San Francisco supervisors recently tabled a proposal that would have put the formation of an oversight body on the city ballot. This body would have overseen the city’s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. Sam Lew from the Coalition on Homelessness explains the rationale for such an entity.

“It’s one of the largest departments with no oversight. And so what we’re really asking for is that there is accountability.” — Sam Lew, Coalition on Homelessness
