Wednesday, March 30, 6 - 8pm. Railyard Alternatives and I-280 Boulevard Feasibility Study  - in case you missed the first one, SF Planning is back in Potrero Hill, in a larger space, to discuss the multi-agency program studying transportation and land use alternatives in the most rapidly growing areas of the City. In anticipation of the Downtown Rail Extension (DTX), the electrification of Caltrain, and High-Speed Rail, the City is studying how best to coordinate these projects in a unified vision for the area rather than building each project independently. The first phase of the RAB has prepared conceptual design alternatives for four different project components, in addition to a study of overall land use considerations and opportunities for placemaking: Potrero Hill Neighborhood House, 953 De Haro.

(Upcoming - date & location tbd) Community meeting re: Navigation Center in Dogpatch. Navigation Centers are a proven model to connect people experiencing homelessness with permanent housing solutions. The first Navigation Center at 1950 Mission has been highly successful, with nearly 400 people brought in off the streets and 80% re-housed within 58 days.

The City is expanding the Navigation Center model, which represents a shift in approach, culture, and outcomes from its traditional shelter system, to new sites. The Dogpatch site would utilize the same approach to shelter, including small community (≤80 people), 24/7 staffing with high staff/client ratio, tranquil environment with "village"-inspired design, outdoor space, referral-only access. Come find out more. Presented by the Mayor's Office of HOPE; postponed from Mar. 30th because of conflict with the community meeting mentioned above.

We see and read about the problem of homelessness almost every day. On March 1st, the conversation was about solutions - real, imagined; happening, never tried; possible, impossible; short-term, long-term; direct action, legislation; good, perfect...

The amazing panel:

• Emily Cohen, Deputy Director, Mayor's Office of HOPE
• Shira Noel, Policy and Advocacy Coordinator, Homeless Youth Alliance
• Julie Leadbetter, Director, San Francisco Navigation Center     
• Amy Farah Weiss, Founder/Director, Saint Francis Homelessness Challenge*
• Ken Fisher, Founder/Designer, RouteHome
