"The Salvation Army has just opened Hope House in San Francisco, a 58-bed sober-living shelter on Sixth Street where there is zero tolerance for drugs or alcohol. And for some, it has reportedly been a welcome change. As the Chronicle reports, the shelter includes single- and double-occupancy rooms, as well as common space and a dining hall. It's designed to accommodate extended stays anywhere from 90 days to a year."
"Case managers on site will help residents with housing assistance, life skills training, and there will be recovery support groups as well, with the goal of helping people exit homelessness and get on a path to long-term recovery, per the Chronicle. In a city where shelters have typically been more laissez-faire, with the goal of being accessible to the maximum number of people, Hope House marks a different approach."
Hope House is a 58-bed sober-living shelter on Sixth Street with single- and double-occupancy rooms, common spaces, and a dining hall. The facility accommodates extended stays from 90 days up to a year and accepts referrals from city outreach workers. On-site case managers provide housing assistance, life skills training, and recovery support groups to help residents exit homelessness and pursue long-term recovery. Salvation Army enforces zero tolerance for drugs and alcohol, conducts random drug screenings, and transfers residents who test positive to other shelters. The program is abstinence-based rather than harm-reduction and targets those seeking a sober environment.
