Supportive housing litigation games

Published June 30, 2024

In San Francisco, drug addicts in Housing First supportive housing are suing because supportive housing has drug paraphernalia and behaviors associated with drug addicts

Simply put, you the taxpayer owe us money because you allowed us to destroy your property

Update 8.1.24 camera attacked related to an incident 2 days earlier causing even more damage to the building

This post centers around four recent mass lawsuits filed against one of the top supportive housing non profits Tenderloin Housing Clinic

Craig v THC which is the Seneca SRO at 34 6th street,
Borland v THC which is the Jefferson SRO at 440 Eddy,
Emelia v THC which is the Boyda SRO at 41 Jones
Craigie v THC which is the Hartland SRO at 909 Geary

This type of mass lawsuit is not new. In 2016 a series of similar mass lawsuits were filed starting with Amerson v THC which were widely rumoured to have settled for 5k for each tenant, and most of it spent on drugs. Many of the allegations were similar habitability issues, failure to repair damaged items, pest infestation things like that. The habitability issues were never repaired and even if they were it's temporary since the tenants themselves are causing the damage. If the staff were doing this damage that would be contract fraud, or sabotaging the contract in order to inflate the price of the contract. One example from 2016. This is Orvelton Neal who was a plaintiff in the nearly identical Amerson v Tenderloin Housing Clinic

In 2015 Tenderloin Housing Clinic caught him selling crack next to the building and and tried to evict him but later settled. In 2016 he was one of the plaintiffs in that lawsuit Amerson v THC while continuing to sell crack in the alley

Emily Cohen of HSH at the Homeless Oversight Commission 9.7.23 "Emily Cohen of HSH - a large part of the increase in supportive housing funding is for repairing units that 'have drywall missing-torn down to the studs, floors ripped up. piping tapped into, electric sockets ripped out"

One major difference between 2016 and 2024 is recently the Department of homelessness granted 108mm in extra grant money to Tenderloin Housing Clinic mostly for the purpose of repairing damaged buildings. These type of tenant caused damages were also described in a San Francisco Board of Supervisors hearing on evictions in 2023 here, here, here, and here. Another hearing described the same thing more recently at another Board of Supervisors hearing in March 2024 regarding Homerise Mission Bay here, here and here. This non profit, Tenderloin Housing Clinic has had an official policy of primariliy housing 'chronic substance abusers since at least 2001

This follows an official policy of Harm Reduction and Housing First since at least 2004 and state law since 2016 which was cosponsored by the current city attorney David Chiu and shaped by the executive director of this very same non profit

A major problem with this type of mass lawsuit is if it drags out and goes to trial, it could end up exposing internal documents that show public officials knew the policy of prioritizing high risk addicts would lead to outcomes like this. So the non profit is more likely to settle and pay off the very same addicts with your tax money to keep them quiet

Part of the problem is the newly created HSH Oversight Commision and especially progressives like Christin Evans is putting pressure on HSH to to fill all 800 current vacancies. This puts pressure on non profits to avoid evictions for things like property damage. For example, one of the plaintiffs, Mr Rooney #634 is not being evicted despite unhinging his door over a dozen times and destroying his room. This means there's no incentive to stop the damage and more incentive to sue over that damage and the more damage there is, the larger the settlement. Only a few members of the Oversight Commission have started questioning what exactly happens when people destroy their units and who's responsible for things like arson. Also, many of the plaintiffs have recently recently failed habitability inspections by a third party as part of new HSH rules

These lawsuits may have may have been coordinated with the help of the Tenderloin SRO Collaborative, which is incorporated into Tenderloin Housing Clinic according to 990 records and which Shirley Jackson is part of. She was a plaintiff in both the 2016 and 2024 lawsuits

There have been other lawsuits against THC but from inherited tenants alleging the same thing. But they don't know that 'non residents gaining access to the property' are usually signed in by HSH funded tenants and then left to roam freely, sometimes for months or even years

One of the charges in these latest lawsuits is that the non profit has lax security which allows non residents into the building bringing mayhem and drug items into the building, but this is one of the plaintiffs, Noel Quintana #621 in Craig v THC

Noel himself signed people into the building who never left and spent more than a year living in his room running a bike chop shop while being on probation after being arrested numerous times for breaking and entering and theft. Noel and his friend also broke down his own door contributing to the dilapidated conditions he's suing over. Update, one of the longer threads about Noel Quintana and his room damaging is now unrolled on Threadreader app. Thread continues even after being unrolled

Another tenant who's suing, Thomas Rooney #634 continuously destroyed his own room while high on meth and took his own door off the hinges. Another update on Mr Rooney 8.28.24

Another tenant, Kevin Miller #626, is also a meth addict who distributes meth inside the building, and has had regular fights over meth and has tossed meth pipes into the hallway, while starting fires which made the news and caused damage and severely burned one of his guests. Kevin has also been arrested for drugs

Other tenants like Shan Bowerman #616 have arrest records all over the bay area.Update September 2024, Shan Bowerman was arrested again recently Plaintiff and tenant Cameron Combs #414 has been arrested for selling drugs. Plaintiff and tenant William Wyloge #423 has been arrested and made the news for threatening people on the street with a hypodermic needle. Plaintiff Carlos Law #125 has quite a rap sheet. Tenant Charles Bursey #135 assaulted a cohabitant in 2017. Jonathan Braddy305 was arrested for robbery just days before this lawsuiot was filed room #305 and 207 on LocalcrimNews could be a mismatch or THC simpl,y could have moved him to another room. Plaintiff Melvin Junior #232 (Seneca) was recently arrested for ammunition and drug paraphernalia. Ruben Mesa 603 was recently arrested for possession of narcotics

The Tenderloin downzone doom loop

Published July 18, 2023

This post is to show that an entire city department, The San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH) has been actively concentrating addicts and active criminals into the Tenderloin, Mid Market and SOMA for two decades

One of the hundreds of examples of businesses closing in the Tenderloin and Mid Market area, the Argentum Project, a Greek cafe on 6th street closed because of drug dealers and users harrassing them. Here's the letter they wrote before they left in 2020

Also, a member of the Central Market Community Benefits District recently testified that surrounding city subsidized SRO residents are causing problems around 6th and Market

This Tenderloin doom loop was described back in 2011 during the Twitter tax break hearings in 2011
also on Civic Center Blog

With this quote by H Brown

The Tenderloin downzone doom loop started in the 1980's with the goal of preserving housing for low income tenants, but over time has become corrupted and completely skewed from it's original intent. This centers on two laws from that era, the SRO Demolition Ordinance and a planning commission code limiting height in the Tenderloin area. Both of these are linked here

In 2011, the writer of these two laws, Randy Shaw, spoke at the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and bragged about downzoning the Tenderloin. This was followed by H Brown saying that Randy Shaw has displaced the original working poor in Tenderloin SROs and replaced them with addicts. This is because Randy Shaw and other non profits contract with the San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing which has a policy of prioritizing addicts for these SROs. Randy Shaw admits this in his own blog and also admits developing this policy prioritizing addicts. This means that the intent was not to preserve low income housing as has been claimed , but to replace low income working people with hardcore drug addicts from around the country. Update, a recent SFPD report in 2024 says that 91% of arrested drug users in SF are not from SF
