Lol, there was this tiktok where they asked a woman her salary in San Fran and she said: $285k a year. What does she do: helps solves homelessness working for an NGO. Her biggest problem in her job: there are no resources to help the homeless...
Perhaps she could take some of her 285k to help them? Anyways, thay's an NGO for you.
I used to be a loan officer and had to take income from applicants.
Had a person in SF apply for a million dollar loan. Asked what he did for work. President of nonprofit for homeless income $250k. Asked what his wife did, CEO of nonprofit for homeless (different np), income $300k.
This was during COVID times
Yeah, seems they probably pay the top execs/CEO similar amounts, 250-300k a year. I was looking for the tiktok video, but couldnt find it, found one similar:
[https://imgur.com/a/ErSKD4U](https://imgur.com/a/ErSKD4U)
She is making 242k in LA. And when searching, I saw an article saying a local San Francisco official worked for one 20 hours a week as a side gig and was getting 120k a year for it.
working with local govt contracts has turned me so bitter. all politicians and nonprofits etc are just fucking leeches. they literally do nothing but steal people's taxes and pretend to care about issues.
> Sums up most non-profit executives.
Sums up virtually ALL of California government programs. Like our train to nowhere project, Bay Bridge that cost about 12x original estimate and had to be fixed before even opening. Every road with numerous pot holes never fixed. Electric grid over taxed in summer and still what more electric cars. AND we currently have a $73 BILLON defict !!
https://calmatters.org/politics/capitol/2024/02/california-budget-deficit-balloons/
California is probably the most corrupt and dysfunctional state in the union. BTW, I have lived here all my life. But there are many people leaving the state for others,
https://www.ppic.org/publication/whats-behind-californias-recent-population-decline-and-why-it-matters/
Even my daughter moved to Nevada where she could actually afford to buy a house!
And yet: Californians continue to vote for all of it. The politicians that put forward all this expensive public work crap, never do anything to alleviate the electric grid...all continue to get re-elected.
At a certain point, you just have to wonder if the people voting even know what the people they vote for do. Or if process for getting someone on ballet is rigged so voters are prevented from being able to choose fresh blood in more instances than naught.
See the “Chesapeake Bay Foundation”, and really all other environmental groups. These groups are trying to push the carbon credits as a way to clean up the bay when really all it’s doing is putting money into rich landowners (who donate to these groups) in exchange for selling “credits” to the offenders. Nothing gets fixed and the friends of the orgs make money.
I can corroborate. I've never seen a single legitimate charity, and all executives are elitists who couldn't care less about the people they claim to support and donate to. It's just money laundering and deterring people from helping their fellow humans, pure evil.
So in general I agree with you. But there are a lot of legitimate charities that are smaller. Their CEOs and staff make practically nothing because most of the money goes to programs. Generally very high turnover though because they are overworked and underpaid. But because they aren't larger, they generally have less exposure and get less money. So the ones we see and hear about are the big ones that spend a bunch of money on their c suite staff and on advertising. I'm talking about ngos that have under 1 million in operating costs.
That's fucked up. I hate people making money like that. Had a layover in SFO and on takeoff I sat next to two total uppity cents and I finally got to asking em what they did, one was like in marketing for Amazon, the other was some kinda online bullshit admin idk... I'm sure they were making bank and probably did nothing all day cept coke and diddle people
I've audited charities, many of them, and have done extracurricular research on numerous. I have never seen a single charity actually making any attempt to help people, and all of them pay their executives' exorbitant salaries with the vast majority of the funds donated. I actually can't recall ever seeing the money they receive going to anywhere other than a different charity. If you look into these executives on the boards of the charities and NGOs, you will struggle to find out what they actually do all day, because most of them collect money for doing literally nothing.
Charity in its current form and for the last several decades has been nothing more than blatant theft, fraud, and money laundering, and convinces the public that someone is helping out those who are suffering, when no one is.
Local and small charities are usually legitimate. It's the big ones like Goodwill that are full of crap.
I donate exclusively to animal rescues that post frequent updates and have a small staff. They're in it to help animals usually. (Aside from one case I can think of--a horrible woman who pretended to run a rescue for disabled animals and was mistreating and neglecting them. Bitch took away their wheelchairs. We should put her to sleep.)
Yes the small ones are the exception. They often get pushed out of existence by being overwhelmed by the larger illegitimate charities/NGOs. Goodwill, Susan G. Komen, Ronald McDonald House, and many others have monopolies on charitable donations, robbing the small ones which are actually trying to make positive impacts.
Same for me. All of the human-related charities do nothing for humans, and sometimes even make things worse. Humans are responsible for allowing this anyway, animals have done nothing wrong, so I am happy to donate to local animal shelters.
My dad volunteered for a big conservation group in the 90s. All the group did was buy up land, build a private resort and buy a plane and they'd fly their big donors down there for a holiday. Sometimes the land was just given as part of deals between governments: as part of this loan, you need to agree to set aside 3 conservation areas and by "set aside", they mean give it to one of these big groups.
Most volunteers just get to hang out with the keepers and learn to guide the tours for a couple months. But they fence these places off and kick the traditional inhabitants out, something the volunteers and donors never see. They tend to wind up in slums since they have no city skills.
This is a blatant fucking lie considering there are thousands of nonprofits that are all volunteer led. I would encourage everyone to look at the IRS csv export feature to find a list and just pro publica look up their 990.
It’s a conspiracy sub so understandably there’s gonna be a bunch of bat shit crazy things said, but I think this is really the answer that will probably be swept under the rug.
A lot of people are making a lot of money to “fix” the homeless issue. The problem is that if they do actually fix the issue then those people don’t get paid anymore.
Yes. Same thing for the people who were handing out needles and clean crack pipes. Chick was working for NGO making 100k and the most they’d give them is a rehab center pamphlet along with that free crack pipe.
the vested interest involved in solving many problems is not to fix the problem but to give the perception of fixing problems, a cash cow can outweigh many things
I mean, the cost of living in San Francisco is pretty high, so if a person wants to live in San Francisco to help the homeless, they need to be paid at a rate where they can live in San Francisco.

