Since July 5, Ahsing Solutions has deployed workers in the Mission every day from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Their roles include cleaning streets, deterring illegal activities, reversing overdoses, and connecting vulnerable populations to city services. The organization is viewed as a "force multiplier" for city efforts. A six-month contract of $498,267 is in place, with hopes for ongoing funding. Ahsing's presence has already restored order and reduced illegal vending significantly, with clear alleys reported over the weekend for the first time in months.
Starting on July 5, six to eight workers from Ahsing Solutions have come to the Mission every day from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. to clean the streets, deter illegal activity, reverse overdoses, and connect homeless people and drug users to city services.
Though they signed a six-month contract, the hope is for the city to fund Ahsing's presence in the Mission long-term. The $498,267 contract pays each worker $26,000.
