"Efforts to Combat Homelessness in San Francisco and King County"

TL;DR
San Francisco has opened a new 70-bed residential program on Treasure Island for people struggling with mental health and substance use disorders. The program will provide clients with transitional recovery housing for up to two years following completion of a residential treatment for substance use disorder. The beds will add to the city’s existing 2,200 behavioral health beds as part of SFDPH’s commitment to care for and treat people who struggle with mental health and substance use. The program is part of the city's larger efforts to provide comprehensive substance use treatment for San Franciscans while also addressing conditions on the streets.
