The Bayview RV Triage Center, launched in January 2022 to support homeless individuals in San Francisco, is set to close after a disappointing three-year period marred by underutilization and logistical challenges. Originally promised as a safe space, the facility's prohibitive conditions deterred RV residents, and its staggering $15 million cost was labelled as the city's most expensive homeless response initiative. As the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing prepares for closure, efforts are being made to assist residents with alternative housing and relocation, while concerns regarding the remaining vehicles and debris persist.
"If something's not working, you're supposed to end it and move on. Like, we don't want to just keep doing something that is demonstrating that it's not working."
"I think that that's what government is supposed to do. Offer housing, alternative shelter, relocation assistance, or some form of rental subsidies is essential for those impacted."