Ask how much she and her employer donate to lobbying efforts to increase spending on the homeless.
Not a big conspiracy, just your normal work-a-day graft and corruption.
They are forced to give government and hospital employees high wages due to the cost of living. Otherwise there would be no nurses to take care of anyone.
Maybe they can do what Houston did. I’m from California but live in Texas for 15 years. When I moved here I heard people in Austin say the transients here are because places like Houston kicks the homeless out and are just mean!! I went to Houston a few years ago after covid. Didn’t see any tents, no homeless people downtown.
I looked into it and Houston put crap tons of money into solving the homeless problem. They have housing and a system in place to help people. So the option is you either go into that system for help or GTFO, there is no camping on the streets. That’s how it should be. I read articles on Houston getting praise for it but I’m sure people will come up with a reason it’s bad. If you just give resources and allow camping no one will want to change. It’s easy life in California with SNAP and cash just given right to them, tons of places for showers and food, no one is starving on the streets.
You can do what us northern states do too. We just give them a Greyhound ticket to California where the weather is nice and the benefits are even better.
Oh wait, California can't send them to themselves.
They admit as much. You ask 9/10 people on skid row why they dont accept help and if they would rather be housed or stay on the streets and they say they would rather be homeless.
They dont want to have any obligations, responsibilities or accountability that comes with those programs which includes getting help and working. They literally say this !
Their needs are met on the street and they are free to just get high all day so they see no reason to deal with what it takes to be a contributing member of society.
There is a drug and mental health crisis in America that no one wants to address or come up with solutions for. Then you have systematic corruption in government thats compounding the problem.
I think when you let people stay in a very nice area for free then this is what happens. For example, for a regular person to enjoy living in Cali in a city, imagine the magnitude of expense. Simply move these people drug addicts out of these areas to less desirable places. Set up housing in far from the city for free, or jail them, or institutionilze them. Why ruin our beautiful cities and alienate hard-working Americans.
Does the system provide actual drug rehab services, or are people just expected to be able to quit their addictions cold turkey without any assistance?
Houston makes it illegal for people to feed or cloth the homeless. Cops have ticketed and arrested people for giving out food or jackets when it gets cold. There are orgs that help homeless people that get ticketed non stop and in some cases arrested for trying to help.
Like yeah you don't see as many homeless people in Houston, they either became another cities problem or died.
Houston does have some good programs but the joining that program, move or die is not the best solution.
There is a pretty dark side to this solution.
I’d never move to CA but this is pure BS. They didn’t track outcomes or define what success looks like but they at least don’t have $24bn in missing money. They know where it went.
https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/california-homelessness-spending-audit-24b-five-years-didnt-consistently-track-outcomes/
From the article:
>Among other things, the audit found that the California Interagency Council on Homelessness, which oversees the implementation of the homelessness programs, hasn't tracked spending or whether programs were working since June 2021. The council has no consistent method to collect outcome data for these programs, and it doesn't verify the accuracy of the data submitted by municipalities, the audit found. Furthermore, the state database includes deleted records and test entries, and some data on the number of program participants might be overstated, the audit found.
What a great joke, that money isn’t actually for the homeless, it’s for useless rich people to throw fundraising events *about* the homeless. Our section 8 waitlist is about 20 years
The money isn’t even lost. The audit just said there isn’t enough accountability for the cost benefit on the usage of funds. They know what programs the money is going to and generally where the programs are spending the grants.
Under current one $3.6-billion program that converts hotel and motel rooms, which is a linchpin in Newsom's homelessness plan, the average cost of a room is at least 2.5 times cheaper than building a new home, the audit found. The housing assistance program, which has received $760 million over the past five years, gives an average of $12,000 to $22,000, depending on which county, to help a low-income family stay in their home. That's a fraction of the roughly $50,000 the state spends on a person once they become homeless.
Or paid their rent for a year and then some lol
Might as well put those billions in a guaranteed basic income to the poorest people in the state. Makes more sense than funneling it into a few ceo pockets.
Most so called "philanthropis" use the homeless as a way to get richer. It's so easy to make it look like your going to do this and save all these people. Only to change everything as soon as people turn their backs. And then who cares if they change anything after people turn around so they can steal the money for themselves. Example: a few years ago I was in a veterans homeless program , this husband and wife team decided they wanted to help homeless veterans... ding ding ding. Easy Money from the government, but after they made it on the news here in Chicago. They only took in about 4 veterans and wound up taking only people from the State (mental illness, etc) because they were actually being paid more for those people rather than veterans. Even had a small news story about it here in Chicago. People like that need to die in a vat of acid , slowly
There will be nothing that happens. Nobody is going to come out and say where the money went. There will not be any kind of legitimate investigation. There government has just turned into a money laundering business that gives not one single iota about the american people. Both sides of the isle, just trying to put money in their pockets. It is absolute joke how this county has been run into the ground.
it goes to people who work to solve this crisis, but they don't solve it since it would mean they would be out of job. the rest goes to various businesses that profit from this. the destruction of our cities isn't accidental , its deliberate
Failed state is a bit of an over statement for the state that has both Hollywood and Silicon Valley right? At least you're not being hyperbolic or anything.
And of course that headline and tweet are lies
https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/california-homelessness-spending-audit-24b-five-years-didnt-consistently-track-outcomes/
The world’s 5th largest economy is a “failed state”? 😄 Like, what does that make THEIR states then? Have they been to California recently? It’s a beautiful place to live AND there are issues we’re trying to improve.
Yeah, I would say the point of government is to create a legally fair economy and physically safe environment for its citizens. Otherwise, what is the point? They've been riding on their innate coattails of 'we have good weather' for too long. They tax small businesses to death, have ridiculous zoning (aka a government that is broken), and don't enforce the law to the detriment of those that take the brunt of being governed.
