After passing a pair of laws that restrict where transients can sleep in Palo Alto, the city council is making good on a promise to dedicate more resources toward ending homelessness.The city will join forces with Santa Clara County and spend $250,000 over the next two years on a program to put roofs over the heads of 20 of its most chronically homeless individuals."It is a bit unprecedented and it is a fair amount of money," Council Member Liz Kniss said before joining her colleagues Monday in approving the expenditure, which passed 8-0. Mayor Greg Scharff was absent.The program, which provides housing first and social services second, [url=

"There needs to be a better process. The system is so broken."Council Member Greg Schmid said Carroll had forgotten to factor in the county's housing subsidies, but Council Member Liz Kniss agreed that the city would need to keep careful tabs on its investment."The money dribbles away so quickly that it's [url=

"I'm in the wait-and-see camp."Email Jason Green at ; follow him at .
