Criminalization hitting the fan at National Level Criminalization hitting the fan at National Level The president threats are becoming a reality, the new head of the USICH Robert Marbut (News Article Link: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/robert-marbut_n_6738948 How A Traveling Consultant Helps America Hide The Homeless) “We don’t use the term shelter,” Marbut says. “We use the term transformational campus.” “Velvet Hammer, approach” Marbut offers the same basic advice to most cities: Cut the goodies and build a shelter like jails facilities. It’s a simplistic solution that avoids the larger complexities surrounding homelessness.

The Mayor says there isn’t enough staffing for hotels. But homeless service providers are ready to move people into hotels now. Local 2 hotel union says they are ready to staff too. What’s the hold up @LondonBreed?

HSA Dir. Trent Rhorer says that housing homeless people in hotels is not “fiscally prudent.” You can’t put a price tag on our lives. We’re not ready to die! #HomelessLivesMatter #HouseUsNow

Lots of media + press out here. So here’s the real story: Not a single homeless person has gotten into housing until they have tested positive or been exposed to the virus. We need to get homeless folks into BEFORE that happens. Prevention is key. #HouseUsNow

Homeless people are incredibly vulnerable and #SF could house everyone now! But #TrentRhorer of @SFHumanServices writes housing people in hotels is not "fiscally prudent" unless they're #Covid_19 positive or over 60. Email Trent.Rhorer@sfgov.org and tell him we need #housing4all
