The Coalition on Homelessness

ENDORSES THE FOLLOWING LOCAL PROPOSITIONS ON THE NOV. 6TH BALLOT

Proposition C

This is the Housing Trust fund which will generate revenue in excess of $1 Billion over a 30 year period. This revenue will help provide affordable housing. With the dissolution of redevelopment funds (San Francisco’s primary source of affordable housing dollars) we at the Coalition on Homelessness are confronted daily with the human impact of the housing crisis and see firsthand just how urgently this funding is needed.

Proposition E

This is the progressive revenue initiative. It will reform the way business taxes are assessed in San Francisco, relieving the unfair burden on small business and, instead, requiring that big businesses and wealthy corporations pay their fair share. It also establishes a very progressive business licensing fee that will exempt small businesses altogether and again place the bulk of the taxes on wealthy corporations.

The two propositions are closely linked

THE HOUSING TRUST FUND IN PROPOSITION C WILL BE FUNDED BY THE REVENUE GENERATED BY PROPOSITION

As you may know, the Coalition on Homelessness organizes homeless people to create permanent solutions to homelessness and poverty while protecting the human rights of those forced to remain on the streets.

Below is a platform to address homelessness in the Haight Ashbury; we are very hopeful you will sign.  Also included are the results from some research we did among destitute individuals who are residing outdoors in the Haight which informed the platform.

We are looking forward to publishing the results in our newspaper, the Street Sheet.  We will be publishing a list of those who are signing, those who are not signing, and of course, taking a lead from the League of Women Voters, a list of those who did not bother to respond!

That said we are completely confident you will respond and we are very much looking forward to your response!
