Much of the work of dealing with the homeless is handled by nonprofit organizations that the City contracts with. The mayor’s office said the City plans to redo all contracts involving homeless services to focus on better “outcomes and accountability for results.”
In a statement, Lurie said, “We are not going to continue spending $1 billion of taxpayer money on a failing system — We’re fixing the system so we can deliver the safe and clean streets every San Franciscan deserves.”
