Participant Grievance Policy
Housing and services providers are required to have an internal grievance procedure through which complaints are handled. Program participants must attempt to resolve the issue by raising the grievance directly with the provider responsible. After a participant has exhausted the agency’s internal grievance procedure, the participant can file a grievance with HSH based on the following grounds: (1) unsatisfactory services or poor treatment, (2) discrimination, and/or (3) unfair procedures.
If a participant has reason to believe they received unsatisfactory services or poor treatment, discrimination occurred, and/or the assessment procedure was unfair, they should file a written grievance which states the following information, if known:
• The type of grievance they are filing,
• Names of all relevant staff involved in the grievance,
• Agency employing the staff, and
• Specific details that resulted in the grievance.
The written grievance should be addressed to the Programs Division Manager. All grievances will be received at: hshgrievances@sfgov.org
