Okay so— you know how Supervisor Dorsey from District 2 has been pushing that plan to only fund homeless housing that's actually drug-free? Well, there's a new state law that just dropped, and it might actually give his proposal some serious teeth.
### Dorsey's Drug-Free Housing Plan Gets a Boost
This isn't just talk anymore. The city's been grappling with how to address the crisis on our streets, and a lot of folks, especially in places like the Marina and Pacific Heights, have been vocal about the need for more accountability in services. Dorsey's plan, which has been making the rounds since at least early April, aims to shift funding primarily to programs that require sobriety. The new state law, according to the city's media releases from Monday, April 13, 2026, could provide the legal backing to make that happen.
Here’s why this matters:
* **State-level support:** It’s not just a local push now; the state stepping in changes the game.
* **Focus on outcomes:** This legislation could force a more direct focus on the efficacy of housing programs.
* **Funding shifts:** Expect a shake-up in how non-profits receive city money for homeless services.
It’s a big deal for how the City approaches one of its most visible challenges. We'll have to watch closely to see how this translates into actual policy changes and, more importantly, how it impacts the folks living on the street.
