While you're at it, call in the DEA and have them arrest and prosecute the government officials who are drugging up people with meth and dumping them on the street.

You're just spreading more propaganda from the corporate mouthpiece media. Most people don;t give the homeless any money nor are homeless getting welfare. You can't get general assistance unless you have an apartment at a residential street address. A post office box is not an acceptable address to obtain welfare. Furthermore, there are no services to get homeless off the streets. In fact, the homeless problem is a deliberate plan to get rid of low rise apartment buildings (and their middle class residents) and replace them with high rises for the wealthy class. Do a search for "Agenda 21" and you will see how cities are being gutted to build high rise housing.

The year 2015 spring I lost everything I lost my apartment, I got evicted from my place. My car got repo, because I wasn’t making any payments I was working at a gas station but I was chasing a dream so I quite my job. I didn’t have no money or noting save up, I had no rich family members to help me.. so I end up homeless I move to someone house down south but they kick me out they place because they stole from our job. So I got fire, funny thing is the same person who fire me call me later on down the line and ask if I wanted my job back but it was way to late.. but back to the story I end up sleeping at a Grey hound station and I had to leave a lot of my clothes behind.. I smell bad like old sweat and dirt I look bad, I wasn’t eating food I ate when I can but it wasn’t the best food to eat. My clothes was dirty and I slept on Grey hound station floors.. i detox my body too I shave all my hairs off my body and head and throw away all my old dirty clothing. I had to shower for a hour to get the smell off me. Fast forward I end up getting a job at McDonald’s and a car wash and fast forward again I end up getting my real estate license and now I’m a sales broker also. I have my own place now and making good money now, I have a new car and a good career. I end up gaining 55 pounds by eating well and hitting the gym also, I have a lot of new clothing and underwear.. I shower twice a day and get haircuts every week and wear very good cologne. Went from wearing rags to wearing name brand clothing and suits to work. When people look at me you wouldn’t know I use to live on the streets. I am very grateful and thankful now And being homeless made me humble and very strong.

A director of the Department of Homelessness?! There's the root of the problem. I'm sure he's making over 100K per year managing fat contracts for all of the city departments. Who would want homelessness to be solved when it's a booming industry with many making a handsome living from it. Just like Wayfair providing migrant furniture for border detention centers, San Francisco has suppliers for homeless furniture in the shelters.

I am flabbergasted that the same f____ story continues regarding the SF budget for the homeless and the city's inability to account for expenditures due to the multitude of different departments and programs that provide services. The plan (not sure of date) at least 6 months ago was to consolidate services so it would be easier to track. And nothing has been done yet? Nothing at least started yet? If the people responsible in city government were held to some resemblance of accountability when it came to expenditures and promises, I think we would see some successful problem solving in one of the greatest cities on earth (or once considered to be). I am prone to suspect greed, laziness, lack of empathy ( many psychologist agree that a large portion of politicians suffer from some level of sociopathic personality disorder) and misappropriation (theft) of public funds. As usual....the talking heads keep reporting what amounts to a lot of talk and no action, and they actually believe that the public won't notice.

Ok, so I was homeless for three years after my dad lost his job during the recession. Here’s what happens with homeless: for me, I left my dad, he moved to Georgia with a women. I stayed behind, but was not addicted to drugs. I had an eating disorder and I used alcohol to forget the disorder. I did not want to sleep on a mat on the ground next to stinky, drug abusing, bug infested thieves in a shelter. The ONLY reason to stay in a shelter was to get a shower in the morning. I slept behind a dumpster behind the Wendy’s that I worked at. A shelter means, long lines, sleeping next to strangers, bed bugs and scabies, waking up early (5am) and chores. It also means free food, showers, warmth, a pad to sleep on, and safety. You don’t always have the time to get to a shelter before they are full, and you don’t always have the transportation. I’m a nurse now. I ended up in a fishing cannery and made something of myself. Please understand that shelters are not what all homeless want to sleep in. It’s actually nicer in a tent

They are still spending roughly 20K per homeless and sheltered individual. What a waste of resources. Someone is getting rich. It's time to declare a defeat in the war on poverty. Subsidizing this type of behavior just gets you more of this type of behavior. This country is getting stupider by the day.

Alan Tolbert mental illness is a big part of homelessness, so I'd advise prior to playing good Samaritan and taking a homeless person home, or even awarding them cash, unless you're certain of their sanity, won't help. offer to provide a meal, and if you possibly have information for centers that help the homeless, pass it on. homeless are Americans too.

