Homelessness is San Francisco’s most urgent problem. While our city spends vast resources on homelessness every year, the crisis rages on. San Francisco needs to treat homelessness as an emergency and institute bold and urgent measures, just as the City did with Covid.
RescueSF is a citywide coalition of residents advocating for compassionate and effective solutions to homelessness in San Francisco. We are engaged with more than 45 neighborhood associations and community benefit districts across all eleven of the city’s electoral districts.
We have created a unique opportunity for residents to influence public policy in San Francisco. We are independent, non-ideological, and non-partisan, and we are guided by data and best practices. Below are six policy initiatives that could help the City implement a more comprehensive and effective approach to addressing homelessness.
