The San Francisco County government meeting on July 4, 2025, focused on the ongoing partnership with the Felton Institute as a fiscal sponsor for various programs. A key point of discussion was the decision to continue working with Felton Institute despite questions about whether other organizations could provide similar or better services.

One supervisor raised concerns about the lack of exploration into alternative agencies that might fulfill the role more effectively. In response, it was clarified that the department already had established grant agreements with Felton Institute, which has been managing its programs competently.

Additionally, it was noted that two programs operated by Felton Institute are nearing completion. The Safe Sleep program at Jennings Street is set to close by June 30, 2025, and another site is expected to wind down by the end of the calendar year.

This meeting highlighted the ongoing reliance on established partnerships while also addressing the need for potential reassessment of service providers in the future. The discussions reflect a commitment to ensuring effective program management while remaining open to exploring other options.
