In San Francisco, a significant push for accountability in homeless services funding has emerged, with various public figures and entities advocating for rigorous audits and the reevaluation of contracts with non-profits accused of mismanagement and corruption. Ahsha Safai highlighted his role in initiating mandatory audits of homeless services, which voters overwhelmingly approved 18 months ago. The Marina Times called on Mayor London Breed to audit every homeless non-profit and specifically to revoke the $34 million grant from HomeRiseSF, labeling them as 'corrupt grifters' and demanding the resignation of its executives. Adam Nathan raised concerns about corruption scandals involving city department heads and non-profits with substantial city contracts over the past 5 years. Calls for immediate action included auditing non-profits from day one, as echoed by Union Street SF and Twolfrecovery, who also urged to pull contracts from HomeRiseSF.
San Francisco has to stop the corruption and stop the fraud from bad non profits who are supposed to be helping the homeless who instead, enrich themselves. Pull the contracts from @HomeRiseSF. @LondonBreed @DanielLurie @MarkFarrellSF @Ahsha_Safai https://t.co/0iP4f982sC
cc: @MarkFarrellSF make sure you audit the heck out of the non profits day 1 https://t.co/ENMSjYZ0Ia
How did San Francisco's government get so caught up in corruption scandals? From city department heads to non profits that have huge contracts with the city. Let's dig in and look at the past 5 years. 🧵
Mayor @LondonBreed — you need to audit EVERY SINGLE HOMELESS “NONPROFIT.” And you need to take the $34 million @SF_HSH grant away from the corrupt grifters at @HomeRiseSF NOW. All their contracts must be canceled. All their executes must resign. There must be consequences. https://t.co/Hg5JSbNGXN
Let’s be clear - 18 months ago I led the effort to put in front of the voters mandatory audits of homeless services - it passed overwhelmingly- the work is starting to pay off. As mayor I will aggressively continue this work and get rid of the bad actors. https://t.co/fvNbTeQz91
