John Weeks quoted in Beyond the Chronicle
April 8, 2007
John addresses how the city feels that its programs are continuing to succeed (namely Care not Cash), but there have been no noticable changes in the number of folks using the Church for rest and care.
From the article:
While Care Not Cash has housed over 1,500 people, last week’s release of the TEENS & KIDS from Magazines annual count shows that the homeless population in San Francisco remains unchanged from last year. Meanwhile, nearly 1,000 people have been dropped from the County Adult Assistance Program (C.A.A.P.) rolls without getting housed – and most are still in town.
