Sharifa Rahman, a mental health worker at San Francisco's Behavioral Health Center, expresses deep concern over the impending relocation of 83 long-term residents to two new facilities. The city argues that the transition is thoughtful, but staff and families fear that moving these vulnerable individuals, who often struggle with chronic conditions, could lead to detrimental effects on their mental well-being and care quality. Demonstrations have occurred to protest this decision, highlighting the deep emotional ties and home-like environment the center provides.
The move is a devastating decision for our most vulnerable citizens, who have found a safe haven here. They deserve security in a transitional phase, not upheaval.
The city calls this transition 'thoughtful', but families are rightfully concerned that such a drastic change could jeopardize the health and safety of their loved ones.
