Supervisor Rafael Mandelman on Wednesday, introduced a resolution that would add 2,000 new shelter or temporary housing beds in the next two years.
"The data clearly shows that the city's most cost-effective tools – such as hotel conversions for non-congregate shelter and leased apartments for housing – can bring thousands of people off the streets at a cost that the City can afford. Instead of continuing to manage homelessness, City Hall needs to end it," Nagel said.
According to federal data, 43% of San Francisco's homeless population lives in shelters or temporary housing.
