Kirk has a Master’s degree from USC and was working in the film industry, but his Bipolar disorder led to him living on the street. Because of Measure H, he’s now housed, receiving supportive services, and ready to get back to work. Stories like this give us hope. We’re about to vote on $460 million to create more success stories like Kirk’s.
We’re announcing our next year’s funding plan for Measure H, the quarter-cent sales tax approved by voters, aimed to end homelessness. We’re placing specific focus on getting people jobs, providing them with services, and working to prevent people from becoming homeless in the first place.
