SAN FRANCISCO - The San Francisco Port Commission on Tuesday deferred consideration of an agreement to wind down operations of a facility known as"Site F," where 117 trailers on port land accommodate more than a hundred people experiencing homelessness.
The port then pushed HSH to present a detailed wind-down plan with specific milestones that would assure that the site was being closed to the port's satisfaction. The parties then negotiated the main terms of a 10-month wind down and closure of operations at the site, with new intake ending on Oct. 2, 2023. Under the proposed agreement, the city agreed to pay $90,000 per month in rent to the port during the wind down, nearly double the $52,000 base rent it had been paying.The city is facing an acute shortage of shelter beds.
The city has spent millions of dollars -- so far unsuccessfully -- trying to bring electric service to that site. Ironically, Site F has electric service and city officials responsible for the triage center consulted with those who established service at Site F in the hope they could replicate that success.
Finally, the impact of closure of the site will fall most harshly on the marginalized residents of the site. Demographic information presented to the commission by HSH showed that most residents were between 45 and 64 years of age and more than 70 percent of residents self-identified as African American or Black.
