A new 'solution' to student homelessness: A parking lot where students can sleep safely in their cars By James Bernal for The Hechinger Report via Stacker

W

hen Edgar Rosales Jr. uses the word “home,” the second-year college student with a linebacker’s build isn’t referring to the house he plans to buy after becoming a nurse or getting a job in public health. Rather, the student at California’s Long Beach City College is talking about the parking lot he slept in every night for more than a year. With Oprah-esque enthusiasm, Rosales calls the other students who use LBCC’s Safe Parking Program his “roommates” or “neighbors.” Between 8 and 10:30 p.m., those neighbors drive onto the lot, where staff park during the day. Nearby showers open at 6 a.m. Sleeping in a car may not sound like a step up, but for

Rosales — who dropped out of a Compton high school more than 20 years ago to become a truck driver — being handed a key fob to a bathroom stocked with toilet paper and hand soap was life-altering. He kept the plastic tab on his key ring, even though he was supposed to place it in a drop box each morning, because the sight of it brought comfort; the sense of it between his fingers, hard and slick, felt like peace. When Rosales and his son’s mother called it off again in the fall of 2024, just after he’d finished a GED program and enrolled at LBCC, he stayed with his brother for a week or so. But he didn’t want to be a burden. So one day

after work at the trucking company — he’d gone part-time since enrolling, though he’d still regularly clock 40 hours a week — he circled the block in his beat-up sedan and parked on the side of the road, near some RVs and an encampment. The scariest part of sleeping in his car was the noises, Rosales told The Hechinger Report: “I heard a dog barking or I heard somebody running around or you see cop lights going down the street. You see people looking in your car.” He couldn’t sleep, let alone focus. Without the ability to bathe regularly, he began to avoid people to spare them the smell. The car became his sanctuary, but also, a See Homelessness Page 03

prison. As he put it, “It starts messing with your mental health.” First, Rosales dropped a class. A few weeks later, he told his LBCC peer navigator he couldn’t do it anymore and needed her help to withdraw. Instead, she got Rosales signed up for the college’s Safe Parking Program, and everything flipped on its head. With the LBCC lot’s outlets and WiFi, the back seat of his car morphed into a study carrel. Campus security was there to watch over him, not threaten him like the police had, telling him to move along or issuing a citation that cost him a day’s pay. For the first time in a month, Rosales said, “I could just

Altadena Forever Run to benefit those affected by Eaton Fire May S. Ruiz MayRChu56@gmail.com

T

he Eaton Fire of Jan. 7, 2025, will be endlessly seared in the collective memories of the Pasadenans and Altadenans who experienced the largest blaze in the history of the San Gabriel Valley. Overnight 19 people died and 9,000 structures were reduced to ashes, among them 80 homes at Upper Hastings Ranch in Pasadena and over 4,500 in Altadena. Large corporations and private citizens across the country responded immediately to the disaster — sending cash, food, personal items and other basic necessities to the various collection sites that opened during the days following the fire. All through the year, several nonprofit organizations emerged in Altadena to continue to support those who were affected even as the rest of the country moved on to other important matters. Community leaders have worked ceaselessly to keep the momentum going and thought of ways to ensure we didn’t forget that thousands of Altadenans are still grappling with the aftermath. Two individuals — Victoria Knapp and Ethan Marquez — are collaborating on an event to benefit those who were affected by the Eaton Fire. They are co-chairing the Altadena Forever Run which will be held at 8 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 4 at the Mariposa Junction in Altadena. See Eaton Fire Page 24

Thousands of runners and community members will gather for a10K, 5K and 1K family run raising critical funds for residents still recovering from the Eaton Fire — including individuals and families who remain displaced, are living in vehicles or are running out of short-term rental assistance. Victoria Knapp is a longstanding Altadena community leader and organizer whose civic work has focused on connection, recovery, and purposeful engagement. A former Pasadenan, she made Altadena her home in 2011, where she spent the next 15 years deeply involved in community life. She played a central role in crisis communication and community coordination after the fire, helping residents navigate loss while fostering collaboration among neighbors, small businesses, and local organizations throughout the recovery period. She is a firm advocate for community-based initiatives that bring people together with purpose and meaning, including the Altadena Forever Run, which reflects her belief that shared action — like running together — can be a powerful force in healing and resilience. Ethan Marquez is a 26-year veteran of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department with a career spanning custody, patrol, training, and command assignments. He was on the scene during the Eaton

ederal prosecutors Monday were considering whether to appeal a judge's order dismissing a case against a South Los Angeles man who was charged with assault on a federal officer after a confrontation with agents in October in which he was shot. Carlitos Parias, 44, better known as TikTok streamer Richard LA, had been set to go on trial Tuesday in Los Angeles federal court. In his order Saturday, U.S. District Judge Fernando M. Olguin threw out the case against Parias, saying the government failed to release body-worn camera footage in a timely manner and allegedly denied the defendant access to attorneys after his arrest. Parias remains in immigration custody. Olguin dismissed the indictment with prejudice, meaning prosecutors cannot refile the same two felony charges of assault on a federal officer using a deadly or dangerous weapon and depredation of government property causing damage in excess of $1,000. Prosecutors contend Parias' vehicle rammed two federal vehicles as he tried to escape arrest on immigration charges. A representative for the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement prosecutors are reviewing the court's decision and would consider options for a possible appeal. "We strongly disagree with the court's version of the facts as well as its legal conclusions," according to the statement. "We are reviewing the court's decision and we will determine our options for an appeal. ... Despite Mr. Parias

being a flight risk and danger to the community, the court ordered him released on bond pending trial. He was appropriately taken directly into immigration custody — where he remains. No matter what happens with his criminal case now or on appeal, rest assured that Mr. Parias' days of openly flouting our nation's immigration laws are over." According to prosecutors, federal agents conducting surveillance in South Los Angeles on Oct. 21 saw Parias — who was the subject of an immigration arrest warrant and had previously avoided capture — leave a home and get into a gray Toyota Camry, driving away eastbound. Federal agents proceeded to use three vehicles to block the Camry in position, prosecutors said. Parias allegedly refused orders to exit the car, and instead began driving the Camry forward and back, hitting two of the federal vehicles. An agent tried to break the driver's side window of the Camry, prompting the suspect to drive more aggressively, spinning the

car's wheels and creating "large plumes of smoke," prosecutors said. Ultimately, a federal agent opened fire, wounding the suspect in the elbow, with a ricochet bullet then striking a U.S. marshal in a hand. Parias has more than 135,000 followers on TikTok and regularly posts videos documenting police, fire and immigration enforcement incidents in Los Angeles. Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, previously issued a statement saying the confrontation with Parias involved "an illegal alien who had previously escaped from custody" and who "attempted to evade arrest yet again." "ICE law enforcement officers, assisted by U.S. marshals, pulled the illegal alien over in a standard law enforcement procedure," McLaughlin said. "The illegal alien weaponized his vehicle and began ramming the law enforcement vehicle in an attempt to flee. Fearing for the

safety of the public and law enforcement, our officers followed their training and fired defensive shots. The illegal alien was shot in the elbow and one law enforcement officer was shot in the hand by a ricochet bullet." McLaughlin said Parias had entered the country illegally from Mexico at an unknown time and place, according to the statement. Los Angeles City Councilman Curren Price Jr.'s office previously honored Richard LA for his work in the community. "Richard is a pillar of our community; a fearless citizen journalist whose authentic storytelling has consistently uplifted the unheard voices of South Central Los Angeles," according to a social media post by Price's office. "His unfiltered portrayal of real life has fostered a loyal following, both on TikTok and throughout our city. Richard LA exemplifies what it means to serve your community with courage and heart. ... We stand in solidarity with Richard and his family during this difficult time."

