SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- San Francisco Mayor London Breed has announced plans to double the city's goal for homeless shelters and temporary housing. Increased investments in the city's family homelessness and pipeline projects have put the city on track to reach its 2028 goal by next year, according to the mayor's office. As a result, Mayor Breed has directed the San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing to amend its 5-year homelessness plan. That plan, the Home By the Bay plan, was released in July 2023 and was intended to cut unsheltered homelessness by 50 percent. The plan, which was data-driven, according to Breed's office, indicated that the city needed 1,075 new shelter beds by 2028. On Thursday, Mayor Breed announced that with the beds already added under the plan and with the current pipeline projects, the city will hit that goal sometime in 2025. Man steals $10M from former SF employer; spends some proceeds on pet cloning: DOJ Once that planned pipeline projects are completed, the city will have 4,560 beds, 1,060 more than the 3,500 beds the city had when the plan was launched. That would be an increase of 90% since Mayor Breed took office in 2018. With the city nearing the goal for its five-year plan, Mayor Breed has directed the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing to double the shelter and temporary housing goal in the Home By the Bay Plan. "City workers are out every day working hard to deliver new shelter and housing and to bring people indoors," said Mayor Breed. "I'm proud of our commitment and the new shelter beds we've added, but we've got more work to do. We will keep doing what is necessary to add shelter beds, while doing the work to add permanent housing options so people have the ability to come indoors off our streets and get on the path to long-term housing stability." According to the mayor's office, during the first year of the Home By the Bay plan, San Francisco sheltered nearly 10,000 individuals and helped 5,250 people move from homelessness to housing. The plan has also helped provide over 8,200 people with prevention support like rental assistance to keep them from falling into homelessness to begin with.
