\u201cI try to spend a couple of hours a day here,\u201d she says, \u201cjust because I love the community. I want to talk to people and make sure they are getting linked to the resources they need. If they\u2019re supposed to have a case manager come see them, is the case manager doing that?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Groups of people sitting in rows of chairs on a sidewalk greet passers-by\u2014as if this slice of sidewalk were an array of front porches in a neighborhood. \u201cHi, Sieglinde!\u201d calls one woman in a wicker chair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHas anyone been by to check on you?\u201d Sieglinde asks her. No, the woman replies. \u201cI\u2019m worried about your health,\u201d Sieglinde tells her, saying she will find someone to check on her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On another block, a young woman stops Sieglinde. \u201cI\u2019m ready for housing,\u201d she says. \u201cI want to get my kids back. I have four kids.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo to the Care Campus and ask for a case worker,\u201d Sieglinde instructs her. \u201cIf you have had mental health issues\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t,\u201d interrupts the woman, \u201cbut I wouldn\u2019t mind some therapy.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
A woman with vivid purple hair smiles and stops to talk to Sieglinde. \u201cI love the purple,\u201d says Sieglinde. The woman, who had been living outside, now lives in interim housing in a single-room occupancy building with supportive services for homeless and low-income individuals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe has her own room,\u201d says Sieglinde. \u201cShe\u2019s done well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI try to spend a couple of hours a day here,\u201d she says, \u201cjust because I love the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":464372,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,47,50,49,21854],"class_list":["post-464371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-news-updates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=464371"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464371\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/464372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=464371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=464371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=464371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
