We are excited to announce that in the next few weeks in conjunction with @salvationarmysf, we will be opening "Hope House." San Francisco’s first abstinence based shelter for the homeless. Leaving your addiction behind is a huge first step to recovery! @SteveAdami

Yesterday, in partnership with @wscommservices we opened James Baldwin Place. A 54 bed clean and sober transitional housing program for people who've completed drug treatment. We are bringing recovery back to San Francisco. @DanielLurie @SteveAdami @TheWayOutSF @Twolfrecovery
Today, Westside Community Services, the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, and The Salvation Army opened James Baldwin Place, an abstinence-based recovery housing program. Thank you, Westside Community Services for making us a partner in this meaningful project.

San Francisco is desperate for recovery. thewayoutsf.org is working hard to provide a full continuum of care from detox to housing. We should all be working together to end this, not to defend the status quo. @SteveAdami
I am astounded at how vigorously some people defend the status quo on drugs and homelessness in San Francisco. We cannot resolve these problems by doing what we have always done and hoping that somehow the outcome will be different.

Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Cathedral Prayer Service. Now, the GOP is attacking her for speaking truth to power. RETWEET if you stand with Bishop Budde against Trump!

Gorgeous sunset colors in Point Reyes tonight just as the first full moon of 2025 (The Wolf Moon) came up over Tomales Bay in Inverness.

The sound of the iconic Salvation Army bell means more than just the holidays—it’s a call to hope and healing. Volunteers are ringing in the season of giving, making a difference one cheerful chime at a time. Captain Chris Wikle from SoMa Corps shared the heart behind this tradition on @KTVU. Let’s keep the spirit alive by supporting our mission to serve those in need this holiday season. Join use in spreading joy—because every ring brings hope. 🎄🔔

Thanks, @metaversehell and @lwoodhouse, for checking out @salvationarmysf and it's drug treatment and housing programs. San Francisco needs recovery from addiction badly. @TheWayOutSF is the solution. @SteveAdami @PirateWires @DarrenNorton20

One of the best days of the campaign so far. This @salvationarmysf program gets a lot right, including: immediate intake, 6-month residential care, and an emphasis on recovery and sobriety.
Thank you @DanielLurie for touring our Harbor Light recovery program and taking time to do Q & A with our program participants and learn what San Francisco can do better to get people off the street and into recovery from those with lived experience.

Meet Corey, a true testament to resilience and transformation. Thanks to The Salvation Army’s Recovery System of Care, Corey found a safe, stable, and disciplined environment for change. After 20+ years in and out of jails and drug addiction, he’s now 16 months clean and sober! – at San Francisco, CA

It’s too easy to get high & too difficult to get sober in SF, and we must do everything we can as a City to support those struggling with addiction. Thank you to @TheWayOutSF & @salvationarmysf for your work in ensuring that a pathway to recovery is possible.
