The fate of safe consumption sites in San Francisco is under fire as the Tenderloin Center nears close.
In one month, the only safe consumption site in San Francisco will close. When it does, city bureaucracy cannot promise when or where its services will return.
Before the meeting, a group of stakeholders including the Safer Inside Coalition, Supervisor Dean Preston and clients of the Tenderloin Linkage Center rallied on the steps of City Hall on Thursday to implore city government to act with urgency — because"this is a matter of survival." According to researchers at RTI International, no overdose deaths have been recorded at any supervised consumption site out of over 200 sites globally — whereas the City reached at least 451 overdose deaths by October.
The Health Department answered that should the center close on Dec 5, clients will be"warmly handed off" to other community support groups.
