More than 46,000 people applied for housing vouchers the last time SHRA opened the waiting list, in September 2014. Sarah Thomas, assistant director of the Housing Choice Voucher program, said the number could top 50,000 by next week’s deadline. |
Eligibility is based primarily on income. A family of three can earn no more than $33,400 per year to qualify for a place on the voucher list. Individuals or families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, along with military veterans and people with disabilities, will receive priority, Thomas said. |
Once the application deadline passes, 7,000 applicants will be selected from a random computerized process to join the waiting list. They will be notified once housing becomes available, which Thomas said could take as long as “one to two” years. |
Under the program, families generally pay landlords in the private market about 30 percent of their income toward rent and utilities in apartments or homes that fall within SHRA’s financial guidelines. The federal Housing and Urban Development Agency, through the local housing authority, pays the difference. Recipients... |
To help address the Sacramento area’s growing homelessness and affordable housing crises, Mayor Darrell Steinberg this week proposed spending $21 million over the next three years to subsidize construction of hundreds of small homes. |
During the annual State of Downtown address at Memorial Auditorium on Tuesday, Steinberg said the city would ask for concepts from the development community to build up to 1,000 “efficient housing opportunities.” He proposed using hundreds of public housing vouchers at the city’s disposal to finance new construction of... |
The mayor also called on the private sector to raise $20 million for housing and homeless shelters. He said that Sutter Health has agreed to donate $5 million to the cause if a matching $5 million is found. |
Erlenbusch pointed to a state code that allows cities and counties to declare an “emergency shelter crisis,” which would allow public facilities to be used as emergency shelters, as well as loosen the zoning requirements for siting emergency shelter programs. |

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysian authorities say they will deport a Saudi journalist accused of insulting the Prophet Muhammad on Twitter, despite concerns from rights groups that he may be persecuted at home. |
Jiddah-based newspaper columnist Hamza Kashgari was detained Thursday upon his arrival in Malaysia. Some Saudis have reportedly made death threats against him or called for him to face criminal charges over remarks he tweeted that many considered offensive. |
Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said Sunday that the 23-year-old Kashgari would be deported and that any charges against him are "a matter for the Saudi Arabian authorities." |
Muhammad Afiq Mohamad Nor, a lawyer appointed by Kashgari's family, said he had obtained a court order to halt the Saudi's deportation. |
OLIVIER GIROUD is the most lethal Champions League striker in Arsenal's history - and he has the stats to prove it. |
And Gunners midfielder Mathieu Flamini insists it is high time people started taking the hit man seriously. |
Since Giroud's £12m arrival from Montpellier, the France international has struggled to capture the imagination of the Arsenal fans. |
They have wanted a stellar name to lead the line who they see as fit to fill the boots of Thierry Henry, Robin Van Persie, Dennis Bergkamp and Ian Wright. |
But after becoming only the seventh man to reach double figures for Arsenal in the Champions League proper with his hat-trick against Olympiakos, Giroud has eclipsed the lot of them. |
He has taken 21 matches to hit that ten-goal mark - a game less than Henry and eight less than Van Persie. |
What is more, Giroud's strikes have come in vital group-deciders and against strong outfits from Germany and Italy. |
Which is why it was of little surprise to Flamini that Giroud single-handedly rescued Arsenal's attempt to make it to their 16th successive knockout phase. |
"All great strikers have to respond in the big games and this was a good test for us and he responded well," Flamini said. |
"It was a great performance from him and he helped the team very much and is a top scorer. Olivier did a great job because every time he had an opportunity, he put it in. |
Even Wenger seemed to have some doubts earlier this season, dropping Giroud to give Theo Walcott a chance to operate up front. |
"I think competition is very important in the big teams. Competition makes players stronger and that is what happened," Flamini added. |
A developer specializing in mobile apps for US conservatives is under fire for threatening to call the Feds on someone who reported security shortcomings in its software. |
On Tuesday, a French infosec bod, going under the Mr Robot-themed pseudonym Elliot Alderson and handle fs0c131y, notified 63red that it had left hard-coded credentials in its Yelp-for-Trumpistas smartphone application, and that whoever built its backend APIs had forgotten to implement any meaningful form of authenticat... |
63red made headlines earlier this month when it launched the app, which lets users rate and share details of businesses that are friendly to conservatives. In particular, if a restaurant, bar, or whatever, and its patrons, don't mind you wearing a red Make America Great Again (MAGA) hat, they can be highlighted as such... |
Alderson poked around inside the Android build of the app, and spotted a few of insecure practices, including the username and password of the programmer, and a lack of authentication on its backend APIs, allowing anyone to pull up user account information, and potentially slurp the app's entire user database. It's als... |
The reaction from 63red was far from gracious. The biz responded by accusing the researcher carrying out a "politically motivated attack," and promised to report the matter to the FBI. |
"We see this person’s illegal and failed attempts to access our database servers as a politically-motivated attacked, and will be reporting it to the FBI later today," 63red's statement reads. "We hope that, just as in the case of many other politically-motivated internet attacks, this perpetrator will be brought to ju... |
63red described the privacy issues as a "minor problem," and noted that no user passwords were exposed nor any user data changed. |
Alderson said he is not particularly worried about the threats, noting that he did not have to break into any systems nor commit any crime to see data that the developer had left out in the open. |
Meanwhile, members of the infosec community are raking the app developer over the coals for its handling of the vulnerability report. |
Looks like @fs0c131y 's research revealing a rookie security mistake of having NO authentication on an API has triggered Stage 1 & 2 in the 5 Stages of Vulnerability Response Grief https://t.co/9REgvy2x33 . |

