Fewer than 15 of those visits resulted in “completed linkages” for drug treatment services, in which placements were confirmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the number of referrals for drug treatment — in which a person is told where they can access services and shows a willingness to do so — was higher, at nearly 110, but still made up a very small percentage of total visits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note that while many of those who visit the center experience substance use disorder, the exact percentage of visitors in this category is unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED tabulated these figures using data from \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/information/learn-about-tenderloin-emergency-initiative\">weekly operations reports\u003c/a> published by the city’s Public Health Department, and its \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/data/reducing-fatal-and-non-fatal-overdoses-tenderloin\">dashboard on overdose deaths and reversals\u003c/a>. Drug treatment placements include those for outpatient, detox and residential services, as well as medication-assisted treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11904277,news_11900195,news_11899726\"]Despite the low rate of completed linkages for treatment or referrals, some harm reduction advocates and city officials say the center holds promise because people who would otherwise be hard to reach are now showing up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Department of Public Health said measuring success is more complicated than just reviewing the number of linkages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Achieving a basic level of safety and security is a necessary first step toward potentially being open to treatment, and making progress takes time,” the department said in an email. “By providing a safe space, we build relationships and work with guests to find ways to improve their health, including treatment for substance-use disorders, mental health, and other medical care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vitka Eisen, CEO of HealthRIGHT 360, a nonprofit health provider that offers harm-reduction services at the linkage center, said it’s unrealistic to assume people who use drugs will suddenly walk in seeking treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really takes a fair amount of time for people to build a relationship, and take positive steps towards their health,” she said. “That takes a minute. It doesn’t happen because all of a sudden there’s a nice person here who says, ‘Hey, I can get you into treatment today if you want that.’ That’s not how that works.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even if it did, Eisen said, people would still likely have to wait for those services because the county and the state are in the midst of a staffing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re one of the largest providers of substance-use treatment in San Francisco, and we do not have enough staff to be able to complete the assessment to put people into treatment rapidly,” she said. “And once they get into treatment, we don’t have enough staff to prepare the treatment plan.

But because \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2022/election-results-sf-assembly/\">no one got a majority\u003c/a>, a special election was called between the top two vote-getters — Campos and Haney.

For instance, an April 2021 resolution sponsored by Haney put the city on record “urging support of eliminating the United States Senate filibuster.” A January 2010 resolution by Campos recognized “the grand re-opening of the Bernal Heights Branch Library and commending the San Francisco Public Library and its team for their hard work and commitment to San Francisco and its residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The supervisors vote on it, and — presto, change-o — it becomes a statement of record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lastly, hearings are meetings of the board, convened by one or more supervisors, to seek information or opinions on a topic of interest, wherein a representative of a city department may be asked to answer specific questions. Often these are a way to shine light on an issue for public understanding, or to establish a certain baseline of facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim, Haney’s predecessor, hasn’t endorsed either candidate, but has long considered both of them allies and friends. We asked Kim to offer her own analysis on the two candidates’ lawmaking histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hearing these numbers for the first time, I would say that both Supervisor Haney and former Supervisor David Campos are both very active supervisors legislatively,” said Kim, who now runs the California Working Families Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting that both candidates often wrote ordinances directly influenced by the hearings they called — rather than prompting one hearing after another without a clear goal in sight — Kim also suggested looking at those two tallies in tandem to gauge their productiveness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos, for instance, held a hearing in 2015 to look into fire code inspections of apartment buildings\u003ca href=\"https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/07/21/string-of-mission-district-fires-prompts-push-for-safer-buildings-tenant-protections/\"> after a string of fires in the Mission\u003c/a>, a neighborhood he represented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 2016, Campos had introduced an ordinance requiring owners of buildings with three or more dwelling units to comply with annual fire alarm testing and inspection requirements every two years, and upgrade existing fire alarm systems, among other changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney, meanwhile, called a hearing in 2019 to \u003ca href=\"https://beyondchron.org/supes-hold-hearing-on-tenderloin-drug-dealing/\">look into open-air drug dealing in the Tenderloin\u003c/a>, a longtime problem there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By September 2019, he had convened a street-level drug-dealing task force to develop recommendations for further action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do think that it contributed to the urgency that led to the [Tenderloin] state of emergency and some of the solutions that have been deployed,” Haney said of the task force’s findings. One of those recommendations led to the presence of \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/article/mayor-london-breed-announces-mid-market-vibrancy-and-safety-plan\">nonprofit Urban Alchemy’s unarmed ambassadors\u003c/a>, Haney said, who patrol the neighborhood to provide increased safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Which laws did the two candidates work on? \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>We categorized Campos and Haney’s legislative histories based on subject area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Every law Matt Haney wrote or sponsored on the SF Board of Supervisors\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-sI01t\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/sI01t/9/\" scrolling=\"yes\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: none;\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some laws were aimed at spurring housing development or tackling the homelessness crisis, or were inclusion-related laws aimed at helping a specific group, like the LGBTQ community or people of color. Other laws were intended to help specific businesses in each supervisor’s district, or a particular neighborhood, like when Haney created a local dog park in Mission Bay. The “reform” category includes new government ethics laws, improved access to voting, or cleaned-up errors in city code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Categorizing laws is more art than science — for instance, a public health law may specifically aim to help homeless people, so is it a health care law, or a homelessness law?

