Fox Rothschild LLP issued the following announcement on Jan. 10.
Fox Rothschild LLP Real Estate attorney Mark S. Hennigh represented the landlord of 1170 Market Street, LLC in its lease agreement with the City of San Francisco to house a Linkage Center, a services-focused location where people can find respite from the streets and gain access to a wide variety of resources from the City and its partners.
The Linkage Center is scheduled to open by mid-January and will provide food, water, hygiene supplies, dignity services, social space and staff to assist individuals in the nearby Tenderloin neighborhood as part of an ongoing emergency initiative. The center staff will offer referrals to programs for behavioral health care and treatment, temporary winter shelters, transitional housing, substance use treatment, vocational support, therapy and mentoring as well as child and family care.
“We appreciate the commitment of Tenderloin residents, merchants and community serving-organizations to engage in the development of the Linkage Center,” said Mary Ellen Carroll, Executive Director, San Francisco Department of Emergency Management. “Site staff, including escorts, will be provided by community-based organizations, and the outreach and engagement strategy is being prepared and led by trusted community organizations already engaged in the neighborhood. The Tenderloin Emergency Intervention plan is dynamic and iterative. As the site is activated and ramps up, we will adjust as necessary to ensure our response meets the needs of the Tenderloin community.”
At Fox, Hennigh advises clients on a broad range of real estate transactions, including leasing, acquisition, construction, financing, development and tax-deferred exchanges. He earned his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center and B.A., cum laude, from Dartmouth College.
