In a controversial push to get San Francisco's unhoused population out of town, Mayor London Breed has put out an executive order to buy bus tickets for the homeless population as the city's shelters near full.
Tara CampbellSan Francisco's Journey Home Executive Directive will require city staff to offer relocation assistance and services to unhoused individuals.In a controversial push to get San Francisco's unhoused population out of town, Mayor London Breed has put out an executive order to buy bus tickets for the homeless population as the city's shelters near full.
All city departments working with homeless people have been ordered to offer relocation assistance before providing any other services, including housing and shelter."I support as long as we verify people will actually have a place," said Del Seymour, the founder of Code Tenderloin, a nonprofit working with people on the streets for decades.Seymour said the city's relocation efforts often fall short.
Part of the reason for this directive stems from San Francisco's 2024 Point-in-Time Count, which the city says found that it is experiencing an increase in people who experience homelessness coming to the city from elsewhere compared to previous counts.
