Compass History | Compass was founded in 1914 as Travelers’ Aid San Francisco to provide assistance to the 18.5 million newcomers who visited the city of San Francisco for the 1915 World’s Fair. Since then, our history has followed the trajectory of San Francisco's history, serving the most vulnerable populations during the Great Depression, World War II, immigrants and refugees from Asia in the 1950s, and homeless youth during and after the Summer of Love. HISTORY Making a difference for over 100 years. 1914 - 1934 | TRAVELERS AID Compass Family Services' predecessor, Travelers Aid San Francisco, is founded in anticipation of the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition, also known as the World’s Fair -- which attracted over 18 million visitors -- to provide assistance to newcomers. The organization continued to provide a helping hand to American pioneers and new immigrants who became stranded on their journeys. 1936 - 1939 | THE GREAT DEPRESSION In the midst of the Great Depression, the organization hires extra workers to conduct outreach to youth in need. As part of the New Deal, a National Youth Administration project helps update clerical work, freeing up social workers for greater client service. Travelers Aid opens an office on Treasure Island to provide full-time social workers for the Golden Gate International Exposition. 1940 - 1951 | REFUGEES Due to the influx of refugees arriving from Europe and Asia, Traveler's Aid's caseload increases exponentially. A “Transit Lounge” is opened in Southern Pacific Railway Station (at 3rd and Townsend Streets) in response to influx of WWII refugees and increase in young people moving from place to place. 1969 - 1978 | FIRST PROGRAMS ESTABLISHED The agency opens Aquarius House, a 30-day residential program in the Haight to help with the influx of teens and young adults, and the Tenderloin Childcare Center in the YMCA Ballroom, to offer subsidized childcare to San Francisco’s poorest families. The Tenderloin Childcare Center becomes the first licensed childcare center in San Francisco to reserve slots for children experiencing homelessness. 1989 | FOCUS SHIFTS TO HOMELESSNESS After celebrating 75 years of “assisting transients, newcomers, and travelers alone in the city,” the focus begins to shift to issues of homelessness as more and more people appear in San Francisco’s streets lacking shelter, employment, and other resources. 1990 - 1994 | GROWING PROGRAMS The organization opens Compass Family Shelter,one of the city’s first shelters to alleviate the burgeoning crisis of family homelessness, in addition to Compass Clara House, a two-year transitional housing program for families. Compass establishes Family Follow-up Project to provide aftercare services to homeless families in permanent housing. 1990 - 1995 | COMPASS COMMUNITY SERVICES Travelers Aid San Francisco is renamed Compass Community Services. The City of San Francisco awards Compass a grant to form Compass Connecting Point, allowing Compass to centralize access to services for homeless families and manage the citywide family shelter waiting list. TODAY Compass Family Services runs 13 programs across San Francisco. The agency has been recognized as one of the Best Non-Profits in the Bay Area by the San Francisco chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG);awarded the national Mutual of America Community Partnership Award; and isone of 23 agencies nationwide to be awarded a federal grant through the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development to rapidly re-house homeless families.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT FAMILY HOMELESSNESS Who are we talking about when we talk about "homeless families?" There are multiple definitions of homelessness. The federal definition includes only families that are unsheltered (sleeping in tents, cars, etc.) and those in homeless shelters (historically abbreviated as “streets and shelters”). San Francisco’s definition is more expansive and includes families living in spaces that aren’t appropriate for a family including those living in single room occupancy hotel rooms or doubled or tripled up with other families in spaces that are not meant for multiple families. The experiences of homeless families vary in many ways. Compass has supported families living in tents, couches, cars, and even a raft. At times, there are excessive numbers of people living in just one apartment or unit. In one case, Compass worked with a family living in just one room in the Mission with a total of 30 people. These families are doing whatever they can to keep their children sheltered or, when that’s not possible, at least safe. As one might imagine, parents have to make some incredibly difficult compromises when in this position, sometimes putting their own safety and well-being at risk (as is common with domestic violence situations). While there are families who do live in tents, it is much less common than with other homeless populations. Many parents hold the very understandable fear that their children may be taken away from them if they are seen living in a tent. While it is not legal for children to be removed from their parents solely due to homelessness, mistrust continues. Do homeless parents experience the same issues as the homeless people we see on the street? Yes and no. Homelessness as an experience is extremely traumatic and most everyone experiencing homelessness shares common issues related to that trauma including constant fear and uncertainty, not having somewhere where they feel safe, challenges accessing food and hygiene, etc. Human beings, whether in a family unit or alone, are not designed to sleep outside. Homelessness is caused by a lack of affordable housing. In San Francisco, a lot of public attention focuses on unsheltered adults who use drugs and those with severe mental illness. While substance use is not absent from the population of families experiencing homelessness, it is less common and typically less severe when it is present. Parents experiencing deep and severe addiction will most likely lose custody of their children and thus, will not be eligible for the family system (they will go to the single adult system unless/until they can regain custody). Additionally, parents living with serious mental illness (the type that might require significant intervention) are less frequently engaging with the family homelessness system for the same reason – if functioning is impaired enough, these parents will likely lose custody of their children. Family homelessness is often hidden. It’s likely that you would walk by most families Compass serves without ever imagining they are homeless. What is Coordinated Entry, and what does it mean for how families access shelter and housing? The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires local communities receiving federal funds to address homelessness to operate Coordinated Entry Systems. HUD developed the concept of Coordinated Entry following an increase in national homelessness with the foreclosure crisis of 2007-2010. Coordinated Entry replaced a first-come, first-served model of shelter and housing intervention waitlists with a model that assesses and sorts applicants by their level of need. Coordinated Entry acts as a front door for connecting households facing homelessness with shelter and housing. Coordinated Entry Access Points identify, assess, and prioritize homeless individuals and families for housing and services, based on vulnerability and severity of need through a standardized process. San Francisco implemented Coordinated Entry in 2018. The primary principles of Coordinated Entry are: Prioritization. People with the greatest needs receive priority for any type of housing and homeless assistance available in the area. Low Barrier. Housing and homelessness programs lower their screening barriers in partnership with the coordinated entry process Housing First Orientation. People are housed quickly without preconditions or service participation requirements. Person-Centered. Individuals and families receive choice in where they want to live, and in the services they engage in (but this is tricky in the SF Bay Area, where there is so little housing stock available) Most Appropriate Housing Intervention. Ensure that people experiencing homelessness receive the right housing intervention (but again, this is tricky, if not impossible in the SF Bay Area, because there is such a dearth of any type of housing, so just because a family needs, for instance, permanent supportive housing, that does not at all mean that they are going to get it). Multiple Entry Points to Services. San Francisco currently has three family access points: Central City Access Point, operated by Compass, and Bayview Access Point and Mission Access Point, operated by Catholic Charities. Coordinated Entry prioritizes unsheltered families over those with shelter, even when that shelter isn’t sufficient. Families under the federal definition of homelessness are served before those that fall in the broader San Francisco definition. As a result, families living in conditions that are unsafe or unfit for children (for example, a whole family in an SRO hotel room or doubled or tripled up in a unit with another family or families) rarely are able to access the shelter system or housing options linked to Coordinated Entry, because they are lower priority, and the capacity of the system is extremely limited. How does Coordinated Entry Work? When a family comes to a Family Access Point, they are assessed by staff who collect a great deal of information about the family’s current situation and history (note that this retelling can be traumatizing for families). That information is entered into San Francisco’s Homeless Management Information System, the Online Navigation & Entry (ONE) System. The information is filtered through the City’s algorithm and the assessed family is given a prioritization score. If they score high enough, they can be offered shelter and/or housing (see info below for what options exist in the system). Families that don’t score high enough are assigned “Problem Solving” status, meaning they cannot access housing programs at this time. These families can still be placed on the shelter queue, or access emergency shelter. However, in San Francisco the beds in this category are currently very limited. Compass assists families with “Problem Solving” status to find other solutions. For example, if a family has relatives in Reno who could take them in for a bit, Compass can provide them with transportation support to get there. Typically, Compass is not able to solve many housing crises with problem solving, but occasionally this works. The threshold that a family needs to meet to get on the housing list is not static. The City adjusts the threshold score based on the availability of housing options in the system. If there are not many housing units available and there are a lot of families coming in for housing, the City will adjust the threshold score up so that only those who score very high will be eligible. What shelter and housing options are there? Shelter: There are a few different types of shelter that exist in San Francisco: • Emergency Shelter – these are shelters that are just for sleeping. They are “mat on the floor” shelters where families cannot enter until a certain time in the evening and must leave early in the morning. Possessions cannot be left in the shelter so this is not a great long-term solution for anyone but can be very helpful on a very short-term basis. Currently, the availability of this type of shelter is very limited for families. The only shelter of this type in San Francisco is Buena Vista Horace Mann, which is available only to families with at least one child enrolled in SFUSD (not available for those with just young children). Families do not need to go through Coordinated Entry to access this type of shelter. They can “self-refer.” This shelter tends to be at capacity each night. • General Emergency Shelter – Emergency shelter is available through Coordinated Entry and provides guaranteed accommodation to families for a limited amount of time (time limits were suspended during the COVID crisis and reinstating them is under discussion). Families have an assigned space (typically a room) and can store belongings on-site. They can also access the space throughout the day. Typically, these shelters, including Compass Family Shelter, provide private rooms. Facilities vary and have different features. For example, some may provide hot meals each day while others have available kitchen facilities for families to use. Case managers support shelter residents to address various aspects of stability, including finding housing solutions so that they can move on from shelter into something more permanent. Compass Family Shelter provides 22 families at a time with private rooms with private bathrooms, and a broad array of support services. • Transitional Housing – this is an option that is not very prevalent in San Francisco. Families can get referrals to Transitional Housing through the Coordinated Entry system. Stays are typically longer than with emergency shelter, varying by facility (6-18 months), and there are intensive services on-site to support families in reaching stability so that they will be prepared to stay housed after exit. Compass Clara House is a Transitional Housing property hosting 13 families at a time in private apartments and offering a broad array of support services. • Urgent Accommodation Vouchers – Compass currently offers the City’s only Urgent Accommodation Voucher program for families. With this program, families are placed into short term hotel stays when other shelter options aren’t available. Compass Urgent Accommodation Vouchers (CUAV) offers hotel stays with limited support services to 130 families at a time. Housing: There are also a few housing options that families may be offered (Compass offers all of these through Compass SF HOME and The Margot): • Rapid Rehousing – Families are provided with time-limited subsidies (frequently two or three years) covering the majority of their rent and allowing them to secure housing in units on the open market. Housing locators help families search for housing, negotiate with landlords, and move into their new homes. Once housed, families are assigned a case manager who provides support throughout the duration of the subsidy to help them increase their income and address other barriers, so they are able to afford to stay in their unit at the end of the subsidy period. A few notes about Rapid Rehousing: This is the option most frequently offered to families because it’s the most plentiful. Rapid rehousing is a great tool, but many families need more intensive support to be successful. Often families are given rapid rehousing because it’s the only available option, but they really need permanent supportive housing to stay stable. Families can be housed up to two hours from San Francisco, so about half of rapid rehousing families get placed outside of the City in locations such as Richmond, Vallejo, Antioch, Tracy, etc. • Site-Based Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) – Families are placed in units in dedicated buildings, such as The Margot, with support services onsite. They are able to stay in their units permanently, which offers families real, long-term stability and gives children a real sense of security. Families pay a portion of their income (one-third) for as long as they are in the unit. • Scattered-Site Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) – This is a hybrid between rapid rehousing and site-based PSH. Families receive a subsidy to get housed in a unit on the open market just like in rapid rehousing, but they will receive the subsidy forever. With this option, families don’t have to live in dedicated PSH buildings, giving them more flexibility. It’s a great option for families that are not likely to be able to significantly increase their income, but who don’t need as much active support as is provided when in a site-based program. • Housing Ladders – Through the housing ladder model, families that have been successful in site-based PSH for at least two years can move into scattered-site PSH with a housing subsidy. This makes room for families that need site-based support to be able to receive that, while continuing to support families that no longer need that level of support services but do need financial support with housing. What