San Francisco to Store 60 Tiny Cabins at Bayview Site, Walton Calls Move 'Dishonest'

City officials say the cabins will remain unused at Jerrold Commons during a search for a permanent site.

Overview

  • The structures were removed from 16th and Mission to clear the parcel for a long-planned affordable housing development.
  • The Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing says the cabins will sit in temporary storage at Jerrold Commons with no clients housed during that period.
  • Supervisor Shamann Walton accuses Mayor Daniel Lurie of bypassing promised outreach to Bayview residents and warns the relocation signals future expansion.
  • Jerrold Commons already operates as a shelter and had been intended for RV parking, a shift that previously triggered disputes between Walton and the mayor.
  • A proposed move to an 11th Street SoMa site fell through after negotiations with property owners failed, and officials say storage avoids disposing of the cabins or delaying the Mission project.
