Randy Shaw’s Tenderloin Housing Clinic retaliates against blogger
You may recall earlier this month, a post I made concerning a blogger who was documenting the mismanagement & egregious activities at the Tenderloin Housing Clinic’s marquee property, The Seneca Hotel on 6th St.
Well, after I posted links to many of the blogger’s videos, I was contacted by an on air personality at Quake Radio 960 AM who wanted to find out more about the allegations and blogger Jeff went on air with his tales of woe about since the Tenderloin Housing Clinic had taken over the building he has lived in for years. Two days later he was told he was in violation of the building’s policies, and threatened with eviction if he would not stop documenting the conditions.
For those unfamiliar with the concept, the so called “supportive housing” environment at the Seneca is a project run via the gov’t & grant sponsored non-profit Tenderloin Housing Clinic, a group headed by longtime local housing “activist” Randy Shaw. Apparently Shaw’s skin is thinner than the walls at the Seneca, and the staff have begun retaliatory proceedings against a longterm 15 year tenant at the Seneca, ironically one who isn’t drunk in the doorway, shooting crank, smoking crack, or sucking off the city’s multimillion dollar social services teat.

Last week the hotel told Jeff he was violation of the hotel’s lease by having his own $50 web cam in the hallway for security purposes above his doorway. Jeff said he never signed any such lease, and furthermore he’s been the one the police have had to come to when the THC’s own security camera system has failed to assist in crime solving…
Such as in this video that was used as Police evidence, although the guy swinging the stick in violation of “house rules” was not threatened by management, but was simply moved to another room…
Nice …
I’m happy my tax dollars are helping Tenderloin Housing Clinic, and Randy Shaw of Beyond Chron score another victory against the concept of freedom of speech, or even the collection of basic police evidence …
I’m sure the Board of Supervisors are considering giving Shaw & co. a commendation for their efforts to stifle any criticism of the liberal establishment’s negligence, now if only Ed Jew wouldn’t stymie it…
I had to ask Jeff why he choses to stay where he does if the place is such a pit … but he explains he has a rare rent controlled unit, and actually pays less than the THC bills the new tenants ( each funded tenant is a $480 investment per month).

SFist has now posted a round up as well


mike did you even bother to get any facts before you wrote this rant? go read SFist, you can hear from paul hogarth this guy is NOT BEING EVICTED.
your long, uninformed rants are what keep me from coming to this site much, you don’t read or write well, and you don’t have anything relevant to say when you write this uninformed BS.
Huh?…Mike never said I was being evicted, and it’s plain as day from the scan I made that Mike linked to. Mike did say it was retaliatory proceedings, and that’s sure what it looks like to me, and just about everybody else too.
There’s something else too about what Paul Hogarth said, and I’m hoping to get confirmation about this on Monday
Mike has done a fine job writing, I read this blog once a week at least myself for the last year. In fact, I think this is better than SFist in some ways.
anyway, I’m not feeding any trolls here :)
