L.A.’S NEW HOMELESS SOLUTION CLEARS CAMPS BUT STRUGGLES TO HOUSE PEOPLE
Los Angeles’ new homelessness solution is meant to quickly get people out of encampments and into housing – as the city grapples with the state’s largest population of unhoused residents. But the program is struggling to house people and connect them with social services.

makeshift shacks and brokendown RVs crowded both sidewalks under a U.S. Highway 101 overpass in Hollywood seven months ago.
Tents,
More than two-dozen people lived in the squalid encampment, feet from cars flying past. Neighbors and nearby businesses fumed, saying they and their customers felt unsafe.
On a Wednesday afternoon last month, all traces of the tents – and the people who lived in them – were gone. The sidewalks were spotless, without even a speck of trash.
What happened?
The site was part of a Los Angeles homeless program called Inside Safe – Mayor Karen Bass’ answer to the city’s staggering homelessness crisis. Under the new initiative, outreach workers move from encampment to encampment, offering everyone at each targeted camp a hotel room. From there, the goal is to move everyone quickly from the hotel into permanent housing.
There’s a lot riding on its success at a local, state and even national level. Bass has all but staked her tenure as mayor on fighting Los Angeles’ homelessness crisis. And President Joe Biden’s administration picked L.A. as one of six places to focus its homelessness efforts.
Inside Safe already has been a godsend for people like Tim and Sandy, who live in a condo about two blocks from the overpass and are relieved to see the now-spotless sidewalks.
“It’s absolutely wonderful,” said Tim, who declined to provide his last name to protect his privacy. “I just hope it stays that way.”
Inside Safe has clear advantages over previous efforts to make a dent in L.A.’s homeless crisis. It removes the sprawling encampments that, as the city’s most visible symptom of
homelessness, spark never-ending complaints. Advocates say it’s much easier to find long-term housing for people in hotel rooms than for people still in tents. Hotel rooms provide a safe place where residents can heal from the trauma of the street, get their documents in order and relearn how to live indoors. And it means their case workers don’t have to trek all over the city looking for them.
But while Inside Safe has succeeded in putting a temporary roof over the heads of many of Los Angeles’ most vulnerable residents, the program has obvious shortcomings. Now in its seventh month, Inside Safe has moved very few people from hotels into permanent housing – and the city is struggling to produce data on the program’s impact. Access to much-needed services, such as mental and physical health care, have been lacking. And renting the hotel rooms is far too expensive for Los Angeles to keep it up indefinitely, leading some activists to worry participants may end up back on the street when the funding runs out.
The 101 overpass at Cahuenga Boulevard, cleared in December, was the first Inside Safe operation. Since then, the city has completed close to two-dozen – moving 1,373 people into hotels as of earlier this month. But only about 77 of those people – less than 6% –have moved from the hotels into permanent housing, frustrating officials as the number of unhoused people in the city continues to skyrocket.
“We have a real problem if the folks aren’t getting housed,” Councilman Bob Blumenfield, vice chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee, said during a recent meeting.
Inside Safe was a major piece of the newly elected Bass’ campaign for mayor. And it has the potential to serve as a model for other cities throughout California. She has outsized influence beyond Los Angeles as chair of the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ homelessness task force. And, home to more than 46,000 unhoused people per the city’s recently released point-in-time count, L.A. is the epicenter of California’s homelessness crisis,
accounting for about a quarter of the state’s homeless population.
“It was not acceptable to me to say, you know what, we’re not going to get people off the streets until we have figured out all of the issues,” Bass said in a phone interview. “As we have found problems, we are aggressively moving to address them.”
“Make no mistake — We are not satisfied with the amount of people in housing.”
-KAREN BASS, LOS ANGELES MAYOR
Despite concerns about the low number of people housed through the program, the City Council allocated $250 million to continue and expand Inside Safe over the next year. Los Angeles County is also launching a copycat program.
Bass agreed the Inside Safe data is “extremely disappointing.”
“Make no mistake — We are not satisfied with the amount of people in housing,” she said in an emailed statement.
Bass blames the issue partly on bureaucracy. People have to jump through a series of hurdles to prove they qualify for subsidized housing, including obtaining the right form of identification. She says she’s attempting to streamline the process. The city’s lack of affordable housing is another major factor. But 3,200 new units are expected to open this year thanks to Proposition HHH (the $1.2 billion housing bond L.A. voters passed in 2016), according to Va Lecia Adams Kellum, CEO of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.
Pete Wales, 65, is one of the few Inside Safe participants who found permanent housing. But Wales already was working with a nonprofit on getting into housing before he moved into one of the program’s hotels in February.
At the time he was interviewed by a reporter late last month, Wales was preparing to move into a subsidized studio apartment in a new
building near Echo Park.
“I consider myself lucky,” he said.
Gaps in Los Angeles homeless services
For many people who spent years on the street, simply getting a roof over their head is far from enough – they may need additional support including counseling, medical care, job training or help getting a new ID. Access to those services has been lacking in the motels, according to Inside Safe participants, outreach workers and even the mayor herself.
“That is a major concern of mine,” said Bass, who says the service providers simply don’t have the capacity to meet everyone’s needs. She wants to bring in doctors, nurses, dentists and social workers in-training from local universities to help fill the gap.
When Shayne Smith, 53, got into an Inside Safe hotel after seven years on the street, she thought it was a dream.
“It feels really good,” she said. “I can take a shower. I can sleep. I have electricity. I have hot water.”
Smith, a former interior designer, ended up homeless after a devastating seizure put her in a coma and caused her to lose her income. She had to relearn how to do basic tasks like reading and speaking. During her time on the street, Smith said she was the victim of multiple sexual and physical assaults. One beating knocked the veneers off her teeth, leaving her with what she has today – worn down stumps of teeth with exposed nerves and receding gums that have resulted in abscesses and infections.
“I’m still not getting treatment and I have massive headaches every day so bad that I feel like I’m going to throw up.”

Zoloft since arriving at the hotel. But she says she needs ongoing, in-depth mental health treatment and medical care for her teeth, and she’s not getting either.
“I’m still not getting treatment and I have massive headaches every day so bad that I feel like I’m going to throw up,” she said. “I can’t eat. I’ve lost a lot of weight. I’m in pain. Really bad pain all the time.”
Kris Rehl, an organizer with outreach group L.A. Street Care who works with Smith and others at that motel, said Smith isn’t the only one whose needs aren’t being met. Another guest at the hotel has a hernia so severe that she’s forced to use a wheelchair, Rehl said.
“The thing that really just destroys me is I will talk to people every week, like Shayne, who says ‘I’m in chronic pain,’” Rehl said. “Or people who are like I have debilitating panic attacks or debilitating depression or PTSD or some sort of urgent medical issue.”
