Mayor Breed Taps New Director of Department of Homelessness As Crisis Continues Spiraling
San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced Thursday that she had appointed Shireen McSpadden, the current executive director of the Department of Disability and Aging Services, to be the next head of the city s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing.
McSpadden is expected to assume the role on May 1, as the Examiner first reported. The position has been technically vacant for over a year, since the departure of the founding head of the department, Jeff Kositsky. Kositsky moved over to a new role about two weeks before pandemic lockdowns began last March, taking over the city s Healthy Streets Operation Center a collaboration with the police department to address the growing encampment problem, which, as we all know, only grew larger in the last year.
