Recovery 1st: Our mid-year Impact Report continues to demonstrate success. In just 6 months:
• 990 people served
• 54,903 nights of homelessness reduced
• 79% success rate
From the streets to self-sufficiency, this is what a Recovery System of Care delivers.
Adonis was shot 5 times, stabbed 3 times, and wrapped up in San Francisco gang life. From state prison to a life in recovery full of hope. @TheWayOutSF is transforming San Francisco one life at a time. #RealRecovery
It's simple. If you want to keep federal troops out of San Francisco, remove the organized drug dealers and 80% of the problem goes away. If you don't, you reap what you sow.
San Francisco asked for more recovery. @salvationarmysf and @SF_DPH delivered.
"The former Marina Inn on the corner of Octavia and Lombard streets in the city's Marina District soon will be known as Wells Place, an addiction recovery facility."

SF is turning the Marina Inn into 68 beds of drug-free transitional housing with strict rules, helping people in recovery stay sober and rebuild their lives. It deserves support, says 3-term supervisor Bill Maher https://t.co/qH25IrgjvG
Today, I signed the Recovery First Ordinance. This legislation makes long-term recovery the main goal of San Francisco’s approach to substance use treatment—defining recovery as living a healthy, self-directed life, free from illegal drug use. Thank you Supervisor @mattdorsey, our partners in public health and public safety, and to the recovery community that is fighting to build a safer, healthier, and more hopeful city for everyone.
Today, Westside Community Services, the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, and The Salvation Army opened James Baldwin Place, an abstinence-based recovery housing program. Thank you, Westside Community Services for making us a partner in this meaningful project.
One of the strongest advocates for recovery locally tells it like it is. @SteveAdami leads the charge @salvationarmysf@TheWayOutSF these people are getting it done with the lowest cost and highest success rate of recovery. Recovery first.
Drug-free recovery housing should not be controversial. We're in the business of saving and changing people's lives. Thank you, @abc7newsbayarea, for highlighting our work in recovery! @salvationarmysf@SteveAdami@DarrenNorton20

“We are excited to expand our drug-free housing, which blend opportunity and accountability, offer onsite recovery supportive services, and help break the cruel cycle of homelessness and drug addiction,” said Steve Adami of the Salvation Army. @SteveAdami https://t.co/S8iq5wAV8k
Today, @DanielLurie shared his progress from his first 100 days in office. In just a few months, he has begun transforming San Francisco — tackling the drug and homeless crisis, prioritizing public safety, recovery, community, and families. San Francisco is back!
The national organization opposing my “Recovery First” ordinance praises drug dealers as “harm reductionists” and demands that they be included at “every step of the policymaking process.”
So, I’m today urging my colleagues to reject the Drug Policy Alliance’s advocacy. (1/2)
@Twolfrecovery Wait a minute! Walton wants Housing First and Harm Reduction everywhere but his district? The Bayview is in desperate need of @CeddieHussle! It’s time for our City to come together to get people off the streets and inside to a safe and healthy environment.
Health and wellness are key components to our Recovery Housing program. From onsite weight rooms to partnerships with local running clubs, we’re focused on holistic care. This is The Way Out. @salvationarmysf
Other NGO's take your money and do nothing. The Salvation Army's homeless initiative takes your money, teaches people in recovery new job skills and then feeds the community. That's the difference. @TheWayOutSF@garrytan@Benioff
