Virtual SF Budget Deep Dive with ConnectedSF: Can we address the shortfall?
Since 2017 the SF city budget has doubled. As of right now San Francisco has a $14.5B budget for a city/county of 800,000 people.
San Francisco leaders project am $800M shortfall for FYE June 2025. This is based upon the most optimistic scenarios. A more realistic analysis puts the coming year's shortfall at over $1B.
Mayor Breed will release her budget this week and will start a period of negotiations with the Board of Supervisors.
San Franciscans and taxpayers tend to be forgotten by politicians – but not by ConnectedSF. We are here to educate you on the inner-workings of the budget and analyze what the outcomes will be. A finance expert will dig in on the budget and help make sense of it, when it matters: BEFORE it is finalized. ConnectedSF exists to provide you information to make your views known before it is "reported on" and too late to have a say.
"Where Does the Money Go?" Part Two
Location Given Upon RSVP
Hosted by SOAR - D1, and co-hosted by D2Unite, Rebuild D6, Activ8SF, Advocates 11
Every day we read a new article about misuse, inefficiencies, and lack of results from government spending, particularly in the area of homelessness programs. For the second event in a multipart event series, budget-minded Supervisors will tell us what they plan to do to add accountability to the oversight of taxpayer money and rebuild public trust. We’ll also ask them for actionable steps residents can take to effect change.
Featuring guest speakers Supervisor Matt Dorsey, Supervisor Rafael Mandelman (Vice Chair, Budget & Finance Committee), and Supervisor Catherine Stefani (Vice Chair, Government Audit & Oversight Committee).
D6 Supervisor Candidate Forum
Rebuild D6 hosted a virtual supervisor candidate forum for the four folks running in district six: sitting Supervisor Matt Dorsey, Honey Mahogany, Cherelle Jackson, and Ms, Billie Cooper. Unfortunately not everyone could prioritize a community conversation, so only three ended up attending, but we are so grateful for the leaders who did show up and create a constructive conversation around solutions to our neighborhood’s many problems:
