San Francisco is facing up to $190 million in unexpected costs for homeless hotel programs as federal funding promises are retracted. FEMA reneged on reimbursement, leaving the city responsible for the expenses. The city reported a record number of overdose deaths in 2023, and the trend continues in 2024 with 66 overdose deaths in January. The opioid crisis persists, with hopes pinned on initiatives like D.C.'s Stabilization Center for addiction treatment.
49 out of 66 died inside this is not a housing issue this is a genocide. #fentnanylmassacre https://t.co/8Pb4ivpuoX
I'm saddened to hear another 66 people died of drug overdose in San Francisco. If we're going to turn the tide we must recognize the addiction crisis on our streets and fund more treatment. People do recover if given the chance. https://t.co/7S8AVIGTxl
66 overdose deaths in January in San Francisco. Some disturbing trends include a rise in Meth OD's (people are mixing meth and fentanyl). 49 deaths were inside at a fixed address, and half the deaths were in the Tenderloin/SOMA. https://t.co/R0FAOIfj2X

This is bad news for San Francisco. I wonder why FEMA changed the rules after the fact? Regardless, it was a lousy program anyway. It didn't help "stop the spread" and hundreds died of overdose in those hotels during Covid. Smh... https://t.co/TnQKkJPlky
