Last year, we invested $31 million to fight poverty in the Bay Area.
San Francisco’s Progress to Reduce Homelessness
In July of 2023, the City began a five-year plan to decrease the number of people who are unsheltered by 50% and the total number of people experiencing homelessness by 15%.
To improve transparency and accountability, Tipping Point launched the San Francisco Homelessness Dashboard to track the City’s progress in its efforts to reduce homelessness.
