Vanguard Lab, a harm reduction and activist space in San Francisco, closed after losing a $250,000 federal grant from the Department of Government Efficiency. This was part of broader cuts affecting multiple organizations, including the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and GLIDE, which provide critical services for substance use treatment. As new mayoral initiatives aim to address drug addiction in the city, the loss of funding leaves these organizations struggling to operate and continue their necessary programs, highlighting the statewide impact of these grant reductions.
"Vanguard was one of 102 organizations in the state funded by Hear Us, a federal grant... to expand access to behavioral health recovery services."
"The grant funded ambitious programs across California, and we know that the loss we have experienced is multiplied across the state."