Cost is another worry. The city is leasing rooms in about three-dozen motels, paying between $100 and $125 a night, per room. So far, Inside Safe has burned through nearly $40 million, city staff said during a committee meeting earlier this month. To make the program more affordable, the city is trying to buy some of the hotels. The mayor’s office said it is close to purchasing one 300-room motel, which would drop the nightly cost of sheltering people in those rooms from $135 down to $50, said Mercedes Márquez, the mayor’s chief of housing and homelessness solutions.
L.A. homeless encampment returns
Inside Safe has had mixed success when it comes to its goal of completely eliminating the encampments it targets. The city attempted to close a camp earlier this year at North Spring and Arcadia streets, two blocks from City Hall. On a recent afternoon, about 15 tents still dotted the sidewalks around that intersection.
Bass said that was one of a small number of Inside Safe sites the city wasn’t able to completely clear because some people at the encampment declined a hotel room. She suspects heavy drug use in the area is a factor – one woman overdosed during that Inside Safe operation, and a medic had to administer the overdose reversing drug Narcan four times to bring her back.
Skid Row, the infamous center of Los Angeles’ homeless community, is another area where any progress Inside Safe made is scarcely visible. The program moved 175 people from encampments in that neighborhood into hotel rooms, but it barely made a dent. The streets remain lined with tents and make-shift camps, where as many as 2,000 people are estimated to live.
But for those living and working near the U.S. 101 overpass that was the site of the city’s first Inside Safe operation, the difference is night and day.
“People would tell me all the time that they saw the gym and it had good reviews but they didn’t feel comfortable or safe parking their car or being in that neighborhood.”
-GLENN BURROUGHS, OWNER OF THE SWEAT EQUITY FITNESS GYM
For more than five years, passersby were forced to walk in the road to get around the encampment taking up the sidewalk, said Glenn Burroughs, who owns a gym called Sweat Equity Fitness down the street. Sometimes, people pitched tents right outside the gym’s door and it took months for the city to remove them, he said.
“I know I lost a lot of customers,” Burroughs said. “People would tell me all the time that they saw the gym and it had good reviews but they didn’t feel comfortable or safe parking their car or being in that neighborhood.”
Now, Burroughs is in “complete shock” that the sidewalks have remained so clean after the Inside Safe operation.
“It’s been extremely nice,” he said.
Homeless man returns to streets
But it hasn’t been a success story for everyone. About a block from the overpass, one small green and silver tent sits alone on the sidewalk. Inside, a 47-year-old man who goes by Selene, was reading an X-Men comic book on a recent afternoon. He had been part of the Inside Safe operation, and moved from the encampment into a hotel in December.
His reprieve from living outdoors lasted only about six months.
After getting into a disagreement with the hotel manager over his malfunctioning keycard, Selene kicked in the door to his room so he could get inside. As a result, he said, he was told to move out.
Now, he’s back on the street. After dropping him from the hotel, outreach workers gave him a tent and drove him back to the overpass, he said. After he pitched his tent, police quickly came and told him he could no longer camp there. So he moved a block down the road.
After living on the street for nearly three decades, Selene has multiple mental health symptoms, including anger issues and anxiety attacks that make his whole body shake. He said he could have used counseling, but never got it while in the hotel. It’s possible that could have prevented the outburst that got him kicked out, he said.
The situation makes him feel useless and worthless, like “a waste of space and a waste of time.” Still, he insists he deserves a chance.
“I’m a good person,” he said, a tear running down his cheek.
Despite stories like Selene’s, Inside Safe seems like a “really promising model,” said Nichole Fiore, who studies homeless encampments and solutions as a principal associate with research firm Abt Associates. People are much more willing to move from encampments into hotels than into traditional shelters, she said, as hotels offer a private space with a locking door and the ability to bring more possessions.
But people have so many needs beyond the simple solution of a temporary hotel room –including mental and physical health care and other services, as well as permanent housing.
“Inside Safe has a hard job,” said Lauren Dunton, another associate at Abt. “It’s a very hard thing. It’s not simple.”
LA NUEVA SOLUCIÓN PARA PERSONAS SIN HOGAR DE LOS ÁNGELES DESPEJA
CAMPAMENTOS PERO TIENE DIFICULTADES PARA ALBERGAR A LAS PERSONAS
La nueva solución para personas sin hogar de Los Ángeles tiene como objetivo sacar rápidamente a las personas de los campamentos y ubicarlas en viviendas, ya que la ciudad se enfrenta a la mayor población de residentes sin hogar del estado. Pero el programa tiene dificultades para albergar a las personas y conectarlas con los servicios sociales.
Un lugar donde las personas sin hogar reciben alojamiento temporal, con la esperanza de ser eventualmente transferidos a una vivienda perma- nente, en Los Ángeles el 20 de junio de 2023.
Marisa Kendall CalMatters
Tiendas de campaña, chozas improvisadas y vehículos recreativos averiados llenaban ambas aceras bajo un paso elevado de la autopista 101 en Hollywood hace siete meses.
Más de dos docenas de personas vivían en el sórdido campamento, a metros de los autos que pasaban volando. Los vecinos y los negocios cercanos se enfurecieron y dijeron que ellos y sus clientes se sentían inseguros.
Un miércoles por la tarde del mes pasado, todo rastro de las tiendas de campaña, y de las personas que vivían en ellas, desaparecieron. Las aceras estaban impecables, sin siquiera un poco de basura.
¿Qué fue lo que pasó?
El sitio era parte de un programa para personas sin hogar de Los Ángeles llamado Inside Safe, la respuesta de la alcaldesa Karen Bass a la asombrosa crisis de personas sin hogar de la ciudad. Bajo la nueva iniciativa, los trabajadores de extensión se mueven de un campamento a otro, ofreciendo a todos en cada campamento objetivo una habitación de hotel. A partir de ahí, el objetivo es trasladar a todos rápidamente del hotel a una vivienda permanente.
Hay mucho en juego en su éxito a nivel local, estatal e incluso nacional. Bass casi ha apostado su mandato como alcaldesa en la lucha contra la crisis de personas sin hogar de Los Ángeles. Y la administración del presidente Joe Biden eligió a Los Ángeles como uno de los seis lugares para concentrar sus esfuerzos para personas sin hogar.
Inside Safe ya ha sido una bendición para personas como Tim y Sandy, que viven en un condominio a unas dos cuadras del paso elevado y se sienten aliviados al ver las aceras ahora impecables.
“Es absolutamente maravilloso”, dijo Tim, quien se negó a proporcionar su apellido para proteger su privacidad. “Solo espero que siga así”.
