Surplus funds for the current year are allocated to one-time relief and recovery programs to support small businesses, arts and culture, youth and families, as well as vulnerable residents

San Francisco, California – Today London Mayor N.

The spending plan focuses on immediate relief and recovery support for those most affected by the pandemic, including protecting small businesses, preserving arts and cultural organizations, supporting youth and families, better security housing and overdose prevention.

That $ 125 million was a one-time surplus for the current fiscal year resulting from revenues, including property taxes, higher than what was forecast when the City’s budget was approved in October 2020.

“A year ago today we went to a Shelter in Place which, while saving lives, has had an impact on our city like I have never seen before,” said the Mayor of London Breed . “Small businesses have closed, our students have been out of classrooms for over a year, and people are worried about how they’re going to pay their rent. People continue to struggle with housing security and drug addiction, as well as our arts and culture. area, which is part of what makes San Francisco so unique, is suffering. As we work on our long-term recovery, we know we need this immediate support that will help get our city back on its feet. I appreciate Supervisor Haney’s work with us on this, and know that many board members are deeply invested in many of these priorities, and our goal now is to get this funding approved and distributed to those who need it as quickly as possible. “

“This spending plan will direct resources and support to those most affected during this crisis, including small businesses, families, tenants, artists and vulnerable residents,” said supervisor Matt Haney. “This program will keep small businesses open, fight the opioid epidemic, support our children and families, and ensure tenants can stay in their homes. It is crucial that surplus funds be put directly into the pockets of our suffering residents and small businesses and that our most pressing priorities for recovery be addressed. The residents of our city need all of us to work together and deliver real solutions. This is what we have done here. I am grateful to Mayor Breed for his leadership and partnership, and to all of my colleagues on the Supervisory Board. The next budget cycle will be one of the most important in our city’s history and we are committed to working together to help our city turn around and build back better. “
The legislation enabling this package will be voted on in today’s Committee on Budget and Appropriations, before being submitted to the entire supervisory board for a vote.
