A new behavioral health center at 822 Geary Street opened by San Francisco's Department of Public Health aims to treat unhoused individuals facing behavioral health crises. Local residents express cautious optimism about the facility's potential to ease the burden on already crowded low-income neighborhoods. The center is part of a broader initiative called "Breaking the Cycle," designed to provide critical mental health and drug treatment support to those in need, expanding its capacity to serve more individuals over time. It emphasizes the need for equitable distribution of service resources across different neighborhoods.
The stabilization site is part of Mayor Daniel Lurie's "Breaking the Cycle" program to reduce street homelessness and connect more people to drug treatment and mental health care.
Josefsson expressed hope for the new facility, noting that it's vital for neighborhoods to share the responsibility of addressing mental health and homelessness.
