The San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution on April 8, 2025 declaring the City and County of San Francisco as a sanctuary for women seeking housing, with a specific commitment to safe, gender-specific housing and wrap-around support services for survivors of domestic abuse, sexual exploitation, human trafficking, and street entrapment. The resolution highlights that over 41% of the homeless population identifies as women or gender nonbinary while less than 5% of services are in gender-specific spaces, and calls attention to a 37% drop in federal Crime Victims Fund resources impacting local support programs. Sponsored by Supervisors Chan, Chen, Melgar, Fielder, Mandelman, and Walton, the measure urges City Departments to coordinate investments in safe shelter, affordable housing, and comprehensive services, and notes Proposition A’s $30 million bond allocation for survivors. It reaffirms San Francisco’s leadership role in addressing homelessness and gender-based violence through strategic, evidence-based, and community-driven solutions.
