San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie has signed an ordinance establishing a Reparations Fund, potentially offering up to $5 million to eligible Black residents for past discrimination. The ordinance, approved by the Board of Supervisors, creates a legal framework but allocates no city funds currently, citing a budget shortfall. Future support may come from private donations, with any taxpayer money requiring new legislation and mayoral approval. The fund is based on a 2023 report addressing restitution for Black individuals and descendants of enslaved people who have suffered harm in San Francisco.
