SF does $600 million to $800 million per year just through DHSH.
My guess is around 300 - 400 million through other depts (SF DPH etc). Behavioral health services alone run $500M and DPH is at $2.4 billion in their budget.
I'm excluding Fire / Police / MOCD / other services (there are a ton).
Rough numbers maybe $1B/year? for 8-12,000 folks?
This is both very large, but SF probably only spends around 8-10% of budget on this - the SF budget is very large.
- mardifoufs 5y agoThat's crazy! I know american cities handle services that are handled at a provincial level here in Canada but the budget for the city of Montreal is only around 6B$ in Canadian dollars. And that's with all the costs that come from snow removal and the never ending repairs our roads need due to winter damage.
