San Francisco, CA. Join Us at the Homeless Oversight Commission Meeting – Demand Shelter Grievance Due Process for Homeless Families!

March 31, 2025 by Jonathan Leave a Comment


THIS THURSDAY, PLEASE JOIN US AT CITY HALL, ROOM 416 AT 9:00 AM! 

¡ESTE JUEVES, ÚNASE A NOSOTROS EN EL AYUNTAMIENTO, SALA 416 A LAS 9:00 AM!

Join Us at the Homeless Oversight Commission Meeting – Demand Shelter Grievance Due Process for Homeless Families!

Homelessness among families in San Francisco has doubled in the past two years, yet the city has responded by reducing shelter stays and restricting access to shelter waitlists. Families can now only stay in shelters for a limited time, with extensions granted in 30-day increments—but only if they participate in case management.

Now more than ever, we must ensure that families are not wrongly denied shelter extensions. The Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (DHSH) claims that these denials cannot be appealed under the shelter grievance procedure, leaving families without due process. This is a violation of their rights.

Join us at the Homeless Oversight Commission meeting to demand that the city uphold its shelter grievance ordinance—allowing families to appeal extension denials, access advocates, and receive fair hearings. Let’s stand together to protect homeless families!

📅 Date: APRIL 3RD 
📍 Location:CITY HALL ROOM 416 
⏰ Time: 9:00 AM 

Your voice matters! Help us fight for housing justice and ensure no family is left without shelter. Public comment will be early around 9:30 agenda item is Directors Report. 

PLEASE ALSO SIGN PETITION TO DEMAND DUE PROCESS :

Acompáñenos en la reunión de la Comisión de Supervisión de Personas sin Hogar: ¡Exijamos el debido proceso para las quejas sobre alojamientos de familias sin hogar! En los últimos dos años, la falta de vivienda entre las familias de San Francisco se ha duplicado; sin embargo, la ciudad ha respondido reduciendo las estancias en albergues y restringiendo el acceso a las listas de espera. Ahora, las familias solo pueden permanecer en albergues por tiempo limitado, con prórrogas de 30 días, pero solo si participan en la gestión de casos. Ahora más que nunca, debemos asegurarnos de que no se les nieguen injustamente las prórrogas de alojamiento a las familias. El Departamento de Personas sin Hogar y Vivienda de Apoyo (DHSH) afirma que estas denegaciones no pueden apelarse bajo el procedimiento de quejas sobre alojamientos, lo que deja a las familias sin el debido proceso. Esto constituye una violación de sus derechos. Acompáñenos en la reunión de la Comisión de Supervisión de Personas sin Hogar para exigir que la ciudad cumpla con su ordenanza de quejas sobre alojamientos, que permite a las familias apelar las denegaciones de prórrogas, acceder a defensores y obtener audiencias justas. ¡Unámonos para proteger a las familias sin hogar!

Fecha: 3 DE ABRIL
Ubicación: SALA 416 DEL AYUNTAMIENTO
Hora: 9:00 a. m.

 ¡Tu voz importa! Ayúdanos a luchar por la justicia habitacional y a garantizar que ninguna familia se quede sin hogar. Los comentarios públicos se realizan temprano, alrededor de las 9:30 Am. El punto del orden del día es el Informe de la Dirección. FIRME TAMBIÉN LA PETICIÓN PARA EXIGIR EL DEBIDO PROCESO.

WRAP has the power of collective mobilization whil WRAP has the power of collective mobilization while remaining accountable to the realities of local communities. By bringing together some of the fiercest organizations fighting homelessness, for 21 years WRAP has developed a unique structure that combines documented street outreach, movement building, and national policy work, helping us bridge the local-national divisions that have hindered homeless organizing for the last four decades.

Check out WRAP sweeps handout to learn the truth d Check out WRAP sweeps handout to learn the truth directly from the streets on the impact of sweeps! 

WRAP members continue to fight sweeps in their communities through utilizing documented street outreach to dispel stereotypes on what a “sweep” actually is. 

Sweeps fracture communities, displace people, & damage physical and mental health. 

When asked, what alternatives/services were people offered? 88% were not offered any services and 74% had all of their belongings thrown away at the sweep. Sweeps are not a solution to addressing homelessness but rather another phase in the cycle of homelessness!

Sweeps are a way to push people further into the m Sweeps are a way to push people further into the margins of society and out of the public eye. They are a sham response to a manufactured issue. Sweeps will never solve homelessness, instead they play into the vicious cycle of homelessness. 

Organizers keep fighting back! Our outreach to the community tells us the trends of criminalization, dehumanization, & a gap in actually moving towards viable solutions are on full display. 

Criminalization of poor and unhoused people will continue to expand so long as the reins on America’s neoliberal approach to fiscal and social policy remain untethered. 

We must seek the commonalities between our communities in order to thread the power of our organizing together!

For 21 years, we’ve worked alongside @lacanetwork_ For 21 years, we’ve worked alongside @lacanetwork_official and other local groups, with community outreach guiding all our campaigns. 

The #Right2Rest Bill was introduced in Colorado, Oregon, and California, and WRAP member groups in all three states built it together from the same outreach to our collective community. 

It lost nine times across those states. 

The point was never just the bill. The point was the movement behind it. #HousekeysNotSweeps #HousekeysNotHandcuffs #WeWillNotDisappear
As part of our 21st Anniversary Celebration, we ho As part of our 21st Anniversary Celebration, we hosted an IG Live conversation between Paul and General Dogon with @lacanetwork_official about why WRAP was created: the idea of building a broader network of community organizations down for the serious fight for dignity and respect for our communities. 

We know that our job as organizers is to connect accountable organizations and build power collectively, because that makes us all stronger, it makes us all smarter, and it gives us more skills. #WRAP21 #HousekeysNotSweeps #HousekeysNotHandcuffs
The systems are doing what they were built to do: The systems are doing what they were built to do: displace people, criminalize poverty, protect profit. WRAP + our members organize and fight for dignity and respect.

$21, $210, or $2,100...it all keeps WRAP + members in sync. Link in bio!
