Compassionate Alternative Response Team - SF

Community-led effort to create an alternative to police response to homelessness. CART commits to centering care not criminalization & changing the narrative.

If you have been following us for a while now, you know that in last year's budget cycle we secured just about $3million in funding to begin the implementation of CART- a community based alternative to the police response of homelessness.

@scott_anderson @ketocrazy143 We are not an organization, we are a collective of community organizations. Beyond that, this is not the issue we work on. If you are looking for the individual opinions of orgs in our collective I would encourage you to do that individual follow up.

It was a privilege to speak at @CART_SF’s rally last week. @SFDefender is a strong CART proponent because we see too often the harm that police can cause unhoused and vulnerable members of our community, many of whom are our clients. 1/

Energized by all the folks who turned out today to fund @CART_SF as a behavioral health response to non-emergency 911 & 311 calls about homelessness.

On May 5, 2023 the Department of Emergency Management (DEM) used funding allocated by the Board of Supervisors for the stakeholder designed Compassionate Alternative Response Team and instead awarded funding to Urban Alchemy for a program called Community Response Team (CRT).

[JWaggo @jwaggo]

@LWVSF @CART_SF It's been two years and CART has yet to be funded or implemented. Ask the Mayor and Board of Supervisors to fully fund this effective solution.

What can you do now?
