Key elements of the recommendation package (as adopted):
- Adult/general permanent housing: fully fund HSH’s recommended programs and add a $1,000,000 ongoing expansion of the Bayview flexible subsidy (Lehi/Bayview pool) to address needs among unhoused single adults in the Bayview/Hunters Point area.
- TAY permanent housing: fully fund HSH’s TAY programs and leverage approximately $10,000,000 to $11,000,000 of projected surplus to expand rapid‑rehousing subsidies by roughly 50 youth for five years (committee discussion referenced an estimated spend of about $40,000 per youth per year in HSH planning numbers).
- Family permanent housing: fully fund family permanent housing programs and leverage approximately $30,000,000 to $31,000,000 of projected surplus to expand rapid‑rehousing subsidies by approximately 125 families for five years (committee and provider testimony referenced a planning figure around $47,000 per family per year).
- Homelessness prevention: fully fund prevention programs at proposed HSH levels and request departments provide outcome data beyond encounter counts so the committee can better assess program impact.

Committee rationale and testimony: Committee members emphasized a focus on families and TAY because PIT‑count data and local casework show rising homelessness among those groups. Member Shifrin said the family investments \"were a priority\" and described the harms children face when families cycle through cars and hotels. Larkin Street and HESPA representatives praised the 5‑year subsidy model for TAY, noting research and practice data suggesting multi‑year supports help young people transition to independence.

Multiple providers and people with lived experience urged the committee to approve the package. Speakers described the difference that longer subsidies make for children’s stability, school continuity and parents’ ability to pursue education and work; several providers reiterated per‑family and per‑youth cost estimates used by HSH staff during liaison discussions.

Vote and next steps: The committee voted to forward the package as a single set of recommendations. Member Walton moved the consolidated package and Member Haddix seconded. Roll call recorded a majority in favor; Vice Chair D'Antonio recused on some housing items due to earlier recusals, and Member Jackson and others were absent or recused where noted. The committee emphasized these are recommendations to the mayor and Board of Supervisors; HSH will determine contracting and program deployment if the mayor and supervisors adopt the recommendations.

Implementation caveats: Committee members noted specificity (per‑unit annual cost assumptions and multi‑year subsidy lengths) and suggested language that allows HSH flexibility if hotel/unit costs or contract conditions change. The prevention recommendation specifically asks departments to provide more outcome measures so the committee can monitor program effectiveness beyond encounter counts.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of San Francisco - Video Open Video Only in Windows Media Player - Apr 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The OCO Oversight Committee on April 24 recommended that the mayor and Board of Supervisors adopt HSH’s budgeted funding levels for permanent housing and prevention programs and approved targeted expansions: a $1 million Bayview subsidy and multi‑year rapid‑rehousing expansions for TAY and families funded from projected surplus dollars.","taxTitle","San Francisco City, San Francisco County, California","taxId",5751,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6580821,"OCO committee urges mayor and supervisors to fully fund DPH mental‑health programs",842,952000,1794000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3113422-9ac717cd6894a0b4f597039aac6eaac9&start=952&end=1794","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3113422-9ac717cd6894a0b4f597039aac6eaac9/thumbnail_952000.jpg","/articles/6580821/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/OCO-committee-urges-mayor-and-supervisors-to-fully-fund-DPH-mentalhealth-programs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6580821-238408a9644227779c799440be275591/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147488&Signature=f15XYkYTbpdHQIgaylpr6O5yqpCbP2BwVLu5gNyR~Q7PFokvnpg5e9aRL0nsNmCIBTcyRzGEpstwAGCuhssHIRCgoyKwD0lipUFKT7CGxJYL5lia8cmEYpQI8C17NCD2kip1Zm0r22oOzo3uYe2TW6-uXK7hzjOVdvzcMWAaJrhEMZkSFH~J6oD5zWUrqSfdSRNzlP9SQFu7bPLyt9cz3MS8jT6angd-HmXHKQ4fx~Ly9QY9n6iiqdGKqpocDcCCFjYqg2Mm44dQMx2yK-a1LB6Kbonxt8GuqfKF8oAA5917G0tEsy8OTX6XZzYPDnrPDnzaHrbf96mKRVgniuJk4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Our City, Our Home Oversight Committee on April 24 recommended that the mayor and Board of Supervisors fully fund all mental‑health programs at the funding levels proposed by the Department of Public Health for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The committee voted to send that recommendation to the mayor and board.

The committee’s recommendation followed a presentation from committee staff and comments from David Adelman, a Department of Public Health budget analyst, who described how locally appropriated acquisition funds and potential state bond awards would interact with the department’s capital and operating plans. \"If we're awarded state Proposition 1 bond funds . . . we would be able to use that to supplement the previously appropriated, OCO funds,\" Adelman said, and he noted that state funding for Proposition 1 is restricted to capital, while operating funds would come from other sources including Prop C.

Why it matters: Committee members emphasized expanding residential and step‑down housing to reduce returns to the streets after treatment. Member Friedenbach said the expansion of residential care and step‑down housing is \"so badly needed,\" and argued that stable housing is essential for people recovering from substance use disorders. Public commenters told the committee that service gaps and delays still leave some families and individuals without needed access to care and shelter.

