RESTORATIVE PATHWAYS NEWSLETTER

OCTOBER EDITION

This time of year, I think a lot about what “home” really means. For the people we serve, it often starts with something simple: a safe place to sleep, someone who believes in them, and the chance to begin again.

In this issue, you’ll meet Kerri, who this month celebrates one year of recovery. You’ll also get a first look at Home for the Holidays, our online auction running November 1-10.

“I’m still writing it”: Kerri’s Story

When Kerri first came to Restorative Pathways, she was struggling with fentanyl addiction and wasn’t sure she would make it. Then came the moment that changed everything. After an overdose that took four doses of Narcan to bring her back, she woke up to see her service dog, Rebel, beside her and terrified.

“I realized that my addiction wasn’t only hurting me,” she says. “It was hurting someone who loved and depended on me completely.”

She walked away from fentanyl that day. The program gave her structure, and people who understood what she was going through. Just as important, it taught her she didn’t have to do this alone.

This month, Kerri celebrates one year sober. She is now working toward a role supporting others in recovery.

“Recovery isn’t just about stopping a drug,” she says. “It’s about finding a reason to live.”

And Rebel is still right beside her.

Stories like Kerri’s happen one day at a time, and so does the support behind them. A monthly gift helps keep recovery support steady, so the next person who walks through our doors finds people ready to walk with them.

An online auction for Restorative Pathways · November 1 to 10

Lend a Hand This Season

Volunteer your time.

We’re building our crisis line back up, and we need people who can be a steady voice for someone in crisis. It takes some training to get started, and it’s some of the most meaningful work you can do. A few hours a month makes a real difference.

We also welcome hands-on help at Solara House, from meal preparation to community events.

We are expanding drug-free permanent supportive housing in San Francisco, thanks to legislation authored by District 6 Supervisor Matt Dorsey.  

Our administration is transforming how the city confronts the homelessness and behavioral health crisis. We are not just getting people off the streets—we are helping them achieve long-term stability and recovery by standing up the right kind of housing and connecting them to the services they need. 

Unsheltered homelessness is at its lowest level in 15 years. We have consolidated street outreach teams, increased shelter placements by 40%, and stood up more than 600 new treatment-focused beds. Today's legislation builds on that momentum.

Thank you Supervisor Matt Dorsey for your leadership and partnership, our city is expanding and accelerating these critical efforts to keep San Franciscans safe and deliver better outcomes for our city’s most vulnerable residents.
