She told reporters, “We are going to make them so uncomfortable on the streets of San Francisco that they have to take our offer” of shelter or housing. She continued, “We will be using law enforcement to cite, and those citations can get progressive and can lead to a misdemeanor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The intensified rhetoric comes as voter polling \u003ca href=\"https://www.bayareacouncil.org/press-releases/2022-bay-area-council-poll-voters-demand-get-tough-approach-on-homelessness/\">frequently shows homelessness is a top issue for San Franciscans\u003c/a> and as the incumbent seeks to overcome challengers’ accusations that she hasn’t done enough to clean the city’s streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It follows \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11997352/newsom-orders-state-agencies-to-dismantle-homeless-encampments-across-california\">Gov.

effective — not implemented just because someone’s job is on the line…What is happening now is a quick and performative election-year gimmick,” Peskin said in a statement. “Mayor Breed and former

effective — not implemented just because someone’s job is on the line…What is happening now is a quick and performative election-year gimmick,” Peskin said in a statement. “Mayor Breed and former

And, while the city’s overall homeless population has increased in recent years, the number of people in San Francisco sleeping in tents, cars and RVs has \u003ca href=\"https://hsh.sfgov.org/about/research-and-reports/pit/\">decreased by 16%\u003c/a> since 2019, according to data from the federal Point-in-Time count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with those efforts, a drop-off of pandemic-era rent and eviction relief, persistent economic inequality, and the ongoing shortage of both emergency and permanent affordable housing have all enabled a steady flow of people falling into homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The numbers don’t show that kind of impact because, sadly, we’re dealing with the influx of people from everywhere,” Breed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Dangerous Precedent\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Caught in the middle of the political winds are people actually living on the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really fueling some very mean-spirited policies and acts of vigilantism and attacks on homeless people,” Supervisor Dean Preston said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preston joined other government officials and unhoused San Francisco residents at a recent rally outside Hotel Whitcomb, where attendees decried Breed’s recent actions. Advocates are calling on the city to acquire the hotel and use it to house people who are experiencing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several speakers highlighted the fact that people living on the street are \u003ca href=\"https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2803839\">more likely to die of overdose\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://nhchc.org/study-shows-involuntary-displacement-of-people-experiencing-homelessness-may-cause-significant-spikes-in-mortality-overdoses-and-hospitalizations/\">end up in the hospital\u003c/a>, and experience other traumatic setbacks when they are forcefully displaced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, we have seen in an election year over and over again, going back decades in this city, that ramped-up rhetoric and talk of criminalizing homeless people is viewed by some as a ticket to electoral success in this city,” Preston said. “And it’s disgusting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11998912\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11998912\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240801-ENCAMPMENT-SWEEPS-MD-01_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240801-ENCAMPMENT-SWEEPS-MD-01_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240801-ENCAMPMENT-SWEEPS-MD-01_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240801-ENCAMPMENT-SWEEPS-MD-01_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240801-ENCAMPMENT-SWEEPS-MD-01_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240801-ENCAMPMENT-SWEEPS-MD-01_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240801-ENCAMPMENT-SWEEPS-MD-01_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man experiencing homelessness packs up his belongings in anticipation of an encampment sweep by San Francisco’s Dept. of Public Works around Showplace Square on Aug. 1. \u003ccite>(Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Breed did not confirm when reporters asked last week whether jail time is on the table for people who defy sit-lie laws.

In the coming five years, that deficit is expected to increase to $1.3 billion, according to city projections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the budget’s significant outlays are a minimum wage increase to $25 an hour for city workers and an investment of $45 million to outreach and drug treatment programs coming from settlements the city has reached with drug companies and pharmacies over their roles in the overdose crisis. The spending plan sustains funding for programs addressing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also includes increases to law enforcement and funding for downtown revitalization — both key areas of Breed’s reelection campaign amid a contentious race. Her \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11988875/breeds-15-9-billion-sf-budget-plan-adds-money-for-police-other-city-workers\">proposal\u003c/a> included that new and existing entry-level police employees would receive nearly 8% salary increases, and incentives would be added to attract and retain early and mid-career officers to stem a staffing shortage. The plan also allocated $3.7 million over two years for new surveillance cameras and data collection following the passage of Measure E in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Connie Chan criticized the budget’s reliance on one-time funds, which include reserve money and revenue from various ballot measures, to close the gap, saying the move is not a sustainable way to finance the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is always a moment for celebration when we can finish out the [budget] process every year; this is not that moment,” she told KQED. “This time around, we know that this budget can really only last us for the next six months. It literally was stitched together by the mayor just to get us through the next six months. We know that when the new year comes, San Franciscans have some tough choices in front of us that we have to make.”[aside postID=news_11997957 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230831-SAFE-USE-POP-UP-MD-04-KQED-1020x680.jpg']Cuts to the Department of Public Health, which could affect funding for oral health care and food security and nutrition programs, will begin in fiscal year 2025, Chan said.

The spending plan sustains funding for programs addressing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also includes increases to law enforcement and funding for downtown revitalization — both key areas of Breed’s reelection campaign amid a contentious race. Her \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11988875/breeds-15-9-billion-sf-budget-plan-adds-money-for-police-other-city-workers\">proposal\u003c/a> included that new and existing entry-level police employees would receive nearly 8% salary increases, and incentives would be added to attract and retain early and mid-career officers to stem a staffing shortage. The plan also allocated $3.7 million over two years for new surveillance cameras and data collection following the passage of Measure E in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