Haney, by contrast, has introduced more neighborhood-focused legislation. That differentiation could signal how they’d legislate in the Assembly, although, as Kim noted, it may also be circumstantial, given the open-air drug dealing, overdose deaths, poverty and homelessness that Haney has tried to address in his district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, Kim said, supervisors in the beginnings of their careers tend to focus more on the neighborhoods and districts that helped them get elected. But, “as they log on more years, they become more citywide in perspective,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Campos attributed his dearth of neighborhood-facing legislation on an inclination to develop citywide solutions to issues he identified in his own district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Navigation centers that help unhoused people with extended stays and connections to services are one example, he said. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10773847/as-s-f-s-homeless-crisis-grows-one-supervisor-wants-to-expand-new-approach-to-housing\">He helped get the first navigation center built in the Mission District, which he represented.\u003c/a> Along with other supervisors, Campos then sponsored legislation to expand navigation center construction in other neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we realized after the navigation center had been open was that no one else was opening navigation centers in their district, that ours was the only one,” Campos said. “That’s an example of something that was neighborhood-specific that then grew into a larger city issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney said he has focused more on his district because the South of Market and Tenderloin neighborhoods have “a lot of huge challenges.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, he trumpeted some of his own citywide laws, including placing on the 2020 ballot \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/San_Francisco,_California,_Proposition_B,_Public_Works_Commission_and_Sanitation_and_Streets_Commission_Charter_Amendment_(November_2020)\">Proposition B\u003c/a>, which split San Francisco’s embattled Public Works Department into two separate departments, one of which now focuses solely on sanitation and streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Housing: same issue, different approaches\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Assembly candidates tackled housing from noticeably different angles during their times on the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the whole, Campos tended to concentrate on protecting existing housing, while Haney has focused more on enabling new housing construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of this is situational: Haney’s district includes South of Market and part of downtown, two neighborhoods that encompass much of the city’s development. By contrast, Campos’s district includes the Mission, a hotbed of tenant advocacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Every law David Campos wrote/sponsored on SF Board of Supervisors\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-ZKLpa\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/ZKLpa/11/\" scrolling=\"yes\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: none;\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you look at these two candidates side by side, they’re not going to differentiate a lot on their positions around tenant protections, but a voter may decide that one candidate just has a greater wealth of experience in regards to the technical aspects, or just experience working on tenant-protection legislation,” Kim said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, Campos authored an ordinance to provide Rent Board hearings for tenants who allege landlord harassment. He also sponsored eight additional tenant-protection-related ordinances, including fire protections, relocation payments to evicted tenants, tenant buyout agreements, and no-fault eviction protections for families with children under 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while Haney in 2019 wrote legislation extending some eviction protections to units constructed after 1979, his main legislative focus was promoting construction of housing. For instance, in June 2019, he sponsored an ordinance approving a development agreement between San Francisco and KR Flower Mart LLC, for the development of an approximately 6.5-acre office and retail site located at Fifth and Brannon streets that was expected to generate $166 million in community fees, with $54 million earmarked for affordable housing. That development is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney also sponsored neighborhood redevelopment plans intended to spur housing and office construction and increase a jobs/housing linkage fee to fund new affordable housing development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MattHaneySF/status/1503765849634598914\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some of these plans were started by other lawmakers, and were years in the making before his time in office, they still stand in stark contrast to his opponent’s record, including Campos’s proposed “Mission moratorium,” a controversial 2015 ordinance to halt housing construction in his district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos told KQED he was largely responding to the wishes of his community at the time, when headlines often trumpeted high-profile evictions, and the issue of gentrification in the Mission District was on the tips of many tongues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the city’s politics have shifted ever-so-slightly in recent years to more strongly favor building dense construction — and amid that backdrop, Campos said he now supports building more housing than he did while serving as supervisor. But it should always be affordable housing, he added, as opposed to “luxury housing,” a term some use to refer to market-rate construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos said he would not repeat or replicate the Mission moratorium in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this business, you learn from your mistakes,” Campos said. “It’s actually something that came from the community. They actually collected signatures and brought it forward. And I think that in the end, you know, supporting it was a mistake. And if I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>The health care divide\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As supervisors, both also focused extensively on health policy, but in different areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos’s landmark health-related legislation sought to plug a loophole in Healthy San Francisco, the landmark law authored in 2006 by his predecessor, Tom Ammiano, that offered universal health coverage to city residents. But while one provision in the bill asked for companies to establish health care accounts to disburse money for employees, it also had a loophole that allowed the companies to get away with never giving the money away at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos’s legislation prevented companies from getting out of funding their employee health care accounts. “David was the cavalry,” said Ammiano, who in addition to his role as supervisor also served in the Assembly, and is supporting Campos. “He came to the rescue of Healthy San Francisco and closed a loophole, and now Healthy San Francisco is still healthy, especially given the COVID crisis. That politically, personally, morally meant a lot to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos also authored health-related ordinances to establish a Medical Cannabis Task Force, and to require the city to create a plan for equitable distribution of health care services, among other legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/DavidCamposSF/status/1494851925291855875\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, Haney’s health-related legislation illustrates his timing as a leader during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney had only been a supervisor for a year when the pandemic struck. Immediately, many citywide priorities were dropped as legislators and department heads came to grips with the invisible threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By March 2022, Haney had sponsored 10 COVID-19 emergency ordinances, the majority of which were extensions of two emergency laws. One requires grocery and drug stores, restaurants, and on-demand delivery service employers to provide health and scheduling protections to their employees during the pandemic. He also required the city to provide toilets and handwashing facilities within 1,000 feet of any tent encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were some areas where I didn’t feel like our response as a city was robust enough, whether that was protecting essential workers, providing for bathrooms or handwashing,” Haney said. “There’s still clearly areas where I needed to legislate to get people off the streets, to protect workers, to provide bathroom access.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, whom you decide to support may come down to a single issue. But, Kim advised, as you browse the lists of laws each candidate has written or sponsored, think about which laws you consider most vital and whom you would want to represent you based on their experience writing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s possible,” she said, “that the person with the greater experience in that legislative work will have a leg up the day they take their office in Sacramento.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

For instance, an April 2021 resolution sponsored by Haney put the city on record “urging support of eliminating the United States Senate filibuster.” A January 2010 resolution by Campos recognized “the grand re-opening of the Bernal Heights Branch Library and commending the San Francisco Public Library and its team for their hard work and commitment to San Francisco and its residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The supervisors vote on it, and — presto, change-o — it becomes a statement of record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lastly, hearings are meetings of the board, convened by one or more supervisors, to seek information or opinions on a topic of interest, wherein a representative of a city department may be asked to answer specific questions. Often these are a way to shine light on an issue for public understanding, or to establish a certain baseline of facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim, Haney’s predecessor, hasn’t endorsed either candidate, but has long considered both of them allies and friends. We asked Kim to offer her own analysis on the two candidates’ lawmaking histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hearing these numbers for the first time, I would say that both Supervisor Haney and former Supervisor David Campos are both very active supervisors legislatively,” said Kim, who now runs the California Working Families Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting that both candidates often wrote ordinances directly influenced by the hearings they called — rather than prompting one hearing after another without a clear goal in sight — Kim also suggested looking at those two tallies in tandem to gauge their productiveness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos, for instance, held a hearing in 2015 to look into fire code inspections of apartment buildings\u003ca href=\"https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/07/21/string-of-mission-district-fires-prompts-push-for-safer-buildings-tenant-protections/\"> after a string of fires in the Mission\u003c/a>, a neighborhood he represented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 2016, Campos had introduced an ordinance requiring owners of buildings with three or more dwelling units to comply with annual fire alarm testing and inspection requirements every two years, and upgrade existing fire alarm systems, among other changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney, meanwhile, called a hearing in 2019 to \u003ca href=\"https://beyondchron.org/supes-hold-hearing-on-tenderloin-drug-dealing/\">look into open-air drug dealing in the Tenderloin\u003c/a>, a longtime problem there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By September 2019, he had convened a street-level drug-dealing task force to develop recommendations for further action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do think that it contributed to the urgency that led to the [Tenderloin] state of emergency and some of the solutions that have been deployed,” Haney said of the task force’s findings. One of those recommendations led to the presence of \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/article/mayor-london-breed-announces-mid-market-vibrancy-and-safety-plan\">nonprofit Urban Alchemy’s unarmed ambassadors\u003c/a>, Haney said, who patrol the neighborhood to provide increased safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Which laws did the two candidates work on? \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>We categorized Campos and Haney’s legislative histories based on subject area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Every law Matt Haney wrote or sponsored on the SF Board of Supervisors\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-sI01t\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/sI01t/9/\" scrolling=\"yes\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: none;\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some laws were aimed at spurring housing development or tackling the homelessness crisis, or were inclusion-related laws aimed at helping a specific group, like the LGBTQ community or people of color.

The “reform” category includes new government ethics laws, improved access to voting, or cleaned-up errors in city code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Categorizing laws is more art than science — for instance, a public health law may specifically aim to help homeless people, so is it a health care law, or a homelessness law?

