In September, the San Francisco Department of Public Health (DPH) released a four-part plan on how it aims to reduce overdose deaths, which remain at epidemic levels in San Francisco.
The clock is now ticking for San Francisco to open up new overdose prevention facilities before San Francisco's only operating safe consumption site, the Tenderloin Center, closes in December.
On average, about 400 people visit the Tenderloin Center every day, according to city data. There, people can use drugs in a supervised setting where staff monitor and reverse overdoses, pick up clean drug supplies to cut down on infection and sharing, and get access to voluntary treatment and housing options.
Can a new San Francisco drug testing program help keep users safe? A new San Francisco program called Scope aims to provide people with tools to know what compounds are in their drugs before they use them. But a gap in overdose prevention services for when the Tenderloin Center closes is not certain, and city officials stress they working to prevent it.
SFDPH told the Examiner it is still planning to open the first wellness hub by the end of the year. But they have not yet secured a location or opening date for the first wellness hub. SFDPH declined to comment on Preston’s resolution. “We are continuing to work with the federal government on options. We don’t have an update to offer today but the office is continuing to explore,” said Noel Sanchez, a spokesperson for Mayor Breed.
