Our thanks go to the San Francisco Examiner for highlighting the work being done and that still to do to combat youth and family homelessness in San Francisco. This coverage coincided with the annual SF Homeless Project media day, this year on June 20.

“Fifty percent of The City’s chronically homeless adults first experienced homelessness between the ages of 18 and 24. When support and investment is given to housing marginalized youth, it has proven successful. A reduction in youth homelessness between 2013 and 2017 coincided with increased investments.”