Homelessness sleep with my eyes closed the whole night.” Forty-eight percent of college students experience housing insecurity, meaning “challenges that prevent them from having a safe, affordable, and consistent place to live,” suggests the most recent Student Basic Needs Survey Report from the Hope Center at Temple University. That number rises to 60% for Black students, 67% for students who are parenting and 72% for former foster youth. The problem also tends to be worse for veterans and those who identify as LGBTQ+ or have been labeled undocumented, said Sara Abelson, an assistant professor and the Hope Center’s senior director of education and training. Fourteen percent of the nearly 75,000 students surveyed experienced homelessness, the most severe form of housing insecurity. Other analyses produce similar estimates. Of course, rates differ by institution. The Hope Center found that housing insecurity at two-year schools, like LBCC, was about 10 percentage points higher than at their four-year counterparts. A similar gap divides institutions that serve high proportions of students classified as racial and ethnic minorities from those that don’t. Geography also matters: It’s much easier to find a rental unit in Wilmington, North Carolina, for example, than in Portland, Oregon. And yet, the problem is a national one, said Jillian Sitjar, director of higher education for the nonprofit SchoolHouse Connection, affecting both rural and urban areas and “not just a California thing.” That’s partly because of a national housing supply shortage and the fact that eligibility rules for affordable housing programs often exclude students; and it’s partly because the cost of college has risen nationwide as both government investment in higher education and the

purchasing power of financial aid have fallen over the decades. The second Trump administration’s threatened and actual changes to Pell Grants, the largest federal student aid program, haven’t helped, nor have its cuts to the social safety net generally and erosion of laws meant to ensure equitable access to housing. For years, colleges have primarily referred students experiencing homelessness to shelters, nonprofits and other external organizations, but “there’s kind of a shift that’s happening,” Sitjar said: “Institutions are starting to look internally, being like, ‘OK, we need to do more.’” LBCC’s Safe Parking Program is one of the most visible of a new crop of programs addressing student housing insecurity by giving students unorthodox places to sleep: cars, hotels, napping pods, homes of alumni and even an assisted living facility. What sets these stopgap efforts apart from longerterm strategies — such as initiatives to reduce rents, build housing (including out of shipping containers), rapidly rehouse students, cover housing gaps (like summer and holidays) and provide students with morefinancial aid — is that they’re designed to be flawed. College administrators know full well that Band-Aid programs are insufficient, that they’re catching blood rather than addressing the source of the bleeding. And yet, while long-term projects are underway, what’s woefully inadequate can be quite a bit better than nothing. An oversize sink sure was for Mike Muñoz. Decades before earning his doctorate and becoming the president of LBCC, Muñoz was a community college student who worked in a mall as the assistant manager of a portrait studio. After coming out as gay, he couldn’t go home, and then the family lost their house to foreclosure so “there wasn’t a home to go back to,” he said. Many nights, he’d crash

on friends’ couches, but in the week leading up to payday, he couldn’t afford the gas to get there from work. Feeling hopeless, Muñoz would find a parking spot near the mall and spend the night in his car, dealing with the exact same stressors Rosales would endure years later. In the morning, he’d take a sponge bath in the oversize sink that the studio used to develop film. His No. 1 concern, after survival, he says, was keeping anyone from finding out about his homelessness, especially on campus. President Muñoz — who is warm like Rosales yet more self-contained, often listening so intently as to become motionless — said the Safe Parking Program is about more than providing physical safety for students who sleep in their vehicles. Muñoz wants these students to feel safe bringing their full selves to college, in a way he didn’t until transferring to a fouryear school and moving into student housing. “The mental load that I was carrying, I was able to set that down,” he said, “and I was able to then really focus that energy” — on classes, on who he wanted to be. That’s Muñoz’s answer to those who say emergency housing is a distraction, ancillary to the mission of a college. Indeed, research suggests that asking a student to thrive in college without a reliable place to sleep is no more reasonable than asking them to ace a test without access to books or lectures. Multiple studies find that housing insecurity is associated with significantly lower grades and well-being. Lacking a stable housing arrangement has also been shown to negatively affect class attendance, full-time enrollment and the odds of getting a degree. What’s more, a 2024 survey found that housing-insecure students rely more on risky credit services like payday loans and auto-title loans. This Gordian knot of need and peril, which

often also includes child care obligations and food insecurity, makes it hard to prove that emergency housing alone will improve students’ lives. But Rashida Crutchfield, a professor of social work and executive director of the Center for Equitable Higher Education at California State University, Long Beach, said, “It’s one of those ‘obviously’ moments that if you house students, they do better.” When a pandemic-era survey revealed at least 70 LBCC students were living in their cars, Muñoz asked the college’s board to support him in implementing a safe parking program. They agreed something had to be done, but issues like legal liability concerned some LBCC staff. Additional worries included the cost and that it would mean less money for longer-term solutions, the risk of sending a message that it’s OK for students to have to sleep in their

cars, and “the sky is falling kind of stuff” — visions of drugs, sex, trash, urine. But Muñoz pressed, and in 2021 the school piloted a program with 13 students and a startup budget of $200,000 from pandemic relief funds. That money covered private overnight security and paid for the nonprofit Safe Parking LA to train LBCC staff and help develop an application, liability waiver and more. The school’s facilities team installed security cameras, scheduled more cleaning and figured out how best to handle the extra opening and closing of the lot’s gates. Similar efforts sprang up during the pandemic but later shuttered. For example, a collaboration in Oakland between Laney College and West Side Missionary Baptist Church wound down as did the safe lot program near the University of WashSee Homelessness Page 05

ington’s Seattle campus. “The funding isn’t there anymore,” explained Marguerita Lightfoot, a professor at OHSU-PSU School of Public Health. Yet still to this day, she said of sleeping in cars, “There are students who are doing that at every institution.” Knowing that, LBCC was determined to keep the Safe Parking Program running even after the federal tap ran dry. The school moved the program from its original location to the lot Rosales would call home, which has a clear line of sight from the campus security office. One extra campus security position replaced the private company, cutting LBCC’s overall spend in half. In other words, Muñoz made it work. Other schools have swung different hammers at the same nail. Some colleges and universities with dorms maintain