What the committee recommended and voted on: Committee staff summarized the liaison recommendation as asking the mayor and the Board of Supervisors to accept DPH’s proposed budget for both fiscal years. Member Walton moved the recommendation, Member Haddix seconded, and the committee then held public comment before taking a roll‑call vote. The motion passed by roll call; recorded yes votes included Vice Chair D'Antonio, Member Friedenbach, Member Haddix, Member Schifrin, Member Walton and Chair Williams. Member Jackson was noted as recused and absent for the item; several other members were absent or recused per the roll call.

Context and next steps: Adelman told the committee the Geary Stabilization Unit — funded with Prop C and referenced during the discussion — is soft‑launching services on a Monday shortly after the meeting. He said one‑time OCO acquisition funds appropriated in prior budgets remain available to move projects from scoping to development, and that state capital awards would help supplement those funds. The committee’s recommendation is advisory; implementation depends on the mayor and Board of Supervisors and on departmental contracting and capital schedules.

The committee then proceeded to later budget items on shelter, hygiene and housing.","The Our City, Our Home Oversight Committee on April 24 recommended that the mayor and Board of Supervisors fully fund all mental‑health programs at the levels proposed by the Department of Public Health for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6580818,"OCO committee backs $900K–$1M to expand hotel vouchers for families, including pregnant and postpartum people",1164,1833000,2997000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3113422-9ac717cd6894a0b4f597039aac6eaac9&start=1833&end=2997","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3113422-9ac717cd6894a0b4f597039aac6eaac9/thumbnail_1833000.jpg","/articles/6580818/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/OCO-committee-backs-900K1M-to-expand-hotel-vouchers-for-families-including-pregnant-and-postpartum-people","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6580818-f541548db5820d8d0925e015bcda1ab8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147488&Signature=e8IbegusP5wgVEx~Vipwx-0ihvkzXvEuueXK4f6MnbVrtgmAs6SblXqdS0FYHYQM7sjAPMxjidPi-a0s-t4SO~kON0BqiuTe4CPDn4--0KEDH-Qt8-UHp42qliQmEdiiKurI3XiEAiRZb6ZfDPBPgj2-p4GthAsx-Iv7tBTKOHM1KWfiChU1auSxrMZLwTLKNkriiNTBKHMEWxMH~H9eLH2zSy0Kaj26QMsYTclX~-wZE2I57AHDkXk8KtRzqa7jblomzyC2uFgxCyeZ9NRJyrw7R0Qxm07DnBVQPRakhzcqnhP5ydsOiyyqDbpsP2kL2PNXHdcJmTfNfjjcjI-ozg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Our City, Our Home Oversight Committee voted April 24 to recommend that the mayor and Board of Supervisors fully fund shelter and hygiene programs at the levels proposed by the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH), and to leverage projected surplus funds in that service area to expand hotel voucher capacity for families.

Specifically, the committee recommended leveraging between $900,000 and $1,000,000 of projected surplus shelter funding to expand hotel vouchers to serve as many homeless families as possible — or approximately 40 families per year — prioritizing families with dependents and pregnant and postpartum people. Member Friedenbach, who introduced the proposal, said the measure responds to a large shelter wait list and to requests from the Homeless Emergency Service Providers Association (HESPA). \"As of yesterday, we had 270 families on the shelter wait list,\" Friedenbach said during discussion.

Discussion and concerns: Committee members debated whether to prioritize a fixed dollar amount or a target number of families. Some members favored specifying the amount to preserve flexibility for providers to extend stays when needed; others favored a target family count to emphasize outcomes. The final language used both elements: the identified dollar range and an approximate family target, with the committee adding wording to prioritize pregnant and postpartum people and families with dependents. Member Walton argued fund‑focused flexibility helps avoid truncating necessary stays for individual families.

Public testimony: Several community providers and people with lived experience urged approval. Megan Rohr of Compass Family Services and other HESPA representatives emphasized voucher numbers and extensions, noting that \"extensions are available to anyone who is a family as long as they're meeting with their caseworker during their weekly meeting.\" Speakers from Jelani House and Homeless Prenatal Program described how extended subsidies can prevent families from returning to the streets.

Vote and next steps: The amended motion — to leverage $900,000–$1,000,000 to expand hotel vouchers and serve approximately 40 families per year, prioritizing families with dependents and pregnant or postpartum people — was moved by Member Friedenbach and seconded by Member Haddix. Vice Chair D'Antonio recused from the item; the motion passed by roll call (yes votes recorded from Member Friedenbach, Member Haddix, Member Schifrin, Member Walton and Chair Williams, among others recorded on the roll call). The committee recommended the mayor and board accept the funding direction; implementation and exact voucher counts will depend on HSH contracting, hotel availability and voucher costs.","The committee recommended leveraging a projected $900,000–$1,000,000 surplus in the shelter and hygiene service area to expand hotel vouchers, targeting approximately 40 families (about 10 rooms nightly) and prioritizing families with dependents and pregnant/postpartum people; the motion passed by roll call.","actionData","errors"]
