Photo: David Mamaril Horowitz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p5\">An estimated 2,200 students in the district cope with homelessness or housing insecurity. But so far, the gym has sheltered fewer than two families on average per night, while being able to house an estimated 20 (or 60 people).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">On March 1, the San Francisco Chronicle published a sharp critique of the program, calling it \u201ca costly failure\u201d with a price tag $40,000 a month. There are plenty who disagree with that assessment though. The SF Weekly (in article published partly in response to the Chronicle) stressed that it makes no sense to measure the program\u2019s success solely by number of participants who stay over each night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">As the program\u2019s manager Mayra Medel-Sanchez explained, the numbers don\u2019t tell the whole story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cThe stay-over shelter is a last-resort. We are helping the families problem-solve and touch every corner that they need to before they stay at the stay-over program,\u201d Medel-Sanchez said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">All participants in the program register with the the city\u2019s Mission Access Point, which enters them into the city\u2019s homelessness response system and makes them eligible for its services. They are also able to meet with a case manager who provides counseling and guides them to resources.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">There are 59 Horace Mann families who have spoken with the school\u2019s social worker Nick Chandler. At least 26 of them have received case management and seven (comprising 26 people) have used the shelter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Interested families usually begin the conversation by saying they are running out of housing options and they were told the school has a shelter. They first speak to Chandler, who vets and forwards them to Dolores Street Community Services, the nonprofit managing the shelter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Families who still need the gym may come and go as they please and stay as long as they need, Medel-Sanchez said. Unlike in the vast majority of shelters, absence from the gym does not result in removal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cWe understand it\u2019s way more comfortable to stay at somebody\u2019s living room than in a gym,\u201d Medel-Sanchez said. \u201cWe understand that sometimes it\u2019s payday, and you want to go get a hotel room with your family\u2014you want to have that privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Check-in at the shelter begins at 6:30 p.m., or 6 p.m. for new families. A support staff that is almost entirely bilingual interacts with them while providing warm food, cots and linens. The lights drop at 9 p.m., and the workers provide overnight security until the gym is clean and ready for classes by 7 a.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Still, with the numbers of families staying over each night being well below those projected, city officials have determined that the only way to make the program \u201ccost-effective\u201d is to make the shelter available to students from other schools and their families.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing Director Jeff Kositsky called the proposed expansion sensible because the city had already funded the program\u2019s start-up costs (such as shower installments). The school\u2019s administration and Hillary Ronen (the supervisor for District 9 where the school is located), have both advocated for the expansion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Not everyone was comfortable with the idea though. Those who oppose the expansion are mostly parents, who argue that it goes against the original proposal. They think the pilot program amendment has progressed too fast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cWhen this was initially ruled out, it was a promise made to the community that this was to serve Buena Vista Horace Mann families,\u201d Johanna Lopez Miyaki said. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t see how by expanding it to all district schools you can maintain that promise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Ronen applauded the program prior to the decision, stating on Facebook: \u201cI will continue to support and fight for any decision the school makes. As our homelessness crisis rages on, with children sleeping in unsafe conditions everyday, I believe we need to try innovative models like this one, and give them a chance to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cWe know that we can never be a home,\u201d said Sa\u00fal Hidalgo, who supervises the program\u2019s design and planning. \u201cBut we do our best to be as homelike as we can be.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[su_carousel source=&#8221;media: 40141,40138,40139,40140&#8243; limit=&#8221;100&#8243; link=&#8221;lightbox&#8221; width=&#8221;800&#8243; height=&#8221;540&#8243; responsive=&#8221;no&#8221; items=&#8221;1&#8243;] Eager children participate in a game of bingo or eat pasta and meatballs, as their families join them for an evening of games, movies, homework and conversation.