Homelessness “in-and-out rooms,” beds set aside for short-term, emergency use, the way Roosevelt University in Chicago and Fort Lewis College in Colorado do. But Sitjar says a lot of red tape and considerable expense make in-and-out rooms uncommon. For specific student populations, some schools offer year-round housing, like West Chester University’s Promise Program for former foster youth and qualifying students without housing and a similar program at San Diego State University. But “during the summer, it’s really, really, really hard for institutions to try to keep those rooms set aside,” Sitjar said, since they otherwise generate revenue via summer camps, reunions and more, and during the academic year mean room-andboard money. And community colleges — which educate the majority of American college students — mostly don’t have dorms that allow for this option. A few have teamed up with fouryear institutions to house students at a discounted rate. In New Jersey, Rider University hosts students from Mercer County Community College. Through a pilot program launched in 2019, Massachusetts reimburses fouryear campuses for the cost of keeping dorm beds available for community college students experiencing homelessness. A review of the program, through which eight colleges and universities have hosted students, found that 72% of participants showed academic improvement and even more experienced improved mental health. Other types of partnerships also put roofs over students’ heads in short order. Cape Cod Community College works with a local health center to get students into hotel rooms on days the temperature falls below 32 degrees. And Norco College in Southern California is just one of dozens that contracts directly with a hotel. Reli-

gious organizations help too, such as Depaul USA in Philadelphia, which houses college students experiencing homelessness in a converted convent. Around 400 miles south, in Wake County, North Carolina, HOST is a nonprofit that began with members of the NC State University community inviting students to move into their homes. And New York City’s LaGuardia Community College partners with Airbnb to house students short term, with the company reimbursing hosts. A particularly unusual partnership resulted when Winona Health, a health care system in Minnesota, acquired a nursing home that had a mansion sitting on the same parcel of land. The century-old building, Watkins Manor, wasn’t ideal for assisted living, so in 2021 Winona invited students from nearby colleges to move in for a very low monthly rent plus volunteer hours. Students help senior citizens do things like troubleshoot tech, go shopping and participate in therapeutic recreation programs. “The residents love it, the students love it,” said Linda Atkinson, the administrator who oversees the program. While students don’t need to experience housing insecurity

to apply, the program has provided emergency housing for those who have been kicked out of a parent’s home, experienced domestic violence and more. Some schools combine these solutions, inching toward more comprehensive support. At California State University, Sacramento, the CARES program maintains four beds in on-campus dorms for immediate use. It also partners with the Hampton Inn and offers rent subsidies, eviction-avoidance grants (a utility bill here, a late fee there) and move-in support grants (think security deposits), among others. Additionally, the program has helped connect students with members of local churches willing to open their homes. Understanding that some students don’t have cars, LBCC too offers much more than the Safe Parking Program. As Crutchfield put it, “Different people have lots of different needs, and we have to have a buffet of options.” At Howard Community College in Maryland, one smörgåsbord item is a place to nap. President Daria Willis doesn’t have anywhere to put a shelter for housing-insecure students, as Harvard, UCLA and the University of

Southern California have done. “We are pretty much landlocked,” she explained, “I’ve got a hospital on my left side, and I’ve got neighborhoods on the right, back, and front side of the campus.” But she wanted to do something to help the exhausted students she walked by on the way to her office morning after morning. Students who worked night shifts, parented young kids or didn’t have a place to sleep at night were curled into chairs and draped over benches. In a pilot program, the school bought five chairs, known as sleeping pods, designed for rest. After Willis posted a picture on social media of herself relaxing in one, “it exploded,” she said: “Students were in them every single moment of the day,” often needing to be asked to leave when buildings closed at 11:30 p.m. So the school bought more sleeping pods. And more again. No one, though, believes napping facilities and parking lots are really the answer. Rosales has leg issues and a bad back. “I’m a big guy,” he said as he folded himself into the back seat of his car in an origamilike series of steps in early September. The WiFi on the lot is spotty, one bathroom for more than a

dozen people often means a line, there’s no fridge to store leftovers or microwave to reheat them, and Safe Parking Program users aren’t able to sleep in or get to bed early. Last semester, when he took a class that didn’t get out until 10 p.m., Rosales had to move as fast as his busted knees would carry him to make the cutoff at 10:30. And he was still homeless. He’d go to a restaurant, spending dollars he couldn’t spare and eating too much just “to feel like a normal person,” Rosales said. He’d say hello to everybody and strike up a conversation with his server, to try to “be normal for a minute.” Yet despite its limitations, the Safe Parking Program let Rosales “breathe, relax, continue on,” he said. And the lot offered a chance to build community. He began encouraging new arrivals to connect: “Trust me, we’ll help you,” Rosales would say. And they do often require help like that. Even when campus resources exist, twothirds of students in need lack awareness about available supports, the Hope Center researchers concluded. Stigma is part of the problem. As Rosales put it, “We’re scared that we’re going to get judged See Homelessness Page 07

or someone’s going to give us pity or give us a look … like, ‘Oh, there goes the homeless one.’” He didn’t even tell his family about his homelessness. In fact, Rosales’ peer navigator was the first to know — and he only had one of those to turn to because of LBCC’s surveys and targeted outreach. Recently, Rosales organized a free breakfast to connect his “roommates and neighbors” with campus resources and each other. He felt terrible that he still couldn’t do much for the son he’d barely seen since moving out, especially after being laid off by the trucking company on Christmas Eve. But gathering participants in the Safe Parking Program, helping them — now he could add value to someone. And he felt valued by LBCC, having been given comprehensive support and case management meant to find an on-ramp to stable housing, as well as money for car repairs. (Each year, between $23,000 and $115,000 from the LBCC Foundation — which swelled after a $30 million gift from MacKenzie Scott, the philanthropist formerly married to Jeff Bezos — goes to students for vehicle registration, insurance, repairs and daytime parking permits.) Rosales felt like he mattered at LBCC, even after bringing his whole self to campus, just as Muñoz had hoped. At some point in the nation’s history, homelessness on college campuses was nonexistent, a rounding error when it did occur, because students had to have wealth behind them to access higher education. As efforts to democratize admissions and attendance (like the GI Bill) have borne fruit, “more of those who are facing these issues are getting to institutions,” said Abelson, the Hope Center’s senior director of education and training, combining

