November 2024 Ballot Propositions Guide

Our November 2024 Ballot Propositions Guide is here!

With the 2024 election just a few weeks away, we are releasing our ballot proposition guide. As part of our core convictions, SFCHC leads through advocacy and policy work. We champion our values and the needs of our clients from city hall to the nation's capital. And on November 5, 2024, San Franciscans will be joining cities and communities throughout the nation as we vote in an election that will have a substantial impact across local, state, and federal policy. To ensure that our clients and community partners know where we stand on consequential issues affecting our state, we have released this voter guide. We encourage you to review our guide, conduct your own research on the issues amongst friends and colleagues, and most importantly—vote! We must all do our part to build the world that we want to see!

Proposition G: Rent Subsidies for Extremely Low-Income Residents

SFCHC Position: SUPPORT
Proposition G is a critical initiative for supporting extremely low-income residents, including seniors, families, and people with disabilities. Subsidized rent helps address housing insecurity, which is foundational for health outcomes. SFCHC strongly supports Proposition G to ensure stable housing as a public health priority.

Proposition E: Establish Task Force for Commission Review

SFCHC Position: SUPPORT
Proposition E provides a thoughtful approach to commission reform by establishing a task force for analysis and preserving community input. SFCHC supports this balanced approach to reform, ensuring public participation and safeguarding commissions that focus on health, housing, and community well-being.

Proposition 3: Removal of Anti-LGBTQ+ Marriage Language

SFCHC Position: SUPPORT
Proposition 3 seeks to remove outdated, discriminatory language from the state constitution. SFCHC supports this preventive and symbolic step to reinforce LGBTQ+ equality, contributing to a more inclusive California and preventing potential future discrimination.

Proposition 35: Health Care Tax

SFCHC Position: SUPPORT
Proposition 35 proposes a tax on high-earning healthcare providers, directing the funds to expand healthcare services in underserved areas. SFCHC supports this measure as it addresses gaps in healthcare access, thereby improving health equity for marginalized populations.