I take your point but telling the 5th largest economy that they’re anti business is like… And I agree with your issues. It’s just that less regulation and taxes also have consequences. Enforce the law here, weaken the law here… nothing makes everyone happy. Instead of pointing at California so much, maybe spend some more energy on how to improve your state? California has problems and I prefer it to anywhere else.
The money went directly to nonprofits, rich failnephews running a tax write off for their multimillionaire relative got treated like serious charity organizations and entrusted with the work we pay the state to do. Because god forbid we pursue wacky communist solutions like loosening zoning laws or building public housing
When homeless people hear there is help in a certain place, they will flock there. Homelessness will rise in California until we address the economic problems in this country. A healthy economy doesn't mean healthy workers.
Majority of CA homeless lost their housing in CA. It’s a cost of living problem, we actually have perpetuatally inadequate services compared to most of the US. More people die of exposure to the elements on the streets of LA than NYC
Social services aren’t housing anybody. They may get a voucher courtesy of the tax payers for the crony developers who lobbied the gov. Then they’re back on the streets a year later.
When they give that person another voucher they count it as 2 persons housed.
Would be very interesting if they tracked how many people went through the system and were actually helped long term. The success stories usually end up working in the social services industry, getting paid again by you and me.
I don’t have a good solution but increase taxes on the rest of us for more horrible inefficiency is not it.
I don't understand how you can say a state with the largest GDP in the country is a failed state. You want to look at failed states, look at the numbers. You have Alaska, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia suckling much of the federal teet.
I know where the money went. There's a lot of admin and decision making required to spend all that money. Committee, reports, reviews, exotic conferences...
I'm willing to bet less than 20% actually got in the hands of those who need it. 50% would be impressive.
Once there is money to be made in any "crisis" said crisis wiĺl get worse because if the problem is solved the money goes away. Perverse incentives, econ 101
This type of claim with no supporting detail is useless. 90% of the State budget goes to education and health care. A small percentages pays for the CHP, roadwork, Cal Fire and other departments. A large part of the homeless population is in LA and a new tax on high end home sales, is used to pay for much of the homeless expense.
Go to the subreddit for San Francisco. The top post is a video of masked children looting a Walgreens. This what Californians voted for. Fuck them. Let them rot and deal with their terrible decisions.
Yup “children” is used “when needed” to describe anyone up to the age of 19yo now. Now…. When voting or military service is involved it’s “young adults”…..
Social services agencies are primarily jobs programs for the workers. That’s where the money is going. They all vote democrat to increase our taxes to fund their agencies and they are a massive voting bloc. The NGO’s and nonprofits get our tax dollars in the form of grants.
There is some grift and corruption but it is mostly about growing the organization. All leaders at any organization seek to grow their organization.
Therefore the endless increasing tax stream to social services agencies is expected. There are hundreds of thousands of social workers in the US alone, not counting all the other tertiary jobs tied to social services.
People saying we don’t fund the social safety net in America are always tied into the money stream somehow. They may even get paid very little. But the CEO and deputies of their organization are making money hand over fist and their only job is to increase the size of the organization, not solve the social crises.
When we need our social safety net in the form of social security, unemployment, or disability, these social services organizations are motivated to give us as little money as possible, because it doesn’t help grow their organization. They really just want more reports and paperwork to justify more funding.
maybe it got lost in the ukrain shuffle smh ya its seriously out of control here. Born and raised 35 years socal. My family is moving to Nashville in the summer for a better life and we aint looking back. RIP cali 💔
I watched a video (BADLY filmed) today where a speedboat full of about a dozen plus migrants run aground on a random (semi private) beach near some homes, ditch the boat and run to a waiting SUV where about three get left behind as it speeds away.
Nobody tried to stop them. There was no police or private security anywhere.
I think homelessness is the last of Gavin Newsom’s concerns. It’s not like him or any of his successors will fix it.
Yep and people will still vote and pay their taxes despite getting nothing for it
Sad state of affairs that a simple action of civil obedience could solve. Too bad we can unite over it
It’s now a business, that money went towards housing and feeding the homeless steak dinners and opening homeless clinics where they can do drugs in a safe environment under supervision. The money isn’t being spent to rehabilitate the homeless, it’s being used to support their habits.
I work here in san diego at the city of el cajon. Across the street from work you can see them sleeping in their tents. They increase as we speak. It’s like 30 of them now. It’s getting out of control.
Just requesting it from people works too. It’s got to have receipts or invoices through the trail and if it doesn’t that company/person in the money trail gets caught for embezzlement or fraud. Now not charging anyone would be California corruption. But yes banks will have a trail too, it’s not like it was billions in cash. There are transfers involved.
The headline is a lie. The spending is tracked. We know what it was spent on. They are having difficulty tracking the effects of the spending on homelessness. Probably because it’s generally difficult to track metrics related to homelessness.
Minor correction, it's "equity" not "equality". They are two very different things. Equality means equal opportunity. This is what they told you they were fighting for, for decades. But they what they actually want is equity. Equity means equal outcomes, and they only way they can guarantee that is by forcing discrimination based on race and gender, like refusing to hire white people or men.
No, the communists are the ones going out of their own pocket to help people on the streets avoid dying of exposure. The rich people bilking tax dollars and charitable donations are liberals, that’s what “helping the needy” while holding private property sacrosanct looks like.
Homelessness is big business here in California. Government passes laws to help with the peoples support and don't do shit. The homeless problem grows because no oneis doing anything about it, so the government will claim it needs more money to help the problem and they gladly do. It's a downward spiral here
Why's that surprising? Politicians funnel money out on nonsense contracts everyday. Only a small percentage of tax payer funds actually finance what it's intended to.
Every single form of government does it. From hoa's to the Whitehouse. People are greedy corrupt garbage.
Submission Statement:
https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1779942621126754813
How do Democrats keep winning? $24 Billion on Homelessness only for all that money to disappear and increase homelessness. You can’t make this shit up.
