San Francisco Mayor London Breed signed a $14.6 billion budget at City Hall on Wednesday, emphasizing the need for economic recovery and fiscal accountability.
Through the approved budget, the city plans to cut unsheltered homelessness in half in five years and bolster funding for police, education and more.
One of Breed's major goals was to rebuild the San Francisco Police Department, which has seen staffing levels decline in recent years. The budget makes room for 220 more officers over the next two years and puts more resources toward alternatives to policing, according to a news release from the mayor's office.
The funding also includes staffing positions to"ensure the city has the capacity to execute the ambitious five-year plan," the mayor's office said. "You know, it's been a really difficult couple of years," Breed said."More recently, I've been out in the community meeting with businesses, talking to people and reminding the public of who we are, San Francisco, because I think we can't forget what San Francisco has done in the past."
The budget also calls for waiving city fees for new small businesses the first year they open as an incentive.
