Homelessness is personal for me. I observed my mother's struggle with mental illness, and she ultimately spent much of her life in institutional settings like Care Homes, shelters, and hospitals. My desire to ensure better outcomes for people like my mother drives everything I do to help the unhoused in San Francisco.

On the Board of Supervisors, I have:

• Authored legislation for San Francisco to implement housing conservatorships for unhoused individuals suffering from severe mental illness and substance use disorder and pushed for expansion of the City’s use of its existing conservatorship tools.

• Campaigned for Proposition C and championed budget investments to significantly expand housing opportunities for homeless individuals and families.

• Authored legislation to require the City to provide shelter for any unhoused person willing to accept a safe exit from the street.

• Championed Street Crisis Response Teams to provide alternative non-police response for individuals suffering from mental health crises.

• Convened and Co-Chaired the 2019 Methamphetamine Task Force to propose improvements to City response to rising meth use and overdoses.

• Supported drug sobering centers to provide alternatives to emergency room, jail or the street for individuals suffering from drug intoxication.
