Building Bridges: Why Now?
Did you know that San Francisco’s unhoused residents don’t have access to the lowest international standards for water and sanitation? In this week’s #BuildingBridges blog, we take a hard look at ourselves as a community and the importance of coming together to solve this humanitarian crisis.

San Francisco spends more than $300 million a year trying to find solutions to homelessness, yet the number of individuals experiencing homelessness rises year after year.