KIEV, Ukraine – Ukraine let Russian agents kidnap an anti-Kremlin activist seeking asylum in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev and forcibly bring him back to Moscow, the main opposition party charged Thursday. |
The party led by jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko claims that President Viktor Yanukovych sanctioned the abduction of Leonid Razvozzhayev in order to secure the Kremlin's backing for Sunday's parliamentary election in Ukraine. |
"The special services of a foreign state are operating on Ukraine's territory," said Tymoshenko ally Arseniy Yatsenyuk. |
Yanukovych, who visited Moscow earlier this week, has been courting the Kremlin to seek a rebate on Russian natural gas supplies. A lower gas price is essential to keep the struggling Ukrainian economy afloat and would secure public support for Yanukovych and his party. |
Razvozzhayev, a 39-year-old Russian opposition activist, had come to Kiev last week to seek political asylum in Ukraine after Russian investigators accused him of being involved in plotting anti-government riots. |
Razvozzhayev told Russian human rights defenders who visited him in a Moscow jail that he was kidnapped on a Kiev street by masked men who smuggled him into Russia. He said they kept him in handcuffs and leg chains in a basement for three days, denying him food, water, sleep or use of a toilet. He also said they threat... |
Russian authorities say Razvozzhayev turned himself in and confessed voluntarily. |
Razvozzhayev's lawyer, Mark Feigin, said on Ekho Moskvy radio Thursday that his client has formally disavowed his confessions and filed a complaint over his abduction to Russia's main investigative agency. |
Ukraine's Foreign Ministry and the national security agency have declined to comment on the matter. But Interior Ministry spokesman Volodymyr Polishchuk on Thursday allowed for the possibility that Russian security services could have been involved in Razvozzhayev's abduction. |
"How did it happen? Did they ask him to (go) of his own free will? Or did they just force him? I don't know," Polishchuk told The Associated Press. |
Either way, Polishchuk said, what happened to Razvozzhayev did not constitute a crime because he is "alive and well" and the Interior Ministry will not press charges. |
"This is not the province of the police. The police deal with criminal actions," he said. |
Yatsenyuk vowed that the opposition would press for a parliamentary probe into Razvozzhayev's case. |
Human Rights Watch, meanwhile, has urged Ukraine to thoroughly investigate Razvozzhayev's abduction. |
"For an asylum seeker to simply vanish while lodging his asylum claims and then reappear in the country he fled is profoundly shocking," said Hugh Williamson, Europe and Central Asia director at Human Rights Watch. "There needs to be a serious investigation to determine whether any Ukrainian officials were involved and... |
The Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees also voiced concern about Razvozzhayev's fate, emphasizing Thursday that he was protected by international refugee law as an asylum-seeker. |
The agency said it was seeking Russia's clarification of Razvozzhayev's condition and status and warned Ukraine that it must make sure that asylum seekers aren't exposed to personal risks. |
The Russian Foreign Ministry responded angrily after the U.S. Embassy in Moscow voiced concern about Razvozzhayev's case, rejecting the U.S. statement as "hasty" and "improper" and noting claims that the CIA had tortured some detainees. |
Razvozzhayev's case was reminiscent of the disappearance last year of a Palestinian engineer from a Ukrainian train. He surfaced in an Israeli prison several days later to face terrorism charges. Kiev has still failed to explain how that happened. |

When Officer Justin Scherlen of the Amarillo Police Department died two weeks ago from complications from an on-duty vehicle crash, he left behind his wife, Jessica, and their kids, Fox 8 reported. |
For the first time, the children’s father would not be there for them on their first day of school, so Scherlen’s department planned a very special tribute to him. |
Dozens of cops—“an army of stand-ins”, as the school called them— came over to the Scherlens’ home and escorted the heartbroken kids to school. |
Justin “would be very proud of how his brothers and sisters have stepped up to be here for his kids,” Jessica Scherlen said. |