Haney, by contrast, has introduced more neighborhood-focused legislation. That differentiation could signal how they’d legislate in the Assembly, although, as Kim noted, it may also be circumstantial, given the open-air drug dealing, overdose deaths, poverty and homelessness that Haney has tried to address in his district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, Kim said, supervisors in the beginnings of their careers tend to focus more on the neighborhoods and districts that helped them get elected. But, “as they log on more years, they become more citywide in perspective,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Campos attributed his dearth of neighborhood-facing legislation on an inclination to develop citywide solutions to issues he identified in his own district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Navigation centers that help unhoused people with extended stays and connections to services are one example, he said. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10773847/as-s-f-s-homeless-crisis-grows-one-supervisor-wants-to-expand-new-approach-to-housing\">He helped get the first navigation center built in the Mission District, which he represented.\u003c/a> Along with other supervisors, Campos then sponsored legislation to expand navigation center construction in other neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we realized after the navigation center had been open was that no one else was opening navigation centers in their district, that ours was the only one,” Campos said. “That’s an example of something that was neighborhood-specific that then grew into a larger city issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney said he has focused more on his district because the South of Market and Tenderloin neighborhoods have “a lot of huge challenges.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, he trumpeted some of his own citywide laws, including placing on the 2020 ballot \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/San_Francisco,_California,_Proposition_B,_Public_Works_Commission_and_Sanitation_and_Streets_Commission_Charter_Amendment_(November_2020)\">Proposition B\u003c/a>, which split San Francisco’s embattled Public Works Department into two separate departments, one of which now focuses solely on sanitation and streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Housing: same issue, different approaches\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Assembly candidates tackled housing from noticeably different angles during their times on the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the whole, Campos tended to concentrate on protecting existing housing, while Haney has focused more on enabling new housing construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of this is situational: Haney’s district includes South of Market and part of downtown, two neighborhoods that encompass much of the city’s development. By contrast, Campos’s district includes the Mission, a hotbed of tenant advocacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Every law David Campos wrote/sponsored on SF Board of Supervisors\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-ZKLpa\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/ZKLpa/11/\" scrolling=\"yes\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: none;\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you look at these two candidates side by side, they’re not going to differentiate a lot on their positions around tenant protections, but a voter may decide that one candidate just has a greater wealth of experience in regards to the technical aspects, or just experience working on tenant-protection legislation,” Kim said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, Campos authored an ordinance to provide Rent Board hearings for tenants who allege landlord harassment. He also sponsored eight additional tenant-protection-related ordinances, including fire protections, relocation payments to evicted tenants, tenant buyout agreements, and no-fault eviction protections for families with children under 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while Haney in 2019 wrote legislation extending some eviction protections to units constructed after 1979, his main legislative focus was promoting construction of housing. For instance, in June 2019, he sponsored an ordinance approving a development agreement between San Francisco and KR Flower Mart LLC, for the development of an approximately 6.5-acre office and retail site located at Fifth and Brannon streets that was expected to generate $166 million in community fees, with $54 million earmarked for affordable housing. That development is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney also sponsored neighborhood redevelopment plans intended to spur housing and office construction and increase a jobs/housing linkage fee to fund new affordable housing development.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But it should always be affordable housing, he added, as opposed to “luxury housing,” a term some use to refer to market-rate construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos said he would not repeat or replicate the Mission moratorium in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this business, you learn from your mistakes,” Campos said. “It’s actually something that came from the community. They actually collected signatures and brought it forward. And I think that in the end, you know, supporting it was a mistake.

But while one provision in the bill asked for companies to establish health care accounts to disburse money for employees, it also had a loophole that allowed the companies to get away with never giving the money away at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos’s legislation prevented companies from getting out of funding their employee health care accounts. “David was the cavalry,” said Ammiano, who in addition to his role as supervisor also served in the Assembly, and is supporting Campos. “He came to the rescue of Healthy San Francisco and closed a loophole, and now Healthy San Francisco is still healthy, especially given the COVID crisis. That politically, personally, morally meant a lot to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos also authored health-related ordinances to establish a Medical Cannabis Task Force, and to require the city to create a plan for equitable distribution of health care services, among other legislation.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Immediately, many citywide priorities were dropped as legislators and department heads came to grips with the invisible threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By March 2022, Haney had sponsored 10 COVID-19 emergency ordinances, the majority of which were extensions of two emergency laws. One requires grocery and drug stores, restaurants, and on-demand delivery service employers to provide health and scheduling protections to their employees during the pandemic. He also required the city to provide toilets and handwashing facilities within 1,000 feet of any tent encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were some areas where I didn’t feel like our response as a city was robust enough, whether that was protecting essential workers, providing for bathrooms or handwashing,” Haney said. “There’s still clearly areas where I needed to legislate to get people off the streets, to protect workers, to provide bathroom access.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, whom you decide to support may come down to a single issue.

The high cost of living, driven by a constantly transforming tech industry, ensured that even with two jobs he would never save enough money to buy a house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he started looking elsewhere, settling on Houston just last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Houston, I can be a blue-collar entrepreneur. With the Houston housing market, it made sense to come here,\" said Giusti, who started a house-painting business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giusti was one of tens of thousands of residents who vacated some of the nation's biggest, most densely populated and costly metropolitan areas in favor of Sun Belt destinations during the first full year of the pandemic, from mid-2020 to mid-2021, according to new data released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pandemic intensified population trends of migration to the South and West, as well as a slowdown in growth in the biggest cities in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exodus from the biggest U.S. metropolitan areas was led by New York, which lost almost 328,000 residents. It was driven by people leaving for elsewhere, even though the metro area gained new residents from abroad and births outpaced deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco saw a loss of more than 116,000 residents, metropolitan Los Angeles lost almost 176,000 residents and greater Chicago lost more than 91,000 people from 2020 to 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Jose, Boston, Miami and Washington areas also lost tens of thousands of residents, primarily from people moving away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Housing Coverage' tag='housing']On the flip side, the Dallas area grew by more than 97,000 residents, Phoenix jumped by more than 78,000 people and greater Houston added 69,000 residents, including Giusti. In the Phoenix metropolitan area, growth was driven by moves from elsewhere in the U.S., while in Dallas and Houston it was propelled by a combination of migration and births outpacing deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Texas has a thing about it, a romantic thing, with cowboys, and there's the idea here of the Lone Star State,\" said Giusti in describing the lure of Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Census Bureau's Vintage 2021 estimates also showed micro areas — defined as having a core city of less than 50,000 residents — gaining population from mid-2020 to mid-2021, after years of slow growth or declining population. The small population gains were driven by people moving there, as deaths continued to outpace births in many of these communities. Growth in micro areas was led by two Montana towns — Kalispell and Bozeman — and by Jefferson, Georgia. According to data released earlier this year from the California Policy Lab, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Migration-to-California-fell-from-most-states-17031956.php\">Idaho saw the biggest increase in move-ins from San Franciscans during the pandemic\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demographer William Frey said he believes the growth of micro areas and decreases in the biggest metros will be temporary, taking place at the height of people moving during the pandemic when work-from-home arrangements freed up workers from having to go to their offices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is clearly a dispersion, but I think it's a blip,\" said Frey, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution's metropolitan policy program, Brookings Metro. \"We're at one of the lowest levels of immigration in a long, long time, and that affects big metros like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. That is going to come back. With the natural decrease, we will go back to normal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between mid-2020 and mid-2021, there was a stark increase in deaths outpacing births across the country, a trend fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as fewer births and an aging population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have more older Americans, and birth rates are low so you don't have many children being born, and then along comes COVID, and it hits older adults the most, often in rural areas without access to good health care,\" said Kenneth Johnson, a senior demographer at the University of New Hampshire. \"It's like a perfect storm, if you will, that produced this natural decrease.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pittsburgh and Tampa, Florida, had the largest natural decreases of U.S. metropolitan areas, in the range of 10,000 residents each. Pittsburgh's overall population declined by almost 14,000 residents because people left. But the Tampa area grew bigger because of an influx of more than 45,000 new residents, such as Jennifer Waldholtz, who moved from Atlanta with her husband in 2020. They had previously lived in Orlando and missed Florida's palm trees and blue skies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We wanted to come back to Florida. It was state-specific,\" said Waldholtz, who works in nonprofit development. \"We loved the way of life in Florida. It's a vibe, the way of living, sunshine, palm trees, but definitely not politically.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>March 28: \u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The original version of this report stated that Montana, rather than Idaho, saw the biggest increase in move-ins from San Franciscans during the pandemic. \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/em>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The story has been edited to correct the inaccuracy.\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n",

