Join us on January 29 for the Amazing Runaround!
The Right to a Roof Workgroup struggles to reform San Francisco's shelter system into a place that is humane, accessible, and welcoming, and where homeless people may swiftly move into permanent, safe, affordable housing. The workgroup conducts outreach to homeless people residing in shelters and resource centers to gather input on our agenda. Currently, we are working on resisting cuts to homeless programs that San Franciscans rely on, and reforming the shelter access process.
Check out our newly released report The Runaround: An Examination of San Francisco's Byzantine Shelter Reservation System (9.5 MB PDF) and our 2007 report Shelter Shock: Abuse, Cruelty, and Neglect in San Francisco's Shelter System (1.4 MB PDF).
