District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton has publicly criticized Mayor Daniel Lurie's decision to expand homelessness services at 2177 Jerrold Ave, arguing that it unfairly concentrates resources in the already oversaturated Bayview neighborhood. Walton asserts that the site will see 68 shelter beds as part of Phase I of the Jerrold Commons, despite a growing frustration that this approach ignores the broader needs of the city and suggests a unilateral decision-making process from the mayor. The expansion is set to reduce RV parking and consolidate services, which Walton claims goes against community support and equitable service distribution.
District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton criticized Mayor Daniel Lurie's expansion of homelessness capacity at 2177 Jerrold Ave, labeling it as a tyrannical decision-making process.
Lurie is moving forward with plans for 68 new shelter beds despite Walton's concerns that the Bayview is already oversaturated with homeless services.
This expansion will remove RV parking spots and further concentrate homeless services in the Bayview, which already houses a large percentage of the city's homeless population.
Walton's frustration stems from a belief that homeless services should be more equally distributed across different neighborhoods, rather than being concentrated in the Bayview.
