Part of San Francisco Mayor London Breed budget plan is to continue pouring millions of dollars into community ambassadors like two who are part of an all-female team working to help those in the streets.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Part of San Francisco Mayor London Breed budget plan includes a goal of hiring 200 more police officers over the next two years.One of those programs —— recently added a new all-female team dressed in pink. They use their personal experiences to try and make a difference on the streets.
"I know how they feel and it makes me want to help them because I want them to do good too," Ignacio explained. She spent years in jail and relocated to San Francisco from Hawaii to join a halfway house. The mother of three and grandmother of ten says this experience helps her each day to connect to others on the street.
But there's nothing the Love Team can't do that another Urban Alchemy team could, Smith says, racing to help a man who had fallen out of a wheelchair. Smith spent 15 years on the streets of San Francisco and in and out of jail. She says she uses this to connect with the very people who are in shoes she once stood in.
