An SF social worker was shot in the face. Her mother says nonprofits failed to protect her

Dan-iel Drakes was just doing her job Thursday, assisting formerly homeless residents at a supportive housing complex in SoMa, when a bullet pierced her left cheek and jaw. The 37-year-old social worker needs reconstructive surgery. It wasn’t the first time violence broke out at the facility at 833 Bryant St. According to her mother, Drakes previously expressed concerns over violent incidents, including a pit bull attack and people bringing guns into the building.
