America's housing affordability crisis has led to a sharp increase in homelessness. And, according to the latest count by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, children under the age of 18 have seen the largest jump. There are nearly 1.4 million homeless students nationwide, according to the National Center for Homeless Education. USA TODAY Breaking News Reporter Christopher Cann joins The Excerpt to discuss this rapidly growing population of students and the long-term implications for society. Have feedback on the show?

There is a disconnect between the high level of homelessness in Seattle and the high number of affordable housing units that are sitting unused at the moment. As of the end of last year, nearly 11% of affordable housing in the city were empty – more than 2700 apartments. . That’s more than five times the number of vacancies compared to 7 years ago. So what happened? Well, for many, affordable housing is, ironically, no longer the affordable option. A flattening of rents overall has made these units less desirable than many other market rate options. But even though these units are sitting empty, it’s unlikely they will be opened for Seattle’s growing homeless population.

It's a difficult time of year for the roughly 10,000 people in the state who have unstable or no shelter. Often people without stable housing live unnoticed and without the safety and care they need.

Homelessness is an issue that could hurt the Democratic Party in next month's US presidential election. The problem is especially serious in Democratic candidate Kamala Harris's home state of California, which has one third of the country's homeless: 181,000 people in that state alone. Republicans have often criticised their rivals for being too lax on the issue. Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has vowed to speed up the dismantling of encampments and is threatening to cut off public funds to towns that refuse to do so. But in some cities, like Los Angeles, authorities are doing their best to find more permanent housing for the homeless. FRANCE 24's Pierrick Leurent and Valérie Defert report, with Wassim Cornet.

Mike Jones has been homeless for 20 of his 59 years of life, and as he watched a team of police and street cleaners throw away his pile of soggy tarps and trash last week, he shrugged. “I have eight dogs, and I just don't like shelters,” he said. “Too much like jail, and I've had a lot of experience with jail. I'm just fine out here in my tent.” Jones' ability to remain outside this city's shelter system is about to get a lot harder. The same goes for every other homeless person in this rapidly growing town and virtually every other locality in the sprawling farmlands of the Central Valley. Spurred by June's U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing governments to sweep out homeless encampments without having to first offer shelter, Central Valley jurisdictions from tiny Turlock to the wide San Joaquin County are passing and enforcing stringent bans on any type of camping or loitering on public land. Gov. Gavin Newsom's executive order in July urging local leaders to vigorously break down camps if they were big or disruptive enough to be deemed “dangerous” seemed to add his blessing to the efforts.

The mayor of Miami has an ambitious goal—to reach a “functional zero” homeless population within his bustling city. “We reached functional zero veteran homeless, and I realized … that we could, we should, take it a step further and get to a functional zero,” says Mayor Francis Suarez, a Republican who leads Florida's second-biggest city.Miami is partnering with several organizations—including Hermanos de la Calle, Lotus House, and Camillus House—to meet the varied needs of the homeless and create a model that other cities could duplicate to tackle their own homelessness crises. But Suarez says addressing homelessness extends beyond meeting the physical, mental, and emotional needs of the homeless—cities must also create an economic environment that allows all citizens to thrive. If city leaders want to effectively address homelessness, Suarez argues, they also must consider a “broader macroeconomic reality” that plays a role in creating or alleviating the problem. To this end, the mayor says Miami's government has followed three rules: “We've kept taxes low; we've kept people safe; and we've leaned into innovation.” Suarez joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how Miami is advancing toward a “functional zero” homeless population and to share the exciting results of a recent event toward reaching that goal.

Two new reports say the city of San Francisco and the state of California are making significant progress in the homelessness crisis, but are things really getting better, or are unhoused people just being shuffled somewhere else, with a shortage of shelter beds still a very real problem? San Francisco officials declared this week that the number of tents and tent encampments on the streets has dropped significantly, 41% since last summer. They say that's proof that the crisis is easing, partly because a federal court ruled that police can take down tents if the people in them are voluntarily refusing shelter, as opposed to having no choice because there are not enough shelter beds available. Meanwhile, another report said Governor Newsom's Project Roomkey program did help move more than 60-thousand people off the streets into hotel rooms, declaring it a success as well, but most of those people ended up moving back into homelessness eventually.  For more KCBS Radio's Doug Sovern, Bret Burkhart, and Patti Reising spoke with Jennifer Friedenbach, Executive Director of the Coalition on Homelessness in San Francisco.

If you've visited San Francisco in the last week, chances are you have noticed fewer unhoused people near Moscone Center and downtown.Since APEC started, streets have been cleaner and the homeless population is not as visible in downtown San Francisco.The San Francisco Standard captured encampment on Van Ness Avenue and Eddy Street two months ago. This week, a completely different look. Planter boxes now on the sidewalk. A mile from APEC.Minna Street between Seventh and Julia Streets with multiple tents, two months ago. This week cleared. Less than a mile from APEC.Support the show
