But helping facilitate free mental health services for fire survivors is no panacea for a therapist who’s endured trauma herself. She’d endlessly ruminate about the night of the fire, replaying terrifying memories and experiencing debilitating bouts of anxiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think I’ve ever been such a crier. I feel like I cried a lot, all the time,” said Lopez. “And PTSD really [messed] with my appetite. It’s part of my politics to combat fatphobia, but I lost like 40 pounds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A seasoned therapist, Lopez found the grief circle and one-on-one therapy extremely helpful in the weeks after the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think one of the things that felt powerful for me was hearing a lot of people say, ‘I feel like I can just be sad here. I feel like I can just grieve here.’ Because the world has moved on,” she said. “It was nice to hear folks talking about how in the group, they could just be sad or angry or let themselves feel grief.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, however, Lopez has stepped away from the grief circle. It was hard to relate to other participants who were mostly white homeowners who could afford to rebuild. Less privileged survivors — people without the money to rebuild, or renters like Lopez, or who are Black, Latino or undocumented — just weren’t showing up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know there’s a lot of people who are working two or three job jobs, there was no time off for PTSD,” explains Lopez. “These free resources are great, but if you can’t go on a Saturday, or whenever the event is being held, you are out of luck.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help fill that gap, Los Angeles County recently expanded a range of free post-wildfire resources at \u003ca href=\"https://parks.lacounty.gov/loma-alta-park/\">Alta Loma Park in Altadena\u003c/a>, including on-site county mental health clinicians.

But helping facilitate free mental health services for fire survivors is no panacea for a therapist who’s endured trauma herself. She’d endlessly ruminate about the night of the fire, replaying terrifying memories and experiencing debilitating bouts of anxiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think I’ve ever been such a crier. I feel like I cried a lot, all the time,” said Lopez. “And PTSD really [messed] with my appetite.

I feel like I can just grieve here.’ Because the world has moved on,” she said. “It was nice to hear folks talking about how in the group, they could just be sad or angry or let themselves feel grief.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, however, Lopez has stepped away from the grief circle. It was hard to relate to other participants who were mostly white homeowners who could afford to rebuild. Less privileged survivors — people without the money to rebuild, or renters like Lopez, or who are Black, Latino or undocumented — just weren’t showing up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know there’s a lot of people who are working two or three job jobs, there was no time off for PTSD,” explains Lopez. “These free resources are great, but if you can’t go on a Saturday, or whenever the event is being held, you are out of luck.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help fill that gap, Los Angeles County recently expanded a range of free post-wildfire resources at \u003ca href=\"https://parks.lacounty.gov/loma-alta-park/\">Alta Loma Park in Altadena\u003c/a>, including on-site county mental health clinicians.

Johnson\u003c/a>, which upended California’s homelessness strategy by allowing cities to enforce blanket bans on camping — even if no shelter beds are available. Immediately after the decision, unhoused Californians and the people who help them \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2024/08/homeless-encampments-sweep-reax/\">reported seeing an increase\u003c/a> in enforcement. But CalMatters’ reporting, gleaned from more than 100 public records requests, appears to be the first statewide effort to quantify that increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CalMatters analyzed data on arrests and citations for camping and other homelessness-related offenses for 2024, comparing the six months before the June 28 Supreme Court decision to the six months after. They found increases in cities throughout the state, even in those where local leaders said they didn’t change their policy as a result of Grants Pass. Here are some of the places with the most significant increases, according to police data:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003cli>In \u003cstrong>San Francisco\u003c/strong>, then-mayor London Breed \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/mayor-breed-says-aggressive-sweep-of-sf-19582134.php\">promised to be “very aggressive”\u003c/a> in moving encampments following the Grants Pass decision.

Johnson\u003c/a>, which upended California’s homelessness strategy by allowing cities to enforce blanket bans on camping — even if no shelter beds are available. Immediately after the decision, unhoused Californians and the people who help them \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2024/08/homeless-encampments-sweep-reax/\">reported seeing an increase\u003c/a> in enforcement. But CalMatters’ reporting, gleaned from more than 100 public records requests, appears to be the first statewide effort to quantify that increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CalMatters analyzed data on arrests and citations for camping and other homelessness-related offenses for 2024, comparing the six months before the June 28 Supreme Court decision to the six months after. They found increases in cities throughout the state, even in those where local leaders said they didn’t change their policy as a result of Grants Pass.
