KCBS Insider Phil Matier is away today.

We're seeing a rise in the rate of homeless individuals and families applying for aid and housing. The number rose from 9,936 to 15,334 last year.

While Mayor Breed shared a two-year budget proposal for new emergency shelter spots and housing units, the city is incapable of meeting the demand.

For more on this, KCBS Radio news anchor Margie Shafer spoke with San Francisco Standard Reporter David Sjostedt.
