By the time 15-yr-old Jázmin Pellegrini was found dead in an SF driveway last April, Chronicle reporters Cynthia Dizikes and Joaquin Palomino had spent months investigating for-profit psychiatric hospitals. They soon found her story epitomized the crisis inside these facilities.

Spoke to a local veterinarian receptionist who recalled Miranda’s Rescue brining in so many animals she was told to change the form from “euthanasia” to “sleep.” Eventually, she said, the vet curbed how many dogs Miranda could bring in.

Part 3: The unbelievable story of the two women who broke the law and forced the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office to launch an investigation into Miranda’s Rescue. For years they hated each other. But they realized they hated Shannon Miranda more. sfchronicle.com/projects/202…

🚨 For the last three months I investigated Miranda’s Rescue, the site of a mass dog grave in Northern California. I uncovered decades of turning a blind eye to serious animal welfare concerns. Here’s the first story: 🚨 sfchronicle.com/projects/202…

BOMBSHELL: San Francisco moving to dissolve multimillion-dollar funding of HomeRise — once called gold standard for public housing for the formerly homeless — following investigation by @sfchronicle and @UCBerkeleyIRP. By @susieneilson @mitchell_m22494 sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti…

Must be mentioned that the Mayor and his administration were pushed to act here by the dogged investigative work in recent months of @susieneilson @mitchell_m22494 @mgafni and @mdbarba of the Chronicle and @UCBerkeleyIRP as well as @Aisha_Mccain
When I took office, we set out to completely transform the city’s work around homelessness, drugs, and behavioral health—bringing urgency and accountability to every part of the system. San Franciscans should have confidence that public dollars are producing real results. So when a provider isn’t keeping residents safe or providing effective services, we need to make a change. Due to HomeRise's continued failures, the city is taking steps to transition four programs to new providers who can deliver. When an organization gets taxpayer dollars to deliver services for San Franciscans, our administration is going to hold them accountable. Thank you to Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing Executive Director Mike Levine and his team for leading this work with compassion and accountability for every resident in San Francisco. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti…

A testament to @mitchell_m22494 and @susieneilson's exceptional reporting on willful disfunction in Homerise's supportive housing system.

In April, Brad Chapin called S.F. supes candidate Manny Yekutiel, trying to get him to admit that in 2020, at a party, Yekutiel grabbed his genitals without consent — which Yekutiel denies. Listening in on the call was a police detective. By @alyce_mcf sfchronicle.com/sf/article/m…
