Good afternoon!
It’s good that Mayor Lurie is dropping his unrealistic campaign pledge to set up 1,500 more shelter beds, writes Joe Eskenazi. But will residents accept his new approachโa smaller number of beds tailored for specific needs?
The Board of Supervisors will take a final vote tomorrow on giving Lurie power to shift Prop C money from permanent supportive housing toward those shelter beds. See Marina Newman‘s smart analysis of why this matters so much.
If you were wondering who’s behind Ahsing Solutions, the private firm recently contracted to be a “force multiplier” for the city’s crackdown around 16th Street, Io Yeh Gilman has a report.
Hey, Mission Local’s own Liliana Michelena is going to share her stories about the amazing El Farolito soccer team at StoryFest this Saturday. Get your tickets now!
More soon,
