Former San Francisco Mayor Frank Jordan says despite Mayor London Breed pouring billions of dollars to try and fix the homeless crisis, conditions are not getting any better.
"I think you need mental health wards, you need group homes, and judge that will mandate 60-90 days of care, not just 72 hours and just put them out on the street," he said.
In the 90s, Jordan introduced the controversial Matrix Program, using police to crack down on the crimes that homeless people were committing. More than 20,000 citations were issued but critics then said Jordan's program did not provide alternatives for homeless people. Mayor Breed did not respond to the comments, but ABC7 News spoke to the SF Coalition on Homelessness.
"We tried it Franks' way. But it didn't work. It was an abject failure," Jennifer Friedenbach said. "When Jordan was mayor, we had way more homeless people than we had today. That didn't work. We tried it. It failed. Time to switch gears."
