With new powers, SF Mayor Daniel Lurie announces 1st project to address fentanyl crisis
Briefly

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie has acquired new authority to address homelessness and the fentanyl crisis effectively. He signed legislation allowing his office to bypass the usual Board of Supervisors approval for related projects. The first initiative involves transforming a vacant retail space in the Tenderloin neighborhood into a behavioral health crisis center, which will offer 24/7 medical and psychiatric care. The center aims to assist approximately 25 people daily. This ordinance also enables city officials to seek donations for related efforts, enhancing the city's responsiveness to the urgent issues of homelessness and drug crises.
