in san francisco "wellfare" dollars are being spent enabling drug use and likey spent on drugs. The wellfare im talking about is not TANF money/fedgov wellfare but the project homekey hotels and the CAAP benefits program. Project homekey hotels are a great idea IMO, except that they didn't screen homeless tenants for drug use, and lots of tenants turned their rooms into drug dens, completely destroyed the rooms or entire hotels, and now the city is on the hook for a low 10s of millions of dollar amount to various private hotel owners for property destruction. Homekey is a statewide program in CA, not SF specific, and these issues happen all over the state. CAAP (https://www.sfhsa.org/services/financial-assistance/county-a...) is a program where the city and county of san francisco give 687 dollars a month in cash to low income housed and/or homeless people. Lots of the money goes to elderly chinese folks in chinatown and helps them make rent and pay for food, lots of money from this program also goes to drug addicted homeless or SRO residents in the tenderloin and gets spent on meth and fent the day the cash is sent. The open air drug markets are significantly busier on days that the cash is disbursed and you can see empty evelopes for distribution all over the neighborhood.
