Safe Injection Services Task Force

On April 11th, 2017, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors enacted a resolution charging the Department of Public Health (DPH) will convening a Safe Injection Services Task Force whose goal was to develop recommendations on the operation of safe injection services (SIS) in San Francisco. DPH brought together a diverse group of stakeholders to consider potential opportunities and obstacles associated with supervised consumption services, the community need for such services, and the feasibility of providing such services.

The Task Force convened three public meetings, between June 2017 and August 2017, and discussed specific focus areas including types of safe injection service models, operations, services, location, and siting. 

In September 2017, the Task Force released a report and recommendations.
