      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.

      Unfortunately, we both know that is not the budget. All one has to do is Google San Francisco Homeless Budget and the figures are twice what you show. Considering what we both do for a living. I'll go with what I know. You can go with what you believe. Enjoy your day.

      Everything is worse not better. Money cannot solve problems. Starve the system. Tough love, help displaced families and clean individuals make it a Mandate....lol

      Over 8,000 formerly homeless are now housed. That is a big thing we have to show for it.

      I agree and have argued before that we should house and treat the mentally ill and families before addicts. A little tough love with the addicts will go a long way. We have coddled able bodies individuals for too long.
