HSH and our partners offer housing assistance to people who are experiencing homelessness or are about to lose their housing within 14 days.

Coordinated Entry Access Points

Contact a Coordinated Entry Access Point to get assistance.

Access Point staff provide housing problem solving (including relocation assistance) and assess your needs. If you’re eligible, they connect you with housing resources and other community services for people experiencing homelessness in San Francisco.

Five other locations offer problem solving both for people over 18 and for families. They do not provide housing assessments or other Coordinated Entry services.
