Request for Potential Shelter and Housing Sites

Description: The City and County of San Francisco’s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH) is collecting basic information directly from property owners or persons/organizations with site control regarding locations for possible consideration as shelter sites. HSH is seeking sites for temporary/short-term (as short as 2 to 7 days) or seasonal use (several months) during periods of severe weather, environmental emergencies or natural disasters, and sites for potential year-round use as emergency shelters.

HSH is particularly interested in leasing or purchasing sites with the following characteristics:

  • located along public transportation lines and/or convenient to neighborhood services
  • existing non-residential buildings that could be converted to residential/dormitory use
  • vacant land on which HSH could construct a shelter

If you have a property that you would like to discuss with HSH, please provide a summary of the site features itemized in the table found on this document. If you have more than one property, please provide a summary for each property. Submission of information is not a commitment on the part of the owner/operator in any form. It is simply a show of interest to explore possibilities.

HSH is accepting this information as soon as possible for the coming fall/winter months and on an ongoing basis. We will keep the property information on file and contact owners if and when there is funding and interest to explore the property.
