San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie just announced nearly $100 million for expanded recovery and treatment services. This includes new locked mental health beds and more residential addiction beds.
The city plans to repurpose space at UCSF Health Hyde Hospital on Nob Hill for conservatorship patients. They’re also adding six acute psychiatric beds to an existing unit and creating a 44-bed residential addiction treatment center on Treasure Island.

A six-story, 64,000-square-foot building at Tradewinds Avenue and Mackey Lane will house hundreds of recovery housing beds. That includes 172 beds moved from former Navy housing on Treasure Island.
An unused city building at 1660 Mission St. will become a coordinated behavioral health hub and sobering center. The funding comes from Proposition 1, a $4 billion state program that voters approved in 2024.
Officials hope these expanded locked beds and recovery services will connect more people to care and stabilize mental health. They also want to reduce street homelessness across the Bay Area—something Marin County towns like San Rafael and Larkspur will be watching closely.
Key components of the plan
The city’s package mixes locked, acute, residential, and recovery housing options to meet different levels of need. For folks in Marin County and up the coast, this could mean new treatment pathways that work alongside local programs in Mill Valley, Tiburon, and Sausalito.
- 50 subacute locked mental health beds at UCSF Health Hyde Hospital on Nob Hill, created by rehabbing space at the former Saint Francis Memorial Hospital for conservatorship patients.
- Six more acute psychiatric beds added to the existing 24-bed unit at the same facility, bringing it to 30 beds total.
- A 44-bed residential addiction treatment center on Treasure Island in a new, city-owned behavioral health facility.
- Construction of the Treasure Island facility is set to start in winter 2026.
- A six-story, 64,000-square-foot building at Tradewinds Avenue and Mackey Lane to house hundreds of recovery housing beds, including the move of 172 beds from former Navy housing on Treasure Island.
- Turning an unused city building at 1660 Mission St. into a coordinated behavioral health hub and sobering center, making a central spot for intake and stabilization.
- Capital funding comes from Proposition 1, the statewide $4 billion mental-health facilities program approved in March 2024.
- The overall goal: connect people to care, keep them stable, and reduce homelessness by offering a continuum of care from locked beds to recovery housing across the Bay Area, with possible benefits for Marin County communities like San Anselmo and Fairfax.
Treasure Island: timeline and scope
The Treasure Island residential treatment center is one of the big pieces here—a dedicated 44-bed facility for people struggling with substance use disorders. Construction is expected to start in winter 2026.
Planners hope the site will take pressure off hospital emergency departments and offer long-term stabilization in a controlled setting. Marin County readers might be curious how access to Treasure Island-based services could fit into referral networks linking San Rafael and Novato with Bay Area treatment options.
Hyde Hospital expansions and conservatorship spaces
The plan expands locked-bed capacity at UCSF Health Hyde Hospital by repurposing space for conservatorship patients, creating 50 subacute beds. Six acute psychiatric beds will also be added, broadening the city’s ability to manage crises in a controlled environment.
For Marin County families navigating cross-county care, this development hints at more options that could affect regional crisis response and discharge planning.
Recovery housing and the sobering center
The Tradewinds/Mackey Lane project aims to house hundreds of recovery-oriented beds and relocate 172 existing Treasure Island beds from Navy housing. The coordinated behavioral health hub at 1660 Mission St. will provide a streamlined entry point for stabilization and referral.
This model might inspire similar collaborations with Marin County cities looking to boost recovery capacity and cut street homelessness in the North Bay. It’s a big swing—will it stick? Only time will tell.
Why Marin County communities should pay attention
Right now, most of the action is happening in San Francisco. Still, these changes will definitely impact Marin County cities like San Rafael, Novato, and Corte Madera.
These towns rely on regional networks for crisis response and discharge planning. Long-term recovery support gets shaped by what happens across the Golden Gate.
Marin health officials see a real chance to share best practices. Things like coordinated intake, data-sharing, and cross-county referral pathways could actually help places like Mill Valley, Tiburon, and Sausalito.
The Bay Area is building a stronger mental health and addiction-service system. Marin County residents might want to keep an eye out for updates on construction, funding, and any chances to join the bigger planning conversation.