In the Phoenix metropolitan area, growth was driven by moves from elsewhere in the U.S., while in Dallas and Houston it was propelled by a combination of migration and births outpacing deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Texas has a thing about it, a romantic thing, with cowboys, and there's the idea here of the Lone Star State,\" said Giusti in describing the lure of Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Census Bureau's Vintage 2021 estimates also showed micro areas — defined as having a core city of less than 50,000 residents — gaining population from mid-2020 to mid-2021, after years of slow growth or declining population. The small population gains were driven by people moving there, as deaths continued to outpace births in many of these communities. Growth in micro areas was led by two Montana towns — Kalispell and Bozeman — and by Jefferson, Georgia. According to data released earlier this year from the California Policy Lab, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Migration-to-California-fell-from-most-states-17031956.php\">Idaho saw the biggest increase in move-ins from San Franciscans during the pandemic\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demographer William Frey said he believes the growth of micro areas and decreases in the biggest metros will be temporary, taking place at the height of people moving during the pandemic when work-from-home arrangements freed up workers from having to go to their offices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is clearly a dispersion, but I think it's a blip,\" said Frey, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution's metropolitan policy program, Brookings Metro. \"We're at one of the lowest levels of immigration in a long, long time, and that affects big metros like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. That is going to come back. With the natural decrease, we will go back to normal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between mid-2020 and mid-2021, there was a stark increase in deaths outpacing births across the country, a trend fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as fewer births and an aging population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have more older Americans, and birth rates are low so you don't have many children being born, and then along comes COVID, and it hits older adults the most, often in rural areas without access to good health care,\" said Kenneth Johnson, a senior demographer at the University of New Hampshire. \"It's like a perfect storm, if you will, that produced this natural decrease.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pittsburgh and Tampa, Florida, had the largest natural decreases of U.S. metropolitan areas, in the range of 10,000 residents each. Pittsburgh's overall population declined by almost 14,000 residents because people left. But the Tampa area grew bigger because of an influx of more than 45,000 new residents, such as Jennifer Waldholtz, who moved from Atlanta with her husband in 2020. They had previously lived in Orlando and missed Florida's palm trees and blue skies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We wanted to come back to Florida. It was state-specific,\" said Waldholtz, who works in nonprofit development. \"We loved the way of life in Florida. It's a vibe, the way of living, sunshine, palm trees, but definitely not politically.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>March 28: \u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The original version of this report stated that Montana, rather than Idaho, saw the biggest increase in move-ins from San Franciscans during the pandemic. \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/em>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The story has been edited to correct the inaccuracy.\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

