Facing Crisis Together: On the Revolutionary Potential of Mutual Aid

Alisa Bohling Reads the Work of Dean Spade December 21, 2020 I left the West Coast three years ago, in search of refuge from the housing crisis. Before that home was Portland, then Los Angeles. I fell hard for California, but the Oregonian in me looked askance at the climate. It might have felt like home, but it wasn’t; it was an expensive tinderbox. I relocated to the Intermountain West, determined to remain solvent while I finished my book. I fought off my ambivalence with a desperate, pointed optimism. I would be getting out of my liberal bubble! Immersing myself in the Other Half of America! I would learn to grasp polarization from the inside! Educate people who looked like me about the damage our whiteness was doing to other people, and to ourselves!

Waiver requested for annual count of homeless people

The COVID-19 pandemic may have claimed yet another event. The Continuum of Care advisory board to the Regional Task Force on the Homeless unanimously agreed Thursday to ask the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for permission to skip its annual count of homeless people living without shelter because of concerns that the coronavirus could spread among participants. HUD requires the count and uses the data as part of a formula that determines the allocation of federal funds for homeless programs. The count conducted last January found 7,658 homeless people throughout San Diego County, a 5 percent decrease from 2019. Of those, 3,971 were without shelter, 11 percent fewer than last year, and 3,687 were in shelters, up 2 percent.
