The city kept over $1.5 million in opioid settlement funds through FY 2038-39 for homeless services, with expansion funded by outside grants at no added general fund cost.
Unhoused residents, businesses, and residents who use public spaces all stand to gain if the sharpened plan delivers faster treatment and safer streets.
Some residents testified that expanded services and unregulated nonprofits could attract more homelessness and strain public safety.
