San Francisco's Push for a $390 Million Public Health Bond

Enhancing Public Health in San Francisco

Hundreds of people, including San Francisco's mayor, current and former supervisors, health care workers, and older adults from the Asian American and Pacific Islander community stood side by side at Portsmouth Square in Chinatown on Wednesday to advocate for a $390 million public health bond on the November ballot.

If passed by San Francisco voters on Nov. 5, Proposition B would pour money into restoring infrastructure of public health care facilities, renovating public spaces, improving street safety conditions, and acquiring new sites for homeless shelters.

The bulk of the funding, approximately $205.1 million, would go toward expanding and repairing the Chinatown Public Health Center, Laguna Honda Hospital and Rehabilitation Center, Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, and San Francisco City Clinic.
