You can use the Give2SF program to donate your private $$ to San Francisco's public services. You direct your funds to different pieces of the government. E.g., you can direct some to "COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund", some to "Disaster Recovery Fund". Only one of these Funds is associated with a particular person, "Mayor's Fund for the Homeless."

Meanwhile, articles like "Scathing allegations against Mayor Breed and city in lawsuit filed over treatment of the homeless" remind us that our Mayor appreciates it when city workers illegally trash homeless peoples' stuff.

I'm visualizing the Venn diagram of people who want to use Give2SF to give to a fund for homeless people; intersected with the people who want our Mayor to have money to, uhm, handle the homeless people problem her way. If you want to visualize it, please see the attached file "non-intersecting-circles.jpg."

I gotta think that fund could get more funders if they took the "Mayor's" out of the name.
