Board approves ordinance requiring regular street‑team reports to Supervisors
Summary
Supervisor Preston introduced and the board passed on first reading an ordinance requiring regular reporting to the Board from Emergency Management, HSH, Public Health and Fire on street‑team operations, aiming to improve transparency on outreach, offers and coordination.
Supervisor Preston presented an ordinance amending the administrative code to require regular reporting to the Board of Supervisors by Emergency Management, the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, the Department of Public Health and the Fire Department about the efficiency and effectiveness of the city's street teams. He drew attention to a first comprehensive street teams report included in the legislative file and asked colleagues and the public to review it.
Preston said the report and future dashboards will improve coordination and help policymakers understand gaps in shelter offers and outreach. The board passed the ordinance on first reading on the same‑house, same‑call vote.