One afternoon in December, wearing a black hoodie, faded black jeans embroidered with roses and carefully applied makeup, she biked three blocks from the city-sanctioned tent encampment where she lives, carrying a bag with a still-sealed Minnie Mouse stationery kit and a brand-new pair of brown high heels. Almost immediately, she was approached by a man interested in buying the stationery kit to give to his daughter for Christmas. “Eight dollars,” she said. He talked her down to five, and a deal was made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a pause in bartering, a text message appeared on her phone. “I’ve been assigned a case manager! It happened this morning,” she exclaimed, calling over her friend Johnny to tell him the news. “I’m going to be moving indoors in the next couple weeks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ladybird said she hasn’t lived indoors in seven years. This winter, she said, she finally got approved for a permanent supportive housing unit — a subsidized room with health, employment and social services, paid for by the city and federal government. But despite her optimism, that didn’t mean the end of her wait. In San Francisco, the path from homelessness to housing can take as long as two years, and that’s for someone lucky enough to make it onto the waitlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s struggle with housing its unhoused population is notorious across the nation. Multiple mayors have promised to get the crisis under control. The city’s dedicated homelessness department, created in 2016, has an annual budget of $598 million — a sum that has more than tripled in its short existence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, as of early February, the city’s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing reported 1,633 homeless people like Ladybird — approved for housing and awaiting their turn to move in. Yet records provided by the department show 888 vacancies in its permanent supportive housing stock as of Feb. 22. Filling those empty rooms would not just cut the waiting list by more than half. It would be enough to house roughly 1 in 8 eight homeless people in the city. The homelessness department said it cannot talk about individual cases, but officials acknowledged that at least 400 people have been waiting more than a year, far beyond the department’s professed goal of placing applicants into housing 30 to 45 days after they’re approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These persistent vacancy numbers stem largely from two new bureaucratic problems. First, the homelessness department created a policy that bumped hundreds of people who had previously been approved for housing to the bottom of a new list. In December 2020, the department rolled out a plan that reserved all available permanent supportive housing units for residents of shelter-in-place hotels, which had been opened during the pandemic to keep people who had been living on the streets safe from COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This led to a spike in vacancies as many hotel-dwellers opted to stay in place rather than accept a more permanent option. It also meant that everyone else — people on the streets, in shelters, in navigation centers and in city-sanctioned tent sites — was out of luck, simply based on where they slept at night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s into this void that Ladybird fell. A resident of a tent site, she was behind an even larger number of people on an already-massive list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, even when someone is approved to move in, the city is slow to send the paperwork — what’s called a “referral” — over to the private nonprofit organizations contracted by the city to manage housing units. Over the course of the pandemic, this problem has grown steadily worse.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Doug Gary, co-founder and co-director, Delivering Innovation in Supportive Housing, or DISH\"]‘There are going to be 38 people stuck on the street tonight, and they could be in DISH housing.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doug Gary recently retired from one of those organizations, Delivering Innovations in Supportive Housing, or DISH. A year ago, he reported that the organization had 38 vacant units, with no referrals. Gary remembered passing people sleeping on the sidewalk as he walked to work, knowing he had empty units languishing in his buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are going to be 38 people stuck on the street tonight, and they could be in DISH housing,” he recalled thinking. “And that’s been true for months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last count of San Francisco’s unhoused population numbered more than 8,000. There is not enough housing for all of them. To try to help, the city’s mayor, London Breed, is pursuing a new goal: She has allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to procure 1,500 new units by the end of 2022. The city is on track to hit Mayor Breed’s goal, and may even exceed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with so many units of housing already sitting vacant — a number that according to the department has roughly doubled during the pandemic — a critical question arises: Will the city be able to fill them?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A deprioritized population struggles to get indoors\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Funding for permanent supportive housing constitutes the largest piece of San Francisco’s budget for the unhoused, and the supply of housing is growing rapidly. It consists mostly of older hotels converted into single-room-occupancy residences. The city contracts with a dozen nonprofit organizations to run the nearly 150 buildings and manage social services, such as moving people in and out of units, maintaining the properties and managing individual cases, including everything from connecting people to treatment for substance use disorder to helping someone apply for food stamps. Residents pay 30% of their income, including Social Security benefits, toward rent, and the city subsidizes the rest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of the 1,633 people in line for a permanent supportive housing unit had to answer a series of questions to determine who is most vulnerable and therefore most in need of housing. Every year, more than 3,000 people take this assessment, called “coordinated entry,” which takes into consideration, among other things, how long they’ve been homeless, if they have any mental or physical disabilities and if they’re addicted to drugs. Those who score highly by the city’s complex algorithm — in theory, the most vulnerable — are marked “housing priority status,” and are then put on a waitlist for permanent supportive housing.[aside postID=news_11905645 label='More on Housing']But actually getting off the waitlist and into those units isn’t easy. The city’s software to track vacant units is error-prone, unit maintenance problems take a long time to resolve, case managers quit and it can be impossible for people who have been living on the street to meet document requirements. (The homelessness department said that the city is currently working on the software and documentation issues, and has put a raise for case managers into its budget request for next year.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of all that, the city’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic made getting housed harder by creating a system that gave top priority to those least likely to want to move in: those who suddenly found themselves living for free in shelter-in-place hotel rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In spring 2020, as the city locked down and its housed residents stayed indoors, advocates raised concern for the thousands of unhoused people living outside and in temporary shelters, many of whom had health conditions that increased their risk for severe COVID-19. Those fears were realized when 92 residents of a large one-room shelter contracted the illness just one month after the city shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, San Francisco leased hotel rooms to help people experiencing homelessness quarantine indoors. It was always meant to be a temporary measure, and as the pandemic dragged on, the homelessness department strategized on how to wind the program down. The optics of sending anyone back to the street were not great, and the city created a policy of prioritizing residents of the shelter-in-place hotels for housing.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Abigail Stewart-Kahn, former director, San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing\"]‘It is both one of the biggest opportunities and one of the biggest challenges our city has faced in our homelessness space.’[/pullquote]“I will be candid: It is both one of the biggest opportunities and one of the biggest challenges our city has faced in our homelessness space,” said Abigail Stewart-Kahn, then director of the homelessness department, during a Nov. 10, 2020, Board of Supervisors meeting at City Hall, where she justified the new policy. She added that the department would keep an eye on the data, and would “course-correct” to ensure the process was successful. In subsequent interviews and email exchanges, the department did not respond to additional questions about why that policy was created and pursued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The data over the past 15 months shows a gradually increasing crisis: In October 2020 there were 544 vacant units. A year later, vacancies had nearly doubled to 1,064. While units sat vacant, people living outdoors were waiting to get indoors. Any course correction has been slow to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the get-go, the policy of reserving housing for people in hotels was difficult to implement. Although residents knew the hotels were temporary and could close at any time, many were reluctant to move from free, modern rooms with private bathrooms into small, older units with bathrooms down the hall, at a cost of 30% of their income. All of a sudden, one housing provider said, three applicants for housing had to be referred in order to fill one vacant room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the first seven months after the policy was implemented, supportive housing vacancies jumped 61%, from 600 units in November 2020 to 964 in June 2021, a period when the city was also adding new units. In February 2021, the homelessness department reported that 70% of shelter-in-place hotel residents who were offered a spot in the Granada Hotel, a newly purchased permanent supportive housing building, had rejected the placement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When someone turned down an available housing unit, it sat vacant until a new referral appeared. Providers found themselves in a new position: having to offer incentives to persuade potential tenants to move in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Georgetta Lovett, a property supervisor at DISH, oversees more than 300 units of permanent supportive housing. She said the organization now provides move-in benefits: free rent for the first month, free meals for three months and a free Muni transit pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resistance to moving into permanent housing is not something Lovett experienced when showing units to people who had been living outside.[aside postID=news_11904495 label=\"KQED's 'Sold Out' Podcast\"]“People coming directly off the streets would take the place immediately,” she said. “We would be able to show them a room, they’d say, ‘Oh, this is nice.’ Most of them don’t come with a lot of stuff, and they were like, ‘I can move in today, or I can move in tomorrow.’ And normally we can make that happen right away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Feb. 24, 2021, a budget hearing at City Hall on shelter-in-place hotels showed the homelessness department was aware early on that the policy was adding to the vacancy crisis in permanent supportive housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are noting that people who are not in shelter-in-place hotels are more eager to take permanent supportive housing placements,” Stewart-Kahn said, adding that it was “putting pressure on our system.” She said that the department was “reevaluating” the policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three weeks later, Stewart-Kahn resigned, moving to a new role as an adviser to the city’s Department of Children, Youth and Their Families. That same month, the city established an 18-person shelter-in-place hotel housing team. Their task: to more efficiently implement the policy and move everyone qualified for housing from shelter-in-place hotels into vacant units. As a result of the change, move-ins did increase. In the six months before the housing team was established, the city moved 325 people into permanent supportive housing. In the six months after its creation, that number grew to 488.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email exchange with the San Francisco Public Press and ProPublica in February, Megan Owens, who oversees much of the housing process of the city’s homelessness department, acknowledged that the policy “caused a huge delay” for adults living outside the hotels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June, the department told the news organizations that it planned to open up a portion of permanent supportive housing vacancies to unhoused people living outside shelter-in-place hotels. But the department offered no transparency about how units were being allocated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither effort did enough to catch up to the growing supply. By September 2021, vacancies were at their height, with 1,064 permanent supportive housing units empty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delay in access to housing has been rough for people living outdoors. According to the official numbers, the current median wait time for a unit is 82 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Owens admitted that the software the city uses doesn’t accurately track the time between being approved for housing and moving indoors. The city and federal government spent $8.5 million for that system over the past five years, but information on people trying to get indoors still isn’t recorded accurately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, if someone doesn’t contact their case manager for 90 days, their spot on the waitlist expires. In acknowledgment of the long delays, at the start of 2021 the city automatically reinstated those applications, but the software then started the timeline over from scratch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The 300 people that expired off the queue and were reinstated in December and January are now listed as having waited 20 to 45 days, depending when they were reinstated, but their experience is that they’ve been waiting for months,” Owens explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That lack of clear data worries Nan Roman, president and CEO of the National Alliance to End Homelessness. People who are unsheltered “have very high needs, and they need to get into permanent supportive housing,” she said. “If you don’t keep good administrative data, you can’t track them. You can’t support them. You can’t find them. You can’t know what their situation is. It’s very important to have good data to make these programs work properly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of those who are waiting are living in city-sanctioned tent encampments in empty parking lots around the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s where Ladybird, ineligible for housing under the policy that prioritizes hotel dwellers, lived for 15 months. (She requested the use of her nickname for this story due to complicated family matters; her identity was confirmed by a member of the city’s health department.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years on the streets, Ladybird committed herself to finding a home. She said she took the coordinated entry assessment for housing three times — going through a mandatory six-month wait between attempts. She was finally approved in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Six months is a long time,” she said about the time between applications. “You basically have to be sitting out here waiting to be raped every night.” (A University of California San Francisco study found that 32% of women living outdoors reported instances of sexual or physical assault.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research backs up Ladybird’s experience. “The impact of waiting weeks, months or years in a shelter or outside rather than a home has devastating consequences for a person,” said Chris Herring, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles. “Homelessness for even short periods of time has negative impacts on people’s physical, behavioral and mental health, can strain familial and social relations, have lasting impacts on future employment opportunities, and can entangle people in the criminal justice system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the city-owned parking lot where Ladybird lived during the last year, her cheap camping tent, which rested on a wooden platform in a parking lot, got moldy during a wet winter. She developed pneumonia, and said rats would run around at night, hiding under the pallet she slept on.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Ladybird, unhoused resident of San Francisco\"]‘Your body goes through a lot being homeless. I’ve had pneumonia for two months now, from black mold on my tent. My tent is literally killing me.’[/pullquote]“I can’t be there anymore,” she said when interviewed in December. “Your body goes through a lot being homeless. I’ve had pneumonia for two months now, from black mold on my tent. My tent is literally killing me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the city said it is taking steps to mitigate delays, months of living in a wet tent site took its toll on residents. In text messages sent late one night, Ladybird described the chaos that had ensued as one of her neighbors had a mental breakdown. “This situation is getting worse by the day, it’s more twisted than anything I’ve seen in my decade out here,” she said. “I would be better off on the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation felt hopeless. “This site hasn’t placed anybody,” Ladybird said. “Anybody who’s getting out of there is doing it on their own. There’s no social worker. It’s just a dead end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Paperwork bottlenecks stall the process of moving people indoors\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While the policies of the last two years left people like Ladybird living outdoors, those living in shelter-in-place hotels haven’t always fared better, with some of them waiting more than a year to be connected to a home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marquita Stroud is one of those. She said that she has been homeless for 15 years, but that about a month before the COVID-19 outbreak began in earnest, she was approved for permanent supportive housing. “God was on my side!” she said when interviewed in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April 2020, she was relocated to the Hotel Whitcomb, a historic tourist hotel repurposed to allow people experiencing homelessness to quarantine safely. Stroud was one of 500 unhoused people the city moved from large, warehouse-style shelters into 25 hotels around town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stroud is an optimist, high-energy and cheerful, who wears her hair tied up neatly in a scarf. “It’s wet!” she exclaimed on a rainy morning, as she strode confidently down Market Street with an umbrella in one hand, pushing a cart containing her small, fluffy dog, Blue, with the other. She headed straight to a corner of the public library, a place she knows well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under COVID-19-era rules, Stroud isn’t allowed visitors where she lives, so she meets people at their apartments, outside or in public places. The prohibition on guests didn’t bother Stroud too much when she first moved in. But she felt isolated and, as the months dragged on, no one contacted her about moving into her own place. Stroud watched her friends and neighbors — many of whom arrived in the hotel the same day she did — move into permanent housing. Her turn never came.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In large part, that’s because the homelessness department’s process for reviewing and selecting unhoused people for referral is slow. And in the period when Stroud was waiting, things were markedly worse. In October 2020, 32% of vacant units had no pending referrals for a resident. In January, that ratio had more than doubled, to 66% of available units, according to the city’s own data. The department did not respond to questions about why this might be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gary ran eight buildings through DISH. In February 2021, before he stepped down, he said the problem wasn’t new, but it was getting worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Somewhere there is a bottleneck where the city is not sending us the housing application — that is, the documented representation of that person that we can process,” he said. “We report the vacancy to the city, and those vacancies languish for weeks to months without a referral of a real live human being who can be housed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least part of the problem is a shortage of case managers, who are the crucial link between vacant units and the hundreds of people approved for housing. There is frequent turnover in the high-stress positions, and nonprofits struggle to fill new job openings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stroud said she has been assigned six case managers in two years. To figure out who is assigned to her, she regularly checks a piece of paper taped to a wall in her hotel, which lists the name of the case manager assigned to each floor. She describes calling her case manager repeatedly to set up an appointment and not getting through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They pretty much don’t go knocking on your door,” Stroud said. “You got to ask for them. If I see one in the hallway — like if I see a worker talking to a client in the hallway — I always ask, ‘Are you a counselor? Are you my counselor?’ Because they don’t tell you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly two years after being approved for a housing unit, Stroud is still at the Hotel Whitcomb. Although she dreams of going back to school, publishing her journals and giving back to the homeless community, her reality is much different. She’s had items stolen from her room, and the building has fallen into disrepair. “When we first got to this hotel, it was so cute,” she said. “Now they got the bedbugs, the roaches, the mice. Every other day, the pipes are messing up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently she met a woman who had recently moved into the Whitcomb, but was already on her way out: She’d been assigned a housing unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was asking her, what did she do to get her housing that quick? And she said her counselor just came knocking on her door like, ‘You ready to go?’” Stroud said, clearly frustrated. “I haven’t talked to anyone about housing,” she said this month, as she approaches her two-year anniversary at the hotel. “I’m still here just waiting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Ladybird, she was approved for housing in November, but three months later, she is still without a home. In January, she left the tent encampment for a short-term residential hotel, but it comes with a time limit. “After 28 days, we get put out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Are you currently unhoused in San Francisco, and trying to get housing?

