If we want to see real change for our homeless residents, we need more shelter beds - which are often the first step in helping someone off the streets. This 84-bed center, with 20 beds just for women, brings us closer to my goal of 1,000 new beds by 2020.https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/SF-opens-its-newest-Navigation-Center-Wednesday-13518892.php …

Good question. Yes, securing locations is always difficult, but 1,000 beds is the biggest expansion in San Francisco in 30 years. The idea is the nightly wait-list for shelter is ~1,000 people per night - this would help ensure that we have enough beds for people that want one.
I'm also proposing we spend the $181 million in recent windfall money the City is recognizing on more resources for affordable housing and homelessness funding, including expanding our behavioral health and substance use beds.

I admit that I am perplexed. Sure it is a nice "looking" plan. And I understand that
@sfbos will do the same. But why 2 plans? Keep in mind,@MattHaneySF is conducting the first of several town halls on how to spend the $181mm. What is this, a round-robin?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
