University of California San Francisco Study of People Experiencing Homelessness

The University of California San Francisco’s Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative (BHHI) recently published the largest representative study of homelessness in the United States since the mid-1990s.

The California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness (CASPEH) was designed to all adults 18 years and older experiencing homelessness in California.

CASPEH includes nearly 3,200 administered questionnaires and 365 in-depth interviews with adults experiencing homelessness in eight regions of the state, representing urban, rural, and suburban areas.

The study provides a comprehensive look at the causes and consequences time with no drama or danger. They were dancing, singing, and enjoying a beautiful Saturday. The cherry on top was seeing families made of multiple generations listening to music and vibing together.

Events like this are exactly what of homelessness in California and recommends policy changes to shape programs in response.

The study found that, for most of the participants, the cost of housing had become unsustainable. Participants reported a median monthly household income of $960 in the six months prior to becoming homeless. Most believed that rental subsidies or onetime financial assistance would have prevented their homelessness.

The study also found that the state’s homeless population is aging, with 47% of all adults aged 50 or older, and that Black and Native Americans are dramatically overrepresented.

“The results of the study confirm that far too many Californians experience homelessness because they cannot afford housing,” said Margot Kushel, MD, Director, UCSF BHHI and principal investigator of CASPEH. “

CASPEH recommendations can be found on the final page of their executive summary.

State Announces New Action to Attack Organized Retail Crime

in California

California Attorney General Rob Bonta, with retailers and online marketplaces representing a large share of retail and online business, signed an agreement committing to specific actions aimed at addressing the growing issue of organized retail crime.

Organized retail crime refers to large-scale theft and fraud by individuals or groups who steal retail goods from the retail supply chain with the intent to resell, distribute, or return stolen merchandise for financial gain. In some cases, resale may occur through third-party online platforms. California and other states have seen a pattern of organized retail crime.

The agreement will help advance information-sharing and detection of lost items from various stages of the supply chain, including cargo and retail goods, that may end up for sale in online marketplaces.

“The fact is, we are stronger when we work together as a united front,” said Bonta. “Organized retail crime costs businesses, retailers, and consumers -- and puts the public at risk. This new partnership signals a robust and genuine commitment shared by the retail marketplace and law enforcement to crack down on these crimes. Whether it is law enforcement, online marketplaces, or retailers -- we will not tolerate organized retail crime in our state.”

Inglewood needs to keep the current residents feeling catered to and cared about. It gathers everyone in the community to come to celebrate the city, the musical acts, and black and brown food and businesses surrounding our culture. It allows residents to feel as though they are still being thought of even during the new developments of the city. There’s a sense of confidence that the city does care about its residents, and that they do have a place in the new Inglewood.

Overall, the event was beautiful and well put together. The musical acts brought a calmness and togetherness with multiple generations being able to enjoy. The city did an amazing job with this event, and we all hope to see many more. Many more opportunities for members of the community to celebrate and enjoy more family time like this.
