3:04 pm
i'm shaking so bad. i'm afraid to walk the dog now. there's just too many shootings, it's really crazy, everybody is going around shooting everybody, what is wrong with this world? my god. >> the 84-year-old man is in the hospital, he is expected to be okay. police have not said how the suspect and the victims are connected but they knew each other . sf pd will hold a town hall on this case in the coming days. 12 street gang members are behind bars, they are accused of a series of crimes from the fall of last year up till this month, including attempted murder, armed robberies, assault and possession of guns and drugs. officers searched the suspects home, they also recovered evidence of other crimes. after years of planning, vallejo opened a new development with 74 units of affordable housing, this is the blue oak landing. the developer pares the units with voluntary
3:05 pm
services like case managers. the project has taken about 4 years and it has been life-changing for some families. they moved it after years of living in a trailer that was hidden right in sight of the building that she now calls home. >> 7 years, my son said thank god. i just started crying. our day is finally here, we can finally get off the streets. >> others haven't been so lucky, to give you an idea of the need for this, there were 1000 people on the waiting list within just two hours, and now we are talking about some of the people tangled up in all of the redtape, and i can only imagine it has got to be so frustrating for so many families. >> reporter: absolutely, you just saw the elation from somebody that just moved in to the building, imagine , you are about to get one of those
3:06 pm
apartments, only there is one problem. >> this is the one that we signed with the lady , saying that i was going to be moving in, what apartment number i was going to be in. >> reporter: it was a life-changing opportunity when she was told that she would have an address of her own, her spotted blue oak landing would end 13 years of homelessness but when the time came to pick up the keys, excitement would turn into frustration. >> it was about maybe five hours, and she told us that there were problems for my verification for an address i was using for mailing. >> reporter: they quickly found themselves in a pile of paperwork and confusion. >> they said we were approved. approval is approval. >> reporter: the search for answers bounced around several offices, they also dropped by the development, where most of the units had already been filled. something that is already increasing the anxiety. >> i want to cry , because she needs to be off the streets. they will not make it.
3:07 pm
>> reporter: the couple decided it was time to get off the street and regroup, so they found a motel room where they have tried to clear up the confusion. >> i needed to get another place, so i signed up for those apartments, and i did what they told me to do and i signed my voucher. >> because of our federal funding, we have strict requirements on income verification. if it has been over 60 days since pay stubs or verification of homelessness given to the city, we have to re-up those verifications before they move in. >> reporter: the city manager said they are working to clear up the delays often caused by the guidelines and in some cases, the difficulty of staying in touch with clients who do not have an address. >> we've got people on the
3:08 pm
phone, email, and in person to help assist, we are trying to hit always of submission of the paperwork to make it as easy as possible. >> reporter: but for those caught in limbo, it is a tense wait for a golden opportunity. >> until you get your keys and they turn around and tell you, i'm sorry, we didn't do all the verification, which you had months to do. >> reporter: we had a number of people who hit some kind of unexpected delay at the finish line, so what is going on? one common problem is that the paperwork is out of date, a lot of the application materials expired after a month or so and a number of people might have to go back and resubmit information. a couple people are doing that. as for this particular case, still waiting to see what the specific hangup is and how that gets resolved . but to the bigger picture here is that it is a lesson in how complicated this can be. you have to find the money to build
3:09 pm
the place, you have to bring nonprofits and partners together to run it and provide on-site services, even these different agencies that are cord needing the paperwork, the federal funding has to be signed off, you have local people trying to coordinate that, often in partnership with nonprofits. it gets very complicated and you can see how hard it is to pull it all together , even for the people who had everything lined up ahead of time, there's still problems. >> even i was getting frustrated, and sometimes it comes down to a matter of luck and timing? >> well, it just takes a while to get this sorted out. we started this month ago out of san francisco, it was a woman that was trying to get her disabled brother into housing. that was a similar story. she had the voucher, she had everything lined up, but it was getting all the different agencies to sign off on everything to get them in that home. you can see how tough it is, and at the time when we
3:10 pm
