On August 1, 2018, San Francisco Mayor London Breed signed the city’s budget for the next two fiscal years, pledging to invest in housing, street cleaning, and public safety, among other things.

Breed signed the $11 billion budget for the 2018–2019 and 2019–2020 fiscal years, after the Board of Supervisors approved it at their Tuesday meeting. “This budget will address our most pressing issues while also making a number of critical investments in our future,” Breed said. “What we see on our streets is unacceptable and these budget investments are a key step to ensuring that San Franciscans see and feel a difference in all of our neighborhoods.”
