Overview
- The structures were removed from 16th and Mission to clear the parcel for a long-planned affordable housing development.
- The Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing says the cabins will sit in temporary storage at Jerrold Commons with no clients housed during that period.
- Supervisor Shamann Walton accuses Mayor Daniel Lurie of bypassing promised outreach to Bayview residents and warns the relocation signals future expansion.
- Jerrold Commons already operates as a shelter and had been intended for RV parking, a shift that previously triggered disputes between Walton and the mayor.
- A proposed move to an 11th Street SoMa site fell through after negotiations with property owners failed, and officials say storage avoids disposing of the cabins or delaying the Mission project.
