Motion seeks count of City and County shelter beds ahead of possible split with County
City offices would report how many interim beds exist, who funds them, and what happens to County referrals if services separate.
City offices would tally all interim homeless beds in the region by funding source and assess how many County-referred clients use City beds, plus options for sharing beds if the systems separate. Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson introduced the motion, which instructs the City Administrative Officer, Housing Department, and Chief Legislative Analyst to report back.
What happens next
Referred to the Homelessness and Health Committee for consideration.
