Homeless encampments are on the rise in San Francisco, especially now, with the novel coronavirus pandemic increasing unemployment and threatening shelter space.
The newest site was announced for the area of Stanyan and Haight streets on the east of Golden Gate Park, in an unused lot owned by the city. The location, announced May 15, is the second Safe Sleeping Village to open since this effort began. The first was opened near City Hall earlier this month.The sites will be monitored 24/7 and enforce social distancing with white outlines for each tent. Bathrooms, hand-washing stations, showers and meals will also be provided.
Dean Preston, San Francisco District 5 supervisor, said the homeless problem in the city has gotten much worse during the COVID-19 crisis. Preston represents the area where the second Safe Sleeping Village was opened. At San Francisco's largest homeless shelter, Saint Vincent De Paul Society's Multi Service Center South, 95 homeless people and 10 staff members tested positive for the coronavirus in early April. The center was closed for less than two weeks, but underwent a deep cleaning and has new socially distanced beds in place.
