"We have been the most underserved district for decades, underresourced and underrepresented, so any cuts are devastating to our district."

How to keep going and growing during a tough city budget cycle was the subject of a community meeting on Monday evening.

The San Francisco People’s Budget Coalition, joined by District 11 Supervisor Chyanne Chen and her staff, along with representatives from many nonprofit organizations, filled the Excelsior’s Family Connections Center for a budget town hall.

Over 30 attendees heard a presentation from the coalition’s Anya Worley-Ziegmann on the challenges residents and community organizations will face over the nearly $1 billion city budget deficit, alongside ways to protect various programs and resources before the June 1 deadline.
