Breed vows to meet Ed Lee’s pledge to take 1,000 homeless off the streets

Less than a month before his sudden death last week, then-Mayor Ed Lee made an ambitious pledge to bring 1,000 homeless people off of San Francisco’s streets this winter, primarily though the opening of emergency Navigation Centers — temporary shelters offering services to the city’s homeless population. On Tuesday, in an effort to see Lee’s promise through, Acting Mayor London Breed instructed San Francisco’s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing to make room for a total of 75 additional beds at the city’s two largest homeless shelters.
