>> FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY, A FORMER PRESIDENT IS FACING FEDERAL CRIMINAL CHARGES IS PLEADING NOT GUILTY TO 37 COUNTS REGARDING HIS HANDLING OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS.

WE HAVE REACTION FROM REPUBLICANS AND A POLITICAL ANALYST BUT WE BEGIN TONIGHT WITH CHRIS WITH THE LATEST FROM MIAMI.

>> Reporter: WHILE OUTSIDE, A BOAT OF PUBLIC OPINION.

>> HE DID WIN 2010.

>> I CAN'T BELIEVE HE WOULD BE CONVICTED.

THE FORMER PRESIDENT ROLLED IN, HIS SURVIVAL WAS OUT OF VIEW AS OF HIS ARREST BY U.S.

MARSHALS AND ARRAIGNMENT BEFORE A MAGISTRATE.

THE FORMER PRESIDENT FACES 37 CRIMINAL CHARGES A MAJORITY FOR ALLEGED VIOLENCE OF THE ESPIONAGE ACT.

HE'S ACCUSED OF KEEPING IT AFTER LEAVING OFFICE AND REFUSING TO RETURN THEM.

>> IT WASN'T ANYTHING CLASSIFIED.

IT WAS NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS PRESENTED TO TRY TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION.

>> IF THIS INDICTMENT IS TRUE, IF WHAT IT SAYS IS ACTUALLY THE CASE, PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS INCREDIBLY RECKLESS WITH OUR NATIONAL SECURITY.

>> WE ARE CLOSELY WATCHING THE EVENTS PLAY OUT.

JOHN CARROLL SPOKE WITH A COUPLE OF THEM.

>> I BELIEVE IT'S PARTIALLY POLITICS.

>> Reporter: PRESIDENT OF THE YOUNG REPUBLICANS.

>> THE TRUMP INDICTMENT IS A DISTRACTION FROM THE REAL ISSUES THAT ARE HARMING EVERY DAY AMERICANS.

>> Reporter: HER ORGANIZATION IS STEERING CLEAR FOR ANY CANDIDATE FROM THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.

SHE SAYS HER GROUP IS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT ISSUES IMPACTING SAN DIEGO IN.

>> BUT THERE IT'S THE HOMELESS CRISIS, THE COST OF LIVING, IN PARTICULAR HERE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, SOME OTHER ISSUES DR.CARL D PROFESSOR OF A POLITICAL SCIENCE COLLEGE.

HE HAS A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE INDICTMENT OF DONALD TRUMP.

>> TRAGIC, UNFORTUNATE, AVOIDABLE.

>> Reporter: IT'S MUCH MORE THAN A PARTISAN POLITICAL DISTRACTION.

>> THERE ARE PEOPLE SERVING TIME IN PRISON FOR HAVING DONE A LOT LESS WITH A LOT FEWER DOCUMENTS UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

IT'S NOT JUST A DISTRACTION.

THERE IS SOMETHING THERE.

>> Reporter: THAT BEING SAID, THERE IS A PERCEPTION THAT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS BEING UNFAIR.

JUST PROSECUTING A CANDIDATE FROM ONE PARTY, NOT THE OTHER.

>> THERE IS A POLITICAL ASPECT WE CANNOT IGNORE YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD ARGUMENT, WHY YOU ARE BRINGING POLITICS INTO IT BY PUSHING FORWARD WITH THIS PROSECUTION.

>> I EMPHASIZE, THIS IS NOT A HUGE BIG DEAL FOR THEM.

>> Reporter: FOR THOSE THAT ARE OLD ENOUGH, THEY WILL REMEMBER IT WAS A VERY BIG DEAL FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.

TIME WILL TELL WHETHER THIS AND POSSIBLE FUTURE CRIMINAL INDICTMENTS, CAPTURE THE PUBLIC'S FOCUS ON THAT LEVEL.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

>> THE COUNCIL IS DEBATING A CITYWIDE BAN ON HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS.

KPBS METRO REPORTER ANDREW SAYS IN MANY CASES, THE BAN WOULD BE UNENFORCEABLE.

>> Reporter: A SURVEY EARLIER FOUND THIS YEAR THE HOMELESS POPULATION HAS INCREASED BY 35% OVER THE LAST YEAR.

THE CAPACITY OF SAN DIEGO'S HOMELESS SHELTERS, HAS NOT KEPT UP LEAVING MANY SENIORS AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, WITH NOWHERE TO GO BUT THE STREETS.

HE SAYS HE'S TRYING TO MAKE MORE SHELTER BETS AVAILABLE.

