"Our goal, as I've said is consistently, to get people into treatment and support that they need," said Mayor London Breed."They are the ones that are most at risk for fatal overdoses. We should be doing everything we can," said Supervisor Matt Dorsey. "I think we should fund the beds at Harbor Light. There is definitely a need for it when you look at our overdose death rate. They are just getting worse," said Stefani during a sit down interview with ABC7 news.
"They work hand in hand, but they are not the same," said Dr. David Pating of the San Francisco Department of Public Health. At that point they can ask for help to get into treatment, otherwise, they are back on the streets. Nothing is mandated and nothing comes with conditions."So to make the argument, if you did not exist, what would happen to the people who are using drugs out here?""Well, they would be in isolation, in alleyways, they'd be on the streets, they would be on the sidewalks, and they would be in crisis from substance use," McCoy said.
