Albuquerque’s Mayor Said Arrests Were “Not the Solution” to Homelessness. Yet Jail Bookings Have Skyrocketed. Under Tim Keller’s leadership, the city has increasingly criminalized conduct associated with homelessness, causing a growing number of people on the streets to be arrested and jailed.

More Arrests and Jail Time: Citations can eventually lead to arrests. The proportion of people booked into the county jail who are classified as homeless has skyrocketed, to around 49%. www.propublica.org/article/albu...

First phase of massive housing project set to break ground at this East Bay BART station This 240-unit affordable apartment building will include 60 units of housing for the homeless in Oakland. It moves forward even as many market-rate projects have stalled.

Any time government tells a person, your presence is unacceptable in our community, it is a civil rights issue. Any time local governments demonize one segment of society in order to control their movements and justify their removal from public spaces, it is a civil rights issue.

Trump administration demands citizenship checks for S.F. public housing tenants The request comes as part of a new directive from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

As all eyes turn to the Bay for the Super Bowl, we recognize this is a critical moment to bolster our community preparedness.

Super Bowl festivities are taking over downtown. What does that mean for S.F.’s homeless residents? The 60th Super Bowl will be held at Levi’s Stadium on Feb. 8, bringing thousands to San Francisco’s embattled downtown neighborhoods to stay and for a run of fan events.

“Something that we expect from the repetitive cycle with these events is that the city tries to clear out any signs of visible poverty,” Illa said. “Either we’re offering permanent housing solutions to people, or we’re pushing them from block to block.”

A Tech Bro Think Tank Is Trying to Roll Back Evidence-Based Homelessness Policy Housing First policies are being replaced with punitive reforms that could push 170,000 people back into homelessness.

Many homeless encampments have been cleared, but advocates say that's not a solution Homeless encampment sweeps have been increasing since a pivotal Supreme Court decision in 2024. But medical experts and advocates for unhoused people say those sweeps have hidden health costs.

We don't have a homeless problem. We have a problem that we can see homeless people. And if we can make it so we don't see so many of these people, we've solved the problem. People get hurt. www.npr.org/2026/01/19/n...
