San Francisco to overhaul $500M in homelessness contracts in sweeping nonprofit clampdown

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie is launching a reset of the city’s costly homelessness response system — promising no more blank checks for organizations receiving public funds in a statement released Monday. The Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing plans to transition its contracts — amounting to roughly $500 million annually, according to Lurie’s office — to an “outcomes-based” model that ties funding to an organization’s success in actually helping homeless people and residents at large. 5 Mayor Daniel Lurie speaks during a public safety and violence prevention event on April 9, 2026.