Inside Safe tiene claras ventajas sobre los esfuerzos anteriores para hacer mella en la crisis de personas sin hogar de Los Ángeles. Elimina los campamentos en expansión que, como el síntoma más visible de la falta de vivienda en la ciudad, generan quejas interminables. Los defensores dicen que es mucho más fácil encontrar alojamiento a largo plazo para personas en habitaciones de hotel que para personas que todavía están en tiendas de campaña. Las habitaciones de hotel brindan un lugar seguro
donde los residentes pueden recuperarse del trauma de la calle, ordenar sus documentos y volver a aprender a vivir en un lugar interior. Y significa que sus asistentes sociales no tienen que caminar por toda la ciudad buscándolos.
Pero mientras Inside Safe ha logrado poner un techo temporal sobre las cabezas de muchos de los residentes más vulnerables de Los Ángeles, el programa tiene deficiencias obvias. Ahora en su séptimo mes, Inside Safe ha trasladado a muy pocas personas de hoteles a viviendas permanentes, y la ciudad está luchando para producir datos sobre el impacto del programa. Ha faltado el acceso a servicios muy necesarios, como la atención de la salud mental y física. Y alquilar las habitaciones de hotel es demasiado caro para que Los Ángeles lo mantenga indefinidamente, lo que lleva a algunos activistas a preocuparse de que los participantes puedan terminar de nuevo en la calle cuando se agote la financiación.
El paso elevado sobre la 101 en Cahuenga Boulevard, despejado en diciembre, fue la primera operación Inside Safe. Desde entonces, la ciudad ha completado cerca de dos docenas, trasladando a 1,373 personas a hoteles a principios de este mes. Pero solo alrededor de 77 de esas personas, menos del 6%, se han mudado de los hoteles a viviendas permanentes, lo que frustra a los funcionarios a medida que la cantidad de personas sin hogar en la ciudad continúa disparándose.
“Tenemos un problema real si la gente no consigue alojamiento”, dijo el concejal Bob Blumenfield, vicepresidente del Comité de Vivienda y Personas sin Hogar, durante una reunión reciente.
Inside Safe fue una pieza importante de la campaña para la alcaldesa recién elegida Bass. Y tiene el potencial de servir como modelo para otras ciudades de California. Ella tiene una gran influencia más allá de Los Ángeles como presidenta del grupo de trabajo sobre personas sin hogar de la Conferencia de Alcaldes de EE.UU. Y, hogar de más de 46,000 personas sin hogar según el conteo temporal publicado recientemente por la ciudad, Los Ángeles es el epicentro de la crisis de personas sin hogar de California, y representa aproximadamente una cuarta parte de la población sin hogar del estado.
“No era aceptable para mí decir, sabes qué, no vamos a sacar a la gente de las calles hasta que hayamos resuelto todos los problemas”, dijo Bass en una entrevista telefónica. “Como hemos encontrado problemas, nos estamos moviendo agresivamente para abordarlos”.

“No se equivoquen: no estamos satisfechos con la cantidad de personas en viviendas”.
-KAREN BASS, ALCALDESA DE LOS ÁNGELES
A pesar de las preocupaciones sobre el bajo número de personas alojadas a través del programa, el Concejo Municipal asignó $250 millones para continuar y expandir Inside Safe durante el próximo año. El condado de Los Ángeles también está lanzando un programa de imitación.
Bass estuvo de acuerdo en que los datos de Inside Safe son “extremadamente decepcionantes”.
“No se equivoquen: no estamos satisfechos con la cantidad de personas en viviendas”, dijo en un comunicado enviado por correo electrónico.
Bass culpa del problema en parte a la burocracia. Las personas tienen que superar una serie de obstáculos para demostrar que califican para viviendas subsidiadas, incluida la obtención de la forma correcta de identificación. Ella dice que está tratando de agilizar el proceso. La falta de viviendas asequibles en la ciudad es otro factor importante. Pero se espera que se abran 3,200 unidades nuevas este año gracias a la Proposición HHH (el bono de vivienda de $1,200 millones que los votantes de Los Ángeles aprobaron en 2016), según Va Lecia Adams Kellum, directora ejecutiva de la Autoridad de Servicios para Personas sin Hogar de Los Ángeles.
Pete Wales, de 65 años, es uno de los pocos participantes de Inside Safe que encontró una vivienda permanente. Pero Wales ya estaba trabajando con una organización sin fines de lucro para acceder a una vivienda antes de mudarse a uno de los hoteles del programa en febrero.
En el momento en que fue entrevistado por un reportero a fines del mes pasado, Wales se estaba preparando para mudarse a un estudio subsidiado en un nuevo edificio cerca de Echo Park.
“Me considero afortunado”, dijo.
Brechas en los servicios para personas sin hog- ar de Los Ángeles
Para muchas personas que pasaron años en la calle, el simple hecho de tener un techo no es suficiente: es posible que necesiten apoyo adicional, como asesoramiento, atención médica, capacitación laboral o ayuda para obtener una nueva identificación. El acceso a esos servicios ha faltado en los moteles, según los participantes de Inside Safe, los trabajadores comunitarios e incluso la propia alcaldesa.
“Esa es una de mis principales preocupaciones”, dijo Bass, quien dice que los proveedores de servicios simplemente no tienen la capacidad para satisfacer las necesidades de todos. Ella quiere traer médicos, enfermeras, dentistas y trabajadores sociales en formación de las universidades locales para ayudar a llenar el vacío.
Cuando Shayne Smith, de 53 años, ingresó a un hotel Inside Safe después de siete años en la calle, pensó que era un sueño.
“Se siente muy bien”, dijo. “Puedo tomar una ducha. Yo puedo dormir. tengo electricidad. Tengo agua caliente”.
Smith, una ex diseñadora de interiores, terminó sin hogar después de que una devastadora convulsión la dejara en coma y le hiciera perder sus ingresos. Tuvo que volver a aprender a hacer tareas básicas como leer y hablar. Durante su tiempo en la calle, Smith dijo que fue víctima de múltiples agresiones sexuales y físicas. Una paliza le quitó las carillas de los dientes, dejándola con lo que tiene hoy: muñones de dientes desgastados con nervios expuestos y encías retraídas que han resultado en abscesos e infecciones.
“Todavía no estoy recibiendo tratamiento y tengo dolores de cabeza masivos todos los días, tan fuertes que siento que voy a vomitar”.
SHAYNE SMITH, RESIDENTE DE UN HOTEL GRACIAS A INSIDE SAFE
Ha recibido dos sesiones de asesoramiento de 10 minutos y una receta de Zoloft desde que llegó al hotel. Pero dice que necesita un tratamiento profundo y continuo de salud mental y atención médica para sus dientes, y no está recibiendo ninguno de los dos.
“Todavía no recibo tratamiento y tengo dolores de cabeza masivos todos los días, tan fuertes que
siento que voy a vomitar”, dijo. “No puedo comer. He perdido mucho peso. Estoy sufriendo. Un dolor muy fuerte todo el tiempo”.
