Who We Are
The Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH) strives to make homelessness in San Francisco rare, brief, and one-time, through the provision of coordinated, compassionate, and high‐quality services. In collaboration with community service providers and city partners, HSH works to administer, operate, and provide resources to San Francisco’s Homelessness Response System (HRS). 

A primary goal of the HRS is to respond to the disparate impact of homelessness on people who have been historically marginalized and excluded due to structural racism and other systemic inequities. This drives HSH’s programs and services to be designed to center the lived experience of people who are unhoused and work towards outcomes that advance racial and gender equity.
 

What We Do
HSH, founded in 2016, is a national leader in the movement to end homelessness by developing a coordinated, equity‐driven, client‐focused system of compassionate services while piloting innovative models, and implementing best practice solutions with measurable results. HSH’s HRS oversees and implements a system of care that serves 14,000 people daily.

HSH provides and administers various types of programs and supports to youth, adults, and families who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of becoming homelessness. The HRS has key components that are intended to support people to exit homelessness as quickly as possible and support people to stabilize in permanent housing, which includes outreach, targeted homelessness prevention, crisis response interventions, housing crisis problem-solving, emergency shelters, drop‐in centers, safe parking, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, short‐term and long-term rental subsidies, a flexible housing subsidy pool, and support services to help people exit homelessness.
