That's according to a \u003ca href=\"http://bit.ly/CYWHiddenCrisisReport\">report\u003c/a> published last year by the Center for Youth and Wellness in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s generational abuse and neglect that impacts a person’s well-being, and now these are the people having kids,” said Jena Conner, deputy director for family and children services in Mendocino County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conner said that unemployment, lack of affordable housing and a dearth of transportation all contribute to the high rate of child neglect in the county. A typical case of her agency acting to remove a child from a household, she said, involves parents who have substance abuse or mental health issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Typically we find that this leads to an unsafe home environment for children and domestic violence,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jade Aldrich, the parenting skills teacher, experienced some of those issues first-hand. About 15 years ago, she walked through the brightly decorated doors of the Safe Passage Family Resource Center, where she now works, as an exhausted parent in desperate need of help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her partner at the time was a veteran with PTSD and no access to mental health services. He engaged in domestic violence, she says, a traumatic experience for her and her children. She turned to alcohol in response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was definitely one of the most difficult times of my life,\" Aldrich said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family survived on $500 a month on welfare, plus food stamps, while living in a moldy subsidized housing complex that has since been shut down. But it was the birth of her second child that really shook her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My partner was not only suffering a mental illness, he was incarcerated,\" Aldrich said. \"So I had to give childbirth on my own. And that was sad. It was definitely emotional for me. It was at that moment that I decided I wanted to offer support to people who felt just like me. I knew that people deserved somebody to stand by their side, somebody to believe in them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She studied at College of the Redwoods and California State University, Chico, while working full time and caring for her two young children. It took her years to get her first associate degree in technical preparation, and to become certified as a doula and parenting teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was able to turn around and leave waitressing for a career, and that has led me to continue to seek out higher education and the things that are important to me, like parenting,” she said proudly, adding that her oldest daughter is a senior who will be applying to college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aldrich credits the Safe Passage Family Resource Center, which was established in 1996, as her lifesaver. The center describes itself as a \"one- stop shop\" that connects families -- sometimes with a long and daunting list of housing, food and other needs -- to programs and services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, a small group of Spanish-speaking parents stood at the entrance with children in tow. They scanned a bulletin board with ads for services and free clothes.

(Jeremy Raff/KQED).\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The study does not explain why FIT Zones worked only in one place, but Lawrence said the parks’ locations within their respective neighborhoods may have made a difference. Jack Farrell is central and visible, so anyone walking by could see cops and kids playing together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MLK Park, by contrast, is so hidden that the city has put up a half-dozen signs with arrows leading visitors through the neighborhood to the park. The entrance is at the end of a cul-de-sac, and most of the park faces the San Francisco Bay. That makes it harder for residents to notice that more people, and police, are using the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Public Health Approach\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fit Zones are about reducing shootings, but also about improving health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that communities like East Palo Alto suffer from high chronic disease rates as well as high crime,” said Gaines. “Assuming people are less active in East Palo Alto out of fear, we asked, 'Can we do something that addresses both?' And the answer was Fit Zones.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawrence credits the city's police chief at the time, Ron Davis, for implementing the program. Davis thought \"the police department had a role to play in the health of residents,” said Lawrence. “He is a visionary guy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In East Palo Alto, shootings are down, and people at Bell Street Park said that a safe place to play has helped them improve their own health. A 14-year-old girl named Paluteia was playing volleyball after rock-band practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of my family is overweight,” she said, but “seeing other people work out, it's motivating. I can do more, and there are other people who will do it with me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I started, I was 397 pounds,” said Smokey, another regular. “I weighed myself last Saturday, and I was 332 pounds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, health indicators are much worse in East Palo Alto than in the surrounding affluent cities.