Kris Rehl, un organizador del grupo de divulgación LA Street Care que trabaja con Smith y otros en ese motel, dijo que Smith no es la única cuyas necesidades no están siendo satisfechas. Otra huésped del hotel tiene una hernia tan grave que se ve obligada a usar una silla de ruedas, dijo Rehl.
“Lo que realmente me destruye es que hablo con personas todas las semanas, como Shayne, que dice ‘Tengo dolor crónico’”, dijo Rehl. “O las personas que son como yo tienen ataques de pánico debilitantes o depresión debilitante o trastorno de estrés postraumático o algún tipo de problema médico urgente”.
El costo es otra preocupación. La ciudad está alquilando habitaciones en unas tres docenas de moteles, pagando entre $100 y $125 por noche, por habitación. Hasta ahora, Inside Safe ha gastado casi $40 millones, dijo el personal de la ciudad durante una reunión del comité a principios de este mes. Para que el programa sea más asequible, la ciudad está tratando de comprar algunos de los hoteles.
La oficina del alcalde dijo que está cerca de comprar un motel de 300 habitaciones, lo que reduciría el costo nocturno de albergar a las personas en esas habitaciones de $135 a $50, dijo Mercedes Márquez, jefa de soluciones de vivienda y personas sin hogar del alcalde.
Vuelve el campamento para personas sin hogar de Los Ángeles
Inside Safe ha tenido un éxito mixto cuando se trata de su objetivo de eliminar por completo los campamentos a los que se dirige. La ciudad intentó cerrar un campamento a principios de este año en las calles North Spring y Arcadia, a dos cuadras del Ayuntamiento. En una tarde reciente, unas 15 tiendas de campaña todavía salpicaban las aceras alrededor de esa intersección.
Bass dijo que ese era uno de los pocos sitios de Inside Safe que la ciudad no pudo limpiar por completo porque algunas personas en el campamento rechazaron una habitación de hotel. Ella sospecha que el uso intensivo de drogas en el área es un factor: una mujer sufrió una sobredosis durante esa operación de Inside Safe, y un médico tuvo que administrar la droga Narcan para revertir la sobredosis
cuatro veces para traerla de vuelta.
Skid Row, el infame centro de la comunidad de personas sin hogar de Los Ángeles, es otra área donde el progreso de Inside Safe es apenas visible. El programa trasladó a 175 personas de campamentos en ese vecindario a habitaciones de hotel, pero apenas hizo mella. Las calles siguen llenas de tiendas de campaña y campamentos improvisados, donde se estima que viven unas 2,000 personas.
Pero para aquellos que viven y trabajan cerca del paso elevado de la 101 que fue el sitio de la primera operación Inside Safe de la ciudad, la diferencia es la noche y el día.
“La gente me decía todo el tiempo que vieron el gimnasio y tenía buenas críticas, pero que no se sentían cómodos o seguros al estacionar su automóvil o estar en ese vecindario”.
-GLENN BURROUGHS, PROPIETARIO DEL GIMNASIO FITNESS SWEAT EQUITY
Durante más de cinco años, los transeúntes se vieron obligados a caminar por la calle para rodear el campamento tomando la acera, dijo Glenn Burroughs, propietario de un gimnasio llamado Sweat Equity Fitness al final de la calle. A veces, la gente armaba tiendas de campaña justo afuera de la puerta del gimnasio y la ciudad tardaba meses en retirarlas, dijo.
“Sé que perdí muchos clientes”, dijo Burroughs. “La gente me decía todo el tiempo que vieron el gimnasio y tenía buenas críticas, pero que no se sentían cómodos o seguros al estacionar su automóvil o estar en ese vecindario”.
Ahora, Burroughs está “completamente conmocionado” de que las aceras hayan permanecido tan limpias después de la operación Inside Safe.
“Ha sido extremadamente agradable”, dijo. Indigente vuelve a las calles
Pero no ha sido una historia de éxito para todos. Aproximadamente a una cuadra del paso elevado, una pequeña carpa verde y plateada se encuentra sola en la acera. En el interior, un hombre de 47 años que se hace llamar Selene, estaba leyendo un cómic de X-Men en una tarde reciente. Había sido parte de la operación Inside Safe y se mudó del campamento a un hotel en diciembre.
Su respiro de vivir al aire libre duró solo unos seis meses.
Después de tener un desacuerdo con el gerente del hotel sobre su tarjeta de acceso que funciona mal, Selene pateó la puerta de su habitación para que pudiera entrar. Como resultado, dijo, le dijeron que se mudara.
Ahora, está de vuelta en la calle. Después de dejarlo en el hotel, los trabajadores comunitarios le dieron una tienda de campaña y lo llevaron de regreso al paso elevado, dijo. Después de armar su tienda, la Policía llegó rápidamente y le dijo que ya no podía acampar allí. Así que se movió una cuadra por el camino.
Después de vivir en la calle durante casi tres décadas, Selene tiene múltiples síntomas de salud mental, incluidos problemas de ira y ataques de ansiedad que hacen temblar todo su cuerpo. Dijo que podría haber usado el asesoramiento, pero que nunca lo recibió mientras estaba en el hotel. Es posible que eso pudiera haber evitado el arrebato que hizo que lo echaran, dijo.
La situación lo hace sentir inútil y sin valor, como “una pérdida de espacio y una pérdida de tiempo”. Aún así, insiste en que merece una oportunidad. “Soy una buena persona”, dijo, con una lágrima rodando por su mejilla.
A pesar de historias como la de Selene, Inside Safe parece un “modelo realmente prometedor”, dijo Nichole Fiore, quien estudia campamentos para personas sin hogar y soluciones como asociada principal de la firma de investigación Abt Associates. La gente está mucho más dispuesta a mudarse de los campamentos a los hoteles que a los refugios tradicionales, dijo, ya que los hoteles ofrecen un espacio privado con una puerta con llave y la posibilidad de llevar más pertenencias.
Pero las personas tienen muchas necesidades más allá de la simple solución de una habitación de hotel temporal, incluida la atención de la salud mental y física y otros servicios, así como una vivienda permanente.

BEYONCÉ'S 'CRAZY IN LOVE' NOT JUST CATCHY – IT'S A LIFE SAVER
IN LOVE' DE BEYONCÉ NO SOLO ES PEGAJOZA: ES UN SALVAVIDAS
Farah Siddiqi Public News Service
Withpopular artists like Beyonce and Taylor Swift touring this summer, the American Heart Association is reminding people some of their favorite songs are for more than singing along. They could actually help save a life.
If you see someone collapse, the Heart Association's advice is to call 911 and begin compressions to the middle of the person's chest, at the rate of 100 to 120 beats per minute. The beat of a memorable song can help keep you on track as you perform CPR.
