Public Works plays a key role in the project. We assigned a designated crew in the Civic Center Health and Cleanliness Project area Monday through Friday, cleaning all of the streets and sidewalks, removing graffiti from public buildings and safely disposing of all improperly discarded hypodermic needles. Our partner agencies work with people living on the streets to assess and connect them to appropriate health and housing services, including the Navigation Centers. Outreach workers also will be on-site to coordinate care for people with health issues who can benefit from substance and alcohol treatment and primary and mental health care. Together, we can fulfill our overarching goal to create and maintain a safe and healthy environment for all who live, work and visit the area. Before the sun rises, the City works to clean the sidewalks and assist those in need in front of the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. July 2017 - San Francisco Public Works Newsletter
