Shelter Bed Set-Asides

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

Below are new Immediate Disclosure Requests (SF Admin Code 67.25(a)) directed to your agency and its department head. Rolling records responses are requested (SFAC 67.25(d)) if you are unable to immediately produce records.

Please provide all emails, records, or data pertaining to a) the number of shelter beds set aside for HSOC or its ERT (encampment resolution team), b) the number of shelter beds set aside for the HOT outreach works, and c) the nature of these beds - what shelter they are located in and their duration. Please provide that data for every day from the period of Jan 1st, 2021 through March 31st, 2021. In other words, the data should show how many shelter beds and what kind of shelter beds were set aside for the ERT and HOT outreach workers on each day from that period.

Please explain the way this shelter bed information is stored- if it is kept in a database, please provide the name of the database and please release its data dictionary.

Please provide any meeting minutes from daily meetings pertaining to the aforementioned shelter set-asides or emails containing such minutes. Please be sure to include all city officials names and email addresses in the CC and BCC fields.

Please see this link for HSH minutes which references the fact that beds are set aside for HSOC purposes (Mary Ellen Caroline: Executive Director for the Department of Emergency Management refers to "HSOC set asides"): https://hsh.sfgov.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Nov.20th-HSOC-Minutes.pdf

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Anonymous

Hi thank you for the response. Can you please provide a version that includes the site names and addresses, or justify the Section 6255 redactions? The public has a right to know this information.

Can you please clarify which "Teams" HSOC draws from when they offer shelter beds during re-encampment prevention efforts such as those in this HSOC report: https://sanfrancisco.nextrequest.com/documents/7988350

During such re-encampment prevention efforts, are clients only offered beds marked under the team "HSOC" or are they also offered beds marked "SFHOT", "HTP", "HOSPITAL", "IFWS", and "I&Q"?" Please list all Teams from which beds are offered during re-encampment prevention efforts. Please also spell out the acronyms of each Team, and if the beds are not offered during re-encampment prevention efforts, please specify how clients access the beds from each Team.

Thank you.