Madelyn Alexander, marketing communications director for the American Heart Association of Missouri, said they have a list of catchy songs (https://cpr.heart.org/en/ training-programs/community-programs/ be-the-beat) with just the right beat - including Beyonce's "Crazy in Love," and "The Man," by Taylor Swift.
"Using song to make that connection to how fast you need to perform CPR just kind of helps with the memory," Alexander explained. "There's that connection to music that we all have, and if you're humming a song that you know, that keeps the rhythm going so that you can perform CPR until help arrives."
Alexander noted the Heart Association's song list includes popular tunes to resonate with a large audience and have the correct tempo to perform hands-only CPR.
The summer has more people out and about at festivals, concerts and at the pool. Alexander said the Heart Association's summer goal is to create what it calls a "Nation of Lifesavers," by equipping more people with CPR skills. She added the more quickly CPR can begin after someone collapses, the greater the possibility their life will be saved.
"Early in the year, of course, we saw the incident with Damar Hamlin," Alexander recounted. "To see the outcome of that, and that CPR and AEDs were used immediately,
and that his life was saved. So that gives us the importance of learning CPR."
This week, Damar Hamlin presented the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2023 ESPYs to the Buffalo Bills training staff, who helped save his life after he collapsed during a football game in January.

Conartistas populares como Beyonce y Taylor Swift de gira este verano, la American Heart Association le recuerda a la gente que algunas de sus canciones favoritas son para algo más que solo cantar. De hecho, podrían ayudar a salvar una vida.
Si ve a alguien colapsar, el consejo de la Asociación del Corazón es llamar al 911 y comenzar las compresiones en la mitad del pecho de la persona, a un ritmo de 100 a 120 latidos por minuto. El ritmo de una canción memorable puede ayudarle a mantenerse encaminado mientras realiza la RCP.
Madelyn Alexander, directora de comunicaciones de marketing de la American Heart Association of Missouri, dijo que tienen una lista de canciones pegadizas (https://cpr. heart.org/en/training-programs/communityprograms/be-the-beat) con el ritmo perfecto, incluidos "Crazy in Love" de Beyonce y "The Man" de Taylor Swift.
"Utilizar una canción para hacer esa conexión con la rapidez con la que necesitas realizar la RCP ayuda un poco con la memoria", explicó Alexander. "Existe esa conexión con la música que todos tenemos, y si está tarareando una canción que conoce, eso mantiene el ritmo para que pueda realizar la RCP hasta que llegue la ayuda".
Alexander señaló que la lista de canciones de la Heart Association incluye melodías populares para que resuenen con una gran audiencia y tengan el ritmo correcto para realizar la RCP solo con las manos.
El verano tiene más gente en festivales, conciertos y en la alberca. Alexander dijo que el objetivo de verano de la Heart Association es crear lo que llama una "Nación de salvavidas", al equipar a más personas con habilidades de RCP. Agregó que cuanto más rápido pueda comenzar la RCP después de que alguien se desmaye, mayor será la posibilidad de que se salve su vida.
"A principios del año, por supuesto, vimos el incidente con Damar Hamlin", relató Alexander. „Para ver el resultado de eso, y que la RCP y los DEA se usaron de inmediato, y que su vida se salvó. Eso nos enseña la importancia de aprender la RCP".
Esta semana, Damar Hamlin entregó el Premio Pat Tillman al Servicio en los ESPY 2023 al cuerpo técnico de los Buffalo Bills, que ayudó a salvarle la vida después de que colapsara durante un partido de fútbol en enero.

It’stough to accurately document shark sightings, but shark attacks are documented every year. There are two classifications of shark bites: provoked and unprovoked. Provoked bites occur after a person has initiated interaction with the shark, like attempting to touch or feed it. But, according to Gavin Naylor, director of the Florida Program for Shark Research, “Unprovoked bites give us significantly more insight into the biology and behavior of sharks. Changing the environment such that sharks are drawn to the area in search of their natural food source might prompt them to bite humans when they otherwise wouldn’t.”
Globally, unprovoked attacks in 2022 were 57. In 2021, there were 73. During the pandemic, many beaches shut down, but looking at the years preceding 2020, we can more accurately deduce changes in shark attack frequency. Using data from The University of Florida’s International Shark Attack File, the average number of annual unprovoked attacks from 2015 to 2019 was 79.4. Comparing this to 2022, it can be seen that the frequency of shark attacks has not risen significantly, if at all, in the past few years.
In spite of this, due to increasing ocean temperatures sharks are more inclined to travel into coastal waters where tourist activity is common. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, these waters are typically cooler than waters offshore. Warmer waters have higher concentrations of chlorophyll which attracts plankton growth. Many species of fish, rays and crabs feed on plankton. As ocean temperatures rise, northern and coastal waters grow warmer, attracting plankton, fish and other shark bait prey. As a result, sharks are more attracted to these regions than before.
Estimado EarthTalk: Hoy en día se oye hablar mucho de avistamientos y ataques de tiburones; ¿significa esto que los tiburones son más abundantes que nunca y que les va bien en general, o todo lo contrario? -- R.W., Wellfleet, MA ESPAÑOL ENGLISH
Although the number of unprovoked shark attacks around the world has not increased, regions along the United States’ East Coast have seen upticks in shark incidents. In 2022, there were eight shark attacks in New York after three consecutive years of zero cases. In 2021, Florida experienced 28 shark attacks following a three-year-average of 17.67 annual incidents. Because of these increases, there may be more media coverage on shark attacks, leading people to believe that there are more sharks overall.
Though shark sightings may be becoming more frequent, shark numbers are dwindling. Many shark species are struggling in their native coral reefs and marine ecosystems. According to the journal Science, “Five of the most common reef shark species have experienced a decline of up to 73 percent.” In addition,
The Washington Post states that “a third of all sharks, rays and related species are at risk of going extinct.” As a result, scientists are concerned that species lower on
the food chain will overpopulate without the presence of sharks as natural predators.
Humans are responsible for many factors that may be causing a decline in shark populations. Overfishing deprives sharks of one of their primary food sources. Millions of sharks get entangled in fishing nets and longlines every year. Plus, some 73 million sharks are killed for the shark fin and meat industry.

Esdifícil documentar con exactitud los avistamientos de tiburones, pero los ataques de tiburón se documentan todos los años. Hay dos clasificaciones de mordeduras de tiburón: provocadas y no provocadas. Las mordeduras provocadas se producen después de que una persona haya iniciado una interacción con el tiburón, como intentar tocarlo o alimentarlo. Pero, según Gavin Naylor, director del Programa de Florida para la Investigación de Tiburones, "las mordeduras no provocadas nos permiten conocer mucho mejor la biología y el comportamiento de los tiburones. Cambiar el entorno de modo que los tiburones se sientan atraídos por la zona en busca de su fuente natural de alimento podría incitarles a morder a los humanos cuando de otro modo no lo harían".
