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).
