Overdose Prevention Resources

San Francisco continues to respond to a deadly overdose epidemic that has disproportionately impacted communities of color and the Tenderloin and SoMa communities we call home. Compass strongly supports overdose prevention programs grounded in a harm reduction approach, and we remain committed to the principles of Housing First in our homeless response and behavioral health systems. 

We encourage our families and the people they care about to access life-saving harm reduction supplies as well as mental health and substance use services. Please visit SF.gov for more information about overdose prevention resources in our community.
