Doomed to fail: SF mayor announces 'Breaking the Cycle' plan to address homelessness crisis

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie announced on Monday a plan he says will transform the way the city approaches the homelessness and behavioral health crisis.

His executive directive provides the most comprehensive plan to date about how the mayor's team will use those tools and a timeline for accomplishing specific goals.

The executive action, called "Breaking the Cycle," expands on Lurie's fentanyl ordinance that gives his office new powers for addressing the city's drug epidemic. The Board of Supervisors passed the ordinance 10-1 last month, temporarily relinquishing some of their oversight powers for the city's contracts and lease agreements related to the issues of homelessness, mental health and drugs.
