City Councilmembers ( led by the Mayor ), two County Supervisors ( Rich Desmond and Patrick Kennedy ), and the two of us as the measure proponents , co-chairs of the campaign , and signers of the ballot argument in favor of Measure O .
Even though we haven ’ t always agreed , we appreciate and want to thank Mayor Steinberg ’ s support of our inclusion in the 4x2x2 Committee . Mayor Steinberg provided valued policy input that led to portions of our original initiative , and his ongoing willingness to focus , engage and work with us on this vital issue is crucial to success for everyone .
Additionally , we want to thank Councilmembers Eric Guerra , Jeff Harris , Jay Schenirer and Sean Loloee for leading the charge to keep our measure moving forward . Also , we appreciate how multiple County Supervisors , led by Rich Desmond and Patrick Kennedy , stepped up to push conversations with the City .

With the business community sticking together , we ’ ve created an indomitable team to support and hold our local elected officials accountable in creating real solutions on homelessness . Solutions like shelter , compassionate enforcement , and tangible services . The result of this work is Measure O on the ballot and , more importantly , the City and the County back at the table working together to address this challenge . Our hope is for this agreement to be finished prior to the day that voters receive their ballots . That way voters know that they are voting on a plan that will work and understand which leaders stepped up to the plate when it mattered . It won ’ t be easy — but nothing worth doing ever is .
