The San Francisco Recovery Coalition would like to invite UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative UC San Francisco UCSF Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences to have a round table discussion about abstinence based recovery and harm reduction. Their views as outlined by Matt Dorsey must be challenged and discussed. 🧵

The national organization opposing my “Recovery First” ordinance praises drug dealers as “harm reductionists” and demands that they be included at “every step of the policymaking process.” So, I’m today urging my colleagues to reject the Drug Policy Alliance’s advocacy. (1/2)

People struggling on our streets deserve a chance to get better. To give them that chance, we must be able to bring them indoors and provide the services they need. These five interim housing sites will help us do that. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/her…

I've done a lot of rallies for recovery. But this one felt different. We are no longer the outliers. Recovery is now mainstream. Supporting common sense legislation like AB255 will allow the state to fund drug-free recovery housing. Join us! Matt Haney Daniel Lurie 丹尼爾·羅偉

Today, I signed the Recovery First Ordinance. This legislation makes long-term recovery the main goal of San Francisco’s approach to substance use treatment—defining recovery as living a healthy, self-directed life, free from illegal drug use. Thank you Supervisor Matt Dorsey,

SF is turning the Marina Inn into 68 beds of drug-free transitional housing with strict rules, helping people in recovery stay sober and rebuild their lives. It deserves support, says 3-term supervisor Bill Maher thevoicesf.org/drug-free-tran…

San Francisco spends more than $185M/year on permanent supportive housing which *mandates* residents are allowed to do drugs In 2025, OD deaths are on pace for 768 by year’s end, up 21% over 2024 The chart shows how SF pays people to do drugs in the housing until they die.

San Francisco will never fully recover until we enforce the law. What’s often called a ‘homeless crisis’ is, at its core, a public safety and drug crisis. Just look at how we welcome visitors arriving at Caltrain—this is the first impression of our city.

7/18/2025: The Fentanyl Fold will become an iconic remembrance of how San Francisco failed addicts, children, families, & businesses. Allowing drug dealers to destroy our city and kill over 4K addicts with impunity is the very definition of failure. Public Safety & Recovery 1st!
