Urban Alchemy, a nonprofit homeless service provider that operates at least four city-funded village-style shelters in Portland along with a new outdoor day center , is facing problems in two other cities.

The excess spending, revealed at a Wednesday San Francisco City Council meeting, could jeopardize Urban Alchemy’s $22.7 million contract to run a homeless shelter there, according to the Chronicle.
