In San Francisco, Black men born between 1951 and 1970 accounted for 12% of overdose deaths between January 2020 and October 2024, despite representing less than 1% of the city's population. The disparity in San Francisco is greater than any other major city.  Today, we hear from Richard Beal, director of recovery services at the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, about his personal story of addiction and recovery, and later talk with The San Francisco Standard's David Sjostedt about what's behind this trend of Black overdose deaths in the city.  Links: SF is losing a generation of Black men to overdoses.

Randy Shaw is the director of San Francisco's Tenderloin Housing Clinic, founder of the Tenderloin Museum, editor of Beyond Chron, and author of the newly updated book "The Tenderloin: Sex, Crime, and Resistance in the Heart of San Francisco." For over 45 years, he has advocated for this unique neighborhood which has maintained its character and resisted gentrification. Shaw discusses the Tenderloin's rich history as a refuge for marginalized communities, its struggles during the Covid-19 pandemic when it became a "containment zone" for homelessness and drug problems, and his hopes that Mayor Daniel Lurie will fulfill promises to improve safety and support local businesses.

Hundreds of workers at the Tenderloin House Clinic, which is San Francisco's largest operator for single-room-occupancy homes, are going on strike today. The one-day strike is meant to highlight the need for better wages. For more, KCBS Radio news anchors Melissa Culross and Eric Thomas spoke with  KCBS Radio Insider Phil Matier.

A recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle reported violent, and vile unlivable conditions in the city's Hotels for the unhoused. From overdoses to rat infestations. We witnessed during the early days of the pandemic, the great source of refuge the single room occupancy hotels became for the city's homeless. Are the hotels as bad as the Chronicle is reporting? Or is this hit piece perfect fodder for a crack down for a vulnerable population that is often overlooked and underfunded.   Randy Shaw Randy Shaw is the Editor of Beyond Chron and the Director of San Francisco's Tenderloin Housing Clinic, which publishes Beyond Chron.

Before the economic shock of the COVID pandemic, homelessness and affordable housing was becoming a major issue in many blue cities and states across the country.  With the eviction moratorium lifted, what protections do poor and working-class people have to stave off homelessness in gentrifying cities? A recent U.S Census Bureau HouseHold Pulse survey is estimating we could have 4.3 million Americans evicted and foreclosed on. Will the Biden ``Build Back Better” infrastructure bill be enough to try to curb this potential homelessness crisis?   About Randy Shaw: Randy Shaw is the Director of San Francisco's Tenderloin Housing Clinic and the Editor-in-Chief of the online daily newspaper "Beyond Chron."

Randy Shaw is the co-founder of the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, author of five books, and has been one of the Bay Area's leading community organizers on tenants' rights, housing, and homelessness for the past 40 years. Randy, in short, is a fountain of knowledge and knows what works when it comes to solving one the nation's most pressing problems. In this episode, Wayne and Randy explore the roots of the Bay Area's--and the nation's--housing crisis. They look into past ballot measures, California politics, policies, and voting behaviors that have shaped our current housing predicament. They talk about taxation, Joe Biden's housing plan, Obama's political failures, the power of grassroots local activism, and what ordinary people can do to create change. Randy also answers the key question: how can we end homelessness in the U.S., for good? “Don't be distracted by all the noise.” “We need to keep people connected to the issues and fighting AFTER the election.” The Tenderloin Housing Clinic in San Francisco Randy's Book – Beyond the Fields: Cesar Chavez, the UFW, and the Struggle for Justice in the 21st Century Randy's Book – The Tenderloin: Sex, Crime and Resistance in the Heart of San Francisco Randy's new Book – Generation Priced Out Randy's Book – The Activist Handbook Music by Moby: Everything That Rises

In major cities across the country, skyrocketing rents and housing prices have pushed out workers and everyday people who are no longer able to afford the cost of living. In Los Angeles, this has led to a spike in homelessness and the increased precarity that comes from living on the streets. Since 2017, at least 1200 homeless people in LA have died, many from treatable illnesses like cardiovascular disease, pneumonia, and diabetes. What are some of the causes and solutions to this housing crisis?   On today’s episode we speak to Randy Shaw about his new book Generation Priced Out. In this book, Randy poses the question: “who gets to live in the new urban America? He takes us through the political, economic, and generational dynamics of the struggle for housing, both how it is, and how it could be better.   Randy Shaw is Director of the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, San Francisco’s leading provider of housing for homeless single adults.

Many real estate experts around the country warn us that trends of skyrocketing rents and home values are pricing the working and middle classes out of urban America. Randy Shaw, Director of the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, came to Town Hall’s stage with his perspective on the national housing crisis, and offered insight from his book Generation Priced Out: Who Gets to Live in the New Urban America. Shaw exposed how baby boomer homeowners restrict millennials’ access to housing in big cities and criticizes cities for advancing policies that increase economic and racial inequality. He met with Seattle journalist and Evergrey co-founder Mónica Guzmán for a conversation about the factors faced by growing urban areas across the country. Shaw asserted that neighborhood gentrification is not inevitable and presents proven measures for cities to preserve and expand their working- and middle-class populations and achieve more equitable and inclusive outcomes. Join Shaw and Guzmán for an urgent conversation about reforming the places we live and building an equitable future for urban America.
