Perilous, Dangerous Times: Great upheaval of humans. Mass migrations, refugees, homelessness due to war, famine, pestilence, natural disasters, political persecution, ethnic persecution, religious persecution, economic conflict. The time will be exceedingly ‘dangerous’ for migrant/refugee women baring young children, who have little to no access to food, shelter, medicine, water or protection. It will be so perilous that those women who don’t have babies or young children will be considered ‘lucky.’

2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

Matthew 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

Mark 13:17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

Luke 21:23But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

Luke 23:29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

Matthew 24:21. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Psalm 79:6. Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

Homeless Numbers in San Francisco Much Worse, According to City Data

Thomas Fuller. The New York Times•November 19, 2019

Many cities across California this year announced sharp increases in homelessness. Yet data from San Francisco suggest the real picture might be a lot worse.

For years, city governments have measured homelessness by sending out volunteers on a single night to count, as best they could, the number of homeless people they found on the streets or in shelters. By this method San Francisco this year reported 8,011 homeless people, almost an 18% (6+6+6) increase over 2017, the last time a count was conducted.

But San Francisco has another, arguably more comprehensive, way of measuring homelessness, and the results are even more alarming.

Over the course of a full year, the city counted twice as many homeless people — 18,000 people, a 30% jump from the previous year.

The data, which are rarely cited in debates on homelessness, come from a city database of homeless people who receive health care and other services from the city.

The latest data are from the 2019 fiscal year, which ended in June. If people sought services multiple times during the course of the year they are counted only once.

The 30% (6×5) jump was by far the largest increase of the past eight years, according to the city’s data. Rachael Kagan, the spokeswoman for the city’s Department of Public Health, said this is partly because in the 2019 fiscal year the city conducted an assessment “blitz,” proactively seeking out homeless people at shelters and hospitals.

For around 1,200 (6+6) people, it was the first time they were entered into the city’s databases.

There is no perfect way to measure homelessness, which by nature is transient. Kagan believes the higher numbers are the “most complete picture that we have” of homelessness. But she said it is still likely to be an underestimate.

“It does not include people who did not seek services, so it is still an incomplete picture,” she said.
