>> this is abc7news.

>> all this year, we've been committed to focusing on san francisco's tenderloin district as we look to build a better bay area. during the pandemic, it became the epicenter for the region's homeless and for rampant drug use sales. are things getting better as we near the end of the year? abc7news insider phil matier has this update. >> at the height of the pandemic, this was the tenderloin. you couldn't turn a corner without seeing open drug use or open dealing or streets lined with tents. the people living here, businesses, nonprofits, even the university of california demanded action. kate robinson is the executive director of the tenderloin community benefit district. >> it's been a lot of attention paid. has it paid off? >> i would say yes. i've been in this neighborhood for 13 years. really saw it at its worst during the beginning of the pandemic. i've never seen such neglect in

my life. >> it was pretty amazing. it was jaw-dropping. it had to get better. >> it had to. we saw what i think was the bottom. i remember feeling really terrified for the neighborhood children to go back to school and wondered what was going to happen. and feel like the city and the community came together and marched to city hall. residents, families saying enough is enough here. that's when the mayor declared emergency. >> we are still seeing the tents. >> this is dramatically improved. we are in the area outside of where urban alchemy is operating. that was the game changer.

>> it's a nonprofit that puts regular people on the streets instead of the police. according to robinson, their presence has changed the atmosphere on the blocks they patrol. >> they've cleared the way then to clear things up. is that right? >> they really engage with people to create safe spaces so it's possible for others to do the work that we do inactivating spaces. >> you can now literally see the difference in the tenderloin. i want to show you something. across the street is one of the ambassadors that keeps an eye on things. you notice how clean the street and sidewalk is? they end here. take a look at the rest of the street. so what's the difference between these two blocks? >> urban alchemy is the difference between these two blocks. >> what does that mean to the viewer? >> a means that urban alchemy is

present on the south side of any street and south of here as well as midmarket. that's where we see really active, clean, safe spaces. >> why aren't they up there? >> funding. >> we only have enough to do a quarter of the tenderloin? >> yes. >> this city has provided $4 million to fund community based improvement projects. >> is this one of them? >> this is the urban alchemy oasis. this used to be a parking lot with a lot of negative activity. >> this used to be a thieves market? and a homeless camp. i remember it. >> absolutely. this is the transformation. we see a lot of residents coming to bring their dogs. this is one of the few dog parks in the neighborhood. a lot of people comment have meetings here or have their lunch here. it's an open space for anybody. >> across the street, city

funding helps to pay for monitors to watch children play in playgrounds they wouldn't have gone near a year ago. >> this is another one of your successes? >> absolutely. this was renovated right before shelter-in-place began. it's active until 8:00 with children and families. we have hundreds of visitors to the parks nearby residents coming in and accessing the parks. >> this was ground zero for a lot of the drug dealing and a lot of the tents right here. this was it. >> absolutely. >> can we report that this is the way that it is seven days a week now? >> yes. >> it comes from a program safe passage. the program helps both kids and adults cross the streets and it adds eyes to the streets here. the tenderloin has been home to some of the most dangerous streets for pedestrians in the city. >> it's an incredible operation.

we are focused on training, training ourselves to be safe when we are looking after each other's safety. really connecting with people when we are out here. changing what it feels like for a child to walk home from school. changing what their memories of growing up in the tenderloin would feel like. knowing that they are looked after. >> where there's more presence, there's more change. >> this is also an example of a transformation. >> this used to be a post office. >> it did. >> now it's what? >> a community space. severing different businesses inside. all through a nonprofit. >> when did you open up? >> officially last year. april. all the women in this space are low income women of color who have started their own businesses. all the customers are from all

walks of life. we get people from the community , residents, folks from federal hall, local nonprofits. it's a nice community hub. >> people feel safe coming here? >> i would say so. that's our goal, to be able to activate this corner. before we moved in, the building was closed down. inevitably that invites folks to take over and have unsavory activation. our charge in the space is not only to create a really welcoming, safe, inviting community space to create economic opportunity and ownership based businesses but to ashok -- activate the corner and make it a place that enhances the neighborhood and makes it a place where folks want to walk down the street. >> it isn't just about getting people off the streets and inside. it's about creating places outside for those people who live here, where they can now go and feel safe. what are we looking at here? >> this is safe passage part. i don't know.

it's a million things. it's an extension of the sidewalk. it's the ability to activate open spaces. it's reclaiming the streets for the residents and stakeholders in the tenderloin. >> i year ago, they couldn't step outside their house because they didn't feel safe walking on the side blocks. >> there were boxing programs offered by the salvation army center. there were special events being held. it became this thing where it's a space that people can come out and be a part of what's happening in the neighborhood. it's a special opportunity. there's people who come here and literally use the space to sit down. it's a reprieve. >> yes, most of the money to fund these programs is coming from the city. for those on the ground here, it's the people who live here and work here that are making the real change happen. >> people refer to this neighborhood as a containment zone.

the good things in this neighborhood also get contained. nobody outside of the neighborhood who is here every day gets to see that there is collaboration like i've never experienced before. care and cooperation like i've never experienced before. it exi here. that's what gives us hope and shows us that this is possible. we just need more support to be able to sustain it. >> that was abc7news insider phil matier. the big take away is that things are looking better in the tenderloin. certainly better than the height of the pandemic but it all comes down to money. where the city is willing to pay for people to watch the streets, things are better. where they have not, the streets still looked rim. if you want to make a difference where you live, you can head to abc7news.com/takeaction. coming up, what spencer was up
