San Francisco NGO pledges $100 million to fight homelessness

‘A poverty-fighting non-profit organization has pledged to raise $100 million to reduce “chronic homelessness” in San Francisco by half over the next five years, saying it’s “unacceptable” that thousands are living on the streets in such a prosperous region.
Tipping Point Community, the San Francisco-based organization, said it will use the money to create new housing units, improve aid to vulnerable groups, such as people with mental illness, and enhance the capacity of the public sector.
