SAN FRANCISCO HOMELESS RESOURCE
a Network for SF Homeless (& Advocates) NEW! Here's a page Homelessness Policy Overview that's overdue. It's a place where people can go to learn the different policies that are debated in the community and press, and read what groups hold what positions and why. This is brand new and needs community contributions! Here is a link to the Media stories about homelessness in San Francisco. Welcome! The final agencies from the HAP Manual have been uploaded, and now it's time for the community to start using the resources, and to improve them. We want this site to be a new level of service for the homeless by providing greater knowledge in a more efficient way. The potential for the site and its uses is limitless, and we hope to use the larger wiki community and its resources to add more to SFHOMELESS.NET in the future. If you have any ideas or suggestions to add new features, please contact the administrators. Thank you. COALITION ON HOMELESSNESS