4 scam trends consumers must watch going into 2026 (and how to stay ahead of them) By Trevor Mahoney for Lifeguard via Stacker

I

n America, fraud is no longer a static threat. It has instead become an evolving ecosystem, continually powered by artificial intelligence, automation, and an ever-expanding digital footprint. Consumers have spent much of the past decade reacting to the latest scam of the month, whether that be a phishing text, bogus charges, or something else. However, with 2026 on the horizon, scams are set to become more adaptive, personalized, and embedded in the very systems we rely on daily. Forward-looking insight has never been more important. By identifying the next wave of fraud before it reaches its full scale, consumers can start to operate from a place of anticipation rather than damage control. Lifeguard has analyzed the top trends across cybersecurity and early-warning research to compile four prominent emerging fraud trends to help you get ahead of the new year’s most dangerous threats. Four emerging fraud trends To navigate 2026 safely, it helps to know what’s coming. Here are four fraud and scam trends that are already shaping up to be a part of the next generation of threats: 1. AI "fraud agents" and the hyper-personalized deepfake Generative AI is no longer just a science fiction concept. Deepfakes and attacks using synthetic documents are expected to surge drastically as cybercriminals continue to learn how to twist artificial intelligence to their advantage. This allows fraudsters to generate convincing voice, video, and document forgeries that impersonate communications from loved ones, colleagues, institutions, and more, making traditional trust signals unreliable. As outlined by Finra, a nonprofit composed of industry and public regulators, effective strategies

to combat generative AI include using biometric verification, enabling multifactor authentication, and using identity-theft protection services. 2. Synthetic identity fraud: The "Frankenstein" profile Rather than stealing an existing person’s identity, fraudsters are beginning to create synthetic identities. These aliases merge real social security numbers or personal information about individuals with fabricated names, addresses, and credentials. According to TransUnion’s 2025 fraud report, which analyzes leading fraud trends across the globe, identity-data exposure is shifting more towards quality over quantity. This makes synthetic identities more effective. Fake identities can quietly damage your credit or open accounts in your name. What’s new (and dangerous) is the fact that these false identities can tie back, in part, to your real data. This means that real-world damage can surface years later. To be proactive, monitor your credit report and freeze all household credit at the first sign of any type of misuse. 3. The "roach motel" subscription and data trap Some scams are evolving beyond one-time payments or shady transactions. While many adults in the past had reported exposure to phishing, smishing (text scams), or vishing (voice scams), new schemes are luring users into seemingly harmless “free tools” or “trial services.” The catch is that you will then be trapped in a subscription or data-resale contract that was disguised in the fine print. The dangerous part about this is that once you opt in, your behavioral, financial, or identity data may be resold without your knowledge. To protect yourself, always use a masked or virtual credit card for subscriptions, so you can quickly shut off charges or data flow if things go wrong.

4. Smart home hijacking and IoT ransomware As homes across the world become more connected via smart locks, thermostats, cameras, and even appliances, the threat surface expands beyond phones and computers. A Consumer Reports study of 2,084 U.S. adults found that one-fifth of those surveyed owned a smart appliance, yet only 7% were actively utilizing its smart features. This number is only expected to rise. Consumer Reports warns that weak or default passwords can lead to exposed home networks. A locked-out front door, disabled security camera, or hijacked smart lock can be a deeply personal and immediate fraud attack. To avoid this, put all smart-home devices on a separate “guest” WiFi that isolates them from your main devices. From reaction to anticipation Together, the above trends signal a broader transformation. Fraud is becoming smarter, more automated, and more embedded in everyday life. The days of simple phishing emails and “grandparent” scams are long gone, and something far harder to discern is emerging. AI-generated identities impersonating loved ones, attacks targeting smart home vulnerabilities, data-resale traps, and more are all built on a foundation of consumer trust and ubiquitous data sharing. Being prepared for the future of fraud doesn’t mean living in constant fear. Rather, it means introducing small and intentional obstacles that slow down attackers. Whether those are credit freezes, network segmentation, or something as simple as multi-factor authentication, skepticism is the best software update you can have for 2026.

JANUARY 01-JANUARY 07, 2026 7

Homelessness with housing and funding shortages to create need that “has largely gone under the radar and unrecognized.” Efforts to equalize opportunity have been insufficient, and yet, they’ve made it possible for someone like Muñoz to graduate and then rise through the ranks. They’ve made it possible for his days of rationing gas and sink-bathing to open an institution’s eyes to the need for a net to catch students who are slipping off its ivory tower, and for Muñoz to push to create one, even if it must be stitched together from imperfect materials. But the reality is that the majority of schools have massive holes in their nets, or to return to Crutchfield’s metaphor, they don’t offer any of these emergency housing dishes, let alone the whole spread. For the most part, colleges and universities still just create a list of resources and refer students out, suggesting they try their luck with local shelters and Craigslist. It’s inadequate. “Our shelter systems are overtaxed,” Crutchfield said, “there’s just not enough capacity.” And even when there is, “students don’t see shelter systems as for them,” she said. In some ways, they’re right: Shelter rules, including the need to queue up and turn lights off when there’s homework still to be done, often clash with students’ needs. “If I fall down and I’m bleeding, definitely get me medical attention, get me a Band-Aid,” Crutchfield said.

“But if the road is broken, and that’s why people keep falling down, you have to deal with the road.” So yes to safe parking, she said, but also, “What are we going to do next?” In addition to building housing, participating in rapid rehousing models and advocating for financial aid that covers the true cost of college, some schools have hired homeless liaisons, staff members dedicated to assisting students experiencing homelessness. According to SchoolHouse Connection, California, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland and Tennessee require schools to establish these roles. Maine encourages doing so, and California, Minnesota and Washington even set aside funds that can be used to pay for them. The impact appears to be significant. In Washington, 22 out of 25 community colleges surveyed said they provide some sort of emergency housing. Sitjar said, “For institutions and states that have these individuals, that have these roles, we’re then seeing those colleges make the really unique solutions of addressing housing.” She pointed to bipartisan federal legislation, two bills that are expected to be reintroduced this session, that would require homeless liaisons as well as force colleges to develop plans for housing during academic breaks, do a better job of identifying students struggling with homelessness and more. One of the bills would update the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program to allow full-time students

to live in LIHTC housing if they’ve experienced homelessness within the last seven years. Abelson said the Hope Center and others support this reform as well as similar efforts aimed at “reducing the many barriers that students face to accessing [government] benefits.” These days, Rosales still eats his feelings sometimes, he said, but “it’s slowly getting better because I see a therapist every two weeks through the school.” When LBCC told him in September that he’d been offered housing through a rapid rehousing program called Jovenes — a two-bedroom, two-bath to be shared with three roommates — Rosales began to cry, from relief but also from fear. “I never thought I was going to get out of here,” he said of the Safe Parking Program. “This is my home, this is where I live, this is where I’ve been — holidays, weekends, a birthday.” He finds comfort in knowing that the lot is always an option, as it is for the dozens of LBCC students living on the brink who have signed up for the program just in case. But he doesn’t sleep there anymore. “I’m not going back,” Rosales said, and for the first time, he believes in his ability to make that happen. He can feel in his truck-weary bones that he’ll graduate, that he’ll get that house he’s been dreaming about: “I’m moving ahead.” This story was produced by The Hechinger Report and reviewed and distributed by Stacker.

