I would like to know the salaries of the people who run the Skid Row campus. I'm guessing they all make six figures and have great health insurance and maybe a retirement plan.
That’s why California is the head of the HIC (Homeless Industrial Complex)…where there are HUNDREDS of very well-paid Administrators, Boards of Directors and Managers. Where progress is measured in dollars coming into the Organizations. Where there is ZERO incentive to disrupting the status quo and risking your income or position in the whole scheme. Where success is measured in continuity of services offered…whatever form they take.
>> Newsom argued earlier this year that harm-reduction tactics “increase the likelihood of people entering substance use treatment.”
We've run the experiment in places across the country, LA, SF, PDX, Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia, NYC, etc. The VIP (Vagrancy Incentive Programs...) clearly do not "increase the likelihood of people entering substance use treatment".
Places like California are a warning to all nations who are pondering alleged 'harm reduction', 'safe supply' or 'de-stigmatising' policies. Other will cite Portugal, though even that is not a model to emulate. The Portuguese system has decriminalised possession of all drugs whilst retaining the criminal status of distribution and trafficking. This resulted in the worst of both worlds - people are effectively free to purchase/consume illegal drugs from criminal organisations.
If you want to know the salaries request the 990’s. They are part of the public tax record. Just because they are a 501c3 doesn’t mean they don’t file tax returns. That is a public record that must be produced on demand

Yup, spot on. And can we please stop using the disingenuous nonsensical term “ nonprofit”?

However, I believe that drug treatment and getting clean is mandatory in Portugal upon arrest. Apples and Oranges with California.
Mental health crisis is the root cause of it
It’s actually a self feeding cycle as hard drug use often causes mental illness. Lather, rinse, repeat…
Say Hello To The Libertarian Party.
What exactly costs $26 million a year???
Realistically,salaries for “ nonprofits”.

Ramen and Doritos with your drugs.
That's harm reduction, progressive-style.
Excellent summary. our only hope is Steve Hilton.
Christopher: now you should document how they manage to spend $26M a year handing out drug paraphernalia. I'm dying to know.
Infuriating but hardly surprising.
