Shelter, treatment and supportive housing

Lyric Hotel · Supportive housing · 140 Jones St

Counted as 58 units, HUD's figure. Sources give different figures for its size: each is listed below.

Method

What is counted: overnight programs for people who are homeless, for people who have high needs and very low incomes, and for youth in residential treatment. Shelter includes the city's adult, youth and family shelters, navigation centers and cabins. Transitional housing, respite and recovery housing, and residential treatment and care are also counted. Residential treatment includes the state-licensed substance use and mental health programs that serve people on Medi-Cal or without means, and state-licensed residential treatment homes for youth. Supportive housing is the buildings the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing funds, affordable buildings with units set aside for homeless residents or funded through the Local Operating Subsidy Program or VASH, and the supportive housing the Department of Public Health funds, most of it for adults with serious mental illness. In the buildings HUD funds (senior and disability housing, project-based Section 8 and public housing), the units counted are those whose households HUD reports earning under 30% of the area's median income; the buildings' other units are not counted. Units that a building's loan or regulatory agreement with the city restricts to households at or below 30% of median income also count, where the agreement has been released, and so do units the city's housing production records list for extremely low-income households. In former public housing now run with project-based vouchers, and HOPE SF's rebuilt public housing, the households counted are those HUD's voucher figures for the building's census tract put under 30% of median income, where the tract's figure is the building's own. Where a loan evaluation by the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development lists a building's units by who they serve, their rent subsidy and their income limit, the building counts the units it lists for people leaving homelessness and those restricted to 30% of median income or less. For buildings the city bought for supportive housing, the city's count of their units counts. A building that another source also counts is counted once, at the larger figure. Sobering centers and crisis stabilization units, where stays last hours, are counted separately.

Beds count the people a program can house for the night. Supportive housing counts units, and sobering and crisis stabilization count spaces. An area's share of the city's shelter, treatment and supportive housing counts each bed and each unit as one place to sleep, so a family unit counts once. Sobering and crisis spaces, where stays last hours, hospital psychiatric beds and daytime programs are shown on their own and never added in. Each program's capacity is the latest its source publishes. State-licensed facilities use their licensed capacity. A building listed by more than one source counts once, at the largest count. A building with two different programs counts both.

Hospital psychiatric units are shown as their own line, with their licensed beds, and on the map as open rings. Not counted: hospices, treatment programs that don't take Medi-Cal, and programs that have closed. Confidential domestic violence shelters, hotel vouchers, scattered-site programs and programs without a known address count citywide only (334 beds and 77 units). Board-and-care homes with six or fewer beds count in their area but are not named or mapped, because they are private homes.

Each site is placed by its address, using the city's address database, in today's neighborhoods, supervisor and police districts, and custom areas. An area defined as a list of intersections holds the sites whose nearest intersection is on its list, within 150 meters. Rates divide by residents (2020–2024 American Community Survey). Areas under 1,000 residents, or whose boundary splits too many census blocks for a reliable count, show counts only.

Each site's card shows what each source says about it: who runs it, what funds it, its size by each source and, for supportive housing on HSH's list, how many households got eviction notices, faced eviction lawsuits or were evicted. A fact appears only where a source states it, with that source named. A shelter's setting says how people sleep there: a congregate shelter has beds in shared rooms, a non-congregate one gives each person or family a room or cabin of their own, and a semi-congregate one falls between, with fewer people to a room. Each card names its source, most often HSH's shelter dashboard. The Interfaith Winter Shelter moves among five host sites from late November to late March, one at a time. Each host site counts toward its area for its share of the season: its beds times the nights it hosts, divided by the season's nights. The shelter then counts once citywide, at about its size on a given night, and each card gives the beds it holds while it hosts. Some cards also give the site's current city contract, from the city's contract records, and list documents the city released about the site, such as its contract, monitoring results and corrective action letters, posted here as released. Many cards also link the Board of Supervisors' file approving the site's grant, contract, lease or loan, which holds the agreement itself, and the Budget and Legislative Analyst's report on it. Some cards give HSH's monitoring results for the site as that report states them. Cards also give the Controller's fiscal monitoring results for 2023-24 and 2024-25 for each organization that runs, manages or serves the site, including organizations that met every standard, and any corrective action the Controller placed the organization on. Where a shelter or other site sized in beds is run under contracts that serve it alone, it was open at its present size from July 2025 to June 2026, every source gives about the same number of beds, and the city's payments to its operator that year came within 20% of the year before, the card leads with what the city paid its operator in that year, from the city's vendor payments, and what that comes to per bed for the year and per night. Other cards give what the city paid under the site's current contracts that year. For affordable housing that the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development monitors, the card leads with what the building cost to run over the twelve months its owner's annual report covers, 2024 for most, and the cost per unit; services paid for outside the building's budget are not included. Where a card has neither, it leads with the annual budget, and the cost per bed or unit where stated, that the Board of Supervisors' Budget and Legislative Analyst gives in its report on the site's contract, with the years it covers. A budget the Board had not yet approved is called proposed. Where one contract covers several buildings, the card names the others and gives the average over all their units. For each site at a public address, the card gives the notices of violation the Department of Building Inspection has issued at that address since January 2024 and how many have been corrected, including when there are none. A complaint counts only if an inspector issued a notice, and no complaint's text is shown. Under In the news, cards list news reports about the site or about something that happened there, with each report's headline, outlet and date. They come from searches of local news outlets for the site's name and address, and a report is listed only if it names the site or its address in its headline or at least twice. For affordable housing that the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development monitors, some cards also give the building's vacancies, how long a vacant unit took to re-rent and its housing code violations, from the owner's 2024 annual monitoring report, with the owner's own explanation where units took long to fill.

Daytime programs: the outpatient mental health, outpatient substance use and opioid treatment (methadone and buprenorphine) programs for adults in the Department of Public Health's provider directory (p6m6-pkpk). The directory lists the programs the city contracts with and is read nightly. Each listing counts as one program, and one location can have several. Programs for teenagers and young adults with mental health needs or substance use, and for homeless children, are counted. Programs for young children and their families, mobile teams without a fixed site, programs outside the city and privately funded clinics are not counted. The directory gives no size, so a large clinic counts the same as a small one. Each program is placed by its address, using the city's address database.

Benefits offices: the Human Services Agency's walk-in service centers whose own page lists adults without dependents among the people they serve. People apply for and keep CalFresh, Medi-Cal and County Adult Assistance Programs cash aid there. Offices only for families, or for older adults and people with disabilities, appointment-only offices and administrative sites are not counted. Offices are counted, not sized: no public source gives visits by office.

Other daytime services: drop-in and self-help centers, free meal programs, sites with showers, laundry or storage, and coordinated entry access points, where people without housing are assessed and referred. A site is counted once a current source shows it open: a city contract or city page, Department of Public Health records, or a 2026 listing in the SF Service Guide or the city's list of drop-in centers. Programs for the general public, such as senior lunches and community meals, are not counted, and neither are clinics already counted as behavioral health programs. Each kind is counted separately and never added to programs, offices or places to sleep. The sites are counted, not sized: no public source gives visits by site.