New California laws impact plastic bags, food delivery, tortilla ingredients By City News Service

H

Dorito A525070 Dorito is a lovable, larger-than-life Labrador Retriever mix at Pasadena Humane, who is just over a year old. Despite a rough start as a stray, Dorito hasn’t lost his joyful spirit. He’s goofy, affectionate, and absolutely adores playtime – especially chasing balls and exploring with his big nose. He’s also smart, responsive, easily directed with a good treat, and sweetly selfsoothes once he’s given the chance to slow down. Because Dorito feels everything big, he can get overstimulated and will thrive in a low-traffic home with a confident handler who can help him take breaks, build calm routines, and keep life balanced. He’d do best as the only dog and with space to burn off his puppy-like energy. If your New Year’s resolution is to welcome more joy, laughter, love, and maybe a few more walks, Dorito is ready for a fresh start by your side!

Scooby A524958 Meet Scooby – a 9-month-old tan pittie at Pasadena Humane with all the best parts of puppyhood wrapped into one sweet, wiggly guy. He’s affectionate, playful, and full of happy energy. Scooby already knows how to “sit,” comes when his name is called, and is highly treat-motivated. On walks, he’s alert but friendly and has shown playful interest in other dogs. True to his age, Scooby is full of excitement! He’d do best in a home with secure fencing and a safe environment, as he’s a bit of an escape artist and still learning his boundaries. Scooby is ready to start his next chapter! If that also sounds like you, make your New Year brighter by adopting this deserving pup. The adoption fee for dogs is $150. All dog adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines. Walk-in adoptions are available every day from 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. View photos of adoptable pets at pasadenahumane.org. New adopters will receive a complimentary health-and-wellness exam from VCA Animal Hospitals, as well as a goody bag filled with information about how to care for your pet. Pets may not be available for adoption and cannot be held for potential adopters by phone calls or email.

undreds of bills signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom are set to take effect in California in 2026. The list of new laws, most of which take effect Thursday, include a minimum wage increase, a ban on plastic grocery bags and new ingredient for tortillas. Other new laws among the more than 800 laws passed last year address antisemitism in schools, low-cost insulin, and protections for consumers, workers and renters. "California is proving once again that progress isn't something we talk about, it's something we build," Newsom said in a statement. "While some in Washington remain stuck debating yesterday's problems, we're focused on delivering real solutions for today's families. These new laws reflect who we are: a state that protects workers, respects students, puts people before politics, and isn't afraid to hold powerful interests accountable." Detailed information about some laws taking effect in California in 2026 can be found at newsroom. courts.ca.gov/news/newcalifornia-laws-goingeffect-2026. Here is a sampling of laws that take effect Jan. 1 unless otherwise noted: Minimum wage — SB 3. The minimum wage is set to increase to $16.90 per hour to account for inflation. The threshold for exempt workers will rise to $70,304 per year. Some local minimum wages, along with wages for fast food and health care industries, are higher. Tip theft — SB 648. The California Labor Commissioner can investigate, issue citations or file for civil action over tips that an employer takes from a worker. Tortillas — AB 1830. Most store-bought corn tortillas and other corn masa products must be fortified with folic acid. The

law was passed in 2024 to help prevent neural tube defects like spina bifida. Small businesses that make the products are exempt. Plastic bags — SB 1053. After phasing out plastic bags at retailers for nearly a decade, California now further tightens the previous law by completely eliminating single carry-out bags, including the thick kind that was widely considered reusable. Food Delivery — AB 578. Food delivery apps and platforms are mandated to give customers full refunds, including tips, taxes and fees, if their order is not delivered or the wrong order is delivered. The new law also requires the companies to give refunds to the original payment method, not just credits. Cat declawing — AB 867 bans cat owners from having their cats declawed. Immigration — AB 1261 requires the state to provide legal counsel to immigrant youths in federal or related state immigration proceedings. Juvenile justice — AB 651. Incarcerated parents must be given the opportunity to be physically present at dependency hearings related to their child. If physical presence is waived, they can participate through videoconference or teleconference. Artificial intelligence — AB 316. A defendant

may not say artificial intelligence that they developed, modified, or used that is alleged is to have caused harm to the plaintiff did so autonomously. Additionally, law enforcement agencies will need to identify when artificial intelligence was used in official reports and the type of program they used (SB 524). Law enforcement identification — SB 805 requires law enforcement officers operating in California to display their agency and a name or badge number to the public, with some exceptions. Parking tickets — AB 1299. Agencies are allowed to reduce or waive parking penalties if a person can show evidence of an inability to pay it in full because of financial hardship or homelessness. The person could file a request for a payment plan. Renters' appliances — AB 628. Property owners will be required to provide working appliances, including heating and hot water systems in rental units. For appliances, such as a stove and refrigerator, to be considered in good working condition, tenants should be able to safely cook and store food. Landlords will also be required to maintain the appliances. If a household item is subject to a recall, it should be repaired or replaced within 30 days.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 04/29/26 at 8:30AM in Dept. 79 located at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS ANGELES, CA 90012 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner DANIEL FONG, ESQ. - SBN 248397 FONG LAW GROUP 300 S.

Fed appeals panel refuses to stay preliminary injunction in LA Press Club case By City News Service

A

n appeals panel has denied a Trump administration bid to stay a preliminary injunction stopping federal law enforcement from using excessive force against journalists reporting on protests in the district, according to court papers obtained Friday. The three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday rejected the attempt by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to put the injunction on hold. In September, U.S. District Judge Hernán D. Vera issued the prelimi-

nary injunction blocking DHS — which includes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection — from retaliating against peaceful protesters, legal observers and journalists. The injunction stems from a lawsuit brought against DHS, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and others in June by the Los Angeles Press Club, the NewsGuildCommunications Workers of America, three journalists, two protesters and a legal observer, alleging that the DHS use of force at immigration demonstrations over

the summer punishes and suppresses the exercise of First Amendment-protected rights. According to the complaint, DHS misuses weaponry, including chemical agents such as tear gas, rubber bullets, impact munitions, pepper balls, pepper spray, exploding grenades, batons and fists to retaliate against protesters, legal observers and reporters to create a violent spectacle the administration of President Donald Trump used as a pretext to turn the military against Californians. In a 45-page opinion in September, Vera determined

that "the record includes detailed and credible declarations from nearly 50 journalists, legal observers and protesters," which showed DHS retaliation against people for protesting against and reporting on the violent immigration raids in Southern California. Since then, the defendants moved to have the court dismiss the case, arguing that allegations in the first amended complaint are factually and legally insufficient to support a claim. While plaintiffs may have been subject to force in the past, it is not established

that "the same plaintiffs will be subject to force again in

the future," according to the defense motion.

