Mariana Salazar
City Council, District 1
As a city, we should be encouraging the private sector and foundations to play a bigger role in ending homelessness. When recalibrating the City’s Density Bonus Programs, the City should make sure increased fees-in-lieu for development continue to support Permanent Supportive Housing opportunities. I think it’s important for the City to review all of its homelessness contracts to make sure they all align in terms of the outcomes they should achieve and prioritize services that drive unsheltered people into permanent housing.
