Providence foundation. The invoices were submitted in 2022 for painting of the exterior of the oasis hotel and the removal of locks at the hotel.

For years, they have received grants through the Citys Department of homelessness and Supportive Housing. In a statement, the Citys Department said in part hsa will be reviewing each contract on a program by program basis to determine the best way to continue Seamless Services for the guests and tenants in these programs. Its almost foreseeable when you have the avalanche of new programs and new contractors coming in and the city wanting to get more contractors involved, and not really scrutinizing those, randy shaw, director of the tenderloin housing clinic, the leading provider of permanent Supportive Housing for homeless single adults in San Francisco, is concerned about what these findings will mean for other nonprofits like his social media is filled with to it with tweets about corrupt nonprofits in the homeless sector. But the reality is theres a lot of nonprofits involved. These are still a small number, and they give us all a bad name. Our data team found that San Francisco has awarded over 213 million to nonprofits in the housing and homelessness sector for contracts starting in 2023 to present, the city Attorneys Office said they will continue their investigation. We will fine you, we will cut off your funding and we will hold you accountable. And the city Attorneys Office said their their investigation is ongoing. He also said they identified multiple nonprofits with questionable behavior. Luz pena, abc seven news. Luz were there any clues of mismanagement of funds earlier than this . Yes. Over the past year, the Citys Department of homelessness and Supportive Housing has sent at least six corrective action letters to Providence Foundation for a number of noncompliance issues and fiscal mismanagement, including the illegal recording of guests and employees, as well as overspending on city contracts. Deon, lot more deep rooted than we expected. All right, louis, thank you. Now, while San Francisco waits for the Supreme Court to determine if it can clear homeless encampments, the city is finding other ways to remove tents. The latest street count, taken last week, found 360 tents and structures across the city. Thats a 41 decrease from last july, when there were more than 600 tents and encampments. San francisco has moved 460 people who were living in encampments into shelters so far this year. Im very encouraged by what this means for our city and looking forward to more momentum around getting people off the streets and getting them housed. But more importantly, not allowing those who refuse service to continue to take over the streets of San Francisco. So the survey also found there were no encampments with ten or more tents and only nine with five or more tents. Now to developing news.

Coming up, its convenient or its cumbersome, depending on your view. Could we be coming to the end of Self Checkout and rattlesnakes . Why . Theyre coming out now more than usual. Im Spencer Christian looking at a modest warm up today, a more dramatic one later in the week. Ill have the accuweather forecast in just a m a super thin, flexible patch with maximum otc strength lidocaine that contours to the body to relieve pain right where it hurts. And did we mention, it really, really sticks . Salonpas, its good medicine. Out on a trail around the bay area. Rattlesnake season can lead to more encounters with humans and dogs, and in the east bay, snake safety precautions are in place. Abc seven News Reporter leslie brinkly joins us live now from walnut creek with more on this story. Have you had any sightings, leslie . Oh, gosh, i hope not. No no, i want to see any. Although over the years, over the years living here and hiking around here, i have seen them upon occasion. And its a its a little nerve rattling, pardon the pun there, but you just missed it. Just five minutes ago, there was a group of 30 hikers meeting up here, part of a hiking club. They branched off on the easy trail and the hard trail and the person leading the hike warned them. Tonight. Just a few minutes ago, be on the lookout for rattlesnakes. I noticed a lot of people with poles to kind of scan the trail ahead of them. It pays right now to Pay Attention, whether its in the woods or hiking on the grassy slopes of mount diablo. A warning has gone out from east Bay Regional Park District to be on the lookout for rattlesnakes this year. As snakes come out of their hibernation, or brumation. And its called, its good to be good to be aware of the possibility that theyre, you know, may be more snakes than usual. 