"Hello, I would like to leave a message for Chairman Mendelson. My name is ____________, and I'm calling to urge the Chairman to fully fund the plan to end chronic homelessness and the recommendations of The Way Home.
I especially ask him to invest $4.5 million in Permanent Supportive Housing, Rapid re-housing, and targeted affordable housing.
I also support Fair Budget Coalition's recommendations and believe that any new resources should go to programs that end homelessness and poverty, rather than undoing the sales tax increase. Thank you."