Work capping Newport Beach oil well taking longer than expected

Rainy New Year's Eve, New Year's Day expected across Southland

E

fforts to cap an abandoned oil well in Newport Beach that was expected to be completed before Christmas likely will take two weeks longer than expected, a city spokesman said Dec. 19. California Geologic Energy Management Division officials had hoped to get the work done before the holiday, city spokesman John Pope said. But there have been unexpected complications with underground infrastructure that may add two more weeks to the work schedule near Marcus Avenue and 36th Street, Pope said. Workers have found an underground pipe linked to a the well 500 feet deep, but over the last six days they have been unable to drill into the pipe, which they need to do before plugging and sealing the well, according to Pope. The workers have tried various drilling methods with different drill bits but have been unable to penetrate the cast-iron pipe, Pope said. The state officials and

contractor are considering alternatives such as a parallel well, breaching the pipe and trying injecting more cement into it. "While this delay is frustrating for everyone involved, permanently sealing the well at its source is critical to protecting public safety and

preventing future hazards," City Utilities Director Mark Vukojevic said in a statement. The abandoned oil well dates back to the 1920s and has been the source of crude oil and methane gas leaks. Officials red-tagged a home at 3606 Marcus Ave. because of it.

anta Ana winds gusted across much of the Southland on Monday, beginning a week of unsettled weather that is expected to include more rain in the saturated region, including the likelihood of precipitation falling on the normally sunny Rose Parade in Pasadena. A high wind warning was in effect until 3 p.m. for the western Santa Monica and San Gabriel mountains, along with the Golden State (5) and Antelope Valley (14) freeway corridors, with the National Weather Service forecasting 25 to 40 mph winds gusting up to 60 mph, with localized gusts of up to 75 mph possible at high elevations. A less severe wind advisory was in place until 3 p.m. in many other areas, including the Santa Clarita and San Fernando valleys, eastern Santa Monica and San Gabriel mountains, Calabasas and Malibu. Winds of 25 to 35 mph were anticipated in those areas, with gusts of up to 50 mph

possible. According to the NWS, the winds were expected to peak Monday, then dwindle in strength into Tuesday. The windy conditions will give way to rain by mid-week, with the NWS calling for "periods of light to moderate rain" beginning Wednesday or Wednesday night and continuing into Saturday. Forecasters said roughly 1 to 3 inches of rain is possible by week's end in coastal and valley areas, with 2 to 5 inches possible in the mountains. Given last week's storms

that saturated the ground in many areas, authorities again warned of possible mud and debris flows from the upcoming rain. According to The Weather Channel, there was a 77% chance of rain in Pasadena for New Year's Eve and 98% on New Year's Day — raising the possibility of a soggy Rose Parade. It would be the first time rain fell on the floral procession since 2006. The parade has traditionally managed to avoid precipitation, with rain dampening the event less than a dozen times in its 136 years.

Stay Housed LA coalition celebrates 5 years of housing justice By City News Service

A

ttorneys and housing advocates who are part of Los Angeles County's Stay Housed LA program Friday celebrated five years of providing eviction defense and educating tenants on their rights. In 2020, LA County launched the program in partnership with the city of Los Angeles, which is administered by a coalition of 12 legal aid providers and 17 community-based organizations. The initiative provides tenants across the region from Lancaster to Long Beach with information and resources to keep people in their homes. The program has supported more than 33,000 tenants with legal services, represented some 11,000 tenants in court, and educated more than 2.3 million renters in the county about their rights through workshops, phone calls, texts and door-to-door outreach, according to officials. Renters can look up their address to find out what legal protections are available in their city and register for workshops that are held multiple times per week. Tenants with incomes at 80% of median income or less can apply for free legal representation through a hotline or the Stay Housed LA website. The county and city of Los Angeles expanded access to a right to counsel for renters this past year. At the start of 2025, the right to counsel for renters in the unincorporated areas of the county took effect. In

August, the city finalized a right to counsel ordinance, joining the county, and other cities such as New York and San Francisco, which is expected to be fully implemented by 2030 and funded by Measure ULA. "Stay Housed LA creates a real system change and shifts the power balance that's always been in favor of landlords," Barbara Schultz, director of Stay Housed LA and housing justice director of the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, said in a statement. "This program delivers justice to some of our most vulnerable neighbors — especially seniors, people with disabilities and people of color who have been most impacted by decades of systemic racism," Schultz added. Stay Housed LA officials warned that funding for eviction defense and homelessness prevention initiatives may be reduced in the coming year due to less funding at the local, state and federal levels. "In eviction court in LA, a recent report showed 92% of landlords had attorneys, compared to 14% of tenants, putting renters at an unfair disadvantage that too many landlords exploit," Catalina Romo, senior director of external affairs for Strategic Actions for A just Economy, and co-program manager of Stay Housed LA, said in a statement. "Stay Housed LA offers tenants a proven model that integrates legal services and community engagement to shift that balance."

Previously, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced a shift in funding priorities, focusing on transitional housing versus permanent housing. The policy change aims to bolster what is known as "wraparound services" such as mental health and substance abuse treatment, as well as temporary housing for up to two years. Critics of this change say it could lead to more homelessness as funding for permanent housing initiatives such as rental subsidies will receive less. Meanwhile at the local level, the new Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Agency, known as LACAHSA, released a proposed spending plan for Measure A funding, a half-cent sales tax for local homeless services and new affordable housing initiatives. The tax is anticipated to raise about $1.1 billion a year for the county. The measure approved in 2024, replaced Measure H, a quarter-cent sales tax for homelessness programs. About a third of Measure A funding will be overseen by LACAHSA. The entity is governed by a 21-member board, focusing on building more affordable housing, preserving existing affordable units and preventing homelessness. It is designed to enhance collaboration across all 88 cities in the county to create coordinated strategy for housing solutions, leveraging new financing tools and best practices for housing stabil-

ity. In August, the agency released revised guidelines for renter protection and homeless prevention funding, mandating 20% of an eligible jurisdiction's funds to be allocated for legal services. The council of governments representing the Gateway Cities, San Gabriel Valley and South Bay Cities issued a letter that same month "strongly" opposing any requirements for funding floors in the guidelines, opting for flexibility in their respective areas to address homelessness. The three COGs sought to fund interventions that are "most impactful" and "cost-effective" in meeting the goals of Measure A. "LACAHSA does not have sufficient existing data to evaluate and determine what those interventions are so it is premature for LACAHSA to include any

