San Francisco officials push for drug-free housing in reversal of 'drug-permissive' policies: Report

Lawmakers in San Francisco announced plans Monday to introduce legislation that would allow unrestricted state funds to go towards drug-free housing, according to a recent report. The bill — led by San Francisco supervisors Matt Dorsey and Rafael Mandelman — would be a reversal of previous years of drug-tolerant policy including a 2016 law in California, Housing First, that prohibited state funding for 'sober housing,' instead requiring support for 'drug-permissive' housing.

SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR PUSHES ADDICTION SCREENING FOR WELFARE RECIPIENTS, NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR POLICE Anti-drug and recovery experts, including Joshua Brathwaite, also signaled support for sober housing measures. 'I’ve been sober for 16 months, but I can’t find any available drug-free housing that can give me the programming and support I need to continue being sober,' Brathwaite said in Haney's April press release.
