Stop the Revolving Door Report
In order to further its goal of promoting social welfare by educating the public regarding issues regarding the homeless, Our City Our Home provided a research and implementation Grant to The Coalition on Homelessness. The Grantee focused primarily on a needs assessment for the implementation of the new Ordinance which Our City Our Home had successfully promoted. The Grantee constructed and staffed the research project, developed a 200 question survey questionnaire, hired and trained peer researchers to administer the survey, and conducted 600 completed surveys. They tested the surveys and their results by conducting 14 focus groups. In September of 2020, the Grantee released the report of their findings, a 90 page, comprehensive document entitled "Stop the Revolving Door", which offered suggestions of new programs and new systems for dealing with the homeless situation in San Francisco. The Report was presented to the legislation-mandated "Our City Our Home Oversight Committee" and the press, the Mayor, and members of the Board of Supervisors. The Report was well received, and conceivably could be the basis for budget and program decisions made by the Board of Supervisors next fiscal year.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesMay 1, 2020 – Apr 30, 2021Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$50KLegal Support for Homeless Ordinance
In order to further the implementation of the Ordinance promoted by the organization, Our City Our Home retained counsel to assist the San Francisco City Attorney and to see that the needs and knowledge of the homeless were represented in the legal proceedings over the implementation of the Ordinance. Our City Our Home's legal counsel were of significant assistance in the successful proceedings at the trial court level, and Our City Our Home was granted Amicus status for the appeal trial at the Appellate Level. These legal efforts were successful throughout. The Appellate Court upheld the decision of the trial court, finding that the Our City Our Home Ordinance had been lawfully passed, and the California Supreme Court declined to review the decision of the Court of Appeal, clearing the way for the implementation of the Our City Our Home Ordinance.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesMay 1, 2020 – Apr 30, 2021Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$132K
