There is a lot this center can work on but it was the best San Francisco has to offer for women in need

There is a thief among your people. Ronald Carter purchased 6 phones from me on eBay and had them delivered to your address. He immediately contacted a credit card company and filed a false claim in order to get his money back. He not only has the 6 phones, but all his money back. Ronald Carter (if that's his real name) is a scammer.

5 ☆ Hotel. THE PLACE IS VERY LUXURIOUS AND HAS GREAT FOOD. THE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE ARE AWESOME AND THE LOCATION IS GREAT. VERY KID FRIENDLY AND QUIT, THE PIGEONS HELP CLEAN THE QLREADY PRISTINE LANDSCAPE.

The best shelter in the city with most relaxed rules. Wise management, great cooks, nice staff. If you want to get in, register with one of the navigation centers and then call 311 to get on the waitlist.

It depends. You can get an overnight reservation everyday, or you can call 311 and get on the wait list for a 90 days reservation or get a 90 days reservation while receiving public assistance (GA) and food stamps. If you need to you can extend your 90 days reservation for another 30+ days depending on you situation.

I have a young homeless woman in South Beach who I'm trying to find shelter for. She doesn't appear to be on drugs or alcohol. She's very shy and soft spoken. I want her to be safe and the services you offer sound very good for her.

Contact 311 in San Francisco and ask to add your name to the wait list for a Sanctuary bed reservation. If you're receiving Food Stamps or Cash Aid, visit HSA on Mission between 8th and 9th and ask for a shelter bed.

Not really too much room inside to lock them up. All they have is a tiny storage room inside behind where you check in.

Me and my wife are going to be in the area Monday and needing a place to go. She's on crutches and has no ID except for medical card and birth certificate I have my IL state ID and soc card. Where would our best option be for long term shelter?

Sophia Kinnee | Aug 23, 2019
Gena Romero | Aug 23, 2019

Call the 311 help line and ask to be put on the 90 day bed waiting list. They will add both of you on the list it takes longer for men 6 weeks, 3-4 weeks for women. When you get here you go to GA office and request a shelter bed day by day until your names come up. Tell them your a couple. Sanctuary is the best shelter. DO NOT USE THE NEXTDOOR SHELTER really nasty, ghetto and crazy
