Supervisor Alan Wong Hears Us Loud and Clear

His Vision for His Hometown is Our Vision Too
  • Create cleaner, safer streets–because for San Francisco to thrive, public safety must be our top priority.
    • Fully fund and staff the Police Department with at least 2,100 officers so they can successfully enforce existing laws, and end open-air drug dealing and brazen retail theft. The Department is currently 500 officers short of its recommended staffing levels. That’s unacceptable.
    • Focus police recruitment on officers with neighborhood ties as well as bilingual officers who are culturally attuned to our neighborhoods, to ensure the force reflects the city it serves.
    • Increase the civilianization of police desk jobs so more officers can move from the office to patrol, while hiring professional staff who are knowledgeable and effective to fill these roles.
    • Support proven strategies that reduce officer-involved shootings–inlcluding strong civilian oversight and accountability, clear use-of-force standards, and independent investigations when force is used.
    • Advocate for police training that emphasizes de-escalation, crisis response, and alternatives to armed police responses, especially for mental-health and nonviolent situations.
    • Strengthen visible ambassador and outreach programs so residents, workers, and visitors feel safe coming to Downtown and our neighborhoods.
    • Support traffic safety policies with thoughtful planning, preventative measures, and better street design to protect pedestrians.
  • Build more housing at all income levels so young people, working families, and seniors can stay in San Francisco
    • Prioritize more affordable housing for low and middle-income families, workforce housing for teachers and first responders, and veteran and senior housing.
    • Make it easier to build ADUs and support small and mid-sized multifamily projects that fit with neighborhoods.
    • Streamline the permitting process and enforce clear timelines. Predictability in the process reduces costs and accelerates home construction.
    • Focus density along transit corridors, commercial streets, and underutilized sites.
    • Protect rent control, fund eviction defense and right-to-counsel, and ensure strong anti-displacement protections alongside any new development.
  • Tackle homelessness and drug addiction with housing, treatment, and accountability, to move people from the streets into stable, long-term homes
    • Significantly expand permanent supportive housing, interim housing, and sober housing options, while improving placement speed so people are not left cycling between the streets, emergency rooms, and jail.
    • Address root causes of homelessness by expanding affordable housing, protecting tenants from displacement, and investing in mental health and substance abuse treatment.
    • Strengthen behavioral health services and coordination, by adding stabilization beds, expanding clinically-staffed outreach teams, and improving coordination between the Department of Public Health, Human Services, and law enforcement.
    • Advance a balanced approach to open-air drug use that combines compassion and harm reduction—including medically assisted treatment, supervised consumption, outreach, and recovery support—with clear and consistent enforcement against public disorder and drug dealing.
    • Expand city-supported clinics and treatment programs to fill gaps left by federal cuts.
    • Increase accountability and measurable outcomes by setting transparent benchmarks for shelter and housing placements, retention rates, and reductions in unsheltered homelessness, and aligning funding with programs that deliver results.
  • Cut red tape to make City Hall work better for small businesses
    • Streamline and consolidate the permitting process, improve cross-departmental coordination, and reduce unnecessary delays–to help entrepreneurs navigate City departments so small businesses can start and scale more easily.
    • Work closely with neighbors to solicit feedback and identify burdensome and outdated regulations, processes, and procedures for reform or elimination.
    • Prioritize first-time, immigrant, and family-owned businesses in ground-floor retail spaces.
    • Provide targeted financial assistance, facade improvement grants, and technical support to help small businesses recover, grow, and fill empty storefronts.
  • Create good, family-sustaining jobs so San Franciscans can build generational wealth
    • Fight for good jobs with local hiring, prevailing wages, and strong workforce standards, and partner with community colleges to support career technical education and vocational and career track programs to help underserved communities gain access to stable and long-term jobs.
    • Work to raise labor standards and protect worker and union rights.
    • Support growth of both the innovation sector and the care economy. San Francisco should continue leading in clean energy, life sciences, and technology, while also recognizing that child care, healthcare, and elder care are essential economic drivers.
    • Ensure new housing construction projects uphold high labor standards, prioritize local hire, and expand apprenticeships pathways so more San Franciscans can enter the skilled trades.
  • Make San Francisco friendlier to children, students, families, and seniors
    • Invest in affordable childcare and support the Mayor’s efforts to deliver universal childcare to San Francisco.
    • Expand access to affordable, high-quality early learning, and strengthen neighborhood public schools with equitable funding, language access, and student support.
    • Work with SFUSD and City College to strengthen career-technical education, while addressing housing, food, and transit stability so students can focus on learning.
    • Work with City College to expand the Free City College program to cover fees outside of tuition, which will reduce the cost burden on students and support increased enrollment. And work to enshrine free City College permanently in the City Charter.
  • Help Downtown continue to revitalize and evolve
    • Accelerate conversions of underutilized office buildings into housing, supporting arts, nightlife and cultural programming, to diversity Downtown beyond traditional office use. A mixed-use neighborhood, with residents, entertainment, and retail, will create sustained activity beyond the traditional workday.
    • Focus on economic growth sectors that anchor long-term stability, like technology, hospitality, and conventions.
    • Strengthen transit, support tourism, and streamline approvals for major projects to help bring jobs and investment back to the urban core.
  • Improve transportation and infrastructure to make it easier and more affordable to get around the city we love
    • Prioritize making public transit safer, cleaner, more reliable, and on-time.
    • Expand traffic safety enforcement by the Police Department, especially in school zones.
    • Prevent SFMTA decisions that don’t have community buy-in
    • Invest in critical street safety improvements to make it easier for pedestrians to walk through the city safely.
    • Ensure MUNI uses its existing resources and budget efficiently.
    • Support biking to work to reduce traffic congestion on city streets.
    • Work to increase parking options without affecting other modes of transit.
    • Reopen the Great Highway on weekdays. This is an important artery for traffic, and closing it 24 hours a day has led to traffic being rerouted through our neighborhoods and an increase in pedestrian injury.
  • Defend our San Francisco values–protecting immigrants, underserved people, the LGBTQ+ community, and more
    • Ensure the City does not participate in federal immigration raids, detainers, or holds that lack judicial authorization, that we share no sensitive personal information or data with ICE, and that we engage in no cooperation that jeopardizes the safety or trust of our immigrant communities, including in schools, hospitals, and workplaces.
    • Enforce equity standards in public health programs, collecting disaggregated data to identify disparities and center the voices of diverse patients and frontline healthcare workers.
    • Defend DEI policies from federal cuts and support ordinances and budget decisions that protect access to gender-affirming care and uphold nondiscrimination standards in City-funded healthcare.
    • Defend San Francisco’s Sanctuary City laws and push back against any efforts to weaken them. And expand access to legal defense, know-your-rights education, and culturally competent services for immigrant families.
  • Make government more accessible, transparent, and efficient for everyday San Franciscans
    • Strengthen government oversight, require performance audits and clear public reporting on contracts and spending, and ensure there are consequences when rules are broken. We must ensure taxpayer dollars are delivering the results we pay for.
    • Support stronger whistleblower projections so City workers can safely report waste or corruption.
    • Alan has dedicated half of his office staff to constituent services. Because every Sunset resident deserves a real voice at City hall–particularly folks who don’t have time to organize but whose lives are deeply affected by City decisions.
    • If you have a concern–a broken streetlight, a safety concern, a permit issue, or you’ve hit a wall with a City agency–Alan’s office is here to help, to ensure the right people are listening and right agencies follow through.
