SF Mayor: $1B extra to homeless

Monthly Budget (basic, 1 person) Rent: $1.5k Food: $500 Health: $1k Everything else: $500 Total: $3.5k * 12 = $42k per year? Okay.

$1 billion / $42k = 24,000 homeless people? Wow, seems high.

Nah. Internet search says 8,000. But let’s assume 24k based on the calculations.

Population of SF: 875k

Note that percent homeless in US: 0.2%

Percent of homeless in SF: almost 3%? Or 10 times worse than US average?

If that’s true, then it sounds like SF needs a new mayor and a new city council.

I wonder how much homeless actually receive vs how much those so-called agencies and non-profit org receive.

That would be about $50-100K per homeless person in SF per year.
