In San Francisco, multiple families, including Karina Ortiz and her own, face imminent eviction due to a recently reinstated 90-day limit for shelter stays. Many of these families are at risk of returning to the streets as the city has offered no alternatives for housing once their shelter terms expire. A letter delivered to the mayor expressed their distress, asking for immediate action and denouncing the lack of options that could lead to their potential homelessness, especially as the new policy echoes pre-pandemic practices.
The families facing eviction expressed deep concern over the city's new policy, stating that receiving eviction notices without any alternatives puts their children at risk of homelessness.
Deborah Bouck, from the Department of Homeless and Supportive Housing, noted that the return to a 90-day limit in shelters is a reinstatement of pre-pandemic policies that aimed at regulating shelter usage.
