Abstract

Since the early stage, homeless services in San Francisco have been provided through cooperation between the human services and public health departments, with the latter adopting an inclusionary harm reduction policy for these services. However, recent federal homelessness policy stressing service outcomes and growing socio-economic pressure of gentrification could pose a threat to the city's inclusionary regime. This article argues that the homeless support system of San Francisco integrates efficient models promoted by the Federal Government such as Housing First as a low-threshold, inclusionary approach, without overemphasising their outcomes. Local homeless services also show that their harm reduction philosophy is associated with not only accepting attitudes to homeless people but also the empowerment of poor communities, which may serve as a grassroots response to urban restructuring forces.
