Here is some general information about City services available for homeless persons and how you can help:

The San Francisco Homeless Outreach Team (SF HOT) provides outreach, case management and services to homeless people who are on the street and not using other city homeless services. The team is a collaborative effort involving the Department of Public Health, Human Services Agency, SF Public Library and the non-profit Public Health Foundation Enterprises. SF HOT serves individuals living on the street who are severely disabled. The program also assesses medical and behavioral crises, and refers clients to emergency care as appropriate.