A nivel mundial, en 2022 se produjeron 57 ataques no provocados. En 2021, fueron 73.
Durante la pandemia, muchas playas cerraron, pero si observamos los años anteriores a 2020, podemos deducir con mayor precisión los cambios en la frecuencia de los ataques de tiburones. Usando datos del Archivo Internacional de Ataques de Tiburones de la Universidad de Florida, el número medio de ataques anuales no provocados entre 2015 y 2019 fue de 79,4. Comparando esto con 2022, se puede ver que la frecuencia de los ataques de tiburones no ha aumentado significativamente, si es que lo ha hecho, en los últimos años.
A pesar de ello, debido al aumento de la temperatura de los océanos, los tiburones son más propensos a adentrarse en aguas costeras donde la actividad turística es habitual. Según la Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica, estas aguas suelen ser más frías que las de alta mar. Las aguas más cálidas tienen mayores concentraciones de clorofila, que atrae el crecimiento del plancton. Muchas especies de peces, rayas y cangrejos se alimentan
de plancton. A medida que aumenta la temperatura del océano, las aguas septentrionales y costeras se calientan, atrayendo plancton, peces y otras presas de los tiburones. Como resultado, los tiburones se sienten más atraídos que antes por estas regiones.
Aunque el número de ataques de tiburones no provocados en todo el mundo no ha aumentado, las regiones de la costa este de Estados Unidos han visto repuntes en los incidentes con tiburones. En 2022, hubo ocho ataques de tiburón en Nueva York después de tres años consecutivos de cero casos. En 2021, Florida experimentó 28 ataques de tiburón tras una media de tres años de 17,67 incidentes anuales. Debido a estos aumentos, puede haber más cobertura mediática sobre los ataques de tiburones, lo que lleva a la gente a creer que hay más tiburones en general.
Aunque los avistamientos de tiburones sean cada vez más frecuentes, su número está disminuyendo. Muchas especies de tiburones están luchando en sus arrecifes de coral y ecosistemas marinos nativos. Según la revista Science, "Cinco de las especies más comunes de tiburones de arrecife han experimentado un declive de hasta el 73%". Además, The Washington Post afirma que "un tercio de todos los tiburones, rayas y especies afines corren el riesgo de extinguirse". Como consecuencia, a los científicos les preocupa que las especies situadas más abajo en la cadena alimentaria se sobrepoblen sin la presencia de los tiburones como depredadores naturales.
Los seres humanos son responsables de muchos factores que pueden estar provocando un descenso de las poblaciones de tiburones. La sobrepesca priva a los tiburones de una de sus principales fuentes de alimento. Cada año, millones de tiburones quedan atrapados en redes de pesca y palangres. Además, se matan unos 73 millones de tiburones para la industria de aletas y carne de tiburón.

MORE PARKS, TREES MAY ADD NEARLY 1 MILLION YEARS TO LA COUNTY LIFE EXPECTANCY
A UCLA study confirms what the urban greening nonprofit TreePeople has seen for 50 years: environmental inequality worsens public health in LA County.
Selen Ozturk Ethnic Media Services
ArecentUCLA study found that bringing green space in LA County to median levels could add up to 908,800 years of collective life expectancy to residents in under-resourced communities.
The peer-reviewed study, published in Environment International, is the first in the U.S. to combine census tract life expectancy data with neighborhood vegetation data, providing Southern California policymakers with a model of reducing health inequality by greening low-income neighborhoods.
Researchers found that bringing greenery to median levels in each census tract would bring between 570,300 and 908,800 years of collective life expectancy to disadvantaged residents. Greening wealthy Westside neighborhoods was not found to significantly affect expectancy after controlling for variables like smoking, obesity and physical inactivity.
Keep cool, plant trees
For some, however, the findings of this study are not new: TreePeople, a nonprofit which describes itself as “the largest environmental movement headquartered in Southern California,” has been researching, restoring, and replanting urban greenery in environmentally stressed LA County areas for 50 years.
Eileen Garcia, Director of Community Forestry at TreePeople, said that since 1973, over three million volunteers have planted trees and seen firsthand how a community’s green inequality worsens environmental and public health conditions like pollution and heat-related illness.
The UCLA study confirmed that trees were the most effective component of urban forestation when it came to heat mitigation, keeping ground-level temperatures about 2 degrees Fahrenheit cooler with each 10% of canopy cover. Shrubs cooled by 0.7
Fahrenheit with each 10% of cover.
In LA County, which spans 10 million people across 4,000 square miles, two-thirds of the Black and Latino population lives in areas with disproportionately less green vegetation — namely east LA, south LA, and far north areas.
The UCLA study found that merely expanding park access to LA County medians would add 164,700 years of life expectancy to the region. Latino and Black residents would receive about 72%, or 118,000 of these years.
Though TreePeople mostly focuses its efforts on drought-tolerant street tree species like crepe myrtle and gold medallion, parks — like Coldwater Canyon in the Santa Monica Mountains, where the organization is based — offer a plantable space for larger native species, like oaks.
Concrete jungle
The areas of LA most needing reforestation, however, are not only the lowest in life expectancy, but also the least plantable. In a city where over half the surfaces are dark concrete or asphalt, which absorbs up to 90% of solar radiation, this inequality is deadly. While the study found that life expectancy in financially and verdantly green Beverly Hills is as high as 90, the median in south LA communities less than 15 miles away is 77.
Many of these communities “suffer shade inequity presented by low tree canopy coverage due to the fact that they’re flanked by freeways and sit in a basin,” explained Garcia. “Where it’s heavily polluted, it’s even harder to plant around a major roadway or warehouse.”
“Furthermore,” she added, researchers looking to raise life expectancy through urban greening sometimes overlook the fact that “mountains are the lungs of our city. Reforestation efforts must extend to burn areas around LA.”
Addressing air quality issues
In light of ever-worsening wildfire seasons, this focus is especially pertinent. The Air Quality Life Index, an annual report from the University of Chicago, found last June that particulate air pollution — including wildfire smoke, which accounts for up to half of all fine-particle pollution in the Western U.S. — removes over two years from the global average life expectancy (more than cigarettes, alcohol, or terrorism).
That same report found that 29 of the 30 counties with the worst particulate pollution in 2020 were in California, including LA.
To counter this, TreePeople obtained a grant through CalFIRE in 2020 to plant and maintain 1,000 trees in the southern city of Lynwood (next to Watts, where the organization also planted 700 trees in 2021). The funding allowed volunteers to utilize Light Detection and Ranging technology, scanning the city with lowflying aircraft to determine ideal tree topography.
