The Facts

San Francisco will receive about $100 million for three treatment projects, Sydney Johnson at KQED reports. That will fund 56 psychiatric beds at Hyde Hospital, 44 treatment beds on Treasure Island, and a sobering center at 1660 Mission. Statewide, Prop 1 will fund 6,919 residential treatment beds and 27,561 outpatient slots.

The Context

This builds on San Francisco’s earlier 73-bed award from Prop 1.

GrowSF backed Yes on Proposition 1 in the March 5, 2024 primary because of its promise to fund treatment facilities, recovery housing, and other behavioral-health infrastructure.

The GrowSF Take

More locked beds, dual-diagnosis treatment, and sobering capacity are exactly the kinds of investments San Francisco needs. The pressure is now on City Hall to execute: staff these sites, open them fast, and use them to move people off the street and into care.
