Alex's can-do attitude to get this off the ground and help those that are society's most vulnerable, gives voice to those when their own is not loud. If we can open 2,000 doors, then there is no reason another 2,000 and more can't be opened. The public can no longer look to their left or right to see who else will do this, each individual member needs to look at themselves to be the catalyst for this concept of change for the betterment of humanity

As a San Francisco leader focused on housing as the solution to ending homelessness, I also know that an additional 2,000 resources for interim housing would have an ongoing impact on unhoused community members on their path to a more permanent home. Alex Tourk's "2,000 Open Doors" Initiative, if matched with permanent housing pathways, is a step in the right direction in moving San Francisco toward Functional Zero on homelessness.
