Mayor London Breed’s proposed budget for the coming fiscal year will soar by $1.2 billion — making it the largest in city history — and boost investment in tackling the city’s most urgent problems: housing and homelessness. — SF Chronicle
The housing and homelessness crisis in major cities, especially in San Francisco, has been an ongoing issue. Mayor London Breed met with city officials and San Francisco residents to address new plans to address solutions towards the increased initiative towards housing and homelessness. With an increase in this coming fiscal budget, the Mayor and Board of Supervisors have decided to spend it on replacing the older dilapidated public housing units in the city as well as add 1,000 affordable and market-rate homes to the area. During her public proposal Breed stressed the new spending plan would focus on "equity and accountability for all" especially those in overlooked communities like Sunnydale.
"It's all about housing," Breed said at the Sunnydale event. "We all know the cost of housing is too high. We all know the problem did not happen overnight and will not be solved overnight." With this increased budget, there will be challenges. However, this has not slowed Breed's focus on increasing homeless support, mental health services, investment in transit, and equity programs.
