People in the bay area are so generous, donating tens of thousands of dollars to the red cross following the devastation of the valley fire. But with that money comes criticism over how the organization has handled the relief effort. Michael finney joins us tonight in middleton. He went to race at the top to get answers. Michael . If you take a look online at my page or my twitter account, youre going to see a lot of complaints about the red cross and the way theyre handling everything up here in the valley fire. So i took those complaints and went to the local red cross ceo. Red cross has provided relief and is taking an amazing amount of grief. My Facebook Page and twitter account are filled with concerns about the red cross. Today, in middleton i sat down with trevor riggin. Ryan g says they keep the majority of the money. Jim y says he heard reports only 8 of the donations go to services. Charity navigator says 90 goes over goods and services. What are the snakts. For the red cross as a whole, 0. 91 of every dollar is going to our services in the community. It will be the same for this disaster. Those writing to me are concerned about where the money is being spent. Were committed any money designated to be spent in California Wildfires supports the wildfires in california. Another issue is the rejection of volunteers and material donations. Tim m says ask red cross why theyre turning away donations left and right. They wont let anyone drop off donations at their fire sites. So we have changed that. We did put that messages out. That fell into the category of we didnt have the right coordination going on at the fair grounds. The red cross admits it failed to build partnerships before the disaster. Worked with the county and fair grounds to identify a partner, center for volunteers brought a leadership role. The red cross doesnt take donations of physical goods but tries to partner with other charities that do, and accused of having problems around the country, around the world. Why is it every time there is a major disaster, it seems like the red cross ends up in a major scandal . Sandy, recent one, trucks you guys are accused of driving trucks around for pr and not delivering goods. Haiti accused of wasting tens of millions. And San Francisco, after the 89 quake the mayor had to threaten to sue to get some of the money he felt had been raised in quake victims names. Why the history . Some of the past disasters there are inaccuracies in those reports but there are challenges. Theyre disasters and struggles to meet the needs of the population. When given the opportunity, what he wanted to talk about was his volunteers. Theyre working 1416 hours per day, looking for opportunities to serve. This is a Charity Navigator cro8kgnii you flip into it, youll see Gail Mcgovern is the ceo. And a lot of people have been asking. I interested trevor. He said it is normal for an organization of this size. Im Michael Finney, 7 on your side. Thank you for that. Pope francis is not the only highrofile visitor to the United States this week.

It sees an opportunity to fix up Old Buildings to house small numbers of people as a way to help. David louie explains how san jose thinks it can do that. San jose could be living on the same block. The city wants to spend 2. 4 million to acquire the plaza hotel to house 49 homeless people. Its called rapid rehousing. Small projects were portable housing can be set up. The cost of the conversion would cost about 45,000 for each of the 49 units, about one tenth of the cost of creating a new facility. It would cost more to build in san jose. So the city will rehabilitate older motels, use them for housing at a bargain. The city recognizes there are many kinds of homeless with different issues. The plaza would be targeted for less than two years. They have disabilities that are going to acquire life long support. Other folks might just need a hand up. We need to get help to get on their way back to their own independent living situation. Some Business Owners told the council theyre worried about the project, others dont.
