"There is no place for us to go, and we didn't do anything wrong. We are just trying to get our stuff together. We are not in a shelter or anything, but we are taking care of ourselves so,"
"I have a bunch of moms and some single dads that were not counted in May and they don't have the very limited things like a copy of a ticket or a mechanical receipt on their vehicle, but they do have enrollment in SFUSD of their children and the city is saying no, that is not good enough - that doesn't prove that you are actually inside the vehicle sleeping,"
"Yes, we moved in the first family last Friday and they were able to get successfully housed, and then we are going to do another one this coming up Friday and once we get everything moving we are going to try to do multiple families per week,"
"If they sign an agreement that they are open to doing this, they receive a thousand-dollar check, then the case worker starts working with them to find housing,"
San Francisco will begin towing RVs parked on public streets for more than two hours starting Saturday. City workers identified 489 RVs in May that automatically qualify for a six-month extension from the two-hour move requirement. Many RV residents not included in the May count have appealed and seek to be added. The city requires limited proof to grant extensions and reportedly will not accept SFUSD enrollment alone as proof of sleeping in the vehicle. The city is locating housing and has moved one family into housing, plans multiple placements per week, and offers $3,000–$6,000 buyouts plus a $1,000 upfront check tied to casework support.