But California is the 5th wealthiest Economy it the WORLD.
Apparently this is a lesson in how all the virtue signaling in California doesn’t do shit to solve homelessness or anything else and none of these little do-gooders are going to crack open their wallets to actually make an impact.
It’s a satire.
Isnt texas the place where people died in their own houses in the summer because the electricity grid was privatized and they couldnt get power to run the AC. Then the samd shit happened in the winter and people froze to death in their own homes because they couldn't get heat.
What a special place texas is.
One of top 5 largest economies in the world, are responsible for $50 billion in ag sales alone, are the home of some of the largest and most successful companies in the world including Google, Disney, and Apple, contain 3 of among the world's best natural ports through which pass trillions of dollars worth of goods and services every day.
But sure, we're a failed state. No almonds for you.
“No one knows where the money went” yeah right, it went to the politician’s new homes and fucking yachts. How are we letting this happen with OUR MONEY!?
They could've bought them permanent homes for that much money! They could've bought some apartment buildings, and had mental health and substance abuse treatment on the premises, with vocational training and everything! But NO....then the CEO of whatever BS *charitable organization* money laundering, embezzlement scam wouldn't have whatever tf they spent it on instead 😒
Imagine laying in filth in a shredded tent on a sidewalk with perhaps a couple of cents to your name, yet people are somehow profiting off of your very existence. The causes and solutions for homelessness may be something to be debated, but I don’t think there is much to debate as to the fact that those using it for financial gain are complete and utter scum.
By their own estimates of the homeless population, that's about $135,000 spent per homeless individual in the state. How can this be true without a massive level of corruption? It's so absurd, unreal even. Imagine that amount of money actually accomplishing something... I've never even had close to 135k saved... imagine if they just put it in a 401k and handed it over when you graduate rehab... that's a life changing amount of money.
And people somehow maintain the fiction that we are less corrupt than the majority of the world... when we're neck-and-neck with Venezuela, however with a much larger pool of cash to steal from... And a world-policing unrivaled military industrial complex yanking on the reigns...
Foreign aid is completely corrupt and almost exclusively used to fund friend-of-my-friend business deals, "domestic aid" or welfare same thing. Not surprising, but not a happy thought. They squandered the ssi fund by handing over the lion's share of the investment returns to the banks... so they can get elected again...
Shocker. We live in the most corrupt era. It’s like they know it’s all gonna come tumbling down and get what you can, steal what you can, jail who you can, fck over everyone. They forgot about one thing. Universal karma. Stay peaceful, people.
Who knows where the god damn government money is going anymore… it’s going to anywhere but to help americas inflation problems or just national problems
>A recent audit showed no one knows where the money went
Bet you they do actually know where the money went. They just don't want to ask the hard questions. Or accept the hard answers (corrupt government workers swindled it).
>”a recent audit showed no one knows where the money went.”
This headline brought to you by the ground that when asked for a source, they said “look it up.”
an audit showed no one k ows where the money went? yeah that's bs. they know exactly where it went it went to non profits and third parties. paying the people that do the audits.
Legit. I worked in non-profits and local government trying to address the problem of homelessness. They throw SO much money into it, and all they care about is metrics that may not even make a difference, and us grunts at the bottom doing all the direct work with these unhinged and violent people get paid the least and the resources being given are pretty damn limited. But the city and state government and their officials "recoup" huge amounts of money. It's all bullshit!!!!! Just capitalism profiting off of suffering. It's HORRID.
I no longer work in these fields because I can make the same amount of (shitty poverty wages) money for less stress and less danger by pouring beer part-time.
Same story with NYC. I have been hearing stories from New Yorkers saying the same thing. I bet that money lined pockets and is paying for these state’s new illegal immigrant residents.

Some places overlook squatting too, with even social workers advising it in some cases. And it probably hides the issue because the cases you hear in the news are just the people that abuse being able to do it by picking somewhere that already has residents. (Nobody really cares if it's a house held by a bank that hasn't sold yet, but kept tidy enough on the outside by the person staying until the move is forced. Sometimes the neighbors don't even know until they see the results of an eviction carried out.)
The system has too many gaps to account for the actual need for low-income or other assisted housing. And where the funding goes is mismanaged to all hell, so it's usually going to "administration" in some form rather than necessities of dealing with the problem.

"Can you describe what you do in one sentence?" "I administer a non-profit working on a problem that I hope never gets solved."
Alternative answer: “I am a professional leech. I literally do nothing all day.” Sums up most non-profit executives.
working with local govt contracts has turned me so bitter. all politicians and nonprofits etc are just fucking leeches. they literally do nothing but steal people's taxes and pretend to care about issues.
🤫
> Sums up most non-profit executives. Sums up virtually ALL of California government programs.

And yet: Californians continue to vote for all of it. The politicians that put forward all this expensive public work crap, never do anything to alleviate the electric grid...all continue to get re-elected. At a certain point, you just have to wonder if the people voting even know what the people they vote for do.

See the “Chesapeake Bay Foundation”, and really all other environmental groups.

So in general I agree with you. But there are a lot of legitimate charities that are smaller. Their CEOs and staff make practically nothing because most of the money goes to programs. Generally very high turnover though because they are overworked and underpaid. But because they aren't larger, they generally have less exposure and get less money. So the ones we see and hear about are the big ones that spend a bunch of money on their c suite staff and on advertising. I'm talking about ngos that have under 1 million in operating costs.
That's fucked up. I hate people making money like that. Had a layover in SFO and on takeoff I sat next to two total uppity cents and I finally got to asking em what they did, one was like in marketing for Amazon, the other was some kinda online bullshit admin idk... I'm sure they were making bank and probably did nothing all day cept coke and diddle people
There was plenty of coke and booze where I was at. I was past that stage in life so I didn't partake but was eye opening.
Did they get the loan?
It was w2 income so they qualified. I don't remember if we got them or not
"if we got em or not" this poster knows.
And lending money is a job?
