End Street Sleeping

It is time to end homelessness
in San Francisco

We believe that when San Francisco residents unite their voices, we can break through the barriers that are unnecessarily prolonging the suffering of unhoused people on our streets and having significant impacts on residential and commercial corridors in our neighborhoods.

RescueSF has built 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 are independent, non-ideological, and non-partisan.

Residents now have a voice and unique opportunity to influence public policy in San Francisco. Below are six initiatives that could help the City implement a more comprehensive and effective approach to addressing homelessness.
