Summary
The Mayor's Fund's only fundraising channel — inserts in utility bills — apparently didn't reach many residents this cycle, including two subcommittee members. Members blame institutional barriers between city departments and years of late or missing mailings, and worry November and December donations will be near zero.

Impact analysis
The fund held only about $17,335 as of October 2025, and members expect little new donation revenue from the failed insert cycle.
Fixing the insert process would restore donation flow to homeless services providers across Long Beach.
Homeless services providers and their clients lose out when the fund can't raise money.
