In last-minute reversal, S.F. homeless families avoid eviction - for now
Briefly

Following protests and media coverage, two San Francisco families at St. Joseph Family Center have received a reprieve from eviction until April 10. These families, part of a larger group affected by a city policy limiting shelter stays, had been notified of their impending eviction earlier. Despite previous assurances of support from city officials, they faced eviction notices shortly after. The additional time is a temporary measure, as families must still secure permanent housing amidst systemic challenges and policy changes related to shelter accommodations.
The families of Vilma Arias and Maria Flores have won a reprieve from eviction after protests and media attention, gaining an extension until April 10.
The group of families had pleaded with Mayor Daniel Lurie for reprieve, but faced eviction notices shortly after being told they could stay if making 'positive progress'.
The additional 30-day extension granted to the families at St. Joseph Family Center is a temporary solution, as they must still find permanent housing.
This recent situation highlights the ongoing struggle many families face within the city's homeless shelter system amid reintroduced caps on stay durations.
