The people who are getting contracts from the government to "address homelessness" have an incentive to make the problem worse: so they get more contracts.

- everforward 4y agoI'm open to that view, but I would politely request some kind of sources. I can't prove a negative, and a quick Google check isn't showing anything nefarious. From what I could find, a huge portion of that budget goes to partnered non-profits [1]. I added up the top 17 from the image, and it's $216.7m, or ~30% of the total Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing budget. I spot-checked the top 3 recipients of those funds, and they all have CharityNavigator scores over 95 (100, 100 and 97). That's not dispositive of your point, but heuristically, it seems on the up-and-up. 1: https://sfstandard.com/public-health/the-standard-top-25-san-franciscos-top-paid-homeless-nonprofits/ https://sfstandard.com/public-health/the-standard-top-25-san...
