San Francisco staff sometimes complied with a policy designed to help unhoused people retain essential items, new records show. Despite logging 126 encampment clearings over 3 months, the city recorded just 11 signed acknowledgements from homeless people.

NEW: City workers clearing encampments are supposed to notify residents to separate essentials from items being confiscated, and collect signed acknowledgements of doing so. Despite logging 588 clearings, SF could not produce a single signed document. https://www.sfpublicpress.org/san-francisco-lacks-evidence-compliance-bag-and-tag-encampment-clearing/
