Committee backs 'Vision 0' plan on homicides and violent crimes, urges community‑led district strategies
Summary
Supervisors forwarded Vision 0 on homicides and violent crimes with a positive committee recommendation after presentations from SF SAFE, SFPD, community groups and supervisors highlighting neighborhood‑specific coordinators, reentry and trauma‑informed services.
The committee voted Nov. 14 to forward a Vision 0 resolution — a citywide plan to reduce homicides and violent crimes — to the full Board with a positive recommendation, following testimony from community groups, nonprofit partners and the San Francisco Police Department.
Sponsor Supervisor Shamann Walton described Vision 0 as a community‑driven, racially equitable and trauma‑informed strategy that would convene neighborhood stakeholders, designate district‑specific violence‑prevention coordinators, coordinate services with San Francisco Unified School District and the Department of Children, Youth and Families, and align city departments and nonprofits such as SF SAFE and the street violence intervention program (SVIP).
Kyra Worthy, executive director of San Francisco SAFE, said the organization has secured funding for a safety coordinator, held town halls and worked with District 10 youth to identify needs including jobs, ambassadors and safe passages. Captain Troy Dangerfield (Bayview Station) expressed SFPD support for collaborative outreach and hotspot identification. Community partners, including the Mission Peace Collaborative and 5 Keys, described crisis‑response protocols, culturally appropriate family liaison services, and peace pledges from incarcerated participants intended to assist reentry.
Supervisors commended the plan and asked staff to include additional language addressing domestic violence and the needs of specific communities; Supervisor Moore emphasized disproportionate impacts on African Americans. Supervisor Walton moved to forward the resolution to the full Board with a positive recommendation and to include amendments on domestic violence at the Board stage; the motion was taken without objection.
