New numbers are out and Mayor London Breed says the city's homeless tent count has fallen to a new five-year low.Breed hopes others are noticing too, fewer homeless tents around San Francisco.
"I'm very encouraged what this means for our city, looking for more momentum getting people off the streets and into housing, more importantly not allowing those who refuse service to continue to take over the streets of San Francisco," said Breed.Szymikewicz says he's noticed a change."Only when there's a visitor or head of state, that's the only time streets have been clean," said Marilyn Cooper.
The new data comes amid the city's ongoing legal battle with the Coalition on Homelessness over encampment clearing protocols, during which a federal judge issued an injunction which sets guidelines for the city's approach to clearing encampments."The city continues to focus on tents - those aren't human beings," said Jennifer Friedenbach from Coalition on Homelessness.
"I hope we don't go backwards, we need laws on the books, we need the ability to enforce these laws," said Breed.
