activists to give us their opinion ive heard it all let me say this is not a surprise the issue of homelessness the issues of Police Relationships and Police Reform and the quality of life in the diverse neighborhoods are all at the first and foremost of what people think are important for the city we have reflected that in this budget homelessness definitely is on my mind and on the minds of a lot of san franciscans is he and thats why this creates a Department Open homelessness in support of housing Whose Mission to make homelessness perhaps once in a lifetime for anyone with the increase and coordination and new investments and clear and singular focus well end homelessness for thousand of people in the near future and as she walks up thank you to the president of the board of supervisors lovnd breed and scott wiener and as were creating this new department it includes a significant increase in funding for homelessness for services for homeless residents and focus on
