Join Us for a BCNA/GGTA Social on October 4th

Please join your neighbors on Tuesday, October 4th at 5:00 PM for a Barbary Coast Neighborhood Association and Golden Gateway Tenants Association co-sponsored social at Crystal Jade, 4 Embarcadero Center, Second Level. There will be a special presentation by the San Francisco Planning Department about the Urban Design Guidelines.
The Planning Department recently completed a revised draft of the proposed Urban Design Guidelines, a document intended to provide a common language to guide design of buildings throughout the City and establishing a consistent set of expectations, goals, and standards by which projects are evaluated. This draft reflects months of discussion with the Urban Design Guidelines Advisory Group (UDAG). Members of the team working on the proposed new Guidelines will provide a presentation discussing their work and inviting community feedback.

New Way to Report Homeless Encampments

From the latest SFPD Central Station newsletter:

The new Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing has created an email address to report homeless encampments: reporthomelessencampments@sfgov.org.

Please include in the email:
(1) size
(2) date of notice
(3) approximate number of people (for resource deployment, shelter resource, navigation center demand)
(4) belongings (lots, few, number of tents) (for resource deployment, ïŹ‚at-beds, debris containers, DPW, etc.)
(5) evidence of dangerousness — aggressive behavior, arguments, physical altercations, domestic violence, etc. (for worker safety and awareness)
(6) evidence of severe mental illness as presented by the following behaviors: 1) individual who self-talks, 2) individual who gesticulates, 3) extremely poor hygiene (we have to put on the clinical hat for that outreach).
