Amid staffing concerns, San Francisco mayoral candidate and District 11 supervisor Ahsha Safaí is proposing to forgive $25,000 student loan debt for some first responders.In an effort to address struggles in hiring first responders such as police officers, nurses, and 911 dispatchers for the city, Safaí is proposing to start a new $1 million fund to forgive up to $25,000 in student loan debt for newly hired first responders after three years of service.
The best way to recruit people is by word of mouth. When you show people that they are taken care of, that will spread and they'll know we are elevating and prioritizing them,' he told the newspaper.The proposal comes as San Francisco's mayoral race continues to unfold with Safaí facing off with incumbent London Breed, former Mayor Mark Farrell, philanthropist Daniel Lurie and District 3 supervisor Aaron Peskin, as the first mayoral debate took place on Wednesday.
