She added that since 2021, outreach teams have engaged with more than 11,000 people on the street. Less than half, nearly 4500, accepted a placement off the street.
The Coalition on Homelessness said city workers are often not offering the appropriate support services and shelter beds. Further, he said the Healthy Streets and Operations Center has conducted 233 operations during this time period and placed 957 formerly unhoused persons into shelters, hotels, and other forms of housing. In many instances, Chiu said homeless advocates are unwilling to admit that unhoused people regularly refuse the city's offers of shelter.
