Low-income residents of San Francisco Chinatown SRO's are raising concerns over Mayor London Breed's budget proposal that slashes critical funding for the advocates they rely on.
Cupping Tan, along with her husband and daughter, has been living in an Single Room Occupancy, or SRO, in San Francisco for the past four years since they moved here from China.
She is just one of hundreds of SRO residents concerned about the mayor's proposed budget cuts, which aim to eliminate over $5 million from the Code Enforcement and Outreach Program as well as the SRO housing program. Many of them gathered at a rally in San Francisco's Chinatown Wednesday to voice those concerns.
The program is supported by a coalition of neighborhood organizations. It provides linguistically and culturally sensitive assistance to both tenants and landlords.
