A little thread on why homelessness in California is so much more visible than in New York. NY has a legal "right to shelter" because of the Callahan v. Carey consent decree in 1981. https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/27/nyregion/pact-requires-city-to-shelter-homeless-men.html …https://twitter.com/samueldodge/status/1070475888620298240 …

Informative as always. I'm still blown away that with Prop C we're looking over $650m/yr and no guarantee of a bed, under a roof, per chronically homeless (~7500?). And yes, I've read the official site on how that money will be used.

I don't think unfavorable-looking per capita spending figures that were bandied about during the
@OurHomeSF campaign were really fair. NY state supplements homelessness spending in NYC by *orders of magnitude* more than CA supports homelessness spending in its cities.pic.twitter.com/kSBgddd3Qk

Oh, I didn’t know about that caveat.

Personally, and I’m only speaking for myself, it feels like having a roof over your head is better than not having one.

Timely since this is the proposed budget from the latest crop of supes. Literally 0 budget for homelessness -- not even a pittance. It's nuts, honestly.pic.twitter.com/5WIMg3Gy3n

the narrow focus on ‘permanent’ housing, & costly forms of it like new-built PSP — and on just the ‘chronic’ slice of the unhoused — by local, state & Federal agencies, is a big factor in why brutal, unsheltered homelessness remains widespread.https://twitter.com/kimmaicutler/status/1070485970665988096 …

If you compare what’s happened with homeless people in NYC (up 53% in 7 years) with what’s happened with homeless VETERANS in NYC (down ... 87%!) you can see the difference between a system of shelter without much housing and shelter with extensive work on housing
