results in getting people off the streets. good, i am ama daetz. tonight we have team coverage to highlight what is working in the area. ama: and what have san jose leaders learned about getting people off the streets that other residents have not? our south bay reporter dustin dorsey shows you what is working. dan: but first, look at a new approach in san francisco that rather than involve street crisis team will act as first responders. reporter lyanne melendez is in the newsroom to explain. year's budget was set aside for this specific program called heart program. the city describes it as the missing piece of the puzzle because many of them have been in the same situation of drug addiction, a few even previously incarcerated. what i am saying is that they have worked in those shoes before and they know what it takes to reach out to those on the streets who are experiencing a crisis.

think of an urban alchemist as a school ho how a school holder monitor. there are about 350 of them. now the most experienced ones, about 25 people, will be part of a one-year pilot program called heart, homeless engagement assistance response team. people like louise hammonds trained for nonemergency situations. when you approach somebody who is not all there, what do you know, what kind of training do you have that i don't have, the average individual does not have? >> we do well in uncomfortable situations. i am comfortable being comfortable because i don't see an angry person, i see a hurt person. i don't see violence, i see trauma. we bring that kindness, that relationship. lyanne: this team is different from the street crisis response team you already see answering

emergency behavioral health calls. . he is like the middleman between the person on the street, and the crisis team. there will be out from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, and until 3:30 p.m. on weekends. but as we have seen in cellphone video's, most of the erratic behavior occurs at night. we asked the mayor why not have responders out on the streets that? >> let's be honest, we have to make sure the people we are asking to go out there and put their lives on the line feel safe. would you feel safe going out there in the evenings and not having a big presence of people or daylight? light is challenging. lyanne: the heart program is one of many intended to get people off the streets. . from 2019 to 2022, san francisco saw a 15% reduction in the number of unsheltered homeless. the goal for the next five years is 50%. despite a large citywide budget

deficit, the mayor says the investment in homelessness will continue. >> we are adding 600 marshall term beds specifically -- 600 more shelter beds specifically. when double-breasted team is out there working with people, they need to be able to offer people something. lyanne: the department of homelessness and supportive housing budget will now be a little more than $692 an increase of 3% over the previous year. going to address the housing issue. now there was no mention of rehab centers or mental health services today, which as we all know, are vital to getting people off the street. we are not saying they don't exist, of course they exist, in fact victoria house, a 12 month rehab center opened in august of 2022. the issue of rehabilitation and

mental health and what else the city can do, and afford, is to come in the months ahead. but today, the mayor wanted to focus on one thing, and that is housing. in the newsroom, lyanne melendez, abc7 news. dan: thanks so much. ama: santa clara county and san jose officials have numbers from the latest homeless count that show decreases in several areas. south breeze reporter dustin dorsey has a story. dustin: leaders in the southbay have been trying to find solutions to end homelessness. . now they are learning what they are doing is working. >> homelessness continues to be a severe crisis in our community, but we can see progress through our collective efforts. >> we have begun to reduce the human suffering or homelessness crisis entails and we can stop now. dustin: 2023's point in time estimated homeless count shows positive trends in santa clara county and in the city of san jose. unsheltered homelessness down

4%. down 10.7% in san jose. the number of sheltered individuals has risen 7.8% in the county, 12.9% in san jose. for overall homelessness, the county has seen a 1.2% decrease. san jose? a 4.7% decrease, num down in the city for the second year in a row. >> we are leading the way in san jose in reducing unsheltered homelessness by embracing solutions that are faster to deploy and in order for them to be faster, they have to be more cost-effective. dustin: san jose credits their success in part to quick build emergency housing and to getting people off the streets now so they can start to get her legs heading in a better direction, one community member can attest to this. >> i was homeless and the only hope that i had was programs like this. dustin: advocates for the unhoused maintain, these programs are only a first step

and more affordable housing is needed to keep numbers from spiking again. the mayor says the city still has plans to invest in more affordable housing, but believes these faster, cheaper projects will ultimately lead to more stability so people can find housing security on their own. >> the idea that we have to build permanently subsidized permanent housing for every person living on the streets today is a recipe for not ending homelessness. dustin: more quick build and affordable housing funding will be voted on, as part of the june budget. dustin dorsey, abc7 news. ama: for a look at how homelessness has changed over the years, echoed this timeline on our website, abc7news.com. dan: new developments in the murder case of bob lee, the tech executive stabbed to death in san francisco?. the man charged in killing him is not being represented by paula canny. he now has a new lawyer. reporter melanie woodrow has been covering their success the beginning and explains what happened. reporter: a new shakeup in the

