They must be writing them on $20 bills.
What's with "The City"? Cat lying on their shift key?
Religious Witness with Homeless People needs to house the bums in their churches and quit asking the taxpayers to bear the burden.
San Francisco is a giant toilet filled with aggressive thug career "homeless."
I'd wager not a lot of those religious folk actually reside in the city limits.
It means that the taxpayers will come up with the money to pay for the house and also provide "supportive" care (like hookers, for instance).
Where do all these freaky groups come from and who funds them, anyway?
Religious Witness with Homeless People said quality of life citations, which also include public drinking, urination and trespassing, criminalize people for not being able to afford housing and cost The City at least $342,000 a year to issue.
Good grief! The city should hand those bums some kitty litter, a pooper scooper and send them on their way to the All Drinks Are On the House Bar and Grill.

Tell all the homeless to go to Religious Witness front doorstep, and use it for their Toilet! wait about a week and ask them if they still dont want citations.????

They are NOT homeless! They are "Domicile Challenged."

-----I remember of some others who did this very same thing because they were homeless and they were called victims and got houses and checks. Flame on.......
"I want permanent supportive housing" I also want a view of the bay. Could it also have amenities such as Bingo on Thurday and no liver and onions in the soup kitchen?
I think they should delineate out camp sites on the sidewalks, number them, and put shower and bathroom facility buildings on every other block. Then put a pond every so often, man made of course, stock it with fish, etc.
They should be able to get the support for this in S.F. Then make it one of America's best campgrounds.
How can S.F. be so insensitive to the homeless! These poor people have absolutely nothing and now they're not even allowed to camp out. Tsk, tsk, tsk!
What it would cost
Estimated funding required to create enough supportive housing to serve 3, 000 hard-core homeless people in San Francisco:
$450 million to build or lease an additional 3,000 units
$150 million of that would probably have to come from city funds
$300 million of that would probably have to come from state and federal funds
$30 million a year needed to maintain the units with services .Sources: Corporation for Supportive Housing, San Francisco Department of Human Service
money well spent in my opinion.
In fact, if it were up to me i'd throw every bum I saw with a stolen shopping cart in jail for theft.
Depends on the City's charter and definition. The basic program centers around "homeless" with mental or physical disabilities. That's the starting point. One City focuses on permanent "low-income housing", another City does Rehab, and the SF "PERMANENT supportive housing" involves a pdf file.