is the wait time for a family to get into a shelter? Through Coordinated Entry, families that are unsheltered (meaning they are living on the streets, in a tent or in a vehicle) are given first priority. That said, there can still be long waits for unsheltered families to get into shelter. Wait times depend on available inventory in the system and how many families with similar or higher need, as determined by the Coordinated Entry scoring process, are seeking shelter at the same time. This can be particularly troubling when the weather is bad and for families who have medical needs, including pregnant parents. Relatively recently, the City has begun to rely on temporary hotel stays for unsheltered families when shelter is not available. But these, too, are typically at capacity. What other organizations are serving homeless families and how do they all intersect? There are a number of organizations serving the homeless community in San Francisco in a myriad of ways. This is quite fortunate as the need is great, but this very populated landscape also creates a good deal of confusion. One important note is that the organizations receiving funding from San Francisco’s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing are generally segregated into three primary streams: Individual Adults, Transition Aged Youth, and Families. There are separate coordinated entry systems for each stream and organizations commonly specialize in one stream. Some large organizations, including Catholic Charities and the Salvation Army, operate in multiple systems and serve more than one population. There are number of other providers in San Francisco supporting homeless families including, but not limited to, Hamilton Families, Raphael House, Homeless Prenatal Program, Dolores Street Community Services, and Catholic Charities. Compass works with our sister organizations in many ways including through collaborative advocacy work with the Homeless Emergency Service Providers Association (HESPA), a coalition that works to advocate for the needs of the homeless population. Additionally, as opportunities arise, we partner with other providers on special projects. For example, we’re embarking on an exciting multi-year, randomized control trial of Guaranteed Basic Income for clients with our sister agency, Hamilton Families. What is it like for children to experience homelessness? Of course, there is no one experience of childhood homelessness. Some common themes include feelings of a lack of safety and security, hunger, and stress. Children in homeless families get sick more often than their housed peers and have more chronic illnesses like asthma. Children who have experienced or are experiencing homelessness are likely to have more unmet behavioral health and developmental needs than their housed peers. Older children miss more school, change schools with greater frequency, and are more likely to be behind in school due to lost instruction time. Even when parents can shield their children from many of the harsh realities of homelessness, they are dealing with a level of stress that most of us will never experience, and that stress has a way of trickling down to the children. Consistent stress can make it difficult for parents to be fully emotionally available for their kids, causing further challenges. When kids get a safe place to stay, the relief and the joy is palpable. Getting their own bed (and sometimes their own room!) is a huge milestone. This is what keeps many of us doing this work and is why we believe so strongly that every child deserves a safe and stable home. The transformation kids go through once they are housed is often profound. FAQ About Family Homelessness

Family Homelessness in SF: By the Numbers Last Updated: September 2026 Family homelessness cannot be measured by one number. Unlike single adults, homeless families are often hidden from view. As a result, it can be hard to get an accurate picture of the crisis. This dashboard brings together multiple sources of information to gain a more complete image of family homelessness in San Francisco. Each data set measures something slightly different, and each comes with its own blind spots. But together they offer a more complete understanding. Homeless family members in the 2026 Point-in-Time Count 1,474 Family members on the SF shelter waitlist 670 Family members currently staying in a SF shelter 1,013 Family members assessed via Coordinated Entry in 2026 4,350 SFUSD homeless students in the 2025-26 school year 3,217 How do we define a homeless family? Before we get into the numbers, we need to understand how various counts define family homelessness. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) definition is the strictest definition, only counting individuals and households staying in a place not meant for human habitation OR staying in a shelter. Other counts are more expansive and include doubled up families, and families who are couch-surfing. We created a legend you can use to determine how each number defines family housing. Includes Families Couch-Surfing Includes Couch-Surfing and Families Doubled-Up HUD Definition of Homelessness STRICTEST Four ways we understand family homelessness. The Point-in-Time Count Source: San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, 2026 Point-in-Time Count: Preliminary Results , 2026. What it measures The federally required Point-in-Time (PIT) Count estimates the number of people experiencing homelessness during a single night in