His money and personal troubles led his wife to leave him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">He eventually found a loyal companion in his dog \u201cCabezon,\u201d whom he met while dog sitting trying to earn money for food. They\u2019ve been together since. But finding a shelter has proved difficult due to overcrowding and shelter regulations that prohibit animals from entering. Mus would rather sleep on the street than leave his dog for a warm bed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">\u201cI can\u2019t be without the dog. He\u2019s the only thing I have,\u201d said Mus. \u201cHe is the only one that makes my life happy. He is attached to me and I am attached to him too.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32618\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32618\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Homeless_02web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32618 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Homeless_02web.jpg?resize=400%2C530&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"400\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Homeless_02web.jpg?w=652&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 652w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Homeless_02web.jpg?resize=600%2C795&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Homeless_02web.jpg?resize=189%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 189w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Homeless_02web.jpg?resize=362%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 362w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32618\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Edwin Mus, a 49-year-old man originally from Guatemala, has been homeless on the streets of San Francisco for about six years. He and his dog \u2018Cabezon\u2019 live in the area around 16th and Mission streets. Photo: Marisol Cabrera<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p6\">The San Francisco Point-in-Time Homeless Count has noted that despite efforts to solve the homeless problem, the city\u2019s general homeless population actually rose slightly between 2005 (6,248) and 2015 (6,686). And in San Francisco, immigrants and people of color who are homeless have less access to housing and shelters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">Section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980 states that only certain categories of noncitizens are eligible for benefits under the housing programs. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) also states that undocumented people, unless they are \u201cqualified aliens,\u201d are not eligible for federal public benefits. Immigrants have faced extreme marginalization with laws that prohibit their eligibility for housing programs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">PRWORA coined the term \u201cqualified alien\u201d to differentiate noncitizens, who can receive federal public benefits from those who are prohibited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">The director of Homeless Services at the Mission Neighborhood Health Center, Laura Guzman, has been an advocate for immigrant homeless in San Francisco for more than a decade. Guzman has served as chair of the only shelter that offers housing for Spanish-speaking immigrants with limited access to shelters or subsidized housing from other organizations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">She says recent San Francisco propositions \u201cQ\u201d (which made tents on city sidewalks illegal) and \u201cR\u201d (which failed, but would\u2019ve created an SFPD Neighborhood Crime Unit to respond to \u201cquality of life\u201d crimes, including homelessness)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>only meet the needs of the wealthy in the city, and ultimately won\u2019t resolve the city\u2019s homeless problem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">\u201cThe neighbors that are pushing for some of these initiatives are the very people that will not allow you to build housing or shelter,\u201d Guzman said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">There are about 900 people currently living in encampments for whom there are no shelter beds according to Guzman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">Mus explained how he and a couple of his friends came to live in a tent in the Mission this year near 15th street, and how police forced them out of their tent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">\u201cThey came in at around 5:30 in the morning and threw everything [out],\u201d Mus said. \u201cThey took everything from us. They threw all our dishes and clothes to the trash. That hurt me the most.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">Paul Boden, executive director of Western Regional Advocacy Project (WRAP), argues that the system of laws encompassing homeless immigrants and minorities are structured to criminalize people that fit both categories. He agrees that the system cannot resolve homelessness through the removal of tents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">Boden thinks these laws are designed to make residents believe that over time, homelessness will no longer be a problem because they aren\u2019t able to see it anymore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">\u201cYou can\u2019t have a discussion around homelessness without talking about racism, criminalization, [and] class,\u201d said Boden. \u201cThis is that liberal pretense that \u2018neoliberalism\u2019 promotes so much. It\u2019s: \u2018We\u2019re going to make the person you see today disappear and once that person has disappeared you\u2019re [the community] going to figure we fixed the problem.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">WRAP\u2019s report \u201cWithout Housing,\u201d which Boden presented, found that the department of Housing and Urban Development\u2019s (HUD) budget authority was cut by 77 percent from 1978 to 1983. Since 1983, there has been a significant increase in laws criminalizing homelessness in California. The main \u201coffenses\u201d that homeless people are being targeted for are sleeping, sitting or lying down and loitering.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">Despite his difficulties, Mus continues to search for ways in which he can provide a better life for himself and for his companion dog.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">\u201cI\u2019m fighting to move ahead. I\u2019m always working anywhere,\u201d Mus said. \u201cThank god right now I\u2019m not missing much, only a roof over my head for the cold nights.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s Note: This article is a project of San Francisco State University\u2019s Latina\/Latino Journalism class taught by Katynka Martinez. \u201cThere\u2019s not enough room for everybody,\u201d said 49-year-old Edwin Mus, who is known by his fellow homeless neighbors as \u201cEl Vampiro.\u201d Mus, originally from Guatemala, is a homeless man who has lived in the Mission for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":32617,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3573,7],"tags":[12403,8055,9443,12405,12413,7137,12409,12417,12411,12415,12407,12419,12421],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-32616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-housing-news","category-news","tag-edwin-mus","tag-homeless-en","tag-homeless-encampment","tag-latino-homelessness","tag-laura-guzman","tag-mission-neighborhood-health-center-en","tag-ousing-and-community-development-act-of-1980","tag-paul-boden","tag-personal-responsibility-and-work-opportunity-reconciliation-act-of-1996","tag-prwora","tag-san-francisco-point-in-time-homeless-count","tag-western-regional-advocacy-project","tag-wrap","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
