A 90-day State of Emergency in SF's Tenderloin is about to come to an end. Here's a look at the progress that's been made... and the work that still needs to be done.
SAN FRANCISCO -- This coming Thursday, the 90-day experiment in San Francisco's Tenderloin district will be wrapping up. Back in December, Mayor London Breed considered the homeless and drug situation so critical that she imposed a State of Emergency - bringing a massive amount of resources to that neighborhood.
In a matter of minutes, mounds of garbage were picked up by crews, now showing what some may describe as a semblance of civility."It's 80 percent cleaner than it was a month ago, almost every block around here you see," said a city employee who was assisting in the clean up efforts. The 90-day State of Emergency intended to get the homeless and drug users into services is up for review with the Tenderloin Linkage Center as the hub where connections have been made.