One afternoon in December, wearing a black hoodie, faded black jeans embroidered with roses and carefully applied makeup, she biked three blocks from the city-sanctioned tent encampment where she lives, carrying a bag with a still-sealed Minnie Mouse stationery kit and a brand-new pair of brown high heels. Almost immediately, she was approached by a man interested in buying the stationery kit to give to his daughter for Christmas. “Eight dollars,” she said. He talked her down to five, and a deal was made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a pause in bartering, a text message appeared on her phone. “I’ve been assigned a case manager! It happened this morning,” she exclaimed, calling over her friend Johnny to tell him the news. “I’m going to be moving indoors in the next couple weeks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ladybird said she hasn’t lived indoors in seven years. This winter, she said, she finally got approved for a permanent supportive housing unit — a subsidized room with health, employment and social services, paid for by the city and federal government. But despite her optimism, that didn’t mean the end of her wait. In San Francisco, the path from homelessness to housing can take as long as two years, and that’s for someone lucky enough to make it onto the waitlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s struggle with housing its unhoused population is notorious across the nation. Multiple mayors have promised to get the crisis under control. The city’s dedicated homelessness department, created in 2016, has an annual budget of $598 million — a sum that has more than tripled in its short existence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, as of early February, the city’s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing reported 1,633 homeless people like Ladybird — approved for housing and awaiting their turn to move in. Yet records provided by the department show 888 vacancies in its permanent supportive housing stock as of Feb. 22. Filling those empty rooms would not just cut the waiting list by more than half. It would be enough to house roughly 1 in 8 eight homeless people in the city. The homelessness department said it cannot talk about individual cases, but officials acknowledged that at least 400 people have been waiting more than a year, far beyond the department’s professed goal of placing applicants into housing 30 to 45 days after they’re approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These persistent vacancy numbers stem largely from two new bureaucratic problems. First, the homelessness department created a policy that bumped hundreds of people who had previously been approved for housing to the bottom of a new list. In December 2020, the department rolled out a plan that reserved all available permanent supportive housing units for residents of shelter-in-place hotels, which had been opened during the pandemic to keep people who had been living on the streets safe from COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This led to a spike in vacancies as many hotel-dwellers opted to stay in place rather than accept a more permanent option. It also meant that everyone else — people on the streets, in shelters, in navigation centers and in city-sanctioned tent sites — was out of luck, simply based on where they slept at night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s into this void that Ladybird fell. A resident of a tent site, she was behind an even larger number of people on an already-massive list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, even when someone is approved to move in, the city is slow to send the paperwork — what’s called a “referral” — over to the private nonprofit organizations contracted by the city to manage housing units. Over the course of the pandemic, this problem has grown steadily worse.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A year ago, he reported that the organization had 38 vacant units, with no referrals. Gary remembered passing people sleeping on the sidewalk as he walked to work, knowing he had empty units languishing in his buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are going to be 38 people stuck on the street tonight, and they could be in DISH housing,” he recalled thinking. “And that’s been true for months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last count of San Francisco’s unhoused population numbered more than 8,000. There is not enough housing for all of them. To try to help, the city’s mayor, London Breed, is pursuing a new goal: She has allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to procure 1,500 new units by the end of 2022. The city is on track to hit Mayor Breed’s goal, and may even exceed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with so many units of housing already sitting vacant — a number that according to the department has roughly doubled during the pandemic — a critical question arises: Will the city be able to fill them?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A deprioritized population struggles to get indoors\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Funding for permanent supportive housing constitutes the largest piece of San Francisco’s budget for the unhoused, and the supply of housing is growing rapidly. It consists mostly of older hotels converted into single-room-occupancy residences. The city contracts with a dozen nonprofit organizations to run the nearly 150 buildings and manage social services, such as moving people in and out of units, maintaining the properties and managing individual cases, including everything from connecting people to treatment for substance use disorder to helping someone apply for food stamps. Residents pay 30% of their income, including Social Security benefits, toward rent, and the city subsidizes the rest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of the 1,633 people in line for a permanent supportive housing unit had to answer a series of questions to determine who is most vulnerable and therefore most in need of housing. Every year, more than 3,000 people take this assessment, called “coordinated entry,” which takes into consideration, among other things, how long they’ve been homeless, if they have any mental or physical disabilities and if they’re addicted to drugs. Those who score highly by the city’s complex algorithm — in theory, the most vulnerable — are marked “housing priority status,” and are then put on a waitlist for permanent supportive housing.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The city’s software to track vacant units is error-prone, unit maintenance problems take a long time to resolve, case managers quit and it can be impossible for people who have been living on the street to meet document requirements. (The homelessness department said that the city is currently working on the software and documentation issues, and has put a raise for case managers into its budget request for next year.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of all that, the city’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic made getting housed harder by creating a system that gave top priority to those least likely to want to move in: those who suddenly found themselves living for free in shelter-in-place hotel rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In spring 2020, as the city locked down and its housed residents stayed indoors, advocates raised concern for the thousands of unhoused people living outside and in temporary shelters, many of whom had health conditions that increased their risk for severe COVID-19. Those fears were realized when 92 residents of a large one-room shelter contracted the illness just one month after the city shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, San Francisco leased hotel rooms to help people experiencing homelessness quarantine indoors. It was always meant to be a temporary measure, and as the pandemic dragged on, the homelessness department strategized on how to wind the program down. The optics of sending anyone back to the street were not great, and the city created a policy of prioritizing residents of the shelter-in-place hotels for housing.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She added that the department would keep an eye on the data, and would “course-correct” to ensure the process was successful. In subsequent interviews and email exchanges, the department did not respond to additional questions about why that policy was created and pursued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The data over the past 15 months shows a gradually increasing crisis: In October 2020 there were 544 vacant units. A year later, vacancies had nearly doubled to 1,064. While units sat vacant, people living outdoors were waiting to get indoors. Any course correction has been slow to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the get-go, the policy of reserving housing for people in hotels was difficult to implement. Although residents knew the hotels were temporary and could close at any time, many were reluctant to move from free, modern rooms with private bathrooms into small, older units with bathrooms down the hall, at a cost of 30% of their income. All of a sudden, one housing provider said, three applicants for housing had to be referred in order to fill one vacant room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the first seven months after the policy was implemented, supportive housing vacancies jumped 61%, from 600 units in November 2020 to 964 in June 2021, a period when the city was also adding new units. In February 2021, the homelessness department reported that 70% of shelter-in-place hotel residents who were offered a spot in the Granada Hotel, a newly purchased permanent supportive housing building, had rejected the placement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When someone turned down an available housing unit, it sat vacant until a new referral appeared. Providers found themselves in a new position: having to offer incentives to persuade potential tenants to move in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Georgetta Lovett, a property supervisor at DISH, oversees more than 300 units of permanent supportive housing. She said the organization now provides move-in benefits: free rent for the first month, free meals for three months and a free Muni transit pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resistance to moving into permanent housing is not something Lovett experienced when showing units to people who had been living outside.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That same month, the city established an 18-person shelter-in-place hotel housing team. Their task: to more efficiently implement the policy and move everyone qualified for housing from shelter-in-place hotels into vacant units. As a result of the change, move-ins did increase. In the six months before the housing team was established, the city moved 325 people into permanent supportive housing. In the six months after its creation, that number grew to 488.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email exchange with the San Francisco Public Press and ProPublica in February, Megan Owens, who oversees much of the housing process of the city’s homelessness department, acknowledged that the policy “caused a huge delay” for adults living outside the hotels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June, the department told the news organizations that it planned to open up a portion of permanent supportive housing vacancies to unhoused people living outside shelter-in-place hotels. But the department offered no transparency about how units were being allocated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither effort did enough to catch up to the growing supply. By September 2021, vacancies were at their height, with 1,064 permanent supportive housing units empty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delay in access to housing has been rough for people living outdoors. According to the official numbers, the current median wait time for a unit is 82 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Owens admitted that the software the city uses doesn’t accurately track the time between being approved for housing and moving indoors. The city and federal government spent $8.5 million for that system over the past five years, but information on people trying to get indoors still isn’t recorded accurately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, if someone doesn’t contact their case manager for 90 days, their spot on the waitlist expires. In acknowledgment of the long delays, at the start of 2021 the city automatically reinstated those applications, but the software then started the timeline over from scratch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The 300 people that expired off the queue and were reinstated in December and January are now listed as having waited 20 to 45 days, depending when they were reinstated, but their experience is that they’ve been waiting for months,” Owens explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That lack of clear data worries Nan Roman, president and CEO of the National Alliance to End Homelessness. People who are unsheltered “have very high needs, and they need to get into permanent supportive housing,” she said. “If you don’t keep good administrative data, you can’t track them. You can’t support them. You can’t find them. You can’t know what their situation is. It’s very important to have good data to make these programs work properly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of those who are waiting are living in city-sanctioned tent encampments in empty parking lots around the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s where Ladybird, ineligible for housing under the policy that prioritizes hotel dwellers, lived for 15 months. (She requested the use of her nickname for this story due to complicated family matters; her identity was confirmed by a member of the city’s health department.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years on the streets, Ladybird committed herself to finding a home. She said she took the coordinated entry assessment for housing three times — going through a mandatory six-month wait between attempts. She was finally approved in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Six months is a long time,” she said about the time between applications. “You basically have to be sitting out here waiting to be raped every night.” (A University of California San Francisco study found that 32% of women living outdoors reported instances of sexual or physical assault.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research backs up Ladybird’s experience. “The impact of waiting weeks, months or years in a shelter or outside rather than a home has devastating consequences for a person,” said Chris Herring, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles. “Homelessness for even short periods of time has negative impacts on people’s physical, behavioral and mental health, can strain familial and social relations, have lasting impacts on future employment opportunities, and can entangle people in the criminal justice system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the city-owned parking lot where Ladybird lived during the last year, her cheap camping tent, which rested on a wooden platform in a parking lot, got moldy during a wet winter. She developed pneumonia, and said rats would run around at night, hiding under the pallet she slept on.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I’ve had pneumonia for two months now, from black mold on my tent. My tent is literally killing me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the city said it is taking steps to mitigate delays, months of living in a wet tent site took its toll on residents. In text messages sent late one night, Ladybird described the chaos that had ensued as one of her neighbors had a mental breakdown. “This situation is getting worse by the day, it’s more twisted than anything I’ve seen in my decade out here,” she said. “I would be better off on the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation felt hopeless. “This site hasn’t placed anybody,” Ladybird said. “Anybody who’s getting out of there is doing it on their own. There’s no social worker. It’s just a dead end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Paperwork bottlenecks stall the process of moving people indoors\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While the policies of the last two years left people like Ladybird living outdoors, those living in shelter-in-place hotels haven’t always fared better, with some of them waiting more than a year to be connected to a home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marquita Stroud is one of those. She said that she has been homeless for 15 years, but that about a month before the COVID-19 outbreak began in earnest, she was approved for permanent supportive housing. “God was on my side!” she said when interviewed in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April 2020, she was relocated to the Hotel Whitcomb, a historic tourist hotel repurposed to allow people experiencing homelessness to quarantine safely. Stroud was one of 500 unhoused people the city moved from large, warehouse-style shelters into 25 hotels around town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stroud is an optimist, high-energy and cheerful, who wears her hair tied up neatly in a scarf. “It’s wet!” she exclaimed on a rainy morning, as she strode confidently down Market Street with an umbrella in one hand, pushing a cart containing her small, fluffy dog, Blue, with the other. She headed straight to a corner of the public library, a place she knows well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under COVID-19-era rules, Stroud isn’t allowed visitors where she lives, so she meets people at their apartments, outside or in public places. The prohibition on guests didn’t bother Stroud too much when she first moved in. But she felt isolated and, as the months dragged on, no one contacted her about moving into her own place. Stroud watched her friends and neighbors — many of whom arrived in the hotel the same day she did — move into permanent housing. Her turn never came.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In large part, that’s because the homelessness department’s process for reviewing and selecting unhoused people for referral is slow. And in the period when Stroud was waiting, things were markedly worse. In October 2020, 32% of vacant units had no pending referrals for a resident. In January, that ratio had more than doubled, to 66% of available units, according to the city’s own data. The department did not respond to questions about why this might be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gary ran eight buildings through DISH. In February 2021, before he stepped down, he said the problem wasn’t new, but it was getting worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Somewhere there is a bottleneck where the city is not sending us the housing application — that is, the documented representation of that person that we can process,” he said. “We report the vacancy to the city, and those vacancies languish for weeks to months without a referral of a real live human being who can be housed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least part of the problem is a shortage of case managers, who are the crucial link between vacant units and the hundreds of people approved for housing. There is frequent turnover in the high-stress positions, and nonprofits struggle to fill new job openings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stroud said she has been assigned six case managers in two years. To figure out who is assigned to her, she regularly checks a piece of paper taped to a wall in her hotel, which lists the name of the case manager assigned to each floor. She describes calling her case manager repeatedly to set up an appointment and not getting through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They pretty much don’t go knocking on your door,” Stroud said. “You got to ask for them. If I see one in the hallway — like if I see a worker talking to a client in the hallway — I always ask, ‘Are you a counselor? Are you my counselor?’ Because they don’t tell you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly two years after being approved for a housing unit, Stroud is still at the Hotel Whitcomb. Although she dreams of going back to school, publishing her journals and giving back to the homeless community, her reality is much different. She’s had items stolen from her room, and the building has fallen into disrepair. “When we first got to this hotel, it was so cute,” she said. “Now they got the bedbugs, the roaches, the mice. Every other day, the pipes are messing up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently she met a woman who had recently moved into the Whitcomb, but was already on her way out: She’d been assigned a housing unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was asking her, what did she do to get her housing that quick? And she said her counselor just came knocking on her door like, ‘You ready to go?’” Stroud said, clearly frustrated. “I haven’t talked to anyone about housing,” she said this month, as she approaches her two-year anniversary at the hotel. “I’m still here just waiting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Ladybird, she was approved for housing in November, but three months later, she is still without a home. In January, she left the tent encampment for a short-term residential hotel, but it comes with a time limit. “After 28 days, we get put out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Are you currently unhoused in San Francisco, and trying to get housing?

