Mayor Lurie Signs Legislation to Address RV and Vehicular Homelessness, Restore Public Spaces in San Francisco

Mayor Daniel Lurie signed legislation to address RV and vehicular homelessness in San Francisco, aiming to enhance public spaces and provide housing solutions for affected families. The new law implements a citywide two-hour parking restriction for large vehicles while allocating $13 million for rapid rehousing subsidies and outreach initiatives. An interagency group will lead the implementation, ensuring that those actively seeking services are supported. Lurie highlighted the importance of providing safe, clean environments for families, and Supervisor Melgar described the law as a necessary, compassionate approach to stabilizing lives. Board of Supervisors President Rafael Mandelman noted the legislation's humane pathway for current RV residents while preventing new encampments.

This initiative is part of Lurie's broader Breaking the Cycle plan, which includes enhancing behavioral health services and launching a stabilization center. In May 2025, the city identified 501 large vehicles parked on its streets, underscoring the need for action. The legislation reflects a commitment to improving the quality of life for all San Franciscans.
