40% of overdose deaths in Tenderloin occurred at Permanent Supportive Housing. That means 260 deaths since 2019. housing first is failing since it is not linked to sobriety & employment. providing housing without wrap around services doesn’t work. (1/n)https://t.co/gFYVdIJC9V
SF spends $160M on PSH, a low amount given the over $1B spent on homelessness. The city gives money to non profits who contract with about 70 SROs. SROs receive as little as $7 a day per room for supportive services, not nearly enough for services (2/n)https://t.co/GbCVC69BWE
PSH issues could be mitigated by removing high need participants into different programs. Like removing those addicted to fentanyl into treatment programs. Treatment programs hopefully not in a city with easy access to opioids and paid for by state. (3/n)https://t.co/PJIr042DbH
San Francisco should not spend a dime unless it is reciprocated by others. These issues of homelessness, addiction & mentally ill are nationwide issues. San Francisco has 11,000 PSH units. San Mateo County, 500. San Mateo County has 760k residents (4/n)https://t.co/aJWYtnjOwN
Until we have comprehensive plan, we need to stop encouraging drug tourists coming & tying up services that should be going to those who are improving their lives. We must end the open air dealing. We need Boise compliance to get users off streets. (5/5)https://t.co/ogLKUEDz3Z

If George Floyd had been hanging out in the Tenderloin, how would history have unfolded?
