Good afternoon! Here’s the latest:
Gustavo Hernandez walks around the 16th St. Plaza on the 51st day of the crackdown with Santiago Lerma, the outreach lead of the Mission Street Team. Read about coordinated efforts to get people into shelter and medical care.
Meanwhile, residents at La Fenix, an affordable housing complex at Mission and 16th managed by Bridge Housing, say their homes remain unsafeโdespite outreach workers and police presence. La Fenix is connected to a school, and parents and residents say strangers regularly enter the complex.
There’s only one Walgreens pharmacy left in the Mission, and patients can wait 45 minutes to pick up a prescription. We look at the fallout from store closures and chronic understaffing.
Marina Newman visits the Hunters Point Shipyard studios, former Navy barracks where 300 artists have worked for 41 years despite leaky roofs, no running water, and the risk of radioactive exposure. Take a peek inside.
More soon,
Sara
