The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a sweeping set of ordinances on Tuesday, finalizing the city\u2019s $15.9 billion budget for the next two fiscal years. While Supervisor Connie Chan, chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, described the result as a \u201cbalanced proposal\u201d that protects housing investments, advocates say the measures will deepen hardship for low-income and immigrant communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the changes: controversial restrictions on RV parking; fee increases that could burden street vendors and working-class residents; amendments to Prop C rules that shift control over homelessness spending; and a philanthropic grant for immigration defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Citywide RV parking restrictions approved<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board passed Ordinance 250655<\/a> in a 9\u20132 vote, imposing a strict two-hour parking limit on large vehicles, including RVs, across the city. The new law affects hundreds of residents, many of them working-class Latino families, who rely on RVs as their only form of housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supervisor Myrna Melgar, who co-authored the measure, framed the ordinance as a response to years of system failures in housing outreach and safety enforcement. She described how families in her district were overlooked due to language barriers and were often forced to rent unsafe, unregulated RVs parked on city streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany of these families were just poor and didn\u2019t speak English and were newcomers to our country,\u201d Melgar said, adding that language barriers de-prioritized them in the city\u2019s shelter and housing services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melgar emphasized the environmental hazards posed by generators and gasoline storage in areas near dry vegetation and water sources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legislation includes several new mechanisms: $13 million over two years for rapid rehousing subsidies, a six-month renewable \u201crefuge permit\u201d for vehicle residents who follow sanitation and community guidelines a vehicle buyback program to help residents transition out of RV living, and coordination between agencies to monitor placements and recover street space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supervisor Shamann Walton, one of two dissenters alongside Jackie Fielder, denounced the measure as unrealistic and punitive. He cited the April closure of the Bayview Vehicle Triage Center at Candlestick Point \u2014 which cost $2.9 million annually to serve just 35 RVs \u2014 as evidence that even well-funded programs like Candlestick Point failed to transition residents into stable housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere was a failure to transfer folks from vehicles into homes,\u201d Walton said. \u201cNow, all of a sudden, those homes are available? I think not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He warned that without sufficient shelter capacity or clarity on implementation, the ordinance would simply displace people from the only homes they have while overlooking and de-prioritizing unhoused people living on the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a plan to criminalize people who don\u2019t have stable brick and mortar homes,\u201d he said. \u201cTo say someone living in a vehicle does not have a home is malicious when they have no other form of shelter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calling the plan \u201cunattainable,\u201d Walton urged the Board not to support mass evictions under the guise of public safety, especially when the units needed to house RV occupants don\u2019t yet exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supervisor Connie Chan, who supported the measure, acknowledged the controversy and said she would closely track implementation via monthly progress reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese guarantees do not mean that we should simply trust the process,\u201d Chan said. \u201cWe must continue to hold city departments accountable for an ongoing compassionate approach, results-driven solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She urged transparency and ongoing adjustments through the refuge permit system and short-term parking exemptions to prevent abrupt displacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget changes increase fees and reshape public programs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of a broader vote on budget-related \u201ctrailing legislation,\u201d the Board unanimously approved a restructuring and increase of a range of city fees. These included updates to health inspection charges, new fees for public toilet access and Rec and Park services, and changes to sidewalk use rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While permitted businesses will benefit from reduced bureaucracy, unpermitted vendors \u2014 many of them immigrant street sellers \u2014 still face enforcement with little clarity on pathways to compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chair of the Budget Committee, Supervisor Connie Chan, defended the fee measures as difficult but essential to meet projected revenue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo one wants to increase fees,\u201d she said. \u201cBut without these, the budget doesn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She emphasized that these adjustments, while not ideal, are necessary to balance the city\u2019s financial plan, and that each fee increase contributes to funding city services, including housing and enforcement programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes to Prop C raise transparency concerns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board amended how San Francisco administers Proposition C<\/a>, the voter-approved business tax that funds homelessness services. The revision temporarily lowers the threshold for reallocating Prop C funds, allowing up to $19 million in changes by a simple majority vote instead of a two-thirds vote through 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advocates warn the change will divert funds away from permanent supportive housing \u2014 the long-term solution for chronic homelessness \u2014 and into short-term shelter programs. The shift raises alarm for those who say it undercuts the original voter intent behind Prop C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supervisors Fielder, Walton, and Chyanne\u00a0Chen opposed the change, warning it could weaken accountability and erode democratic oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf collaboration means steamrolling local democracy, count me out,\u201d Fielder said, calling the measure a reversal of the checks and balances necessary to maintain the balance of governmental powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chan, who led budget negotiations, defended the compromise as a needed fix to avoid bureaucratic delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know that these amendments represented a balanced proposal,\u201d she said. \u201cInstead of holding up these sorely needed funds with a parliamentary debate, I want to see this fund spent now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The measure passed 8\u20133.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$3.4 million immigration defense grant approved<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a rare bright spot, the Board unanimously approved Item 15, accepting a $3.4 million philanthropic grant from the Crankstart Foundation for the Public Defender\u2019s Immigration Defense Unit. The funding will support three new attorneys and a legal assistant through 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supervisor Jackie Fielder welcomed the support but emphasized the city\u2019s dependence on philanthropy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis does not represent city funding to community immigration legal defense services,\u201d she said. \u201cIt represents a donation by a foundation for the public defender’s office \u2026 I support this, but these are two different things. City funding for immigration legal defense services was kept at a baseline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added that the need for ongoing public investment remains urgent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supervisors demand answers on ICE coordination<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supervisors Chen and Fielder introduced new measures to bolster immigrant protections and investigate potential law enforcement collaboration with ICE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chen introduced a resolution affirming due process rights and calling for clear SFPD and Sheriff protocols amid rising ICE activity and impersonation reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cICE operations have escalated over the past months,\u201d Chen said. \u201cIn addition to the escalation of detentions and deportation in the United States, there has been a massive spike in law enforcement impersonations in which non-federal agents pretend to be ICE operatives to spread fears, hate, and chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fielder announced a formal inquiry into SFPD and the Sheriff\u2019s Office following a San Francisco Standard investigation<\/a> that revealed that the departments shared license plate reader information with multiple federal agencies in violation of city and state sanctuary law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have questions on the cost of deploying SFPD officers and sheriffs to protests, surveillance of demonstrators, protocols for protecting protesters during interactions with ICE, and the steps, if any, that law enforcement takes to verify the identity of federal agents to thwart impersonators,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The July 15 votes marked the first full budget cycle under Mayor Lurie\u2019s administration. While some city officials call it a \u201cbalanced\u201d blueprint for recovery , critics argue the city\u2019s latest policies lean more toward law enforcement than investment, raising costs for vulnerable residents while promising limited relief, and reducing resources for the departments and organizations meant to support the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
