How about trying to convince them to invest more in actual mental health resources and supportive housing?
I'm continuing to work to convince some of my fellow Supervisors that we need to support strengthening our conservatorship laws to help those who are suffering on our streets from mental illness and severe drug addiction get the help they need.https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/More-talk-less-action-on-effort-to-get-mentally-12868309.php …

It’s going to take a STRONG MAYOR to address this most pressing visible issue in our city. Our streets have HOMELESS folks and their needs from an humanitarian standpoint must be address.

Leaving mentally ill people who can't care for themselves to suffer on the streets is the height of cruelty. I can't believe there are supervisors who don't support better conservatorship laws.

Try the Democrats! We are ready to help the homeless and be advocates for mental illness! I believe that mental illness is much more prevalent than most imagine!

Yes!!! This applies to 70% of the homeless population - languishing on the streets & in homeless shelters,many are scared to death to be put into SRO's,to be by themselves - they need to be in supervised care facilities!!!
