Supervisors Bilal Mahmood and Shamann Walton have introduced a proposal to ensure that each San Francisco district develops a new shelter or behavioral health facility by June 2026. Currently, these resources are predominantly clustered in areas like the Tenderloin and Bayview, leaving many districts without shelters. The legislation aims to combat this inequity by requiring proposed facilities to be spaced at least 1,000 feet apart unless authorized by the Board of Supervisors, thus promoting better distribution of homeless services across the city.
Homeless shelters are unevenly distributed across San Francisco, primarily concentrated in the Tenderloin and Bayview, leading to imbalances in resources and support.
The proposed legislation aims to ensure that every district in San Francisco has access to shelter or behavioral health facilities by June 2026, promoting geographic equity.
