"The principle of geographic equity is important, and one the Tenderloin community has been advocating for years. We are now exploring siting more effective services, like sober centers, outside of the Tenderloin or through expansions of existing sites."
"The decision to close was to lessen the 'negative impact' on the Lower Nob Hill neighborhood. Residents in the area have sought to close the shelter at 711 Post for years, claiming that street conditions have deteriorated as a result of its presence there."
San Francisco is closing several homeless shelters, including the Adante and Monarch hotels, resulting in a loss of over 450 shelter beds.
