Some Access Point hours have changed due to COVID-19 restrictions. Please see the most updated announcement HERE for more information.
The Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing has launched Family Coordinated Entry and its community Access Points: Central City Access Point and Bayview Access Point. Access Points are localized community gateways into San Francisco’s Homelessness Response System, which is the overall system of programs and housing opportunities for families experiencing homelessness.
Operated by non-profit service providers, Access Points are crucial to the function of the Coordinated Entry process, which is designed to assess, prioritize, and match families experiencing homelessness to housing problem solving, shelter, housing opportunities, and other services in San Francisco.
