Even after a pandemic that sent many households into crisis, the total number of persons experiencing homelessness in San Francisco dropped from 8,305 in 2019 to 7,754 in 2022, a 3.5% decline, according to data released from the City’s biannual count.
Tents along the sidewalk on Jones Street in the Tenderloin in January. Data shows the number of homeless individuals in San Francisco has decreased during the pandemic.
There was simultaneously an 18% increase in the number of individuals living in shelters and transitional housing, according to the survey, which is known as the Point-in-Time count. In 2020, Breed also launched the Homelessness Recovery plan, which has involved bringing on nearly 1,500 new permanent supportive and transitional housing options to The City’s inventory, and about 1,000 are slated to open in July.
“What we’re seeing and what I was hoping to see is Prop C’s dollars are starting to work,” said Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition on Homelessness, which advocated for Proposition C. “There have been hundreds of people housed and homeless prevention dollars are starting to roll out, and more people are getting behavioral health treatment. We’re starting to see the promise of Prop C.
Due to its imperfections, it’s hard to fully credit decreases in homelessness to any particular initiative. There were fewer surveyors this year in San Francisco than in the past, and some individuals were almost certainly missed in the count.
