San Francisco (KGO) – In San Francisco, some residents are announcing a victory after withdrawing their plan to move the city to a mental health service center to their neighborhood.
“Here is a lot of drug use, there are many mental health problems and it is Zero,” said Rudy Carpoose Junior, executive director of non -influential United Plays.
During the epidemic, the city rented several hotels in Soma and turned them into shelter for the homeless population. Residents say it attracted more crimes.
“There were always 10-20 drug dealers with 10-20 drug dealers in front of our own center,” said Carla Laurel, executive director of the West Bay Pelipino Multi-Service Center.
Unfornalized people like West Bay and United Players serve young people in the neighborhood and were among many who pushed back when the city tried to move its mental health center from 1380 Howard St. to 1125 missions.
“When there is a development here, especially when there are services that are being provided for mental health or addiction – it is always in our neighborhood,” Laurel said.

We saw the area and met a drug treatment center, a permanent auxiliary housing complex, a city health center, a city in a city, as well as a number of unprofitable people in the same radius.
Carpos said, “We don’t have to include another program
After opposition to the community, the San Francisco Department of Health withdrew its plan, and partially said:
“The best way to achieve these goals after a widespread community feedback is to keep the behavior health access center on 1380 Howard Street.”
Supervisor Matt Dorsie, who is also addicted to drugs, was clear about the project in his district.
The supervisor Dorsi said, “At the end of the day, Prope 1 did not feel good about the use of $ 10 million in props to transfer services. We already offer four blocks to a better real estate deal, it is not just why I voted top 1.”

Now, city officials are hoping that those funds are still available.
The supervisor Dorsi said, “It is my understanding that the city is asking the state to consider it postponed.”
For now, the center of mental health will remain at 1380 Howard Cents.
Loose drinks: “Where do you think the city should keep this center?”
Rudy Corpoos Junior: “This is a good question. I want to sit with them at the drawing table and make a map of it because no one wants in their neighborhood. No one.”
Full Statement of San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH):
“In SFDPH, we, with every decision, our aim is to effectively connect San Franciscan with the resources they need to live a stable and healthy life, while working with communities to support our palaces. Widespread community feedback, we have the best way to achieve these goals.
