New San Francisco campaign seeks to house 1,100 homeless
Read Original Source
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Homelessness and a housing crunch have come to define San Francisco as much as the Golden Gate Bridge or Alcatraz. Now a new public engagement campaign is urging residents to put aside their political differences and support finding homes for more than 1,000 homeless people. The “All In” campaign being launched Thursday has the support of baseball’s Giants and the NFL’s 49ers, as well as Airbnb, Google, Postmates and dozens of nonprofits and other businesses.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Daniel Lurie and Tipping Point Community are launching a San Francisco campaign to build public support for housing 1,100 homeless people by 2022.
Key Points:
- The “All In” campaign asks residents to move past political fights and back practical housing solutions.
- Lurie says he has already raised the $100 million he pledged for the effort and wants to place people in homes across the city.
- The campaign comes as homelessness in San Francisco has risen sharply, while housing costs and growth in high-paying jobs have put more pressure on renters.
- Airbnb is helping spread the campaign to its hosts and workers, showing support from major business leaders for the effort.
