HAS A SECTION 8 LANDLORD ASKED YOU FOR CASH? A BRIBE TO GET INTO AN APARTMENT OR CASH IN ADDITION TO YOUR RENT TO STAY?
We're hearing about new Section 8 voucher holders desperately looking for apartments and encountering landlords who are asking them for cash in addition to money they would get from City of LA, County of LA, City of Burbank... We mean cash you'll never see again.
Section 8 voucher holders KNOW THIS IS NOT LEGAL but are afraid of loosing their vouchers that they waited so long for if they do not find housing.
They know that if they get the landlord in trouble they will not get the apartment and other Section 8 tenants renting from the same people could also have trouble. NO ONE WANTS TO GO BACK TO THE STREET.

From Olympics to the streets: Medalist homeless in California - SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS - Bruce Newman reports
..."Job, who pronounces his name like the Bible's long-suffering character, had become the first high school swimmer to break the one-minute barrier in the 100-yard breaststroke on March 29, 1968. Forty-five years later to the day, Job was released from the Santa Clara County main jail after his arrest for interfering with firefighters, who, according to a Palo Alto Police Department spokesman, were attempting to extinguish a fire Job had built in a restaurant parking lot.

HIV POSITIVE AND HOMELESS IN LA - MARK and OTHER HOMELESS HIV POSITIVE PEOPLE !
CHIRPA LA for HIV HOUSING PROGRAM INFORMATION link here
This post is for Mark who contacted us about being just evicted and homeless in PASADENA California and anyone else in his situation.
Hi Mark! We posted your comment and hope that you will recieve some responses from people who have experience.
We discovered CHIRP as the ultimate referral place for HIV. It's tied in with AIDS HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION.
We have met other people who were evicted when they become ill with HIV or AIDS, unable to keep their jobs because of hospital time. (If this is you, you might have a law suit if your temination or eviction was illegal.) We don't know what your sexuality is or if you got HIV from sex, drugs, rock and roll ... if you are in a vehicle or what. We know that some of these people were PRIORITY LISTED.
The first thing is, how we wish you had been able to make dozens of phone calls and run around BEFORE you were evicted. Now it will be more difficult on you. We want you to use the SEARCH feature of this blogger to search for words like HIV, AIDS, or PASADENA. Be aware that your health status is important to reveal to any intake people or social workers you encounter.
You will find that you are in a sea of programs and a sea of homeless people bigger than the programs. You will find that if you are already on Disability, you will have an easier time finding a program that will take you. You'll probably go see a lot of people. Your hopes will go up and your hopelessness will go down.
So our first suggestion is that you STAY IN PASADENA for now, since that is home base even if you're on the outside looking in. You want to inquirer at UNION STATION UNION STATION PASADENA HOMELESS .
Next, if you are a VETERAN, more red white and blue tape but certainly go to the VA. They say they are trying to totally eradicate veteran homelessness and they have space in more than one shelter in the LA area.
You can also contact Chirp and find out if you qualify for any referals.
You can be HIV positive and not be gay but especially if you are gay we think you should go to the CITY OF WEST HOLLYWOOD.
WEHO CITY and RESPONSE TO HOMELESSNESS
Finally, call your DOCTOR, and go to the closest COUNTY HOSPITAL or other HOSPITAL THAT TAKES YOUR INSURANCE, and ask to speak to the Social Workers there!
Best of Luck to you!

ADAM GOMEZ - THIRTEEN - COLLECTS 50 BLANKETS FOR LOS ANGELES HOMELESS
"Maria Clara Rodado-Kim, his Spanish teacher of three years, is a witness to Gomez going out there to help people in need.
“He was really adamant about finding blankets,” says Rodado-Kim. “He asked me ‘Please, do you have any blankets you can donate? In 7th grade, for someone so young, it’s amazing — to help people in need…What I loved about it is that it made the other kids want to help also. My boys also started asking.”

ARE YOU HOMELESS BECAUSE YOU LEFT A RELIGIOUS CULT?
We've heard of people running to cults after being evicted, but we've also heard of people who escaped cults who became homeless.
As often happens, a cult expects you to cut ties with family and friends you had before the cult. Then if you leave it, these people are not available for support or for practical help. Cults are sometimes Christian organizations. We've heard of one Christian shelter/homeless program that makes new inductees remain cut off from the world for one month.
A cult can act as a family but at what cost?

