Gigi Whitley, chief of finance and administration for the San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, presented the departments proposed budgets for fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27 at the Feb. 14 commission meeting, warning of near-term revenue volatility and structural funding cliffs over the next several years.
Whitley said the proposed budget decreases year over year by about 11% in FY 2025-26 and a further 9% in FY 2026-27, driven largely by the planned expiration or one-time nature of state and local grants and by revised revenue projections for the Our City Our Home (Prop C) fund. She described a roughly $80.5 million drop in the first year of the proposed two-year window tied to one-time funds, and said additional declines are expected in the following year as some state grants and one-time allocations end.
