Mayor Breed urges shelter expansion, fast‑track contracting and pledges PG&E study as supervisors press for broader budget outreach
Summary
Mayor Breed used her Jan. 15 appearance before the Board of Supervisors to outline new shelter‑crisis ordinances, housing targets and to say the SFPUC will study PG&E bankruptcy impacts; supervisors pressed the mayor on expanding public outreach for the fiscal 2019–20 budget.
Mayor Breed addressed the Board of Supervisors on Jan. 15, saying her administration will prioritize homelessness and affordable housing and announcing two proposed ordinances aimed at speeding the city's procurement and siting of emergency shelters.
The mayor told the board she aims to "build a thousand shelter beds" and said the new "shelter crisis" ordinances streamline contracting with service providers, speed construction of shelters and relax conditional use requirements in specific zones for a limited period. She said one of the ordinances will "opt us into" Assemblymember Phil Ting’s statute referenced in the presentation (transcript: "AB 9 32"), which she said allows San Francisco to substitute an approval memo for an official building permit during a declared local shelter crisis.
