“We have the funds to do this,” Supervisor Rafael Mandelman said. “There are few projects more important to San Francisco’s future than ending street encampments, and we simply can not do it without additional shelter.”
Supervisor Rafael Mandelman is proposing a rapid addition of 2,000 emergency shelter beds for the homeless in San Francisco and is willing to sidestep his bureaucratic nemesis to achieve that goal.
Mandelman’s proposal was announced hours before the San Francisco Board of Supervisors held a hearing Tuesday on A Place for All, the report the Supervisors commissioned to plot a three-year path to ending unsheltered homelessness in San Francisco. In response to the persistent criticism, HSH offered an alternative path that would lower its cost estimates from $1.45 billion to $992 million over the first three years of the plan. To do so, it would scrap new investments in permanent housing and focus all of its efforts on establishing more than 5,000 new temporary shelter beds.
City officials defended the Place for All report, largely arguing that overemphasis on temporary shelter — without also investing in permanent supportive housing and prevention services — would save money upfront but actually result in a cycle of escalating homelessness.
