This is an example of how some of the non profits are actually turning neighboring businesses in Mid Market into crackheads. These are residents and clients of Tenderloin Housing Clinic – Seneca hotel SRO non profit supportive housing under the ‘Housing First’ and ‘harm reduction’ models literally getting new people addicted to drugs and selling it<\/p>\n

\nAt some point about 6 months ago, residents of Randy Shaw’s Tenderloin Housing Clinic, gave Italo some crack. Tenderloin Housing Clinic is the largest provider of homeless housing in San Francisco, and one of their buildings is the Seneca Hotel at 34 6th Street, which is just 50 yards from 1019 market and only 10 yards from Dotties True Blue Cafe at 6th and Stevenson
