JAMISON ROUNDTABLE WITH JEFF KOSITSKY, SF DEPT. OF HOMELESSNESS
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Please join David Jamison in welcoming Jeff Kositsky to the Roundtable. Mr. Kositsky joined Mayor Ed Lee’s newly created Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing as Director on July 1st, 2016 with a budget of at least $160 million, and nearly 200 staffers.
Jeff Kositsky is a nationally recognized leader in innovative homeless services and has over 20 years of experience managing nonprofit organizations in San Francisco. Since 2013, he has served as the executive director of the Hamilton Family Center. During his tenure, the organization expanded its rapid re-housing program and developed an innovative partnership with the San Francisco Unified School District to prevent and end homelessness among school children and their families. From 2001 to 2010, he was executive director of Community Housing Partnership, a nonprofit affordable housing developer in San Francisco. He has served on several nonprofit boards, including San Francisco’s Coalition on Homelessness and the Treasure Island Development Authority Board of Directors. Kositsky holds a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and International Relations from American University in Washington, D.C. and a Master’s degree in Public Affairs from the University of Texas.Â
“The city has all of these amazing programs that are really world-class,†Kositsky said. “To be able to bring all of those under the same department under a unified strategy to help really amplify Mayor Lee’s vision for addressing homelessness in San Francisco is an honor and an amazing opportunity.â€
The mayor’s new department comes as the city’s longtime struggle with homelessness shows little signs of improvement. Last year’s homeless count found 6,686 people with nowhere to live, a 3.8 percent uptick from the previous count two years before. City residents have expressed increasing frustration with burgeoning tent encampments, discarded needles and filthy sidewalks.
Lee has said he doesn’t think his new department can end homelessness, but he has pledged to get 8,000 people off the streets in his second term through better coordination of services.
LUNCHEON WILL BE SERVED.Â
