those that do not want help. those that are refusing to get help, those refusing to get help should be granted additional to break laws, tenants on the sidewalk or in public, we need to enforce these policies to ultimately help them get into another camp to get help. ashley: you said you have zero homeless in your town but you got that one person help. but what resources are you offering them and where do they go once they do get that help? that is a great question. so, what we have done is partner but they homeless service provider so that if the homeless individual is encountered in the streets of coronado, the police officers will make contact with individual, let them know there is help available and that we will personally escort them to make sure they get the help they need to get back on their feet and get a roof over their heads and get additional services that they need. however, we make it clear we don t tolerate tent encampments
. > > anderson: want to spend to him now visiting a story refocusing on city s attempts to curb rying homeless populations or in the case of a san francisco shop owner we were reported on arrest last month after video showed him spraying water on a homeless person what happens when the problem has been shows recently made an effort to clear way tent encampments on city streets, part of her program call-ins safe, the homeless are them housed in motels the city just recently received a 60 million dollars federal grant to help those homeless but the cost of dealing with the problem is huge, and there are questions about how many motel beds and suitable housing is available in a city where thousands of people live on the streets.
of the resistance that we ve experienced in the past i m hoping will be softened. there s some neighborhoods that want buildings to be built in certain areas, but it is still within their general neighborhood. you cannot address 40,000 people without building housing everywhere. you can t just in the low-income areas that are already severely overcrowded. give me a metric which you should be judged in in four years. is it number of people on the streets? number of tent encampments? what s a fair way to address your success or failure. encampments should be significantly down, if not eliminated. there should be housing being built underway at a much more rapid pace. there should not be 40,000 people who are unhoused, that s for sure. mayor karen bass, i
claudia is live in sacramento. this is the mayor s ambitious response to the growing homeless crisis here, a mandate to do two things. require the city to provide enough housing and then obligate people to take it. the mayor says a legal mandate will force all facets of government to pool their resources to designate sites and dismantle tent encampments that currently house more than 5,000 men, women and children. i will never support criminalizing homelessness. i don t believe that s right. i just believe that when we have the capacity to offer people a safe and dignified alternative indoors, that they have to take it. if they don t take it, then we tell them that you can t camp or live where you are living. exactly what could happen to those who refuse the housing is unclear.
but, you know, there is a lot of intelligence about russian aggression, elsewhere. in fact, on monday, we are going to hear more of the interview, all of the interview, on the today program and keir messaged that he did bring up something that i have a great interest in. which is russia s objections at the security council united nations to the last remaining humanitarian corridor from turkey from the west, into syria. where 4 million people are starving and living in tent encampments because they ve been bombed by, both, assad and russia. and are viewed as opponents of the assad regime. so i was just there, last week, with u.n. ambassador. and she is trying to bring, you know, attention to this. we understand that president biden is going to bring that up with vladimir putin in geneva. but keir asked him about it, and i m not sure, yet. we are going to put that on, on monday. exactly what he said about whether he is going to back down and what price he may demand for backing down. b