And I think we’ve demonstrated how to get through a pandemic,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/FitzTheReporter/status/1495232710431821826\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, he said, the community is not completely safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still have seniors who are afraid to do their morning walk, ride the bus and go the grocery store,” he said.[aside tag=\"lunar-new-year, chinese\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]Cynthia Choi with Stop AAPI Hate echoed this sentiment on a call with KQED before the event. Her organization continues to receive incident reports of hate and discrimination. “Over 60% of our respondents are women who report the harassment and discrimination,” she said. “What’s also notable is that a majority of the incidents are taking place in public spaces.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To combat that, Sen. Dave Min, D-Irvine, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/california-bills-aim-curb-anti-asian-attacks-women-vulnerable-groups-rcna16571\">introduced a bill this past week\u003c/a> to require 10 of California’s largest transit districts to study commuter harassment, and use that data to find solutions for more safety aboard transit. That’s key in San Francisco, as the Chinese community depends heavily on Muni, and \u003ca

being scapegoated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at this moment in history, Choi said there’s a general sense of pandemic fatigue: “What we are seeing everywhere is the mental health toll that this is taking on our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the organization has held several meetings to process grief, sadness, anger and the horror communities are experiencing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is why, she said, it’s so important to come together as a community and celebrate and experience joy “especially during an extended period of what we’ve felt like is a never-ending crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Healing actually happens when we’re in community, and this has never been more true,” Choi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11905930\"

