In San Francisco, the reinstated 90-day limit on family shelter stays is causing significant concern for families already facing housing instability. Many, including Cindy Veloz and Emily Liotta, worry about being forced to leave shelters without alternative accommodations. The city's Homelessness and Supportive Housing Department has offered a one-time 30-day extension for some families, but many are uncertain about their long-term prospects, with the potential for eviction looming. Advocacy groups and concerned citizens are urging the city to reconsider policies that they believe fail to address the urgent needs of vulnerable families.
"The city wants to evict families from shelters after 3 months and then will let them extend for 30 days if they deem them worthy of those 30 days. So, I don't understand how that helps anybody," said Rev. Victor Floyd with Faith in Action.
"Recently we received a letter saying that we were being displaced. That letter said we must leave by February 10," said Liotta.