need so much more housing exactly like this, but you can see how hard it is for it all. >> hopefully they can find a solution. the mission district has a new 100% affordable housing unit , it is at 681 florida street which has 130 homes and a new arts hub, it includes 39 homes for the formerly homeless and today, mayor london breed celebrated the grand opening. switching gears, to a huge talker in the bay area, this is blowing up on social media right now. the warriors are making a big move before this evening, jordan poole is getting traded. we didn't see this one coming. >> not when i woke up this morning. and remember , he is not the warriors fans problem anymore . they traded for chris paul. and before we get into that, remember what the new general manager, mike
3:11 pm
dunleavy jr. said this last monday about jordan poole? >> we plan to have him here for four more years at least. >> 4 years turned into four days, the warriors are trading jordan poole just six months after giving him an extension worth $128 million. he is only 24 years old, averaging 20 points per game during the regular season but struggled during the postseason and still some lingering tension from his scuffle with draymond green back in training camp. now he gets his chance to be a part of a rebuilding year in the nation's capital. okay, chris paul , the 12 time all-star is 38, and by the multiple visits to the sports department today, not exactly a fan favorite with warriors nation over the years. chris paul has one year left on his contract, this does of the warriors some much needed veteran presence to lead the second unit. it's not like
3:12 pm
he's going to play 30 minutes per game, but here's the thing, 4 years and $120 million is now off the books. the warriors have some salary relief now to re-sign draymond green , they still have steph curry and the warriors window is still wide open. >> thank you very much. still ahead, the rules are changing . actually, another fan said , warriors trade? this is on social media, somebody explained to me why going from jordan poole to the single most destructive player in the nba is an upgrade? did you all watch jordan poole last year? a lot of people sounding off on social media. this is also that same tweet right there, but in the meantime, we will see what happens. coming up, the rules are

and broadway san jose. >> for decades, many gay and bisexual men have been banned from donating blood, and those restrictions were originally put in place to protect the blood supply during the early days of the aids epidemic. but it wasn't until 2015 that it was replaced with a one year abstinence, a requirement that the fda is updating its own policy in a move some say is long overdue, but there's still one exception that disqualifies a large portion of the gay and bisexual community. this is causing some to wonder if the old stigma has changed at all . >> brad was at first thankful that the food and drug administration changed the rules to allow people in his community to become blood donors for the first time in decades. >> in high school i donated blood every time they had a drive, i would always do it. and i think , if i can do it, i
3:17 pm
would. >> reporter: she can't give blood because the new policy blocks people like brad who take a medicine to prevent hiv infection, that has reopened questions about medical discrimination against gay and bisexual men. >> folks like myself who could donate blood , who could give something that is medically necessary and lifesaving aren't able to do it. >> reporter: it goes back to the aids crisis in the 1980s when patients received infected blood, although no one knows if the blood came from gay men, they were blocked nonetheless. a new policy was needed to keep pace with advancements in blood screening intake science-based approach instead of a blanket discrimination. >> in my opinion, it is long overdue. >> reporter: ryan custer is a scientist in san francisco, operating blood donation centers like this one, they
3:18 pm
provided leading scientific research and it was his work which helped the fda formulate the policy change. >> this is a major change , in the way that blood donors are selected in the u.s. and everybody will be treated equally when they come to donate, they will be asked the same questions and those answers will determine whether somebody is eligible to be a donor, not your sexual orientation. >> reporter: all perspective donors , gay or straight, who report a new sexual partner, more than one in the past three months or a no -- >> a lot of gay and bisexual men , and there are women who take it. and all of us, we are all categorically excluded, even though we have all but zero risk of getting hiv. >> reporter: prep might delay
3:19 pm
detection or potentially get false negatives and more study is needed. >> the concern is what happens if somebody, for whatever reason, isn't adhering to taking prep, or if they have had exposure , could we detect that infection in a blood donation? this is the concern, and this is what made that policy not yet change. >> reporter: the policy will allow many monogamous men to begin donating blood again, but most of the people he knows are on prep and that will turn away many needed donors. >> it is really offensive, as somebody that comes from a community that has done so much to fight against hiv and aids, it just doesn't make sense that we would be blocked from donating blood. >> reporter: he wonders that after all this time, will there still be a stigma on his community when it comes to providing a vital public service.
