San Francisco Mayor to Allocate More Than $692M to Battle Homelessness in the City

Despite facing a budget deficit, San Francisco Mayor London Breed is looking to allocate more than $692 million toward helping the city’s large homeless population.

Breed’s budget proposal includes investments to add 600 new shelter beds, and 545 affordable housing slots specifically for the formerly unhoused. The city will also create 825 slots for prevention, providing resources and eviction protections for those at risk of becoming homeless.

“Despite the challenges around homelessness, between 2019 and 2022, no other Bay Area county saw a reduction in homelessness,” Breed said Tuesday while speaking at an interim housing community in the city. “San Francisco saw a 15% reduction in unsheltered homelessness, and a 3.5% reduction in overall homelessness.”Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