How is mental illness a cause of homelessness? If your rent is increased 30% and you're evicted, it doesn't matter whether you're insane or perfectly rational. The booming economy and rent increases are a hoax that is crated by the government shoveling tons of money into big cities. Furthermore, did you know that the government is actually creating so called "mental illness" by intentionally drugging people with methamphetamine and dumping them on the street in plain view of the public? Just do a search for "Safe Injection Sites" and you will see that the government is actually perpetrating a cruel hoax on the pubic to make it appear that cities are being overrun with mentally deranged people.

kansasthunderman1 the housing bubble busting is a new phenomenon, homeless have been with us since the 1980's, so all these updates in rent is fairly new, yet homelessness persist. I believe it's just your white ass attempting to lay the misfortune of homelessness at the feet of those suffering, when in fact I believe it's a government plan to usurp all real estate and put it in the hands of white drug addicts.

You can't seem to organize your departments to work together, but the 💰 gets distributed around via quick pay every friday.

Gee. I wonder if San Francisco becoming a 'sanctuary city' is going to make this situation better, or worse??????

That’s what happens when you crown one single political party, who promised so much but deliver so little. Bottom line. I’ve lived in California my whole life, so if you think I don’t know what I’m talking about....

I feel safer homeless on the street rather than a shelter

Goes into the pockets of the far left

Drugs and alcohol. More money means more money for addicts.

how so?

I stayed 3 days in San Francisco a month ago -- near Union Square. Will never visit the city again. Homeless people everywhere, urine and stink all over sidewalks, had to do the 'bum hurdle" every night going to restaurants. (I live in LA. ) Also will not be voting for Newsome for governor.

This is the same question that seems to be increasing all along the West Coast all the way up to the the worst place to be homeless, Alaska.

The money goes to the “Tenderloin” drug dealers.

That money goes into the Administrative cost and their pockets.

As soon as you get a handle on the homelessness in San Francisco, more homeless people will head to San Francisco to reap the benefits. When you offer free anything, expect the line for those freebies to grow in perpetuity.

the cost of housing aka real estate is the problem. the only current solution would be jail or deportation since homeless can choose not to accept help.

That’s easy. Consultants, management fees, administration fees, distribution coordinators, “private” IT contractors, third party audits, data gathering and processing, field managers, security, meetings and conferences in Chicago, New York and Paris, employee meal and vehicle reimbursement, and foremen, managers, superintendents and directors. Any questions?

many in the city are taking long trips around the world living good on money that was to go to the homeless

Always love the question; "Where is the money?" In politics; the "Money" NEVER gets to where it was intended, but just allocated to a bill the city/ county/ state needs money for that week.

Its nice to help the truly needy. For sure. The difficulty is that many of these folks won't lift a finger to do any work. Some of us are working our asses off to pay taxes to feed and coddle the lazy ones. They always seem to have enough money for drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol.

Thank you. Great report and information. I learned something today.

if San Fran is Getting 240 million dollars a year for the homeless and they say there 6,000 people on the streets . u can give those people at least 100,000 each to change their life around and there would still be money left over this is disgusting and just plain wrong

Wouldn't work as their 17,000 homeless which 9,000 in supported housing. You would need 1.7 billion dollars to give each person $100,000.

The greatest, most powerful country in the world. Yea, right.

241 million, where does it go ? Nancy Pelosi. gets $ 120.5 million Maxine Waters gets $ 120.5 million That's where it goes.

tax your residents 80 % of their income so you can support your voters, they'll vote for you in their lifetime just keep supporting them.

Wow! I left sf 2 years ago and still same problems. Get it together guys...

Poverty is where the money is.

What does the San Francisco’s congress woman do to help this situation? How does she respond to the situation?

The problem could simply be fixed in California by electing a Republican instead of a Democrat. As long they continue to elect Democrats the problem will never be fixed.

I don’t know why, but this story made me get tears in my eyes for these people who need real help. I live in Florida but was homeless in Los Angeles for three years. Then I got help, went to college and life is better now. But I completely understand the feeling of homelessness. It’s very draining physically, emotionally and it causes despair.

The California middle class leaving will bring this to other states.

I use to enjoy vacationing in California with my family. No more. Looks absolutely disgusting.

I know, give everybody a trophy...

It isn't being spent on homeless Americans.

The *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV] residents pay rent for their units based on a percentage of their net income. The HSV pays for utility hook ups, one free meal a day, and childcare. Laundry, shower, toilet, and cooking-facilities are provided. Dumpters and the staff's salaries; which should total only $260,000 a year. Where is it getting its "millions more to run" lie from?

The homeless budget is over $300M now in 2018. One result is the 50% reduction in street sweeping in my neighborhood.