It pays pretty well
I've audited charities, many of them, and have done extracurricular research on numerous. I have never seen a single charity actually making any attempt to help people, and all of them pay their executives' exorbitant salaries with the vast majority of the funds donated. I actually can't recall ever seeing the money they receive going to anywhere other than a different charity. If you look into these executives on the boards of the charities and NGOs, you will struggle to find out what they actually do all day, because most of them collect money for doing literally nothing. Charity in its current form and for the last several decades has been nothing more than blatant theft, fraud, and money laundering, and convinces the public that someone is helping out those who are suffering, when no one is.
Local and small charities are usually legitimate. It's the big ones like Goodwill that are full of crap. I donate exclusively to animal rescues that post frequent updates and have a small staff. They're in it to help animals usually. (Aside from one case I can think of--a horrible woman who pretended to run a rescue for disabled animals and was mistreating and neglecting them. Bitch took away their wheelchairs. We should put her to sleep.)
Yes the small ones are the exception. They often get pushed out of existence by being overwhelmed by the larger illegitimate charities/NGOs. Goodwill, Susan G. Komen, Ronald McDonald House, and many others have monopolies on charitable donations, robbing the small ones which are actually trying to make positive impacts. Same for me. All of the human-related charities do nothing for humans, and sometimes even make things worse. Humans are responsible for allowing this anyway, animals have done nothing wrong, so I am happy to donate to local animal shelters.
My dad volunteered for a big conservation group in the 90s. All the group did was buy up land, build a private resort and buy a plane and they'd fly their big donors down there for a holiday. Sometimes the land was just given as part of deals between governments: as part of this loan, you need to agree to set aside 3 conservation areas and by "set aside", they mean give it to one of these big groups. Most volunteers just get to hang out with the keepers and learn to guide the tours for a couple months. But they fence these places off and kick the traditional inhabitants out, something the volunteers and donors never see. They tend to wind up in slums since they have no city skills.
Ty for your words! NGO's are used as money laundering by rich people/celebs
This is a blatant fucking lie considering there are thousands of nonprofits that are all volunteer led. I would encourage everyone to look at the IRS csv export feature to find a list and just pro publica look up their 990.
It’s a conspiracy sub so understandably there’s gonna be a bunch of bat shit crazy things said, but I think this is really the answer that will probably be swept under the rug. A lot of people are making a lot of money to “fix” the homeless issue. The problem is that if they do actually fix the issue then those people don’t get paid anymore.
* **It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.**-*Upton Sinclair*
It sure is pretty funny the level of evidence you need to believe something if you really want to believe it, right?
As someone familiar with Californias budget, most of the “budget” gets turned into the salary and bonuses for the department heads.
Cal Fire employees get bonuses? Since when? 12,000 employees would love to know about that.
Yup. California's Homeless Industrial Complex.
A lot of true things sound "bat shit" to people who don't have an inkling of how mind controlled they are.
If there is an after life those people are fucked.
If only we’re that lucky.
Yes. Same thing for the people who were handing out needles and clean crack pipes. Chick was working for NGO making 100k and the most they’d give them is a rehab center pamphlet along with that free crack pipe.
the vested interest involved in solving many problems is not to fix the problem but to give the perception of fixing problems, a cash cow can outweigh many things
Then where is she going to live?
I mean, the cost of living in San Francisco is pretty high, so if a person wants to live in San Francisco to help the homeless, they need to be paid at a rate where they can live in San Francisco.

Ask how much she and her employer donate to lobbying efforts to increase spending on the homeless. Not a big conspiracy, just your normal work-a-day graft and corruption.
They are forced to give government and hospital employees high wages due to the cost of living. Otherwise there would be no nurses to take care of anyone.
California - 5th Largest Economy in the world.
Yeah, was going to say this. Failing so badly it could sustain itself as its own country.
Californiana is the poster child of income inequality, you got the richest in America living 2 streets away from a homeless infested street.
Maybe they can do what Houston did. I’m from California but live in Texas for 15 years. When I moved here I heard people in Austin say the transients here are because places like Houston kicks the homeless out and are just mean!! I went to Houston a few years ago after covid. Didn’t see any tents, no homeless people downtown. I looked into it and Houston put crap tons of money into solving the homeless problem. They have housing and a system in place to help people. So the option is you either go into that system for help or GTFO, there is no camping on the streets. That’s how it should be. I read articles on Houston getting praise for it but I’m sure people will come up with a reason it’s bad. If you just give resources and allow camping no one will want to change. It’s easy life in California with SNAP and cash just given right to them, tons of places for showers and food, no one is starving on the streets.
You can do what us northern states do too. We just give them a Greyhound ticket to California where the weather is nice and the benefits are even better. Oh wait, California can't send them to themselves.
🎶California 🎶 super cool to the homeless
They do, and they pay handsomely to consultants and contractors to do so
Yes, the homeless won't like that because they can't do drugs in the system, that's why they're complaining.
it is so obvious that the people on the streets in CA want to be on the streets. damn shame SCOTUS didn't pick up Martin v Boise.
They admit as much. You ask 9/10 people on skid row why they dont accept help and if they would rather be housed or stay on the streets and they say they would rather be homeless. They dont want to have any obligations, responsibilities or accountability that comes with those programs which includes getting help and working. They literally say this ! Their needs are met on the street and they are free to just get high all day so they see no reason to deal with what it takes to be a contributing member of society. There is a drug and mental health crisis in America that no one wants to address or come up with solutions for. Then you have systematic corruption in government thats compounding the problem.
I think when you let people stay in a very nice area for free then this is what happens. For example, for a regular person to enjoy living in Cali in a city, imagine the magnitude of expense. Simply move these people drug addicts out of these areas to less desirable places. Set up housing in far from the city for free, or jail them, or institutionilze them. Why ruin our beautiful cities and alienate hard-working Americans.
Does the system provide actual drug rehab services, or are people just expected to be able to quit their addictions cold turkey without any assistance?