hree people sustained injuries Monday when a Metro light rail train was involved in a collision with a vehicle in downtown Los Angeles. The collision involving

an A (Blue) Line train was reported about 8:25 a.m. at the intersection of Olive Street and Washington Boulevard, according to a Metro spokesman who said about 170 passengers were

safely removed from the train. The Los Angeles Fire Department reported three patients had minor injuries and were taken to a hospital. "Metro extends its best

funding floors for specific programs," according to the letter. "Measure A resources should not lock in existing programs, they must be focused on implementing the best programs," the letter continued. "LACAHSA has a unique opportunity to work with eligible jurisdictions to help identify and shape the most effective programs in this new climate." LACAHSA announced a notice of funding availability last week, and potential bids for Measure A dollars are expected due by Jan. 23 at 5 p.m. At the city level, the contract to continue funding for Stay Housed LA has been mired in delays and questioning by City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto, who raised concerns about the bidding process. LA Housing Department officials have stated the process as a sole-

source contract was fine. In October, the Los Angeles City Council approved additional funding for a contract with the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, the lead contractor for Stay Housed LA. The funding covers eviction defense, rental assistance and other programs through March. The deadline for proposals for the new contract is due Dec. 31. "Funding continuity means service continuity, and without it, lawyers can't be hired and organizations have to choose between representing the clients who need it most and taking financial risks that could threaten their existence," Shultz said in a statement. Tenants facing eviction can learn about their rights and take action by contacting Stay Housed LA at stayhousedla.org or calling 888-694-0040.

All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said deed of trust in the property situated in said county and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced deed of trust. Sale Date: January 8, 2026 Sale Time: 9:00 AM Sale Location: Vineyard BallroomDoubletree Hotel Los AngelesNorwalk, 13111 Sycamore Drive, Norwalk, CA 90650 2 File No.:25-10110CA The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 10607 Owens Way, El Monte, CA 91733. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street

address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $407,071.42 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, (800) 280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.auction.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 25-10110CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (800) 280-2832, or visit this internet website www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 25-10110CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. 3 File No.:25-10110CA If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

GMC Section mayor is selected. ANALYSIS

2.04.020 provides for an order of precedence for selection of mayor based on longest continuous service since last serving as Mayor, limitations on appointments, and a “best interest” clause that permits the Council to make a selection that it deems to be in the City’s best interest. Elimination of Mayoral Selection Process On July 1, 2025, the Council reviewed Section 2.04.020 as well as alternative language that could be considered to address concerns raised regarding its implementation and fairness. Ultimately, the Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance amending Section 2.040.020 that will remove the selection policy from the GMC; the Council will select the mayor by majority vote with no restrictions on who can be selected. Change of Mayoral Selection Date to July

8a

The Council also directed a change to the mayoral selection date from April to July. This is intended to allow councilmembers elected in June during statewide primary election years to participate in the mayor selection for the upcoming year. As requested, two options are presented for when the new mayor selection date will occur, in 2026 or 2027: Option 1 – 2026

In 2026, the date and time for the selection of the mayor shall be during the first regular meeting of the council occurring after the first Monday in April. Commencing in 2027, the date and time for selection of the mayor shall be during the first regular meeting of the council occurring after the third Monday of July of each year subject to subsection B. In the event the mayor selection under subsection A would occur within 30 days of the Council's certification of the results of the general municipal election in the month preceding the scheduled mayor selection date, then the mayor selection shall occur on the same date as certification of said general municipal election and swearing in of newly elected councilmembers.

December 9, 2025

Commencing in 2026, the date and time for selection of the mayor shall be during the first regular meeting of the council occurring after the third Monday of July of each year. Option 2 - 2027 In 2026, the date and time for the selection of the mayor shall be during the first regular meeting of the council occurring after the first Monday in April. Commencing in 2027, the date and time for selection of the mayor shall be during the first regular meeting of the council occurring after the third Monday of July of each year. Staff recommends that if the mayoral selection date is moved to July, then it should be after the third Monday in July to provide sufficient time after the June statewide primary elections for the new Council to be sworn in. Los Angeles County has up to 30 days to certify election results which then must be approved by the Council. In the past, the County has taken the full 30 days. Mayoral Selection Date within 30 days of Certification of General Election Results and Swearing In of Newly Elected Councilmember(s) Alternatively, the draft ordinance includes an option where mayoral selection will be on the same date as the Council’s certification of the general election results and swearing in of the newly elected councilmember(s) if the mayor selection date will otherwise occur within 30 days of said certification and swearing in. This will be applicable to the June municipal elections. This alternative can be incorporated into either option 1 or 2. Effective Date of Mayoral Appointment As directed by the Council, the ordinance will also amend the GMC to make the mayoral appointment effective at the regular meeting after the mayor is selected. STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH Not applicable. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

Sale Date: February 19, 2026 Sale Time: 12:00 PM Sale Location: At the North Arrowhead Avenue entrance to the County Courthouse, 351 North Arrowhead Avenue, San Bernardino, CA 92401 2 File No.:25-10105CA The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1335 Massachusetts Ave, San Bernardino, CA 92411. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, towit: $240,096.97 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, (866) 826-1670 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.servicelinkauction.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 25-10105CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information

or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (866) 826-1670, or visit this internet website www.servicelinkauction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 25-10105CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. 3 File No.:2510105CA If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

A

judge has ordered the city of Monterey Park to produce five years of crime statistics to families who sued a dance ballroom where 11 people were killed in a 2023 mass shooting. The tragic events of Jan. 21, 2023, occurred when gunman Huu Can Tran, 72, entered Star Ballroom Dance Studio and opened fire. Nine others were seriously wounded. On Dec. 19, Burbank Superior Court Judge Lee Arian granted the plaintiffs access to five years of criminal investigatory files and not the 20 years sought by the plaintiffs, which the city estimated would have required seven employees to spend 950 hours and cost nearly $45,000. Arian's order excludes investigations of child and elder abuse. The city is not a party in the case. The plaintiffs' subpoena sought from the city "any and all documents includ-

ing any and all criminal reports you prepared for a 20-year period from Jan. 21, 2003 (through) Jan. 21, 2023, for any and all crimes within a one-mile radius from the Star Ballroom Dance Inc." The subpoena for past criminal reports is "highly relevant" to the families' cause of action for negligence, according to the plaintiffs' attorney's court papers, which also say the data could show that the ballroom had notice of similar crimes and/ or criminal activities prior to the mass shooting. The plaintiffs include Alan Kao, the brother of the late Yu Lun Kao, who was 72 years old and unmarried and had no children when he was shot along with the others at the Star Ballroom. Alan Kao contends the ballroom was aware of prior violence there as well as in the immediate vicinity. Siblings and co-plaintiffs Myna Quan and Don Nhan lost their sister, 65-year-old My My Nhan of Rosemead,

who was found dead in her car in the ballroom parking lot. The families recently dropped Tran's estate as a defendant. After Tran left the Star Ballroom, he went to the Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio in Alhambra and attempted to enter before he was stopped by Brandon Tsay, a young man lauded as a lifesaving hero. The gunman killed himself the next day after he was pulled over by police outside a Torrance strip mall. The shooting was the deadliest in Los Angeles County history — and occurred on the eve of the Lunar New Year in a community that is majority Asian American and is considered the nation's first suburban Chinatown. Following the shooting, then-President Joe Biden visited Monterey Park, consoled each of the victims' families and announced executive actions aimed at reducing gun violence.

