Enough is enough. We have to efficiently utilize every program we have to address our city’s homelessness crisis.
SF Examiner: SF homelessness program now a mayoral battleground [[link removed]]
If you haven’t heard, last week I revived a city program that pays for travel assistance to help unhoused individuals get back home to their loved ones. The Board of Supervisors supported the measure, and it will:
*
Add
the
Homeward
Bound
initiative
to
the
City’s
Administrative
Code,
making
it
an
official
program.


*
Establish
clear
criteria
for
eligibility
and
oversight
through
mandated
reporting.


*
Expand
the
program
to
people
in
permanent
supportive
housing
and
those
in
city-run
shelters,
not
just
people
living
on
the
streets.


In the program's first years under former Mayor Gavin Newsom, we reunited 11,000 people with their families, but in the past few years, we’ve barely assisted 300 individuals a year.
It is hard to fathom that we weren't engaging families and individuals in our shelters, but now we can allow them to return to their hometowns and supportive networks. The current administration almost let this program die under layers of bureaucracy. We need a leader in the mayor’s office who will provide real solutions for our homelessness crisis.
That’s why I’m asking for your support. Will you join me by donating to my grassroots campaign? [[link removed]]
