Dubbed “A Place for All,” the legislation adopted Tuesday calls on The City to draft a plan that would add enough shelter beds for all unsheltered homeless people in San Francisco.
The move was a tacit acknowledgement that the city may never build enough housing to solve its homelessness crisis — a problem supervisors laid at the feet of nearly every kind of elected official but themselves.
The Supervisors' rejection of a proposed housing project on Stevenson Street last year drew state scrutiny , but not a lawsuit, Wiener noted.The policy approved by Supervisors on Tuesday is not an all-out reversal from the city’s longstanding “housing first” approach to homelessness, but the new legislation spearheaded by Supervisor Rafael Mandelman is certainly a diversion from that path.
“We can keep doing what we’ve been doing for the last 20 years, but I don’t think that’s actually going to allow us to address our street conditions,” Mandelman said. Under the state’s order, San Francisco is developing an eight-year Housing Element that will require the city to add 32,000 units of affordable housing by the end of 2030. But the city has cried foul, claiming it will cost at least $1.3 billion every year to meet that target.
But that progress hasn’t assuaged the anger of city residents. Thus, reluctantly, Ronen and others supported Mandelman’s legislation.
