    And that is because a large amount of time, those services and help come with conditions they can’t accept.

    Take shelters for example. If you’re a homeless woman, you could stay in a shelter (until they kicked you out) but you probably have a dog to protect you since you’re a woman on the streets. The shelter would make you abandon the dog.

      I actually work in the SF housing industry, and worked at a housing site in SF that was converted to permanent supportive housing during COVID. In that case, barely 30% of the people even showed up to their intake appointments.

        What were the conditions in order to get an appointment? Who was offered appointments? Who was informed about them?

          Certification of homeless status from the city (already acquired if they were referred to us) and proof of income (if any).

            I think we both can come up with a great many reasons why someone wouldn’t want such a certification.
