$60,000 Homeless ‘Tents’ Adding Millions to San Francisco’s Spiraling Social Utopia Funding Obligations.

Note – The Leviticus 25 Plan allows for freedom of choice. San Francisco’s homeless population can continue to stay cost-free in their tents and receive free “showers, on-site meals” and “round the clock staffing and security.”

Meanwhile, millions of other hard-working, law-abiding, responsible American families can choose participate in The Leviticus 25 Plan, and live their lives free of ‘serfdom’ obligations to government and banks.

That initiative hiked San Francisco’s already high business taxes by 33 percent with the goal of raising around $300 million per year to be spent on homelessness, supportive housing, and mental health services—almost double the $380 million the city was already spending.

Critics Warned the Largest Tax Increase in San Francisco History Would Be Ill-Spent. It’s Now Funding $60,000 Tents for the Homeless.

San Francisco politicians are raising eyebrows at the high costs of an emergency program that provides secure camping sites to the city’s homeless.

When San Francisco voters were considering a 2018 ballot measure that would impose the largest tax increase in city history to fund homelessness services, critics warned that the initiative’s spending plan was vague and unaccountable. Now, a chunk of that money is going to fund some very expensive tents.

On Wednesday, staff for the city’s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing went before the Board of Supervisors’ Budget and Appropriations Committee to request $20 million over the next two fiscal years to continue operating six “safe sleeping” tent encampments.

This safe sleeping program was launched early in the pandemic as a way of getting people out of crowded shelters, and into open-air, socially distanced camping sites where the homeless had access to showers, meals, and around-the-clock security.

The total cost of the program in its first year was roughly $18.2 million for around 260 tents, which the San Francisco Chronicle notes is about $61,000 per tent per year or twice the median cost of an apartment in the city.

Those high costs, and city staff’s proposal to continue funding what was supposed to be a temporary, pandemic-era program, raised eyebrows among supervisors at Wednesday’s meeting.

Gigi Whitley, a Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing staffer, told Safai that of the $18 million the city had spent on safe sleeping sites, about $1.2 million was for the showers, $3 million was for providing meals on-site, and $13 million was going to provide round-the-clock staffing and security.

The existing safe sleeping sites are needed to absorb the people who the city is trying to move out of hotels, where they’ve been lodged during the pandemic. Currently, there’s not enough shelter capacity in the city to house all the homeless currently in these hotels.

The entirety of the funding for the safe sleeping program comes from money raised by the controversial Proposition C, which voters passed in 2018. That initiative hiked San Francisco’s already high business taxes by 33 percent with the goal of raising around $300 million per year to be spent on homelessness, supportive housing, and mental health services—almost double the $380 million the city was already spending.
