Lawmakers in San Francisco have put forth a new bill that aims to allocate state funds towards drug-free housing options. This legislation, led by supervisors Matt Dorsey and Rafael Mandelman, marks a shift from previous drug-tolerant policies, such as the 2016 California law known as Housing First, which favored drug-permissive housing.
During a recent news conference, Mandelman emphasized the importance of providing support for individuals experiencing homelessness to lead healthy and productive lives, rather than merely addressing immediate survival needs.
