Youth & Families

Child Care - I am committed to making sure that all residents who work in the city have access to affordable child care for their children who are under the age of 10. This will mean modest subsidies for lower-income families and requirements for larger employers to have either on-site child care or to pay into a pool for their employees. I would also like to encourage the creation of child care centers at key transit stations throughout the Bay Area.
These solutions won't solve the problem for everyone, but it will help many families who are struggling to make a living while raising their children. I intend to work with policy experts and service providers in the child care field as well as our Children and Families Commission to come up with the most sensible and cost-effective solutions available.

Youth Violence - Violence prevention is one of my top priorities and I will do everything in my power to help us unite as a city to address youth violence problems in every impacted neighborhood. We need a comprehensive set of solutions that will attack the violence problem from all angles. These solutions will include expansion of anti-recidivism programs in Juvenile Hall, support for Boys and Girls Clubs and after-school programs, and early gang intervention programs that have proven to be effective in other communities.

Additionally, we need to do a better job in recognizing the contributions of foster parents and providing adequate support for these non-traditional families.
