Homelessness
San Francisco Metro Area Homelessness Information
A Recovery-Focused Homeless Initiative
San Francisco is experiencing a humanitarian crisis. We’re here to deliver a solution.
Homelessness, drug addiction, and untreated mental illness is all around us. But it doesn’t have to be. The Salvation Army believes that every person who wants a way out should have it. On any given night in San Francisco, The Salvation Army provides housing to 750 people who are unstably housed or struggling with addiction.

Wells Place
Wells Place is a two-year recovery residence for adults who have completed residential drug treatment. Rooted in the principles of recovery, accountability, and service, this transformative community fosters lifelong change by promoting positive values and behaviors through peer support, education, and community engagement. Participants receive onsite case management, recovery support, workforce and career development, and assistance with permanent housing placement.
Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
The Salvation Army’s Pathway of Hope initiative marks a pivotal shift to focusing on the core causes of poverty rather than treating the symptoms. Lack of job opportunities, unstable housing, and an underserved educational environment can all be major challenges for someone looking to lead a self-sustainable life.
With our help, people living in poverty can break the cycle of crisis and vulnerability and lead families down a path toward increased stability for years to come. It’s a pathway of hope for current and future generations.
