San Francisco gets $100M in state funding for addiction and mental health services
San Francisco is receiving nearly $100 million in state Proposition 1 funding to address addiction and mental health issues for people living on the streets, Mayor Daniel Lurie announced Thursday.
The state funding will extend treatment and recovery services at three sites, including a sobering center and two in-patient treatment facilities.
“The expansion at UCSF will give our front line workers another critical tool to help those who need it and keep people and our neighborhood safer with funding for new treatment and the recovery center on Treasure Island,” Lurie said. “San Francisco will continue expanding our capacity to help people get on a long term path to stability.”
A portion of the funds will also add dozens of addiction treatment beds to a facility on Treasure Island. Construction on that project is set to start this next winter.