But we’re in the light, we’re saying hello.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re just like regular people. They come play games, they mess up, they do good,” said Carl Mitchell, a high school student. “At least while they’re here, they’re acting good, let's say that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cops’ attitudes may also be changing. “I’ve really seen a shift in the police officers' perspective,” said Lawrence. When the program started, she interviewed participating cops. “I asked why they were doing it, and quite frankly a lot of them said, ‘I’m getting paid to exercise.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now,” said Lawrence, “those same officers are saying, ‘These are my kids,’ and really taking ownership.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Lee, an East Palo Alto police officer, struck up a conversation with a 5-year-old boy who was poking at a dead opossum during a FIT Zone event. As they were chatting, Lee realized, “I knew his dad from the streets. He was a known drug dealer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boy's father had been murdered on Michigan Avenue, next to Jack Farrell Park, the same block where Lee and the boy now both ride bikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had personally taken his dad's homicide report,\" Lee says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee has his own kids, so he could appreciate how sharp the boy was for his age, how bright a future he could have, given a chance. \"Imagining this child's future,\" Lee says, was \"one of the most powerful things I've felt.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jack Farrell is central and visible, so anyone walking by could see cops and kids playing together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MLK Park, by contrast, is so hidden that the city has put up a half-dozen signs with arrows leading visitors through the neighborhood to the park. The entrance is at the end of a cul-de-sac, and most of the park faces the San Francisco Bay. That makes it harder for residents to notice that more people, and police, are using the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Public Health Approach\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fit Zones are about reducing shootings, but also about improving health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that communities like East Palo Alto suffer from high chronic disease rates as well as high crime,” said Gaines. “Assuming people are less active in East Palo Alto out of fear, we asked, 'Can we do something that addresses both?' And the answer was Fit Zones.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawrence credits the city's police chief at the time, Ron Davis, for implementing the program. Davis thought \"the police department had a role to play in the health of residents,” said Lawrence. “He is a visionary guy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In East Palo Alto, shootings are down, and people at Bell Street Park said that a safe place to play has helped them improve their own health. A 14-year-old girl named Paluteia was playing volleyball after rock-band practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of my family is overweight,” she said, but “seeing other people work out, it's motivating. I can do more, and there are other people who will do it with me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I started, I was 397 pounds,” said Smokey, another regular. “I weighed myself last Saturday, and I was 332 pounds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, health indicators are much worse in East Palo Alto than in the surrounding affluent cities.

But we’re in the light, we’re saying hello.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re just like regular people. They come play games, they mess up, they do good,” said Carl Mitchell, a high school student. “At least while they’re here, they’re acting good, let's say that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cops’ attitudes may also be changing. “I’ve really seen a shift in the police officers' perspective,” said Lawrence. When the program started, she interviewed participating cops. “I asked why they were doing it, and quite frankly a lot of them said, ‘I’m getting paid to exercise.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now,” said Lawrence, “those same officers are saying, ‘These are my kids,’ and really taking ownership.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Lee, an East Palo Alto police officer, struck up a conversation with a 5-year-old boy who was poking at a dead opossum during a FIT Zone event. As they were chatting, Lee realized, “I knew his dad from the streets. He was a known drug dealer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boy's father had been murdered on Michigan Avenue, next to Jack Farrell Park, the same block where Lee and the boy now both ride bikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had personally taken his dad's homicide report,\" Lee says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

By being outside, it gives you a better chance at staying clean.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At last, Cook seems on track to achieve this goal. He is engaged to his girlfriend of 14 months, Lynette Baldwin, who helped him through a relapse and inspired him to stay sober.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that Cook has a stable address, he is eager to find employment.

It was mostly vacant, and filled with debris left by squatters, before it was bought and renovated by real estate developer Sam Patel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Persuaded by San Francisco’s goal of ending veteran homelessness, Patel chose to rent the building to the city even though there were eight other bidders, some of whom were willing to pay 25 percent more than what the city offered.

They have\u003ca title=\"http://www.beyondchron.org/transformed-horror-show-sro/\" href=\"http://www.beyondchron.org/transformed-horror-show-sro/\" target=\"_blank\"> a history of supporting housing for homeless people\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a major triumph for the city, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, related veterans service organizations and community partners, all of whom worked together to secure funding for the lease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eager for a new beginning, Cook is the type of chronically homeless veteran that the city and the VA targeted for residency at 250 Kearny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once someone who is highly vulnerable moves into independent housing, they are significantly more likely to be successful in all other areas of their life,” said Miriam Beyer, a social work supervisor for the Department of Housing and Urban Development Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyer explains that research within the last 20 years supports “housing-first principles.” This is the idea that the most effective solution for chronic homelessness is moving individuals straight from the streets into stable housing, as opposed to a \"housing-readiness\" philosophy, which moves people through different levels of transitional housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once somebody has a home that’s consistent, that’s stable, they’re able to work on all of those other tasks that are not immediately related to survival on the streets,” Beyer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23137\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2014/12/clarence2.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-23137\" title=\"\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2014/12/clarence2-640x359.jpg\" alt=\"After living on the streets for seventeen years, Clarence Cook moved into a 250 Kearny on December 4th.

By being outside, it gives you a better chance at staying clean.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At last, Cook seems on track to achieve this goal. He is engaged to his girlfriend of 14 months, Lynette Baldwin, who helped him through a relapse and inspired him to stay sober.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that Cook has a stable address, he is eager to find employment.
