Another Reason To Laugh At San Francisco

From the san Francisco Chronicle: They may be two of San Franciscans’ favorite pastimes: complaining about homeless people and finding the newest, hippest food truck.
The ever-creative Bevan Dufty has found an unlikely nexus between the two in his latest offbeat effort to get homeless people off the streets.
The mayor’s director of HOPE (housing opportunities, partnership and engagement) hopes to get a soul food truck on the streets of the Tenderloin soon that will be staffed by homeless people and get healthy food to those living on the streets or in supportive housing.
He’s envisioning starting with one truck staffed by 12 to 14 homeless people who have access to a city-owned industrial kitchen. With help, they’ll prepare soul food and distribute it five days a week at lunch and dinner throughout the Tenderloin.
He’s thinking tables, music — a veritable block party that gets supportive housing residents out of their tiny rooms for a sense of community. And in a neighborhood populated with corner liquor stores and fast food outlets, it’ll give residents a better culinary option.
“It’s a neighborhood where a lot of people are living in supportive housing,” he said. “They don’t have kitchen facilities so their food options are limited, and those limited food options are undermining people’s health.”
Dufty isn’t sure how he’ll pay for it, though federal McKinney funds for employment programs for homeless people may be an option. There’s also no indication of just when the truck will start rolling, but soon.  http://blog.sfgate.com/cityinsider/2012/09/01/city-halls-latest-plan-to-tackle-homelessness-food-trucks/
Of course, no one is funding this stupid program but I am sure the Obama administration will find a way to fund this.
