US EditionSan Francisco Mayor Signs Reparations Fund With Potential $5M Payments, No Immediate Allocations
The ordinance creates a fund to follow the 2023 reparations plan, but no city money is allocated due to a $1 billion deficit, with $5 million payments proposed by the advisory committee.
- The San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a reparations fund on Tuesday, but officials say it has no immediate allocations, citing a $1 billion deficit.
- The San Francisco Reparations Plan 2023 recommended a $5 million proposed one-time payment to each eligible Black resident, citing urban renewal projects and decades of harms.
- The Board of Supervisors approved the measure 11-0, and the ordinance becomes effective 30 days after enactment, with administration assigned to the San Francisco Human Rights Commission.
- The city is not allocating money to the fund, which has no current allocations, and Lurie said he hopes private donors will help amid a $1 billion budget deficit and $400 million budget cuts.
- Outside analyses and critics flagged high per-household cost estimates, with the Hoover Institution pegging costs at nearly $600,000 per taxpaying household and recalling Dream Keeper Initiative controversies and Evanston, Illinois as a precedent city.
