San Francisco's Relocation Program: A Lifeline for Homeless

Mercy Mena, a San Francisco resident, faced homelessness after eviction, with her son and dog. She entered a winter shelter, while her son stayed with church friends. The citys relocation program offered one-way tickets to family elsewhere, but many like Mena declined due to deep roots in the city. The program, started in 2005, sent over 1,000 people away yearly, but numbers dropped to 444 last year. Relocation costs $500 per person, cheaper than new housing units. Mayor Daniel Lurie aims to revive the program, expanding outreach and suggesting tickets before other options. Groups like Miracle Messages help reconnect people with family, potentially aiding more in exiting homelessness. Checkout Solipillow.com