TOM AMMIANO's HOMELESS BILL OF RIGHTS MOVES FORWARD TOWARD ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
RAW STORY : HOMELESS BILL OF RIGHTS link - one of many stories hitting the Internet this morning. See below for our commentary on Bill Handel, KFI Radio's, commentary this morning.
BILL HANDEL FKI AM 640 RADIO LINK
*******************************************
The bill, introduced by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano of San Francisco, would allow homeless people in California to legally sit, sleep and ask for donations in public without the threat of being arrested or cited. The bill would also allow homeless to reside in parks 24/7, regardless of their operating hours.
Ammiano explained the bill’s primary goal was to stop the criminalization of homelessness. Bill supporter and Coalition on Homelessness organizer Lisa Marie Alatorre told the SF Examiner:
“This bill calls for the immediate end of criminalizing homelessness. We need to stop allowing that to be our response to economic problems.”
The proposal lays out a “bill of rights” for people who are homeless including the right to:
“… move freely, rest, solicit donations, pray, meditate, or practice religion, and to eat, share, accept, or give food and water in public spaces without being subject to criminal or civil sanctions, harassment or arrest.”
If passed, the state would also be required to set up “health and hygiene centers” to provide showers and restrooms for the homeless 24 hours a day. Additionally, legal assistance must be available for anyone issued a citation for an activity related to their housing status.
While the state would foot the bill for these costs, the final price tag is still not known. Ammiano told the committee:
“Citations, arrests and jail time do not solve homelessness. They just route crucial public dollars that could be spent on housing to an already impacted court and corrections system.”
The new proposal would override San Francisco’s sit-lie ordinance passed in 2010 by voters. Sit-lie ordinances, though, would remain enforceable in cities that meet certain criteria, including having available public housing and have not been identified as “an area of concentrated unemployment.”
But sit-lie ordinances would be enforceable if strict criteria are met: the county provides adequate welfare assistance, the city isn’t identified by the U.S. Department of Labor as an area of concentrated unemployment, and the county’s public housing waiting list contains fewer than 50 people.
Assemblyman Donald Wagner, who voted against the bill Tuesday, told the committee:
“The homeless situation in San Francisco is going to be very much different from the homeless situation in Fresno, Los Angeles or central Orange County. By Sacramento passing this law, it doesn’t allow those cities to fix their own problems.”
While many local governments and business groups are in opposition of the bill, they’re probably thankful the current amended version of the bill no longer includes the controversial provision that would have legalized public urination by the homeless.
The legislation, passed by the Assembly Judiciary Committee with a 7-2 vote, will now head to the Assembly Committee on Appropriations...
*****************************************
We heard the news as part of Bill Handel's Commentary on KFI this morning. He mentioned that people say to him that he hates the homeless. Well, we did get the impression, but we think Bill is mostly IGNORANT like a lot of people who rarely come in contact with homeless. As a lawyer Bill has legal knowledge that a lot of people don't have. He mentioned that this comes down to being a revenue issue. He mentioned that while SIDEWALKS are public property, what does a business owner do when some homeless guy is peeing on the sidewalk in front of your business. He also mentioned that Amiano sees this as a HUMANITARIAN ISSUE and so there will be LOCAL HYGIENE STATIONS open 24 hours a day so that homeless can have a place to wash, pee, whatever.
Needless to say we are all for THE HOMELESS BILL OF RIGHTS and feel grateful that Tom Ammiano had the guts to bring up the issue. He is representing ALL THE PEOPLE including HOMELESS PEOPLE, who are usually THE POOREST OF THE POOR. He's right that people who were never criminals are considered criminals just because they have nowhere else to go. Homeless people are transient because they are moved along by police wherever they go. Being harrassed from one community to the next, trying to stay out of trouble means walking till you can't walk anymore, going hungry or panhandling for money to feed yourself, and being under constant stress. Then some people yell at you to go get a job.

VOICE OF ORANGE COUNTY : UC IRVINE CONFERENCE FOCUS ON CRIMINALIZATION OF HOMELESSNESS
VOICE OF ORANGE COUNTY - article link here
... "Laws allowing police to ticket and arrest homeless people for sleeping in a car, sitting on the sidewalk — or even leaving their bags on the sidewalk while they use a bathroom — are part of a larger strategy to criminalize homelessness and by extension, poverty, according to attorneys and advocates for homeless people at a conference at the UC Irvine School of Law.
The daylong conference, called “Opposing the Criminalization of Homelessness: Building a Human Rights Framework,” drew about 100 people Saturday, including lawyers, activists, law students and academics.
Conference speakers described an aggressive campaign of arrests on charges from littering to loitering in order to drive away homeless residents of Los Angeles’ Skid Row neighborhood. Panelists also discussed efforts to disguise the problem of homelessness in Orange County.
“We’re good at hiding it and hiding it really well,” said Renato Izquieta, attorney at the Legal Aid Society of Orange County. “You will find homeless in every park in this county, including San Clemente, Laguna Beach and more.” .."

"Many people are surprised to learn that the hardest part of homeless-ness isn’t always the lack of material goods—especially an apartment, condo or house. Scores of homeless people say lack of possessions is only a small part of surviving on city streets. Most major battles are due to the lack of life’s intangibles. For example, most homeless people have great difficulty filling each day with meaningful activities."
