Massive cuts to staff and services in this year’s budget -- estimated at $26.5 million -- could put low-income seniors and others on the brink of homelessness and hunger.
“It’s absolutely devastating,” said Tessie Guillermo, President and CEO of ZeroDivide, a city nonprofit focused on economic inequality and technology. Guillermo noted the cuts are almost entirely to “services, which disproportionately serve poor, immigrants and working uninsured.”