>> WE ARE BUILDING SHELTERS FOCUSED ON WOMEN, SENIORS, PEOPLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES.

FAMILIES, LGBTQ YOUTH.

WE EXPANDED SAFE PARKING IN OUR CITY FOR THOSE RELIVING IN THEIR CARS TO DO SO LEGALLY AND SAFELY.

>> Reporter: ADVANCED PEOPLE FROM CAMPING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY, ANYWHERE IN THE CITY BUT COURT DECISIONS HAVE PUT LIMITS ON HOW THESE TYPES OF LAWS CAN BE ENFORCED.

POLICE ARE BARRED FROM ARRESTING RECITING SOMEONE FOR LEGAL CAMPING, WHEN THERE IS NO SHELTER FOR THEM TO GO TO.

ON A TYPICAL DAY, HOMELESS SHELTERS ARE ALREADY FULL BY 10:00 OR 11:00 IN THE MORNING.

>> THEY SHOWED AT LEAST 6500 PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS ACROSS THE CITY.

OUR TEAM MEMBERS ENCOUNTER THOSE INDIVIDUALS EVERY DAY, MOST ARE WILLING TO TAKE SHELTER.

THE LARGE MAJORITY OF THESE INTERACTIONS DON'T HELP SHELTER PLACEMENT.

>> Reporter: IT DOES ALLOW FOR MORE AGGRESSIVE ENFORCEMENT IN SOME CASES.

IN PARKS OR WITHIN TWO BLOCKS OF A SCHOOL OR HOMELESS SHELTER, POLICE WOULD BE ABLE TO ARREST SOMEONE IF THEY REFUSED TO MOVE THEIR TENTH FURTHER AWAY.

SETTING ASIDE ALL THE LEGAL QUESTIONS IT'S UNCLEAR IF POLICE ARE ABLE TO ENFORCE THE LAW PROACTIVELY.

STAFFING SHORTAGES HAVE MEANT OFFICERS ARE FREQUENTLY PREOCCUPIED.

KPBS BORDER REPORTER GUSTAVO SAYS A FEW THINGS THREATEN THEIR LONG-TERM FUTURE DECLINING DONATIONS AND RISING COSTS.

THE ORGANIZATIONS MIGRANT SHELTERS HAVE GIVEN THOUSANDS OF ASYLUM-SEEKERS REFUGE ON THEIR WAY TO THE U.S. NOW, ALL OF THAT IS AT RISK OF SHUTTING DOWN.

HE SAYS THEY LOST A MAJORITY OF DONORS DURING THE PANDEMIC AND THE CURRENT RECESSION HAS MADE EVERYTHING MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE.

>> Reporter: HE MANAGES THESE PROGRAMS.

SHE SAYS THE MIGRANT SHELTER FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN WOULD BE THE FIRST TO CLOSE.

AT THIS RATE, THEY HAVE ENOUGH CASH ON HAND TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON FOR MAYBE ANOTHER MONTH.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REASONS FOR THE SHELTERS CURRENT SITUATION.

A COUPLE OF MAJOR DONORS DIED DURING COVID.

ALSO, U.S.

DONATIONS DECLINED DURING THE PANDEMIC AND NOW, PEOPLE ARE DONATING BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY.

EVERYTHING HAS BEEN CUT IN HALF SINCE BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT, DONATIONS, EVEN VOLUNTEERS.

SHELTERS THROUGHOUT THE CITY ARE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION.

THEY ARE OVERCROWDED AND UNDERFUNDED SINCE 2020.

THEY HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE ON TUESDAY MORNING THE LAST DITCH EFFORT TO SECURE MORE FUNDING.

THAT IS IMPORTANT TO THEM.

>> Reporter: MOST OF HIS CLIENTS ARE TWO REFERRALS AND NEARLY 60% ARE FROM THE LGBT COMMUNITY.

A FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER.

>> KNOWING MYSELF AND BEING PART OF THE COMMUNITY MADE THAT PERSONAL CONNECTION.

IT FELT RIGHT TO NOT ONLY MYSELF, BUT ALSO THE SELLERS AS WELL.

>> HALF OF RENTERS FEAR DISCRIMINATION, WHEN BUYING A HOME.

WHILE THERE ARE LAWS IN PLACE TO PROTECT THEM, IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY THE FEAR OF THE HOME BUYING PROCESS.

IN A RECENT SURVEY, MORE THAN HALF OF LGBTQ RESPONDENTS SAID THEY COULDN'T BUY A HOME IF THEY WERE UNSURE ABOUT BEING ACCEPTED IN THE COMMUNITY.
