A conflict has emerged at the Board of Supervisors regarding a potential replacement for Christin Evans on the Homeless Oversight Commission. Thomas Rocca, a real estate investor, applied for the seat, which is intended for a homeless service provider or advocate. Evans, a key supporter of Prop. C, which guarantees funding for permanent affordable housing, opposes Mayor Daniel Lurie's plan to redirect housing funds for temporary shelters. Recent rallies against this proposal have garnered significant public support, emphasizing the importance of maintaining dedicated funding for long-term solutions.
Christin Evans plays a critical role in building trust between unhoused people, service providers, and city agencies, highlighting the essential connection between these groups.
Prop. C, which raised taxes on the city's largest corporations, garnered 61 percent of the vote and mandates that half of the collected revenue be allocated to permanently affordable housing.
More than 5,000 individuals, including 1,700 children, have found life-changing housing as a direct result of the resources generated by Prop. C, demonstrating its significant impact.
Mayor Daniel Lurie intends to redirect funds earmarked for permanent affordable housing to create temporary shelters, while Evans staunchly opposes this approach, emphasizing a need for lasting solutions.
