"The decision has been met with backlash from Bayview leaders, citing concerns of exploitation in their community. "First, the mayor tried to turn Jerrold into a 200-bed shelter site with no RV parking and no community input. Now, he's trying to quietly drop in cabins from the Mission and talk about expansion later," Walton said. "At no point has this administration come back to the community in good faith for this decision.""
"The department said it intends to notify and work with current residents at Jerrold Commons and community members for any future efforts to fill the cabins or make other changes to the site. "The city will conduct a robust community engagement process before activating the cabins at any future site or making any changes to the operations at Jerrold," Cohen said."
San Francisco plans to relocate about 60 vacant tiny-home cabins from a former Mission District shelter site to Jerrold Commons, a temporary shelter in the Bayview neighborhood. The cabins are not slated for immediate occupancy. Bayview leaders and Supervisor Shamann Walton say the move exploits the Bayview community and proceeded without meaningful community input. The city's Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing reports about 60 tiny-home cabins currently house residents at Jerrold Commons and says the department will notify and work with current residents and community members before any future activation. The city pledges a robust community engagement process before activating cabins or changing operations at Jerrold.
