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.

That's right and that comes out of the Homeless Services budget. As I said, most of the money is spent on supportive housing. At best there is another $40M or so in medical support.

Your audit support my claim, not your claim of $1B dollars. Did you even read it? The Department administers most of its services through contracts with service providers. The total budgeted amount for contracts for FY 2019-20 is $209.4 million,

My article talks about all costs involved in homelessness and I ran it by two supervisors — one progressive and one moderate — who both said my numbers looked “close but a little low.”

Please point me to that article. I can't find it on the Marina Times website. I didn't know until now that you are a journalist :)