wait. >> you really think i went, if i was the new lawyer i wouldn't have somebody be here for him? >> i represent a lot of high-profile individuals, handle a lot of high-profile cases. melanie: the new lawyer says he will be at momeni's next appearance in june. >> as long as i am in my jurisdiction and i find an attorney in california that will sponsor me for a case-specific, ok, like this one, then we put together application and presented to the judge. melanie: he says he will be taking the case on with bradford:, also out of florida. as for paula canny, who has frequently said momeni stabbed lee in self-defense. >> many statements she has said are no longer attached to this case. we will make a statement after we do our own due diligence. >> i am going to nepal in

companies are competing with each other, needing to develop ai as quickly as possible. they then put development of ai and make it more powerful, over making it safe and understandable and transparent. reporter: he says the risks burn deeper. >> another possibility is that we automate so much of the economy that we have, basically the road is more autonomously run and we don't know how to do things, we become very dependent on them and we are completely subject to them always doing our bidding. if they turn in another direction or pursue something else, then we would be powerless to correct it. reporter: the san jose professor and tech expert says he signed the statement, adding that it makes sense some big names decided to do the same as they may want to wash their hands of critical responsibilities. >> when you have a few companies controlling this, those people will control the world. . they can direct technology, direct society and have tremendous power. reporter: hendrix says that hope is that the statement and support can lead other

>> now abc7's problems with larry beil. larry: good evening. the train is powerful, but this is my stop -- that was the quote and with that, of meyers leonard he would not continue as warriors general manager. it was time for his wife. time to spend time with his three girls. time to live life without worrying about at 3:00 a.m. crisis,. . but if you are going to do your job right as crisis manager, it's 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365. if you have an owner who is generous but also extremely demanding, you have players, who want more money, more playing time, agents who are constantly calling, other general managers pursuing trades. he decided it's time to move on. get off this magnificent, beautiful, lucrative treadmill

that never, ever stops turning. bob is universally loved, respected, trusted, which is where his decision to leave, especially right now, is impactful. steph curry saying, i remember i told you, you better get it right, and you did. the gm roll was great and you did your thing, but forever grateful for you as a friend forever. changed each other's lives. enjoy the next chapter, my guy. thank you, bob. chris alvarez has been at the chase center all day long. bob is emotional, but he didn't cry today. there may be other people associated with the warriors that are crying going forward, but not bob today. [laughter] chris: he got closer couple of times especially talking about his family and warriors fans. he was a fan and then he led them to the titles. for those wondering why now, bob answered that question in his very opening statement. >> for any professional general manager or coach, it requires

complete engagement, complete effort, 1000%. and if you can't do it, then you shouldn't do it. and that is the answer. i have four kids, and i have said this before, i actually consider bob my fifth. it's really hard to see your sun , because that is what i feel like this is, leave. >> i grew up a fan of the warriors. was the 10-year-old kid at the upper oracle. i was born in '75. . that was the last championship. to feel like i have helped to give to this fan base and this community some more of those things. >> we are preparing for the draft and free agency. . we want to welcome him to his last day, june 30, two be involved here whether he does it or not. it would be here for that. [laughter] >> that fine.

yeah>> that still it's going to be. [laughter] chris: a little bit of joking from joe but also a bit of seriousness. bob at one point did say he would support during the nba draft and free agency. larry, we know how important a time this is, your reference to the roster and where the warriors are at and the state of the franchise. it starts with picking a new gm. some internal candidates but also there will be some external candidates. a lot to see. a lot to be unpacked before training camp begins. larry: theylarry: have some huge decisions to make. chris, thank you. you see bob myers and the emotion. he has a genuine connection with players. >> way to blame. but i understand if you have to, you can blame

me. larry: obviously wearing his emotions on his sleeve when he saw kevin durant and helped off like that. it's another reason warriors hall of famer chris mullen tells us bob myers is a one-of-a-kind executive. >> have known bob since he was in high school. just one of the great people within the warriors organization,. humble, kind connecting people-type guy. i think there always comes a time when no one knows better than the individual whether he needs a break, needs to step over a little bit. i am very happy that bob is taking the time that he deserves and needs. larry: yeah. and i know there have been rumors floating around the oh you might be interested in this job or that job. he is not interested in any job right now. he will just take a break. we know what it is like to work the night shift.

i remember you telling me years ago when you talked one of your boys into bed one sunday night, you said -- he said to you, "i'll see you next week." dan: he said to me, "see you saturday." larry: you give up a lot in this job. he wants to see his little girls. dan: and it's so nice to see how well thought of is. larry: he is beloved. ama: coming up tonight, catch celebrity willow fortune, followed by celebrity "jeopardy!", at 10:00 the game show show then, abc7news at 11. that is it for this edition of abc7news. thank you for joining us. i am ama daetz. dan: and i am dan ashley. hope you have a great evening and we will see you again at 11:00.
