241 million per year. I think they can do a lot better for that money.
I've been inside one of the largest homeless shelters in my state. Houses over 500. On-site meals, medical, job assistance, even haircuts. It seemed like a very tightly ran ship to accomidate all that was required, and still it can only house a tiny portion of the nearby homeless. If you research other shelters in SF, some of them are very small, they house sometimes as few as 10 people each. The wait lists are long. Very long. It's just not enough, not even close.
If they could build a facility or series of them with lots of private spaces for those in need with lots of services on-site or nearby, it would go a long way towards addressing the most pressing problem which is that these people don't have a place to live. I don't see why 241 million per year couldn't accomplish a task like that. They should increase the amount, even. This is a very wealthy area. Give this problem the funds it deserves.
