It's time the City takes homelessness seriously. Citizens have been paying ipay taxes and into measures to address homelessness but homeless folks (as a whole) are no better off than 5-6 years ago.
Where's the money going?
Who's managing all the funding for homelessness?
The 3rd & Peralta Tiny Home site has the potential to provide a pathway, but where is the funding to provide on site showers and plumbed toilets, purchasing of the Yurt, purchasing Conex and office unit and other needed on site infrastructure.
Don't use homelessness as a selling point in any new measures...fix this first!
From what I gather much of the budget is going to salaries as opposed to services. We need to see where the money os going and how it has served our unhoused neighbors and how it can be improved. Creative solutions!