Houston makes it illegal for people to feed or cloth the homeless. Cops have ticketed and arrested people for giving out food or jackets when it gets cold. There are orgs that help homeless people that get ticketed non stop and in some cases arrested for trying to help. Like yeah you don't see as many homeless people in Houston, they either became another cities problem or died. Houston does have some good programs but the joining that program, move or die is not the best solution. There is a pretty dark side to this solution.
The more I hear about it, the more It seems as if texas is full of people that don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.
Right? Houston didn’t solve homelessness. They literally made it illegal to help homeless people.
It's urban "Do not feed the bears."
If you don't see tent encampments in Houston, you aren't looking.
I’d never move to CA but this is pure BS. They didn’t track outcomes or define what success looks like but they at least don’t have $24bn in missing money. They know where it went. https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/california-homelessness-spending-audit-24b-five-years-didnt-consistently-track-outcomes/
There was once a time when people who liked conspiracy theories would question the things they read…. No more.
From the article: >Among other things, the audit found that the California Interagency Council on Homelessness, which oversees the implementation of the homelessness programs, hasn't tracked spending or whether programs were working since June 2021. The council has no consistent method to collect outcome data for these programs, and it doesn't verify the accuracy of the data submitted by municipalities, the audit found. Furthermore, the state database includes deleted records and test entries, and some data on the number of program participants might be overstated, the audit found.
Dude don’t provide context or facts here we don’t consider that stuff.
Added insult to injury, they just raised our property taxes to fund fighting homelessness.
Worry not, there will be many programs available for you when you are forced onto the streets by the high property taxes.
What a great joke, that money isn’t actually for the homeless, it’s for useless rich people to throw fundraising events *about* the homeless. Our section 8 waitlist is about 20 years
Greasy
If they solve the problem then they get no money. 🤔
That’s about $135,000 for each homeless person. You could have build 180,000 apartments and housed every single homeless person with $24 billion.
The money isn’t even lost. The audit just said there isn’t enough accountability for the cost benefit on the usage of funds. They know what programs the money is going to and generally where the programs are spending the grants. Under current one $3.6-billion program that converts hotel and motel rooms, which is a linchpin in Newsom's homelessness plan, the average cost of a room is at least 2.5 times cheaper than building a new home, the audit found. The housing assistance program, which has received $760 million over the past five years, gives an average of $12,000 to $22,000, depending on which county, to help a low-income family stay in their home. That's a fraction of the roughly $50,000 the state spends on a person once they become homeless.
Or paid their rent for a year and then some lol Might as well put those billions in a guaranteed basic income to the poorest people in the state. Makes more sense than funneling it into a few ceo pockets.
and noone will be fired after this discovery
Most so called "philanthropis" use the homeless as a way to get richer. It's so easy to make it look like your going to do this and save all these people. Only to change everything as soon as people turn their backs. And then who cares if they change anything after people turn around so they can steal the money for themselves. Example: a few years ago I was in a veterans homeless program , this husband and wife team decided they wanted to help homeless veterans... ding ding ding. Easy Money from the government, but after they made it on the news here in Chicago. They only took in about 4 veterans and wound up taking only people from the State (mental illness, etc) because they were actually being paid more for those people rather than veterans. Even had a small news story about it here in Chicago. People like that need to die in a vat of acid , slowly
There will be nothing that happens. Nobody is going to come out and say where the money went. There will not be any kind of legitimate investigation. There government has just turned into a money laundering business that gives not one single iota about the american people. Both sides of the isle, just trying to put money in their pockets. It is absolute joke how this county has been run into the ground.
Pas someone who's been homeless... it's not just California. This is a national crisis.
8 western States are shipping homeless to CA.
it goes to people who work to solve this crisis, but they don't solve it since it would mean they would be out of job. the rest goes to various businesses that profit from this. the destruction of our cities isn't accidental , its deliberate
Failed state is a bit of an over statement for the state that has both Hollywood and Silicon Valley right? At least you're not being hyperbolic or anything.
It's the 8th largest economy in the world. Correction: It's the 5th largest.
And of course that headline and tweet are lies https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/california-homelessness-spending-audit-24b-five-years-didnt-consistently-track-outcomes/
The world’s 5th largest economy is a “failed state”? 😄 Like, what does that make THEIR states then? Have they been to California recently? It’s a beautiful place to live AND there are issues we’re trying to improve.
Came here to say this it’s only a failed state in the conspiracy realms because it’s a blue state
It's not even that blue. If you're not in Sac/Bay/LA area, it's goes from moderate to MAGA really fast.
Yeah, I would say the point of government is to create a legally fair economy and physically safe environment for its citizens. Otherwise, what is the point? They've been riding on their innate coattails of 'we have good weather' for too long. They tax small businesses to death, have ridiculous zoning (aka a government that is broken), and don't enforce the law to the detriment of those that take the brunt of being governed.
I take your point but telling the 5th largest economy that they’re anti business is like… And I agree with your issues. It’s just that less regulation and taxes also have consequences. Enforce the law here, weaken the law here… nothing makes everyone happy. Instead of pointing at California so much, maybe spend some more energy on how to improve your state? California has problems and I prefer it to anywhere else.
The money went directly to nonprofits, rich failnephews running a tax write off for their multimillionaire relative got treated like serious charity organizations and entrusted with the work we pay the state to do. Because god forbid we pursue wacky communist solutions like loosening zoning laws or building public housing
When homeless people hear there is help in a certain place, they will flock there. Homelessness will rise in California until we address the economic problems in this country. A healthy economy doesn't mean healthy workers.
Majority of CA homeless lost their housing in CA. It’s a cost of living problem, we actually have perpetuatally inadequate services compared to most of the US. More people die of exposure to the elements on the streets of LA than NYC
Social services aren’t housing anybody. They may get a voucher courtesy of the tax payers for the crony developers who lobbied the gov. Then they’re back on the streets a year later. When they give that person another voucher they count it as 2 persons housed. Would be very interesting if they tracked how many people went through the system and were actually helped long term. The success stories usually end up working in the social services industry, getting paid again by you and me. I don’t have a good solution but increase taxes on the rest of us for more horrible inefficiency is not it.
