\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \nWhile other counties have been using federal and state funding to \nhouse vulnerable homeless people, Santa Cruz has not–in any appreciable\n numbers. While the broader community is directed to shelter in place \nand not gather in groups larger than 10, homeless\n “shelters” unsafely cram folks into one or two rooms. I asked specific \nquestions and got unsatisfactory answers.\n\n
\n\nOn Friday April 10th, after a massive outbreak of COVID-19 in two \nSan Francisco shelters, health professionals held a Press Conference \ndemanding motel\/hotel shelters immediately:\n

\nOn Friday April 17th, I e-mailed a letter to city officials and health \nworkers including Mayor Cummings and City Manager Bernal asking a series\n of questions.\n

\nOn Saturday April 18th, Mayor Cummings responded by forwarding me the \ncity latest “update” which answered almost none of the questions and \nindicated no intention of stepping up any attempt to house even the more\n vulnerable homeless people in any numbers.\n

\nI followed up with a letter urging more information. (reprinted below)

\nOn Saturday April 18th, Governor Newsom called on all counties not using the FEMA and roomkey funding to do so immediately:\n\nhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fox5sandiego\/videos\/533233420715199\/<\/a> See also \nhttps:\/\/calmatters.org\/health\/coronavirus\/2020\/04\/newsom-cities-blocking-hotels-for-homeless-will-be-judged-by-history<\/a>

\nI’ve done several netshows (4-12, 4-16, and 4-19) on the subject, which can be found at\nhttp:\/\/www.huffsantacruz.org\/Lostshows.html<\/a> .\n

\nToday Alicia Kuhl of the Santa Cruz Homeless Union and Keith McHenry of \nFood Not Bombs announced a Physical Distancing Picket noon tomorrow 4-20\n outside the Hampton Inn next to Denny’s at 1505 Ocean St to demand the \nCity and County authorities follow the CDC\/Newsom\n guidelines. \nhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=10158028273318820&set=gm.229151128428242&type=3&theater<\/a>

\nThe HUFF (Homeless United for Friendship & Freedom) members I’ve contacted support this protest. I and others will be there.\n
