San Francisco is moving forward with a policy that will prohibit unhoused individuals from living in RVs by implementing strict parking limits. The initiative aims to address the needs of at least 400 recreational vehicles occupied by families and individuals who lack affordable housing. While officials believe this move will promote indoor stability, critics argue that it may displace people without providing sufficient alternative housing options. There are concerns over the adequacy of the proposed permit program aimed at helping RV residents find housing support. Additional funding is only expected to assist 65 households.
"We absolutely want to serve those families, those who are in crisis across San Francisco. We feel the responsibility to help them get to a stable solution. And at the same time, we want to make sure that that stability is somewhere indoors and not exposed in the public roadway."
"I think that there's going to be people who lose their RVs. I think there's going to be people who are able to get into shelter, but at the expense of people who are left without options."