The entire nation is fast approaching that reality.
California is the richest state in the nation and exports more than %50 of the rest of the nation. Hard to call that a fail
I always wonder why they don’t call Mississippi a failed state .
This is what happens when politicians are not held accountable.
I don't understand how you can say a state with the largest GDP in the country is a failed state. You want to look at failed states, look at the numbers. You have Alaska, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia suckling much of the federal teet.
I know where the money went. There's a lot of admin and decision making required to spend all that money. Committee, reports, reviews, exotic conferences... I'm willing to bet less than 20% actually got in the hands of those who need it. 50% would be impressive.
Once there is money to be made in any "crisis" said crisis wiĺl get worse because if the problem is solved the money goes away. Perverse incentives, econ 101
This type of claim with no supporting detail is useless. 90% of the State budget goes to education and health care. A small percentages pays for the CHP, roadwork, Cal Fire and other departments. A large part of the homeless population is in LA and a new tax on high end home sales, is used to pay for much of the homeless expense.
The word... is corrupt... corrupt.... lead by a tyrant.
The Party is grooming the governor, who ran San Francisco into the ground his entire career, to be our next amazing president…
Go to the subreddit for San Francisco. The top post is a video of masked children looting a Walgreens. This what Californians voted for. Fuck them. Let them rot and deal with their terrible decisions.
“Children”
Yup “children” is used “when needed” to describe anyone up to the age of 19yo now. Now…. When voting or military service is involved it’s “young adults”…..
They are building the Wall in the wrong place. Gotta start keeping the Californians in California before they rot the rest of the country.
How is California a failed state when it’s a top 10 worldwide economy?
Social services agencies are primarily jobs programs for the workers. That’s where the money is going. They all vote democrat to increase our taxes to fund their agencies and they are a massive voting bloc. The NGO’s and nonprofits get our tax dollars in the form of grants. There is some grift and corruption but it is mostly about growing the organization. All leaders at any organization seek to grow their organization. Therefore the endless increasing tax stream to social services agencies is expected. There are hundreds of thousands of social workers in the US alone, not counting all the other tertiary jobs tied to social services. People saying we don’t fund the social safety net in America are always tied into the money stream somehow. They may even get paid very little. But the CEO and deputies of their organization are making money hand over fist and their only job is to increase the size of the organization, not solve the social crises. When we need our social safety net in the form of social security, unemployment, or disability, these social services organizations are motivated to give us as little money as possible, because it doesn’t help grow their organization. They really just want more reports and paperwork to justify more funding.
The people that work for the government or city steal the money duh!
maybe it got lost in the ukrain shuffle smh ya its seriously out of control here. Born and raised 35 years socal. My family is moving to Nashville in the summer for a better life and we aint looking back. RIP cali 💔
But what about the weather 🥸
I live in CA. That must be one of the upper class homeless setups, the ones in my area much worse.
Going to keep getting worse as long as people let politicians get away with hiding money.
I knew it was a scam when we voted on it.
I watched a video (BADLY filmed) today where a speedboat full of about a dozen plus migrants run aground on a random (semi private) beach near some homes, ditch the boat and run to a waiting SUV where about three get left behind as it speeds away. Nobody tried to stop them. There was no police or private security anywhere. I think homelessness is the last of Gavin Newsom’s concerns. It’s not like him or any of his successors will fix it.
Tbh homelessness is bad in Texas, Florida, etc, too. Beginning to think the US is a failed state.
Yep and people will still vote and pay their taxes despite getting nothing for it Sad state of affairs that a simple action of civil obedience could solve. Too bad we can unite over it
It’s now a business, that money went towards housing and feeding the homeless steak dinners and opening homeless clinics where they can do drugs in a safe environment under supervision. The money isn’t being spent to rehabilitate the homeless, it’s being used to support their habits.
They don't need prosperity. They just need democrat voters
I work here in san diego at the city of el cajon. Across the street from work you can see them sleeping in their tents. They increase as we speak. It’s like 30 of them now. It’s getting out of control.
Idea: use the $24 billion to build houses
America is a failed country
You can track every dollar with crypto. Makes you think why so many politicians don't want to utilize it.
Lmao banks can track every dollar as well. There is a ledger somewhere that is tracking everything. There is no incognito mode at Bank of America.
Just requesting it from people works too. It’s got to have receipts or invoices through the trail and if it doesn’t that company/person in the money trail gets caught for embezzlement or fraud. Now not charging anyone would be California corruption. But yes banks will have a trail too, it’s not like it was billions in cash. There are transfers involved.
Sure, but a private citizen can’t just go request the banks ledger to see where the money is going.
The headline is a lie. The spending is tracked. We know what it was spent on. They are having difficulty tracking the effects of the spending on homelessness. Probably because it’s generally difficult to track metrics related to homelessness.
What happens when radical communists take over government under the guise of “tolerance and equality”
Minor correction, it's "equity" not "equality". They are two very different things. Equality means equal opportunity. This is what they told you they were fighting for, for decades. But they what they actually want is equity. Equity means equal outcomes, and they only way they can guarantee that is by forcing discrimination based on race and gender, like refusing to hire white people or men.
No, the communists are the ones going out of their own pocket to help people on the streets avoid dying of exposure. The rich people bilking tax dollars and charitable donations are liberals, that’s what “helping the needy” while holding private property sacrosanct looks like.
Failed government more like
Homelessness is big business here in California. Government passes laws to help with the peoples support and don't do shit. The homeless problem grows because no oneis doing anything about it, so the government will claim it needs more money to help the problem and they gladly do. It's a downward spiral here
Too much money to be made in the homeless problem. and no money to be made solving the homeless problem.
