+++ Supes, City Council, City Mangler had no walk-in Winter Shelter<\/strong> as rainstorms approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n +++ MHCAN, Downtown Street Team, operational drinking fountains, warming centers\u2026gone<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n +++ Escalating police attacks<\/strong> on homeless survival encampments are real threats to community well-being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n +++ This year\u2019s homeless dead list had no street or last names at the Portuguese Hall Housing Matters memorial. Puff, the homeless dead are invisible! <\/p>\n\n\n\n +++ 2025\u2019s Half-Named Victims: Katelyn L, Daniel B, Abbie S, Jesus D, Yesenia S, Matthew S, Omar L, John F, Bonifacio A, Guzmaro J, Devin S, Tommy B, Terrance F, Ryan H Scott R, Warren T, Jeremiah V, Ivy B, Michael S,John K, Nathan B, David D, Jeffrey R, Matthew L, Lance M, Arturo D, Michael A, Paul A, Karyn S, Birge S, Steven M, Daniel S, Fred A, Carol E, Jose C<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n +++ Brent Adams of the one-time Warming Shelter says: <\/strong> WHAT THE FUCK!? For 10 years in a row, the shelter I founded and ran opened during rain and cold weather. Warming Center Program would activate based on forecasts of more than 1″ of rain or temperatures below 38 degrees. There is currently a forecast of 4 out of 5 days with more than 1″ of rain, yet the “People First” shelter has nothing planned. The program I ran operated in Santa Cruz and Watsonville and received less than 5% of it’s operating budget from governmental sources – while the current system is 100% city and county funded. We as a community need to demand better for those who sleep outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Write in your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices for survival locations as well as suggestions of your own. <\/strong> Ross Camp?…..
