What was promised
Metric: New shelter beds created
Target: 1,500 beds in 6 months
Deadline: July 2025
What actually happened
Result: 400 beds at 6-month mark (27% of target); goal abandoned
By the six-month mark, only 400 shelter beds had been created — 27% of the 1,500 target. Lurie's administration officially abandoned the 1,500-bed pledge in July 2025, saying the goal had been revised to 1,000 beds by year-end. An adviser later called the original six-month timeline a 'slip-up.' The SF Standard reported the mayor was 1,000 beds short of the original goal.

Verdict: Broken
This promise was clearly not met. The target was missed by a significant margin or the commitment was abandoned.
