See where SF has — and hasn’t — put its homeless shelters

A recent article from the San Francisco Examiner sheds light on the distribution of homeless facilities across San Francisco, revealing that neighborhoods like the Tenderloin and South of Market (SoMa) host a significant concentration of these services. This uneven allocation has sparked discussions about equitable resource distribution and the impacts on various communities.

District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton, a Class of 2013 San Francisco Fellow with LeaderSpring Center, has been a vocal advocate for balanced solutions to homelessness. Representing areas such as Bayview-Hunters Point and Visitacion Valley, Supervisor Walton emphasizes the importance of addressing homelessness without disproportionately burdening specific neighborhoods. His leadership reflects a commitment to equity and community well-being, aligning with the values fostered during his fellowship with LeaderSpring Center.

The article underscores the complexities of managing homelessness in urban settings and highlights the need for collaborative approaches that consider the diverse needs of all San Francisco residents.
