As San Francisco city leaders work to balance their budget, some community organizations are worried housing assistance could take a hit.
SAN FRANCISCO â The current proposed budget cuts would impact many public and nonprofit service organizations, cutting their budgets by 10 percent.So, on Wednesday afternoon, The People's Budget Coalition gathered 40 groups that provide housing, food, and jobs to San Francisco residents for a rally outside City Hall.They are asking leaders to continue to work on the budget and not cut from housing-related organizations.
She said, in that way, the organization saves the city money.'The tenants that we're working with, they are telling us that there is trash in their buildings, there are cockroaches, there are mice, mold, there are drafts, there are leaks. And without our programs, these issues would only get worse,' she said.She said the city's budget for her organization is projecting a 15% cut. That won't just impact the people who use their services but also her staff.
