✅ Housing, Homeless & Everything In Between

sf.citi kicked off our Candidate Conversation series with District 4 supervisor candidate Joel Engardio and District 6 supervisor candidate Honey Mahogany. We were joined by sf.citi members AT&T, Comcast, Okta, Meta, Microsoft, Twitter, Verizon, and more.

In Joel and Honey’s conversations with sf.citi members, each candidate detailed their campaign platforms and how they plan to address the City’s most pressing issues. Each candidate focused on improving public safety, revitalizing downtown, building more housing, and addressing the opioid crisis. The candidates recognized the difficult task at hand to improve the City, but they each emphasized a belief that San Francisco is worth fixing and that its best days are ahead.

In the wake of Governor Newsom’s decision to veto Senate Bill 57, which would have legalized safe consumption sites at the state level, San Francisco officials announced a plan to support a nonprofit-run safe consumption site in the City. Despite a ban on Safe consumption sites at a federal level under the Controlled Substances Act, the federal government is expected to release guidelines about operating consumption sites as part of a settlement in a Philadelphia case. With promising news expected from the federal level and two overdose prevention models to study in Philadelphia and New York City, San Francisco leaders believe that a safe consumption site can successfully work in the City.
