Care Not Cash in San Francisco
Please sign the petition to protect Care Not Cash: http://www.resetsanfrancisco.org/petition/sf-sign-petition-protect-care-not-cash Care Not Cash is Working. A program with a track record of success in helping the homeless, Care Not Cash is being jeopardized by a measure the San Francisco Board of Supervisors have placed on this November's ballot. Care Not Cash has helped over 3,400 homeless transition off the street into permanent housing since its implementation in 2004. The program reduces the City's cash payments from $422 to $59, but uses the difference to provide shelter beds and other services such as counseling and drug treatment for the homeless. A measure recently passed by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors threatens to remove housing from the services the program offers, boosting cash payments back to pre-Care Not Cash levels. "There can be many things on the street that can be money not well spent..." says Marvin, who has been homeless in San Francisco for the past 14 years. His sentiment is mirrored by the many other homeless people we interviewed about the proposed revision to the Care Not Cash program. Indeed, a $400 General Assistance monthly payment is free money to spend on drugs and alcohol. "They get it, they blow it... it seemed like you were caught in a cycle, a repetitive, closed system," says Anthony, a homeless man with the voice of a radio host. Care Not Cash seeks to mitigate this problem by providing services and housing for the homeless. "I have my room because of Care Not Cash... It's really working for me," and "It was excellent!" are quotes that seem to summarize the sentiments of the homeless we interviewed. The homeless in our city need the care and services the current program provides.
