caforio hosted by \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/thetalkofsantaclarita\">a local podcast called The Talk of Santa Clarita\u003c/a>, Knight talked about his stands on issues like gun control. He said he would not support a ban on assault rifles like the AR-15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will not go out and target a single weapon. I think that people understand that,\" he said, adding that it would lead to targeting every handgun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His opponent supports a ban on assault rifles. \"I hear what Congressman Knight says. I disagree with him. I think we need to take steps to protect people in our community,\" Caforio said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent visit to Caforio’s campaign headquarters in Santa Clarita, the tension between the two campaigns was evident in the instructions given to canvassers by Caforio staffer Elon Glickman before the supporters headed out to knock on doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If somebody from the Steve Knight campaign approaches you while you are canvassing, right, \u003cem>no\u003c/em>,\" he said. \"Don’t say anything about our operations, what we’re doing, don’t give them any literature and then give me a call immediately — OK? Immediately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caforio has criticized Knight for his anti-abortion views and for not taking a stronger stand against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Knight distanced himself from Trump after the GOP candidate \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/10/07/497087141/donald-trump-caught-on-tape-making-vulgar-remarks-about-women\">bragged of groping women\u003c/a>. Trump later denied he ever acted that way. But Knight also said that while he isn’t endorsing either candidate for president, he does plan to vote. He has declined to disclose who he is voting for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Knight has attacked Caforio as an outsider who only recently moved into the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Knight, who was born in the Antelope Valley, has called Caforio a \"Beverly Hills trial attorney\" in campaign materials. He’s also said Caforio has launched the most venomous campaign that the district has ever seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caforio moved to the district in November 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We moved here last year, you know, because this is where we’re going to live after the election regardless of what happens. But we are running, of course, because this is the area I want to represent,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of this race could hinge on Republican turnout and Trump's impact on down-ballot races like Knight's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump is polling lower among Republicans in California compared to his national numbers, said Bill Whalen, research fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution at Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The fewer Republicans that turn out to vote because they’re spooked away by Donald Trump, that’s fewer Republicans who can come out and vote for Congressman Knight,\" Whalen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Caforio win would be the first time the district will have turned blue since the early 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/cacounts/\">California Counts\u003c/a> is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

In my country, it’s a very difficult economic and political time. But we have to keep working, and I think El Sistema is a symbol of this hope of the country.

You know, I have family living there. They are suffering the same things. But the thing is, you have to keep working. I’m a person that works. I don’t like to talk. I prefer to work and build things. I’m not a politician, my dear, I’m a musician, I’m an artist. Of course, I’m a citizen. But what I can do is spread the message of music and art as a very important element of humanity. This is the thing that I do. I’m with my country, with all the people that are suffering. But what I can say is that we will get out of this difficult moment. But keep working and keep dreaming, because nobody can kill our dreams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Part of your dream here in California is to make classical music more accessible.

So it’s beautiful, the amount of people that have access to classical music. Tickets are less expensive, some of them only a dollar.

I’m so thankful and grateful to have John Williams as a friend. When he called me, I was like, ‘Are you sure John, you are not joking?’ He said, ‘No, I would love to give a surprise to the orchestra.' It was a great experience.

It's a huge part of this program, which includes CPR, first aid, and fire science and technology classes, in addition to the regular high school curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact is, Sonoda says, when adult recruits wash out of the L.A. fire academy -- especially females -- it's usually during the strenuous boot camp, where candidates have to wrestle ladders, tools, equipment and hoses, wearing full work gear during simulated fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The hands-on portion, it's a lot of skills involved,\" Sonoda explains. \"And if they are able to be strong physically,\" then learning those skills early is important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The magnet program, \"encourages me to do better in school, to stay focused,\" says 15-year-old Wendy Gomez. For now, anyway, she's determined to forge a career as a first responder. \"If I become a firefighter I'll be the first one in my family. They're very supportive. [They] tell me, 'Don't give up.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students in the program who may end up later trying to get into the department's training academy \"are going to have a huge leg up on other candidates by knowing everything the way L.A.

It's far too soon to tell.

He plans to add two more firefighting magnet programs next year. \"My vision for the future is that we develop a feeder pool so that we can set (the students) on the right course for whatever they do life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terrazas knows that, in all likelihood, only a small percentage of these students are likely to end up as firefighters or EMTs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But I look at the bigger picture,\" the chief adds. \"If we don't hire them as firefighters, we are going to develop better citizens. We are going to help them, hopefully, pursue education. Go to college, the military. Whatever they decide to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

He shows up for work looking clean and presentable. He said he tries to use public showers when he can, but other times, washes in the L.A.

