By Saeed Villanueva |Staff Writer| San Bernardino fights scarcity by concentrating on homelessness and providing food for lower-income families, but the numbers show the city still has a long way to go in their efforts against poverty. San Bernardino has been through a lot since the city filed for bankruptcy in 2012 and has made gradual improvements to rebuild its economy each year. The county has made strides to improve its homeless situations by creating programs that find shelter for them. The Stepup program has found shelter for plenty of homeless people within the last year. “There are 131 individuals who are chronically homeless and we’ve managed to find shelter for 50 … [Read more...] about SB fights against poverty

Opinion: Homeless People are More than Just a Number

May 9, 2017 by Saeed Villanueva Leave a Comment

By Saeed Villanueva |Staff Writer| Within the media, we have seen talks about the homeless population being a problem in Los Angeles and San Bernardino County. This usually comes in forms of language, because the homeless are referred to as a problem or as a number rather than a person. I admit I have been guilty of this in the past of seeing someone homeless and disregarding them without acknowledging that these are real people. These people have names, families and come from different places. The media on the other hand generally portrays the homeless as a burden to society and puts the blame on them for being the problem rather than focusing on them as individuals. It is … [Read more...] about Opinion: Homeless People are More than Just a Number

By Saeed Villanueva |Staff Writer| High school graduation rates are on the rise in San Bernardino, but are still below state average. San Bernardino has suffered from low high school graduation rates for years, but has been on a gradual incline since 2010.
