San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie on Monday is set to unveil a clearer vision and timeline for addressing the city’s unhoused crisis.
Lurie, who was elected in part on his promises to make San Francisco streets safer and cleaner, has said the city needs more options for shelter, permanent housing and treatment.
On Monday, he is expected to issue a new executive directive that he says will build on the recent fentanyl emergency order signed into law last month, with specific targets outlined for the next 100 days, 6 months and year.
In the next 100 days. Lurie is proposing a new model for street outreach teams and more options for those who need it. There will also be reforms to health and homelessness services, as well as assistance programs meant to provide more stability and self sufficiency.
Within six months, Lurie hopes to deliver on his 1,500-bed commitment for shelters and hopes to hold nonprofit partners accountable with a review of funding priorities.
One year out, Lurie wants the state and federal government to help more with funding.
Meanwhile, San Francisco faces an estimated $876 million budget shortfall.
The mayor is expected Monday to attend an event for Compass Family Services, one of the hubs connecting the homeless population to city programs and resources.