Her organization continues to receive incident reports of hate and discrimination. “Over 60% of our respondents are women who report the harassment and discrimination,” she said. “What’s also notable is that a majority of the incidents are taking place in public spaces.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To combat that, Sen. Dave Min, D-Irvine, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/california-bills-aim-curb-anti-asian-attacks-women-vulnerable-groups-rcna16571\">introduced a bill this past week\u003c/a> to require 10 of California’s largest transit districts to study commuter harassment, and use that data to find solutions for more safety aboard transit. That’s key in San Francisco, as the Chinese community depends heavily on Muni, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11885947/survey-most-sf-families-living-in-chinatown-communal-housing-dont-want-their-kids-back-in-school\">fear of assaults aboard buses and trains has dissuaded some from riding\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another legislative effort to support the Asian community came from Assemblymember Evan Low, D-Campbell, and \u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/politics/lunar-new-year-a-state-holiday-in-california-bay-area-legislator-evan-low-introduces-bill/\">aims to make Lunar New Year’s Day a state holiday\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choi said it’s important to recognize that hate against the AAPI community is not new, acknowledging the historical precedent of an entire ethnic or racial group being scapegoated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at this moment in history, Choi said there’s a general sense of pandemic fatigue: “What we are seeing everywhere is the mental health toll that this is taking on our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Haney, a San Francisco supervisor, made a prediction for a likely April runoff: He thinks his more pro-development message, among other policies, may resonate more with those who voted for Mahmood or Selby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think if this were a ranked-choice race I would’ve won decisively. I think that a lot of the folks who maybe voted for Bilal or Thea are closer to where I am,” he said. “But we’ll have to make that case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s election was set in motion by the appointment of former Assemblymember David Chiu to serve as San Francisco’s city attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The four candidates quickly lined up to pursue the open office. The winner has the opportunity to become a leading progressive voice in California, by holding a seat previously battled over by Democratic stalwarts like Art Agnos, Harvey Milk, John Burton, Tom Ammiano, Mark Leno and Chiu, who defeated David Campos by a razor-thin margin back in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his second run for the seat, Campos jumped out early — forming an exploratory committee before Chiu was even appointed city attorney. Campos lined up support from the progressive flank of San Francisco politics, running on a platform of single-payer health care, a higher minimum wage and higher taxes on wealthier Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos’s early entry into the race left Haney, often a leading progressive voice against Mayor London Breed, with little choice but to pivot to the political center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two candidates’ differences were starkest on housing: While Campos argued for the preservation of local control in housing decisions, Haney promised to support changes in zoning laws to open the door for more housing development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/GuyMarzorati/status/1493826944063840256?cxt=HHwWgICpzZzskbspAAAA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Haney faced criticism for championing homeless solutions despite the Tenderloin neighborhood’s obvious struggle to house people living on the street, a neighborhood Haney represents. To those critiques, Haney said homelessness is not a problem that can be solved at the hyperlocal level, but an issue that needs state intervention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got people we get off the street by the dozens and the next day you look around and think we didn’t do anything. That’s because to solve the challenges of homelessness and drug addiction you need to solve them at the state level, the regional level,” he said. Other neighborhoods and even cities need to “do their part” to provide homeless services and housing, he added, which is something he could urge at the state level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former neuroscientist and entrepreneur, Mahmood began the campaign as a political unknown, but was able to gain traction in recent weeks with straightforward positions in favor of streamlining housing production, strict mandates for vaccinating schoolkids against COVID-19, charging fentanyl dealers with manslaughter and supporting the recall of all three San Francisco school board members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahmood’s self-funded campaign allowed him to match Haney’s fundraising throughout the race. But a handful of independent super PACs, backed by building trades and realtors, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to boost Haney and print campaign mailers bashing Campos and Mahmood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not what we were hoping for,” said Mahmood, outside of his election night party at Red’s Place in Chinatown. Addressing a crowd that had spilled onto Jackson Street, the first-time candidate said he would stay involved in politics. “I’m not going away,” he added. “I think we started something that many didn’t think was possible, and change happens with repeated runs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/FitzTheReporter/status/1493811159358603268?cxt=HHwWiICssbfVirspAAAA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Selby entered the race as the only candidate to have won a citywide election. But she struggled to establish a clear political identity in the race, testing her claim as the “public safety candidate” or “parent’s voice” at various points in the race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Haney believes he has the advantage in a runoff because of his affinity to Mahmood and Selby’s policies, Campos thinks the race may run in his favor due to a smaller turnout, which favors candidates who knock on more doors, over those who spend more cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a small special election, “that’s where the strength of your base and support is key. I think a low-turnout election has been very positive for progressive candidates who have a strong base,” Campos said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

I think that a lot of the folks who maybe voted for Bilal or Thea are closer to where I am,” he said. “But we’ll have to make that case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s election was set in motion by the appointment of former Assemblymember David Chiu to serve as San Francisco’s city attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The four candidates quickly lined up to pursue the open office. The winner has the opportunity to become a leading progressive voice in California, by holding a seat previously battled over by Democratic stalwarts like Art Agnos, Harvey Milk, John Burton, Tom Ammiano, Mark Leno and Chiu, who defeated David Campos by a razor-thin margin back in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his second run for the seat, Campos jumped out early — forming an exploratory committee before Chiu was even appointed city attorney. Campos lined up support from the progressive flank of San Francisco politics, running on a platform of single-payer health care, a higher minimum wage and higher taxes on wealthier Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos’s early entry into the race left Haney, often a leading progressive voice against Mayor London Breed, with little choice but to pivot to the political center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two candidates’ differences were starkest on housing: While Campos argued for the preservation of local control in housing decisions, Haney promised to support changes in zoning laws to open the door for more housing development.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

To those critiques, Haney said homelessness is not a problem that can be solved at the hyperlocal level, but an issue that needs state intervention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got people we get off the street by the dozens and the next day you look around and think we didn’t do anything. That’s because to solve the challenges of homelessness and drug addiction you need to solve them at the state level, the regional level,” he said. Other neighborhoods and even cities need to “do their part” to provide homeless services and housing, he added, which is something he could urge at the state level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former neuroscientist and entrepreneur, Mahmood began the campaign as a political unknown, but was able to gain traction in recent weeks with straightforward positions in favor of streamlining housing production, strict mandates for vaccinating schoolkids against COVID-19, charging fentanyl dealers with manslaughter and supporting the recall of all three San Francisco school board members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahmood’s self-funded campaign allowed him to match Haney’s fundraising throughout the race. But a handful of independent super PACs, backed by building trades and realtors, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to boost Haney and print campaign mailers bashing Campos and Mahmood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not what we were hoping for,” said Mahmood, outside of his election night party at Red’s Place in Chinatown. Addressing a crowd that had spilled onto Jackson Street, the first-time candidate said he would stay involved in politics. “I’m not going away,” he added. “I think we started something that many didn’t think was possible, and change happens with repeated runs.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