The group established the Guadalupe Homeless Project in 1988. \u003ccite>(Dan Tuffs/KPCC)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Lately, Valentan and the job center staff have referred a growing number of workers to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.dolores-mission.org/\">Dolores Mission\u003c/a> in Boyle Heights. The shelter is unique in that it caters to Spanish-speaking immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Overall, we have seen a huge increase in the number of people coming to us, and newly homeless, since 2009,\" said Cynthia Sanchez, director of Proyecto Pastoral, the nonprofit that runs the shelter at Dolores Mission Church.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The church shelter first opened its doors nearly 30 years ago to house refugees fleeing war-torn Central America. Now, it shelters a different crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of them are day laborers. They work in construction or they work in restaurants, they work in landscaping,\" Sanchez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty-six men sleep inside the church sanctuary and several others sleep in adjacent buildings. A smaller women's shelter opened a year and a half ago, housing mostly older women who work in domestic jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of those who wind up on the street are single men, Sanchez said. They are here on their own, without families in the U.S., and often send money back home to relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Shadow' Population\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez and others who work with the homeless immigrants see them as a shadow population within Los Angeles' growing homeless ranks. Since last year, the number of homeless in Los Angeles County rose by almost 6 percent over the past year to 46,874 people, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2016/05/04/60286/la-homelessness-up-6-percent-over-last-year/\">a census of the homeless\u003c/a> released in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The immigrant homeless are part of this population, but there are barriers to assisting them. Many are reluctant to seek services or go to shelters, according to local day labor centers and others who work with them. They said they are afraid of others on the street who are mentally ill or use drugs. Some from foreign countries are fearful of the black homeless population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"S0uDkOER4VT30ZR60ZpzaYElt0IUuC09\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is also a sense of shame, Sanchez said. Some among the immigrant homeless are reluctant to accept help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, they don’t see themselves as being homeless or as needing shelter, but rather as needing support so they can work,\" Sanchez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their lack of legal status in the U.S. also makes them reluctant to step forward, whether to report a crime or to enter a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even when they come here to the program, and we start putting their information into the computer, they ask: Where does this information go? Is it going to affect us?\" said Salvador Mendoza, who handles intake at Dolores Mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County officials said those who lack legal status also have other issues accessing services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For the most part, undocumented immigrants are not eligible for public benefits, that being federal housing subsidies, or CalFresh benefits, formerly known as food stamps,\" said Phil Ansell, director of Los Angeles County's new \u003ca href=\"http://priorities.lacounty.gov/homeless/\">Homeless Initiative\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ansell said that's not to say U.S. citizens and legal residents who are homeless have it much easier. He said there isn't enough federal Section 8 housing assistance to go around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The overall challenge is that rents are high and that wages are low,\" Ansell said. \"And that is the same challenge that faces most other homeless families and individuals.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ansell said he hoped recent minimum wage and anti-wage theft laws might help. Wage theft -- when employers withhold wages or benefits owed to an employee -- is rampant in day labor and other low-wage industries that attract immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez at Dolores Mission said for now, their best solution for moving people into permanent housing is to place them with roommates in private rentals. But rising rents lately have made that difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Getting Off the Streets\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every night at the Dolores Mission, after dinner, the cots go up inside the church, even where the altar stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It gets pushed to the side to allow space for eight cots to go up on the altar,” Sanchez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11100573\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11100573\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/DoloresMission-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Dolores Mission, where evening meals are served at Proyecto Pastoral.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/DoloresMission-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/DoloresMission-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/DoloresMission.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/DoloresMission-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/DoloresMission-960x641.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dolores Mission, where evening meals are served at Proyecto Pastoral. \u003ccite>(Dan Tuffs/KPCC)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Twenty-six men sleep in the church.

