DESCRIPTION:Potluck Brunch   &   Resistance Roundtable \n\nThe Homeless (Lack of) 
 Services Center [HLOSC] has lost less than 1/5th of their budget due to 
 state-directed federal budget cuts.  \n\nIt could tighten its belt and 
 mobilize the community. \n\nInstead  the HLOSC has chosen to abruptly close 
 down its meals, showers, mail, bathroom,laundry, the Paul Lee Loft, the 
 Page Smith Community House, and the Resuscitation Center.  \n\nThis will 
 happen at the end of June.  According to a long-time worker there, these 
 cuts and closures will still happen even if the funding is restored or 
 volunteers agree to take on the tasks there.  \n\nOne hundred or more 
 disabled, sick, and vulnerable clients will be dumped out on the streets to 
 join the 1500-2000 there in the City.  Volunteers there believe this could 
 be a death sentence for some.   Others will face the revived Sleeping Ban 
 with its $157 nightly fines.,  \n\nThis apparently is a part of the HLOSC's 
 decision to jettison emergency services.  It's part of yet another 
 heavy-on-PR  short-on-funding program plans focusing on (the image but not 
 the substance) "long-term housing".\n\nThe federal government abandoned its 
 commitment to housing under Reagan over 30 years ago and currently has no 
 plans to fund the massive housing needed.  Too busy with more foreign wars, 
 police gear, and bankster bolstering perhaps.\n\nThere is no indication in 
 City and County budget hearings, that either are willing to shift money 
 (say from the City's bloated $25 million police budget).  The HLOSC has so 
 far declined several requests to release its budget for public 
 inspection.\n\nEmergency services must be restored--hopefully under 
 client-run and community-transparent control.\n  \nCome Together to Support 
 Community Restoration and Expansion of the Basic Services That Bureaucrats, 
 Bigots, & Buckgrabbers are Cutting Off July 1st \n \nFood Not Bombs  
 activists will be supplying and serving food.\n\nBring food, friends, 
 cameras, and conscience! \n\nMore info on a four-way discussion on Free 
 Radio Santa Cruz between Stephen Nelson,  Andy Carcello,  Mike O'Grady, and
