Days after the officer-involved shooting of a Mission District homeless man, Mayor Lee announced that encampments would be dismantled citywide.

The family of four has been crammed into a Tenderloin studio, after losing their Mission two-bedroom in November's tire shop fire.

The city's new shelter at Pier 80 is one option, but a homeless advocate is pushing the idea of a city-sanctioned tent village on public land.

The co-op values inclusivity, but is increasingly concerned about the safety risks the growing tent city poses to staff and customers.

The acquisition of the five Ellis Acted buildings, all owned by one pair of landlords, will allow tenants in 19 units to keep their homes.

The vast majority of SRO tenants—88 percent— are headed by the working poor who have jobs in industries such as hotels, sales, construction and restaurants.