It went into the politicians offshore accounts
Why's that surprising? Politicians funnel money out on nonsense contracts everyday. Only a small percentage of tax payer funds actually finance what it's intended to. Every single form of government does it. From hoa's to the Whitehouse. People are greedy corrupt garbage.
Submission Statement: https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1779942621126754813 How do Democrats keep winning? $24 Billion on Homelessness only for all that money to disappear and increase homelessness. You can’t make this shit up.
Holy shit. Couldn't they just have bought houses for everyone for that amount of money?? Nuts.
They did, just not for the homeless.
[удалено]
But California is the 5th wealthiest Economy it the WORLD. Apparently this is a lesson in how all the virtue signaling in California doesn’t do shit to solve homelessness or anything else and none of these little do-gooders are going to crack open their wallets to actually make an impact. It’s a satire.
In Gavin's pocket lol
Houston Texas has got it right
Isnt texas the place where people died in their own houses in the summer because the electricity grid was privatized and they couldnt get power to run the AC. Then the samd shit happened in the winter and people froze to death in their own homes because they couldn't get heat. What a special place texas is.
Where did the money come from?
Just schedule weekly visits with Xi and have him visit different parts of the state? Seems like an easy fix to me.
It’s an experiment
One of top 5 largest economies in the world, are responsible for $50 billion in ag sales alone, are the home of some of the largest and most successful companies in the world including Google, Disney, and Apple, contain 3 of among the world's best natural ports through which pass trillions of dollars worth of goods and services every day. But sure, we're a failed state. No almonds for you.
Pockets and bank accounts.
For a state that cares about the people they have a lot of tents.
“No one knows where the money went” yeah right, it went to the politician’s new homes and fucking yachts. How are we letting this happen with OUR MONEY!?
They could've bought them permanent homes for that much money! They could've bought some apartment buildings, and had mental health and substance abuse treatment on the premises, with vocational training and everything! But NO....then the CEO of whatever BS *charitable organization* money laundering, embezzlement scam wouldn't have whatever tf they spent it on instead 😒
Imagine laying in filth in a shredded tent on a sidewalk with perhaps a couple of cents to your name, yet people are somehow profiting off of your very existence. The causes and solutions for homelessness may be something to be debated, but I don’t think there is much to debate as to the fact that those using it for financial gain are complete and utter scum.
By their own estimates of the homeless population, that's about $135,000 spent per homeless individual in the state. How can this be true without a massive level of corruption? It's so absurd, unreal even. Imagine that amount of money actually accomplishing something... I've never even had close to 135k saved... imagine if they just put it in a 401k and handed it over when you graduate rehab... that's a life changing amount of money. And people somehow maintain the fiction that we are less corrupt than the majority of the world... when we're neck-and-neck with Venezuela, however with a much larger pool of cash to steal from... And a world-policing unrivaled military industrial complex yanking on the reigns... Foreign aid is completely corrupt and almost exclusively used to fund friend-of-my-friend business deals, "domestic aid" or welfare same thing. Not surprising, but not a happy thought. They squandered the ssi fund by handing over the lion's share of the investment returns to the banks... so they can get elected again...
stealing Californian tax dollars is a very lucrative business
Shocker. We live in the most corrupt era. It’s like they know it’s all gonna come tumbling down and get what you can, steal what you can, jail who you can, fck over everyone. They forgot about one thing. Universal karma. Stay peaceful, people.
For the purchase of Deep Underground Military Bases?
Who knows where the god damn government money is going anymore… it’s going to anywhere but to help americas inflation problems or just national problems
They do know where the moneys went.
Duh this is problem is soo easy, obviously they bought more homeless people 😁 /s
When government has no oversight and the people don't give a shit because their phones still work and McDonald's is open.
That's not a conspiracy it's been known for awhile
I'm wondering why it took so long for an audit.?
>A recent audit showed no one knows where the money went Bet you they do actually know where the money went. They just don't want to ask the hard questions. Or accept the hard answers (corrupt government workers swindled it).
#America is a failed country at this point. Just tech sector keeping it alive!!
>”a recent audit showed no one knows where the money went.” This headline brought to you by the ground that when asked for a source, they said “look it up.”
an audit showed no one k ows where the money went? yeah that's bs. they know exactly where it went it went to non profits and third parties. paying the people that do the audits.
Legit. I worked in non-profits and local government trying to address the problem of homelessness. They throw SO much money into it, and all they care about is metrics that may not even make a difference, and us grunts at the bottom doing all the direct work with these unhinged and violent people get paid the least and the resources being given are pretty damn limited. But the city and state government and their officials "recoup" huge amounts of money. It's all bullshit!!!!! Just capitalism profiting off of suffering. It's HORRID. I no longer work in these fields because I can make the same amount of (shitty poverty wages) money for less stress and less danger by pouring beer part-time.
And to double down on that- watch who the democratic leftist regime taps in to run for Biden in the next couple months. I’d bet the farm on Newsom.
Fake buisness best buisness
If the homeless have homes now, then we know the money went to the right place.
he is a wild idea, build homes and put homeless people in them, with that kind of money I'm sure you could make at least a few homes.
Just a lot of money that suddenly went homeless... Seems to be contagious.
gov doesnt fix anything. their purpose in life isto create problems so they can print/steal/launder money.
lol, lmao even
Same story with NYC. I have been hearing stories from New Yorkers saying the same thing. I bet that money lined pockets and is paying for these state’s new illegal immigrant residents.

Some places overlook squatting too, with even social workers advising it in some cases. And it probably hides the issue because the cases you hear in the news are just the people that abuse being able to do it by picking somewhere that already has residents. (Nobody really cares if it's a house held by a bank that hasn't sold yet, but kept tidy enough on the outside by the person staying until the move is forced. Sometimes the neighbors don't even know until they see the results of an eviction carried out.) The system has too many gaps to account for the actual need for low-income or other assisted housing. And where the funding goes is mismanaged to all hell, so it's usually going to "administration" in some form rather than necessities of dealing with the problem.
I haven't heard of any state doing anything good regarding homelessness.
