A rally on Monday evening at City Hall featured mothers facing homelessness and nonprofit supporters advocating for a $66 million investment to end child homelessness. Organized by Faith in Action and the Coalition on Homelessness, the rally highlighted a need for funding rental subsidies and housing support for approximately 2,000 families. Speakers emphasized the stark contrast between police funding and support for vulnerable families, criticizing the city's 90-day shelter policy that may evict families without stable housing.
"At the heart of Monday's rally was the city's 90-day shelter stay policy, which was reinstated this year, limiting how long families can remain in shelters."
"Why is it so easy to give $90 million to the police, but not to families?" said Miguel Carrera, criticizing the city's funding priorities for police over homelessness.
