San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom unveiled a budget proposal Tuesday, June 1 that leaves out funding for a program that helps transgender people find jobs, and cuts housing subsidies for people living with HIV/AIDS.

The Transgender Economic Empowerment Initiative, which started about three years ago, has helped more than 125 transgender people gain employment, according to program officials.

But Trent Rhorer, executive director of the Human Services Agency, said the mayor's proposal doesn't include funding for the initiative. According to Rhorer, the contracts for the transgender initiative are pegged at $270,498.