Alongside this technology, feedback from Lynwood community allowed volunteers to focus planting in high-need areas, not only creating a barrier against pollution near freeways, but also creating shaded paths to schools and city facilities. The response to this was so positive that, even as the maintenance phase for this project continues, TreePeople is currently seeking grants to fund more trees in Lynwood.
“The City Council approached us asking how we can work together again, and we gave 250 fruit trees to the city. We even inspired community members to advocate for the transformation of an empty lot and dumping ground into a community garden,” said Garcia. “Our presence in the communities we help doesn’t end when we’re done planting, as we water and maintain each tree for three to five years.”
Environmental messaging
Alongside further planting efforts — in July 2023, TreePeople began distributing 2,000 shade trees and planting 4,000 more trees in under-greened areas with the South LA Eco-Lab — addressing mixed environmental messages has also been key to enriching the lives of LA County residents.
“This is often overlooked by policymakers,” said Garcia. “If you plant a tree in someone’s yard, they have to care for it once a week, and yet one of the most common messages they hear is not to water their yard in the summer or during a drought,” said Garcia. “They’re not being asked to not water trees, just to not water lawns. We’ve partnered with the Metropolitan Water District to bridge this communication gap.”
“Everyone wants a green neighborhood, they want access to unpolluted air and they want the cooling benefits of shade,” she added. “The data shows that the challenges are systemic, they’re being faced in communities that have been historically redlined. Overcoming these challenges is deeper-rooted than planting a tree; that’s where it starts.”

MÁS PARQUES Y ÁRBOLES PUEDEN SUMAR CASI 1 MILLÓN DE AÑOS A LA ESPERANZA DE VIDA DEL CONDADO DE LOS ÁNGELES
Un estudio de la UCLA confirma lo que la organización sin fines de lucro de ecologización urbana TreePeople ha visto durante 50 años: la desigualdad ambiental empeora la salud pública en el condado de Los Ángeles.
Selen Ozturk Ethnic Media Services
Unestudio reciente de UCLA encontró que llevar los espacios verdes en el condado de Los Ángeles a niveles medios podría agregar hasta 908,800 años de esperanza de vida colectiva para los residentes en comunidades de escasos recursos.
El estudio revisado por pares, publicado en Environment International, es el primero en los EE. UU. en combinar los datos de esperanza de vida de los distritos censales con los datos de la vegetación de los vecindarios, lo que brinda a los legisladores del sur de California un modelo para reducir la desigualdad en la salud mediante la ecologización de los vecindarios de bajos ingresos.
No se encontró que la ecologización de los vecindarios ricos del lado oeste afectara significativamente la expectativa después de controlar variables como fumar, obesidad y la inactividad física.
Manténgase fresco, plante árboles
Sin embargo, para algunos, los hallazgos de este estudio no son nuevos: TreePeople, una organización sin fines de lucro que se describe a sí misma como “el movimiento ambiental más grande con sede en el sur de California”, ha estado investigando, restaurando y replantando vegetación urbana en áreas del condado de Los Ángeles con problemas ambientales durante 50 años.
Eileen García, directora de silvicultura comunitaria en TreePeople, dijo que desde 1973, más de tres millones de voluntarios han plantado árboles y han visto de primera mano cómo la desigualdad verde de una comunidad empeora las condiciones ambientales y de salud pública, como la contaminación y las enfermedades relacionadas con el calor.
El estudio de la UCLA confirmó que los árboles eran el componente más efectivo de la forestación urbana en lo que respecta a la mitigación del calor, manteniendo las temperaturas a nivel del suelo alrededor de 2 grados Fahrenheit más bajas con cada 10 % de cobertura de dosel. Los arbustos se enfriaron por 0.7 Fahrenheit con cada 10% de cobertura.
En el condado de Los Ángeles, que abarca 10 millones de personas en 4,000 millas cuadradas, dos tercios de la población negra y latina vive en áreas con una vegetación
desproporcionadamente menor, es decir, el este de Los Ángeles, el sur de Los Ángeles y las áreas del extremo norte.
El estudio de UCLA encontró que simplemente expandir el acceso al parque a las medianas del condado de Los Ángeles agregaría 164,700 años de esperanza de vida a la región. Los residentes latinos y negros recibirían alrededor del 72%, o 118.000 de estos años.
Aunque TreePeople enfoca sus esfuerzos principalmente en especies de árboles callejeros tolerantes a la sequía como el mirto crespón y el medallón dorado, los parques -- como Coldwater Canyon en las montañas de Santa Mónica -- donde tiene su sede la organización, ofrecen un espacio plantable para especies nativas más grandes, como los robles.
Jungla de concreto
Las áreas de Los Ángeles que más necesitan reforestación, sin embargo, no solo son las más bajas en esperanza de vida, sino también las menos plantables. En una ciudad donde más de la mitad de las superficies son de hormigón oscuro o asfalto, que absorbe hasta el 90% de la radiación solar, esta desigualdad es mortal. Si bien el estudio encontró que la esperanza de vida en Beverly Hills, económica y ecologicamente verde, es de hasta 90, la mediana en las comunidades del sur de Los Ángeles a menos de 15 millas de distancia es de 77.
Muchas de estas comunidades "sufren desigualdad de sombra presentada por una baja cobertura de árboles debido al hecho de que están flanqueadas por autopistas y se asientan en una
cuenca", explicó García. “"En areas muy contaminadas, es aún más difícil plantar alrededor de una carretera principal o un almacén".
“Además”, agregó, los investigadores que buscan aumentar la esperanza de vida a través de la ecologización urbana a veces pasan por alto el hecho de que “las montañas son los pulmones de nuestra ciudad. Los esfuerzos de reforestación deben extenderse a las áreas quemadas alrededor de Los Ángeles”.
Abordar los problemas de calidad del aire
A la luz de las temporadas de incendios forestales que empeoran cada vez más, este enfoque es especialmente pertinente. El Air Quality Life Index, un informe anual de la Universidad de Chicago, descubrió en junio pasado que la contaminación del aire por partículas -- incluido el humo de los incendios forestales, representa hasta la mitad de toda la contaminación por partículas finas en el oeste de los EE. UU. — elimina más de dos años de la esperanza de vida media mundial (más que los cigarrillos, el alcohol o el terrorismo).
Ese mismo informe encontró que 29 de los 30 condados con la peor contaminación por partículas en 2020 estaban en California, incluido Los Ángeles.
Para contrarrestar esto, TreePeople obtuvo una subvención a través de CalFIRE en 2020 para plantar y mantener 1000 árboles en la ciudad sureña de Lynwood (junto a Watts, donde la organización también plantó 700 árboles en 2021). Los fondos permitieron a los voluntarios utilizar la
tecnología de detección de luz y rango, escaneando la ciudad con aviones que vuelan a baja altura para determinar la topografía ideal de los árboles.