2023 wet winter means more baby snakes have grown up, and theres more prey for them. And its now mating season for rattlesnakes. Watch where you put your feet. Watch where you put your hands when youre sitting on rocks or out hiking. There seem to be more rattlesnakes this year than ive seen in the past, last week i saw three large rattlesnakes, during our walk. I didnt see any today. Often theyre crossing the path or sunning, and they usually stay out of the way, i have a dog, so kind of watch the dog, too, and make sure that she is aware. So exercise caution and give a rattler. If you encounter one a wide berth. The Park District suggests staying on wide trails and avoiding some of the smaller, narrower side trails, and always go hiking with a friend just in case youre bitten. If its a rattlesnake or youre not sure thats a medical emergency, there are is no first aid that can be done in the field that is going to change the outcome of a serious bite. The only first aid, or the only treatment is antivenom. And we only get antivenom in a hospital emergency room. So your best first aid kit is your cell phone or your car keys. Another tip keep your dog on a leash. If youre out in the open space or out on a hike right now to keep dogs away from rattlesnakes. As you can imagine, theres so much smaller than people and a bite can be quite fatal quite quickly unless you get them immediately to an emergency vet clinic. So lots to think about. I mean, its gorgeous out here. Of course, come out and enjoy the weather, but we also do have to Pay Attention to the fact that the rattlesnakes are out here as well. Reporting live at shell ridge. Im leslie brinkley, abc seven news. Yeah, that is some great advice. Glad to see that you didnt have any sightings yourself and got to enjoy part of the day. Leslie. Thank you. Well, incredible news today for bay area digital newspaper. Look out, santa cruz was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the prize goes to staff of lookout saint now, thats a nice monday for you. The bullets are his considered the highest National Honor in print journalism. Look out. Santa cruz won in the breaking news reporting category for their coverage of last years catastrophic flooding during multiple atmospheric rivers. I think the one word i would use is tenacious, that we were there, people got weary, but i do not remember a lot of complaints. We knew what we needed to do because we live in this community, and we knew the pain that people were suffering. Certainly. And look out. Santa cruz uses a Text Message Service that was able to keep updates going to peoples phones, even when the Internet Service went down, such great and important work. And congratulations. Yeah. Well done. All right. We have some Award Winning weather. I think i could call it that. I think so too, spencer. Ill accept that gladly, especially after what we had over the weekend, which was probably not Award Winning. Heres a look at live doppler seven. The satellite and radar. You can see a strong, brisk, vigorous onshore flow, which weve had for several days right now. High pressure developing there. That will be the controlling factor in our weather as we get later into the week and things start to warm up. But right now were looking at gusts between 25 and 32mph in the windiest areas right now near the bay and the coastline. Those gusts will ease up a little bit going into the late night hours, and the warm up has begun. Its about 3 to 5 degrees warmer in most bay area locations right now than at this time yesterday. So when we go to a live view from emeryville, looking back at San Francisco, where its 57 degrees, we have low 60s at oakland and hayward, mid 60s at san jose and redwood city, 55 degrees at half moon bay, blue sky and breezy conditions at the golden gate up north, santa rosa, 66 degrees petaluma 5561 at napa and mid to upper 60s at fairfield, concord and livermore. Now lets check out our forecast headlines. We have a warm week ahead. Expect summer like heat. During some parts of the week. Peak of warming will occur thursday, friday and saturday, and by weeks end well be looking at inland high temperatures in some inland locations at or above 90 degrees. So when we go to the overnight conditions, well see a few high clouds pass through, maybe even a couple of little patches of low clouds moving up to the coastline. But it will be generally clear overnight, and any clouds that do form will not linger into the morning hours. Overnight. Low temperatures will be will be milder than the last two nights, mainly mid to upper 40s. A little chillier way up north. Lakeport a low of 39 degrees. Then tomorrow, under sunny skies, well see highs of 58 at half moon bay, 65 here in San Francisco. Up in the north bay 73 at napa, 76 santa rosa. The inland east bay will be mainly in the mid 70s right around the bay shoreline, 69 to 70 degrees in most locations and up to about 73 at san jose and morgan hill. Now, as we skip ahead and look at the maximum temperature trend going into that warming pattern, well see high temperatures thursday in the upper 80s to near 90 in our inland areas, and low to mid 80s around the bay shoreline. Then friday the temperatures bump up a couple of degrees low 90s inland. Saturday some low or even low to mid 90s in the farthest inland locations and right around the bay shoreline. Well see mid 80s, even some 70s popping up on the coastline during this warm week ahead. And here it is the accuweather seven day forecast. So the warming will be gradual tomorrow and wednesday, but it kicks into higher gear on thursday. And well see actually even on thursday, which will not be the warmest day inland. Well see low 70s on the coast, but then on friday and saturday, high temperatures inland up to about 9092 degrees in the warmest spots, mid 80s around the bay shoreline mid upper 60s to about 70 on the coast and then as the weekend as sunday approaches, i should say well see some gradual cooling getting temperatures back into the normal range for this time of the year. Looking good spencer. Thanks. Okay, support is growing for a San Francisco nonprofit thats helping to build a better bay area human made had its base badly damaged in a fire a week ago.
