SF moves toward ending chronic homelessness among military veterans
San Francisco came a big step closer to ending chronic homelessness for veterans Wednesday with the opening of a 70-unit supportive housing complex for people who have served in the military.
The complex is in the refurbished Auburn Hotel on Minna Street, near Sixth Street, and it brings to 300 the number of residential rooms or apartments opened in the past year in San Francisco for homeless veterans.
Filling these rooms means there are now fewer than 150 chronically homeless vets — meaning the most troubled, on the streets for at least a year — left living outside in San Francisco, according to Jeff Kositsky, head of the city Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing.
