SFF's Khanh Russo worked with an @SFNext team which proposed a new model to help people experiencing homelessness who need immediate medical and behavioral health supports. Check out the details below.
Replying to @SFNext
S.F.’s homeless shelter system is in crisis. A new model is needed. Enter the stabilization center, a safe place for people to rest and treat their medical and behavioral health for up to 30 days. Here’s why it offers a better model. 12/15 sfchronicle.com/sf/article/h…

330 days. That's the average number of days it takes San Francisco to move an unhoused person into housing *after* they have applied for it. Another case of bureaucracy impeding outcomes in our city. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/h…

I’m humbled by tenacity, courage of @meganrcassidy and @gabriellelurie. Local news survives and thrives with more journalists like them. Lastly, thanks to our subscribers who make it possible for a local news org to do this kind of work. sfchronicle.com/projects/202…

San Francisco’s leaders are on the hot seat as they try to solve a problem rooted in global inequality and fueled by fentanyl. And much of what has been tried before has failed. So a solution won't come easily. sfchronicle.com/projects/202…

ICYMI @SFNext Fixing Our City spoke to three San Francisco high school students about their visions for SF. "I love San Francisco. I love the Bay Area. But when it's my time to go to college, I will be leaving because it's just too much here." trib.al/YkOzJQZ

Office real estate values are plunging in the work-from-home era. This matters to the whole city. Why? Because, as I learned from @arpitrage, of the potential for an urban doom loop. Tomorrow, I'm moderating a conversation about avoiding the doom! Mini 🧵: sfchronicle.com/podcasts/art…

Had a great conversation with the folks at the SF Chronicle (in person in downtown SF) about the urban doom loop!
NEW EPISODE of #FixingOurCity. With so many workers staying home, downtown San Francisco is at risk of falling into an “urban doom loop.” That would hurt residents across the board, not just downtown landlords, says @NYUStern professor @arpitrage. 🧵1/6 sfchronicle.com/podcasts/art…

"There's a little bit of desolation in the air." Great new episode of @SFNext Fixing Our City about why a teacher, a janitor and YOU should care about downtown real estate — and how S.F. can avoid a "doom loop." sfchronicle.com/podcasts/art…

An important part of @SFNext is to open smart conversations about the city’s long-term woes. This piece on housing red tape is well worth your time. sfchronicle.com/opinion/open… via @sfchronicle

My latest column: San Francisco, named for the patron saint of animals and filled with animal lovers, has never named an official city animal. What do you think it should be? @peterhartlaub and I are putting it up for a vote, March Madness style. #TotalSF sfchronicle.com/sf/bayarea/h…
