SF mayor orders halt to grants for parks nonprofit as officials open investigation

SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR DANIEL LURIE has ordered a pause in grant funding to the nonprofit organization San Francisco Parks Alliance Friday, the same day an investigation into the organization’s finances was announced by the City Attorney’s Office. 

City Attorney David Chiu said in a statement that his office and Controller Greg Wagner would conduct a joint “public integrity assessment” at the request of the mayor, the city’s Recreation and Park Department, and the Port of San Francisco.
