Mayor Daniel Lurie urges urgency on fentanyl emergency order and pledges coordination for senior care after St. Anne's closure

Mayor Daniel Lurie addressed the San Francisco Board of Supervisors at the Jan. 28 regular meeting, urging swift legislative action on a proposed fentanyl state emergency order and offering the mayor’s office commitment to collaborate closely with supervisors on amendments. “People in our city need our help right now, and what we have been doing is not working,” Mayor Lurie said, calling for expanded treatment and shelter capacity, behavioral and mental‑health initiatives, and faster hiring of public‑safety and behavioral‑health staff.
