There is limited amounts of public money that we have to spend. I would personally rather see most of it go to people down on their luck and the mentally ill homeless first. If we can get a big bang for our buck, treating addicts might be worth it.

If you call over 500 million dollars limited...then you are part of the problem.

*$500M with no transparency, outcome measures, public accountability.

Where do you get these figures? Are you talking about the entire budget for homelessness? Most of that is actually spent on housing formerly homeless. And it wasn't $500M last year or the year before, it was more like $240M.

Stop it. The city's 2020–21 budget for the Department of Homeless and Supportive Housing is about $852 million. To put that in perspective, Sacramento's city budget is about $650 million, which covers all public services for their population of over 500,000

The budget for the Department of Homeless and Supportive Housing in 2019 was $300M. Either you are being disingenuous or simply misinformed.

But I sure hope that big surge in money makes a big difference!

San Francisco spends $240M a year providing housing for 8,000 formerly homeless individuals and has been doing so for at least five years.

I'll help you understand a little bit more before I go. Did you include all the funds that go from the City to all the non profits that deal with the homeless cottage industry? Of course not. You are watching the forest, I'm watching the leaves on the trees.
