The Tenderloin Center went from being lauded as the cornerstone of change to being treated like a pop-up clinic.
. In a fiery address, she vowed to crack down on outdoor drug use, get more people into treatment and clean up streets and sidewalks.
“My biggest criticism is not closing a center that was quite expensive and had its fair share of issues, but it’s closing that without a plan for what comes next. That makes no sense to me,” said Supervisor Dean Preston, whose district now includes the Tenderloin. “The entire thing was very poorly planned, and that kind of lack of planning didn’t need to happen.”Since 2020, the number of fatal overdoses is 76% higher than deaths related to COVID-19 in San Francisco.
“Mayor Breed has said The City tried something new, knowing there would be successes and lessons learned, and an opportunity to build and grow from there,” Noel Sanchez, a mayoral spokesperson, said in an email. “Our initiative is still underway. The transition from crisis operations to sustained operations in July 2022 represented The City’s ongoing commitment to the Tenderloin.”
Supervisors plan to fast-track opening ‘wellness hubs’ with supervised consumption San Francisco leaders looking to speed up the opening of 12 “wellness hubs” that would provide supervised drug consumption in communities most affected by the opioid crisis. On Dec. 9, the Department of Public Health paused its plans for replacement supervised consumption sites at planned wellness hubs, which The City announced in September would cover some of the services that the Tenderloin Center offered.“I believe that Mayor Breed also believes in this model. So what happened? The city attorney said that he was for this.
Bransten and leaders at the SF AIDS Foundation, another nonprofit that was preparing to help offer supervised consumption services at a wellness hub, said they were shocked and confused about why The City pulled the plug on opening new supervised consumption sites. In New York, safe consumption services are privately funded, shifting the legal risk off of the government to service providers. Bransten said her nonprofit was ready to implement such a model in partnership with the Department of Public Health and take on those costs and risks.
