San Francisco is adjusting its strategy for addressing drug use and homelessness by deploying collaborative street teams comprising city staff and police officers. These teams are designed to respond to service calls and assist unhoused individuals in securing shelter. Mayor Daniel Lurie is evaluating their effectiveness, seeking additional data on outcomes following initial interactions with the teams. As part of the expansion, new teams will be introduced, and officials aim to clarify success measures amid critique from local leaders regarding accountability.
"I see genuine efforts to do something different. But we have to be able to tell San Franciscans, what are our measures of success?"
"The city is expanding the use of street teams, and it needs more data to understand how well they work."
