This weekend San Francisco Mayor London Breed unveiled a proposed budget that includes pulling $120 million dollars from law enforcement agencies and putting it into programs that support the city’s largely underserved Black community.
Breed’s proposal would direct 60% of the funds to mental health, wellness and homelessness initiatives in the Black community, 35% would support education, youth development and economic opportunities and 5% would go toward developing a plan to replace police officers with social workers as the main responders to noncriminal calls involving the homeless and mentally ill. The specific spending details of the plan are still unclear.
