‘I used to live in the Bayview … then I became homeless’
“I used to live in the Bayview. Then the rent got too expensive and I lost my job.” Lillette Durton grew quiet for a minute. “And then I became homeless,” she said, her strong voice breaking up a little. She sort of swallowed the rest of her story, which included almost seven years of houselessness until she found housing in the Tenderloin’s San Cristina Hotel, a Single Room Occupancy hotel managed by Community Housing Partnership, which is currently facing its own struggle against mid-Market...
