Mayor London Breed's office is taking steps to potentially open a supervised consumption facility — a victory for advocates who've been pushing her to declare a state of emergency around San Francisco's drug overdose crisis.
The San Francisco Chronicle broke the story November 16. Subsequently, Breed spokesperson Jordan Wilson told the Bay Area Reporter that Breed introduced legislation to the Board of Supervisors Tuesday that, if approved, authorizes the purchase of a site in the Tenderloin that could be used for that purpose.
The site, at the corner of Geary and Hyde streets, consists of an 8,875 square foot building and an adjacent 2,186 square foot parking lot, Wilson stated.