There is also a smaller women's shelter that opened a year and a half ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One recent evening, a few of the men gathered around the TV before dinner. Among them was 59-year-old Andres Gonzales Perez, a relatively recent arrival to the mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been here for two months,\" Gonzales said. \"It is the first time I am here at a mission, unfortunately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzales said it's the first time he has been homeless. He used to work as a baker, but became sick with a lung ailment that needed treatment and couldn’t keep working. He tried unsuccessfully staying with his brother. About three months ago, he wound up on the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was very cold,\" Gonzales said. \"I got an ugly cough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rigoberto Bejerano has been on the street longer. He said he tried staying for a time downtown, near Skid Row, where all the services are, but he found that frightening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s lots of drugs, lots of alcoholism, lots of perdition, lots of vandalism,\" said Bejerano, who has worked as a handyman. \"People don’t have any money, so they attack others to get what they want. It’s dangerous living downtown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Cypress Park, Alonso said one reason he camps in the hills is to avoid the dangers of the streets. He said he's been thinking lately about heading back to Mexico after 16 years in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he hasn't talked to his parents since he’s been on the street. At first, he told them everything was OK. Then he stopped calling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Instead of making them happy to hear from me, it would make them upset,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's been years now since he had contact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What really breaks my heart is that I don’t know if my dad is alive, if my mom is alive, if my siblings are OK,\" Alonso said. \"I love them very much ... and I’m afraid they will think that I am ingrate, that I don’t want to help them, that I forgot about them -- and it’s not like that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that if things don’t get better within a couple of years, he’ll head home.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The group established the Guadalupe Homeless Project in 1988. \u003ccite>(Dan Tuffs/KPCC)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Lately, Valentan and the job center staff have referred a growing number of workers to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.dolores-mission.org/\">Dolores Mission\u003c/a> in Boyle Heights. The shelter is unique in that it caters to Spanish-speaking immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Overall, we have seen a huge increase in the number of people coming to us, and newly homeless, since 2009,\" said Cynthia Sanchez, director of Proyecto Pastoral, the nonprofit that runs the shelter at Dolores Mission Church.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The church shelter first opened its doors nearly 30 years ago to house refugees fleeing war-torn Central America. Now, it shelters a different crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of them are day laborers. They work in construction or they work in restaurants, they work in landscaping,\" Sanchez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty-six men sleep inside the church sanctuary and several others sleep in adjacent buildings. A smaller women's shelter opened a year and a half ago, housing mostly older women who work in domestic jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of those who wind up on the street are single men, Sanchez said. They are here on their own, without families in the U.S., and often send money back home to relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Shadow' Population\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez and others who work with the homeless immigrants see them as a shadow population within Los Angeles' growing homeless ranks. Since last year, the number of homeless in Los Angeles County rose by almost 6 percent over the past year to 46,874 people, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2016/05/04/60286/la-homelessness-up-6-percent-over-last-year/\">a census of the homeless\u003c/a> released in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The immigrant homeless are part of this population, but there are barriers to assisting them. Many are reluctant to seek services or go to shelters, according to local day labor centers and others who work with them. They said they are afraid of others on the street who are mentally ill or use drugs. Some from foreign countries are fearful of the black homeless population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is also a sense of shame, Sanchez said. Some among the immigrant homeless are reluctant to accept help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, they don’t see themselves as being homeless or as needing shelter, but rather as needing support so they can work,\" Sanchez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their lack of legal status in the U.S. also makes them reluctant to step forward, whether to report a crime or to enter a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even when they come here to the program, and we start putting their information into the computer, they ask: Where does this information go? Is it going to affect us?\" said Salvador Mendoza, who handles intake at Dolores Mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County officials said those who lack legal status also have other issues accessing services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For the most part, undocumented immigrants are not eligible for public benefits, that being federal housing subsidies, or CalFresh benefits, formerly known as food stamps,\" said Phil Ansell, director of Los Angeles County's new \u003ca href=\"http://priorities.lacounty.gov/homeless/\">Homeless Initiative\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ansell said that's not to say U.S. citizens and legal residents who are homeless have it much easier. He said there isn't enough federal Section 8 housing assistance to go around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The overall challenge is that rents are high and that wages are low,\" Ansell said. \"And that is the same challenge that faces most other homeless families and individuals.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ansell said he hoped recent minimum wage and anti-wage theft laws might help. Wage theft -- when employers withhold wages or benefits owed to an employee -- is rampant in day labor and other low-wage industries that attract immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez at Dolores Mission said for now, their best solution for moving people into permanent housing is to place them with roommates in private rentals. But rising rents lately have made that difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Getting Off the Streets\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every night at the Dolores Mission, after dinner, the cots go up inside the church, even where the altar stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It gets pushed to the side to allow space for eight cots to go up on the altar,” Sanchez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11100573\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11100573\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/DoloresMission-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Dolores Mission, where evening meals are served at Proyecto Pastoral.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/DoloresMission-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/DoloresMission-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/DoloresMission.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/DoloresMission-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/DoloresMission-960x641.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dolores Mission, where evening meals are served at Proyecto Pastoral. \u003ccite>(Dan Tuffs/KPCC)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Twenty-six men sleep in the church. Others sleep in adjacent buildings. Altogether the men's shelter houses 45. There is also a smaller women's shelter that opened a year and a half ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One recent evening, a few of the men gathered around the TV before dinner. Among them was 59-year-old Andres Gonzales Perez, a relatively recent arrival to the mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been here for two months,\" Gonzales said. \"It is the first time I am here at a mission, unfortunately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzales said it's the first time he has been homeless. He used to work as a baker, but became sick with a lung ailment that needed treatment and couldn’t keep working. He tried unsuccessfully staying with his brother. About three months ago, he wound up on the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was very cold,\" Gonzales said. \"I got an ugly cough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rigoberto Bejerano has been on the street longer. He said he tried staying for a time downtown, near Skid Row, where all the services are, but he found that frightening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s lots of drugs, lots of alcoholism, lots of perdition, lots of vandalism,\" said Bejerano, who has worked as a handyman. \"People don’t have any money, so they attack others to get what they want. It’s dangerous living downtown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Cypress Park, Alonso said one reason he camps in the hills is to avoid the dangers of the streets. He said he's been thinking lately about heading back to Mexico after 16 years in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he hasn't talked to his parents since he’s been on the street. At first, he told them everything was OK. Then he stopped calling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Instead of making them happy to hear from me, it would make them upset,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's been years now since he had contact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What really breaks my heart is that I don’t know if my dad is alive, if my mom is alive, if my siblings are OK,\" Alonso said. \"I love them very much ... and I’m afraid they will think that I am ingrate, that I don’t want to help them, that I forgot about them -- and it’s not like that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
