Across hundreds of community meetings & thousands of doors, residents say homelessness is their number one concern. That’s why our March budget message focuses on ending the era of unmanaged encampments by scaling up basic shelter & investing in prevention, mental health care, & job training.

Yesterday, focus won. Safety won. Ending the era of encampments won.
The City Council approved our March Budget Message unanimously with no amendments. This is a win for our entire community, many of whom shaped this message and worked tirelessly to support City Hall getting back to the basics. Thank you to my colleagues for supporting this push to make our city work better for all of us.
