Great article in the @sfexaminer about our Hygiene Hub by @sydneyfjohnson: "The hub is estimated to provide up to 20,000 showers and 10,000 laundered loads annually."

"He just never gave up"

Here's our obituary on Brian Edwards, a fierce ally for the unhoused, who was uniquely able to rise above the noise of city politics and garner the respect of many-- from his fellow advocates on the ground to top brass in City Hall

New: San Francisco will extend its emergency hotel room program for the homeless until Sept. 2022.

The city estimates that extension will cost $67 million, $46 mill which they expect FEMA to cover. That leaves SF on the hook for $21 million.

Call in this Wednesday to save the SIP Hotels!
The SIP Hotel program has given thousands of people a safe place to stay during the pandemic. There is no reason to shut them down while we are still receiving funding from the Federal government.

@DannySauter @phillip_dupree @andres_salerno Just DM’d!

Friends, please consider if you have extra warm clothes to donate. Wet days like these are the most difficult on our unhoused neighbors.

[North Beach Citizens @NBcitizens]

This weekend’s storm took a toll on our unhoused neighbors. Please consider bringing warm clothes and blankets to our office at 1034 Kearny St so we can warm up those affected and make sure they leave with enough clothes to get them through the week

Exciting news - This acquisition just passed the Board of Supervisors! Looking forward to housing more folks exiting homelessness https://t.co/IRWKBv4w28 via @sfchronicle

[North Beach Citizens @NBcitizens]

They put on an incredible show! Thank you @clubfugazisf and @Les7Doigts for providing the incredible entertainment for our fall event, I have a feeling we’ll be seeing you around the neighborhood for a long time to come 😉

Review: New circus show "Dear San Francisco" is love letter to city and the human body https://t.co/5F9867DNVQ

[North Beach Citizens @NBcitizens]

This is simply too many vacancies while San Franciscans are still sleeping on the streets. With the end of the eviction moratorium, the crisis is going to deepen. We are the richest city in the world, if our system isn't getting results let's be creative and try something new.

[North Beach Citizens @NBcitizens]

Come celebrate Italian Heritage with us this upcoming Sunday! After the big community-wide party in North Beach, we are hosting an exclusive benefit performance of @The7Fingers new show at @clubfugazisf. Tickets still available, hope to see everyone there! https://t.co/AbXNh0DInF

We have seen first hand how much SIP hotels have helped some of our clients. Hopefully the city can utilize this historic moment to expand our housing stock and begin addressing our homelessness crisis with the urgency that our vulnerable neighbors deserve.

[Coalition on Homelessness @TheCoalitionSF]

237 units of permanent supportive housing go before
@sfbos
9/29 and 10/6 - including 40 for homeless families.

The city also has vacant hotel rooms that should be used for people living on the streets.

Join us to tell the Supervisors YES to #HotelstoHousing and #KeepSIPsOpen

[North Beach Citizens @NBcitizens]

SIP hotels have been invaluable to our work for this reason. The closing of these hotels, accompanied with the end of eviction protections for tenants, means that our homelessness crisis is about to get worse before it gets better.

[Sydney Johnson @sydneyfjohnson]

UCSF researchers say health services at SIP hotels have helped lower substance use and ER visits among residents. But much of that progress is at stake now as the emergency shelter program winds down. My latest: https://t.co/2nYqdQ0RNS

[North Beach Citizens @NBcitizens]

We are looking forward to continuing our work with housing providers across the city to get people off the street. We can't waste this historic moment with extensive local, state, and federal funding.

This is a wonderful breakdown of the Mayor's homelessness budget by Zak Franet. This is a historic investment in people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity.

The money will be there, the next step is putting in the work.

As an organization that fights every day to get our clients housing, we want to be clear:

Low income and houseless individuals deserve to live in high-opportunity neighborhoods, and shouldn't just be exiled to places where affluent people don't want them.

[North Beach Citizens @NBcitizens]

@mOppenheimORG Thanks for the great write up!