Junto con esta tecnología, los comentarios de la comunidad de Lynwood permitieron a los voluntarios enfocarse en plantar en áreas de alta necesidad, no solo creando una barrera contra la contaminación cerca de las carreteras, sino también creando caminos sombreados hacia las escuelas y las instalaciones de la ciudad. La respuesta a esto fue tan positiva que, incluso mientras continúa la fase de mantenimiento de este proyecto, TreePeople actualmente está buscando subvenciones para financiar más árboles en Lynwood.
“El Ayuntamiento se acercó a nosotros preguntándonos cómo podemos volver a trabajar juntos, y le regalamos 250 árboles frutales a la ciudad. Incluso inspiramos a los miembros de la comunidad a abogar por la transformación de un lote baldío y un vertedero en un jardín comunitario”, dijo García. "Nuestra presencia en las comunidades a las que ayudamos no termina cuando terminamos de plantar, ya que regamos y mantenemos cada árbol durante tres a cinco años".
Mensajes ambientales
Junto con más esfuerzos de plantación -- en julio de 2023, TreePeople comenzó a distribuir 2000 árboles de sombra y a plantar 4000 árboles más en áreas poco verdes con South LA Eco-Lab -abordar mensajes ambientales mixtos también ha sido clave para enriquecer las vidas de los residentes del condado de Los Ángeles.
“Esto a menudo es pasado por alto por los legisladores”, dijo García. “Si plantas un árbol en el jardín de alguien, tienen que cuidarlo una vez a la semana y, sin embargo, uno de los mensajes más comunes que escuchan es que no rieguen su jardín en el verano o durante una sequía”, dijo García. “No se les pide que no rieguen los árboles, solo que no rieguen el césped. Nos hemos asociado con el Distrito Metropolitano de Agua para cerrar esta brecha de comunicación”.
“Todos quieren un vecindario verde, quieren acceso a aire no contaminado y quieren los beneficios refrescantes de la sombra”, agregó. “Los datos muestran que los desafíos son sistémicos, se enfrentan en comunidades históricamente marcadas. Superar estos desafíos tiene raíces más profundas que plantar un árbol; ahí es donde comienza”.

OVERCOMING CARE BARRIERS
DURING MINORITY MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH
Eric Tegethoff Public News Service
July is national minority mental health awareness month, spotlighting the unique struggles in health care settings for communities for color in the United States.
Dr. Trenton James is a psychiatrist at Kaiser Permanente in Seattle. He said Black people are less likely to receive treatment for mental illness.
"Black Americans don't experience mental illness more than the general population," said James. "Yet Black adults are one of the highest groups suffering disability among those untreated for mental illness."
James said poverty is one major barrier to treatment. About 27% of Black Americans live below the poverty line, compared with 10% of white Americans.
James said there also is a stigma around seeking treatment, although he noted that people became more open to talking about mental health during the pandemic.
James said Black patients often receive different, less effective treatment than
their white counterparts.
"Black Americans are less likely to be offered evidenced-based medication treatment or psychotherapy," said James, "or even to receive guideline-consistent care."
James said it is important to be specific when considering how to overcome barriers to mental health treatment in certain communities.
"Marginalized communities really need tailor-made solutions," said James, "because even though we can offer services and resources that are equal across the board, they may not necessarily meet the needs of every individual group within that community."

Julioes el mes nacional de la concientizacion sobre la salud mental de las minorías, que destaca las dificultades específicas de las comunidades de color en los centros de atención medica de los Estados Unidos.
El doctor Trenton James es psiquiatra de Kaiser Permanente en Seattle. Afirma que las personas negras tienen menos probabilidades de recibir tratamiento para enfermedades mentales.
"Los estadounidenses de raza negra no padecen más enfermedades mentales que la población en general," asegura James. "Sin embargo, los adultos negros son uno de los grupos que más sufren de discapacidades entre quienes no reciben tratamiento por en-
fermedad mental."
James afirma que la pobreza es uno de los principales obstáculos para el tratamiento. Alrededor del 27% de los estadounidenses de raza negra viven por debajo del umbral de la pobreza, en comparación con el 10% de los estadounidenses de raza blanca.
James afirma que también existe un estigma en torno a la búsqueda de tratamiento, aunque señala que la gente se mostró más abierta a hablar de salud mental durante la pandemia.
James afirma que los pacientes negros suelen recibir un tratamiento diferente y menos eficaz que sus homólogos blancos.
"Los estadounidenses de raza negra tienen menos probabilidades de que se les ofrezca un tratamiento farmacológico o psicoterapéutico basado en pruebas," asevera James, "o incluso de recibir una atención acorde con las directrices."
James dice que es importante ser especifico al considerar como superar las barreras para el tratamiento de salud mental en ciertas comunidades.
"Las comunidades marginadas realmente necesitan soluciones a medida," asegura James, "aunque podemos ofrecer servicios y recursos que son iguales en todos los ámbitos, es posible que no se satisfagan las necesidades individuales de cada grupo dentro de esa comunidad."

WARNING – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divide, the language
in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e. joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

Dept: 13
FROM: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
TO: LETICIA MARIE SALAZAR (aka LETICIA CHAVEZ SALAZAR), and her attorney of record, if any
By order of this Court you are hereby cited to appear before the Hon. Jackie Arroyo, judge
presiding in Dept. 13 of the Court located at 191 N. First Street, San Jose CA 95113, on August 23, 2023 at 11:00 a.m., then and there to show cause, if you have any, why UNIQUE JOYCE MARIE MANCILLAS, should not be declared free from your parental control and custody, for the purpose of freeing UNIQUE JOYCE MARIE MANCILLAS for placement for adoption. The following information concerns rights and procedures that relate to this proceeding to declare minor free from your parental control and custody as set forth in Family Code § 7860, et seq.:
1. At the beginning of the proceeding, the Court will consider whether or not the interest of the minor requires appointment of counsel. If the Court finds that the interests of the minor do require such protection, the Court will appoint counsel to represent him, whether or not he is able to afford counsel. The minor will not be present in Court unless he requests or the Court so orders.
2. If a parent of the minor appears without counsel and is unable to afford counsel, the Court must appoint counsel for the parent, unless the parent knowingly and intelligently waives the right to be represented by counsel. The Court will not appoint the same attorney to represent both the minor and his parent.
3. The Court may appoint either the Public Defender or private counsel. If private counsel is appointed, he/she will receive a reasonable sum for compensation and expenses, the amount of which will be determined by the Court. That amount must be paid by the real parties in interest, but not by the minor, is proportioned as the Court believes to be just. If, however, the Court finds that any of the real parties in interest cannot afford counsel, the amount will be paid by the county.
4. The Court may continue the proceeding for not more than Thirty (30) days as necessary to appoint counsel and become acquainted with the case.
