Board approves drug-free supportive housing policy 7-4 after two-year effort
The Board passes Supervisor Dorsey's landmark ordinance requiring new city-funded permanent supportive housing to prohibit on-site drug use, rejecting an amendment to remove shelter as a relocation option.
Why it matters: San Francisco currently has only one drug-free PSH facility; this policy creates the first systematic framework for giving PSH residents a drug-free living option, though critics warn it could drive people back to homelessness.

Board cuts inclusionary housing to 5% citywide, 8% in Mission after drama

Why it matters: The city collected zero inclusionary fees in the past three years because no projects penciled; this trade-off aims to restart housing production while the companion Housing Trust Fund ballot measure provides long-term affordable housing funding.