anta Anita Park drew its largest Opening Day crowd since 2016 Sunday, 41,962, its most for a Sunday opener since 1999, the Arcadia track announced. The Arcadia track announced last Sunday, Dec. 21 the two-day delay of its traditional Dec. 26 Opening Day following a forecast of significant rain in Southern California for Tuesday through Friday. "Opening Day is very important to create momentum for the season, and today's large crowd provided terrific energy," Nate Newby, Santa Anita Park's senior vice president and general manager, said in a statement. Santa Anita Park has had three Sunday openers since 1999 — 2004, 2010 and 2021 — and eight in its 91-year history. Sunday horse racing in California was prohibited before 1973. The 11-race card included six graded stakes races.

Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Nysos defeated his Bob Baffert-trained stablemate Nevada Beach by a head in the $200,000 Grade 2 Laffit Pincay Jr. Stakes. The victory in the 1 1/16 mile-race for 3-year-olds and up was the seventh in eight starts for the 4-year-old, who finished in a dead heat for second in the Grade 1 Churchill Downs Stakes May 3, a neck behind Mindframe, for his only loss. Nysos was ridden by Flavien Prat, whose 74 victories in stakes races are the most among North American jockeys in 2025. Pincay presented the trophy, one day before the Hall of Fame jockey's 79th birthday. Baffert also won the $300,000 seven-furlong Grade 1 La Brea Stakes for 3-year-old fillies with Usha, and saddled the first- and second-place finishers, Goal Oriented and Midland Money, in the seven-furlong

$300,000 Grade 1 Malibu Stakes for 3-year-olds. Hall of Famer Mike Smith rode Cabo Spirit to the victory in the $200,000 Grade 2 San Gabriel Stakes for 3-year-olds and up at 1 1/8 miles on turf. Antonio Fresu won the Grade 2 $200,000 Mathis Mile on turf with Hiding In Honduras. Fresu was taken to Huntington Hospital in Pasadena when he injured his left foot two races later when his boot was squeezed in between his horse and the rail during the running of the race. Kazushi Kimura replaced Fresu aboard Ambaya in the $300,000 Grade 1 American Oaks, guiding her to victory in the 1 1/4-mile race for 3-year-old fillies on the downhill turf course. The victory was Ambaya's first since she won her debut in a maiden special weight race June 12 at Horseshoe Indianapolis in Shelbyville, Indiana, five races ago.

Injured pelican recovering after intensive surgical treatment

Eaton Fire

By City News Service

A

Brown Pelican found in Marina del Rey was recovering Dec. 18 from what bird-rescue authorities called a severe slashing of its pouch that appeared to be the result of a malicious attack by an unknown assailant. The female adult pelican was discovered Dec. 13 and taken to International Bird Rescue, where she underwent a three-hour surgical procedure to repair a "deep tear" in the pouch that extended to the back of the bird's neck, according to the organization. The tear extended to the feathered skin behind the bird's pouch on both sides, with two small horizontal lacerations to the back of its throat. Hundreds of stitches were required to seal the wound. The pelican was recovering from the surgical procedure and is "resting comfortably" as it continues a month-long course of care, according to the organization.

The wounds the pelican sustained appeared to be three to four days old, leaving the bird emaciated and unable to feed, according to Rebecca Duerr, senior director of Research and Veterinary Science at International Bird Rescue. "If the bird is promptly rescued, these wounds are potentially fixable, but the pain and suffering the bird experiences is horrendous," Duerr said in a statement. "The characteristics of the wound make it appear to me that it was maliciously caused. Fishing gear injuries and ingestion of inappropriate food do not cause injuries like this -- we see those injuries on

a daily basis and this is different." Under federal and state law, pelicans are protected from harm or harassment. Anyone who witnesses suspicious activities involving the harming of wildlife was encouraged to contact the CalTip (Californians Turn In Poachers & Polluters) hotline at 888-334-2258 or download the CalTip app or text CALTIP to 847411. It remains unclear if authorities have identified a potential suspect. People who see birds in distress are urged to contact the Bird Rescue Helpline at 866-767-2473 or local animal control officials.

Fire, playing a critical role in emergency response and community coordination. In August 2025, he was promoted to captain of Altadena Station, where he continues to emphasize operational excellence, public safety, and community partnership. A dedicated endurance runner and philanthropist, he runs marathons while pushing his son in a wheelchair to raise awareness and funding for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy research, using running as both advocacy and a deeply personal expression of service. “The Altadena Forever Run is about honoring what we’ve lost, supporting those still recovering, and reaffirming our commitment to one another,” says a joint statement by Knapp and Marquez. “After the Eaton Fire, our community showed that resilience

isn’t just about rebuilding homes, it’s about standing together, staying connected, and moving forward with purpose. This run reflects the heart of Altadena: strong, compassionate, and forever connected.” The course passes through neighborhoods and foothill corridors impacted by the fire, featuring on-course storyboards that highlight survivor experiences and ongoing recovery efforts. Organizers say one of the most meaningful aspects of the event is the regional turnout, with runners traveling from across Southern California and beyond to stand in solidarity with Altadena residents. Community leaders and first responders are expected to attend — including Robert Luna and Kathryn Barger. The Los Angeles Laker Girls will

also be on site to cheer on runners and support the event atmosphere. The Altadena Forever Run is supported by corporate and community partners, including SoCalGas, GoFundMe, East West Bank, First City Credit Union and Toyota of Pasadena. Proceeds from the event directly support Altadena residents who continue to face housing instability and are seeking viable pathways to rebuild and return home. Although the emergency response has ended, many residents continue to recover in the long term with limited resources. But through the tireless efforts of dedicated individuals and the support of the community, Altadenenans will get through this unfathomable tragedy and get back on their feet stronger than ever before.
