A 'No on Prop 27' group is running a new ad featuring a domestic violence shelter employee who claims '90% of the money goes to out of state corporations who wrote it.' 'If we don't have a secure pot of funds, a sustainable pot of funds to support homeless services, we're never going to end the cycle of homelessness.'īut some homeless advocates disagree. 'Prop 27 builds in funding that is long term and really matches the size of the crisis that we're facing,' Sammie Rayner, the group's chief operating officer, told ABC7 News. That's why Community Forward in San Francisco - which is in the process of building a new shelter for unhouse women - is supporting it. It's money that would go towards addressing homelessness and mental health issues.
Supporters of Prop 27 say the initiative would bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue for the state.
