The screening of an eye-opening documentary on seniors entering homelessness premiered in San Francisco, but the feature attraction was a community discussion among people engaged with it firsthand and their housed neighbors. https://t.co/kgrdnIPJkg

here’s a picture of San Francisco “prioritizing” homeless people

"Many homeless people don’t have phones, and the causes of their homelessness are complex, often forcing social workers to harness their personal connections and experience to navigate the city’s tangled housing and shelter system."

“It’s degrading,” Kaufman said. “It’s like saying we’re not worth anyone’s time.” https://t.co/5R0AUcydaZ

Working with the SF Public Press on tonight's screening! Following is a panel discussion ft. Armando Baravo Martinez of @TheCoalitionSF, then a meet and greet w/the filmmakers and reporters at the Public Press & Street Sheet!

Formerly unhoused plaintiff Apple shares her story in a new op-ed for @sfchronicle. She sued the city of San Francisco not for money, but to stop the city from seizing destroying unhoused people’s survival belongings.

If someone had tried to force me into abstinence, I would’ve run. The only reason I could stay was because I was met with dignity, not demands.

“We are failing our seniors by allowing them to sleep on the streets and in shelter beds as they live their last years,” Kushel said. Monica Davalos, a policy analyst at the California Budget and Policy Center, was more blunt. “Fundamentally it is really just a moral failing.."

"The broader picture is grim. According to San Francisco’s Aging and Disability Affordable Housing Implementation Plan, 42 percent of older adults in the city are renters and more than three quarters of them are low income."

https://t.co/PQO7BxQeFc "Brito’s story reflects a larger trend. A 2023 UCSF study reported that 48 percent of single homeless adults were over 50. Many had lived stable working class lives until one crisis pushed them into homelessness."

This year demonstrates more than ever the importance of elevating the voices of the unhoused. The fight continues. Thank you for your support ❤️ Photo credit: John Avalos