January. Conducted every two years, it provides the only standardized federal count published on a regular basis. The San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing began to partner with Compass and other homeless service providers a few years ago to reach families via phone, since a street count is more difficult with this population. This, in part, led to a more accurate count of unsheltered families starting in 2024. Why it matters The PIT Count is used for federal reporting, and determines allocation of resources for homelessness across city, county, and federal agencies. It also provides an opportunity to compare each bi-annual snapshot with more than two decades of trend data. What it doesn’t capture The PIT Count relies on visual observation, and families are more likely to stay out of sight. The most recent San Francisco PIT Count occurred in the morning, when many families has already left for work or school. It also undercounts those who are unsheltered but happened to have shelter for that one night. San Francisco Shelter Waitlist Source: San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, Shelter and Crisis Interventions dashboard . What it measures The number of eligible families actively waiting for a family shelter placement because no space is currently available. It reflects demand for emergency shelter that exceeds available capacity. Why it matters The waitlist is one of the clearest indicators of unmet need, showing how many families are seeking shelter but cannot immediately access it. Changes in the size of the waitlist can help illustrate shifts in demands for shelter and highlight gaps between available shelter capacity and the number of families needing assistance. There are currently more families on the shelter waitlist than counted as unsheltered in the 2026 PIT count. What it doesn’t capture The shelter waitlist does not include every family experiencing homelessness. Only families who are assessed at an Access Point and meet eligibility requirements for family shelters are included, meaning many families who are doubled up or otherwise unstably housed are not represented. There are also several ways that families are "dropped" from the waitlist, including families who don't check in with Access Points at designated intervals or who decline congregate shelter, even if they remain homeless. Coordinated Entry Assessments Source: San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. Online Navigation and Entry (ONE) System. Data accessed September 2026. What it measures Coordinated Entry Assessments track the number of families who complete San Francisco's standardized assessment process to access publicly funded homelessness resources. Because most families seeking housing assistance begin with this assessment, it provides insight into how many families are entering the homelessness response system. Why it matters Assessment data helps illustrate demand for shelter/housing resources and supportive services by measuring the number of families actively seeking assistance. It also provides a consistent way to understand changes in service demand over time and helps planners anticipate future resource needs. What it doesn’t capture Assessment data includes only families who complete the Coordinated Entry process. Families who never seek services or choose not to engage with the system are not represented. Because assessments can be lengthy and emotionally difficult, some families may face barriers to completing the process, meaning the data does not reflect every family in need. San Francisco Unified School District Students Sources: California Department of Education, DataQuest: Homeless Student Enrollment by Dwelling Type , and California School Dashboard: San Francisco Unified Summary . What it measures San Francisco Unified School District identifies students experiencing homelessness throughout the school year under the federal McKinney-Vento Act. This includes students who, at any point during the previous year, were living in shelters, hotels, vehicles, doubled-up housing situations, or other temporary living arrangements, providing a broader picture of housing instability among school-aged children. Why it matters Because schools interact with students throughout the year, they often identify children and families who never appear in traditional homeless counts or shelter systems. This data also provides valuable insight into the educational impacts of family homelessness and helps reveal housing instability that may otherwise go unnoticed. What it doesn’t capture SFUSD data includes only students enrolled in the district. It does not include infants and preschool-aged children, unenrolled children, or students enrolled outside SFUSD. (Families with children under 5 make up the largest subset of the family homelessness population.) As a result, it offers an important perspective on student homelessness but should not be interpreted as a complete measure of family homelessness citywide. Family homelessness reflects broader inequities in our community. Families of color are disproportionately represented in San Francisco's homelessness response system. These disparities are not the result of individual choices , but of decades of structural inequities in housing, education, wages, employment, lending, and wealth-building that have left some communities at far greater risk of housing instability. Understanding these disparities is critical to creating solutions that are both effective and equitable.
