Today is a sad day. Federal homeless counts, done once every other year, all across the Bay Area have reached staggering highs.
At more than 8,000 people, San Francisco now has the highest numbers since the Willie Brown-era, or right around when @gavinnewsom took office.https://twitter.com/hknightsf/status/1129155331689332736 …

Darwin BondGraham @DarwinBondGrahaAlameda County's latest homeless persons population count is out. It shows a 43% increase in homeless residents from 2017 to 2018, from 5,269 to 8,022.

Alameda County’s approach feels highly disorganized with various cities passing the buck to each other.

Like shelter occupancy rates in Berkeley seem glaringly low compared to the extremely consistent 93% avg or so in SF.

These are old. 50-75% utilization is shockingly low compared to SF, which has a 1,200 person waitlist.https://www.berkeleyside.com/2017/01/17/berkeleys-new-homeless-shelter-proves-popular-but-not-everyone-wants-it …

Looks like that's just one temp winter shelter, over only a few weeks. (When Berkeley was evicting the encampments around City Hall last year, I called the shelter city staff were referring evictees to (at 9th and University) and they told me they were already filling up daily.)
