Hello, I created this map to bring attention to the issue of homelessness.

Not to insult people or places. Not to further political agendas unrelated to homelessness. Not to track anything. Not because it was necessary. Kindly take action, educate yourself, and help alleviate homelessness by clicking on About. Google Maps API now charges for usage. This map was available for free for five years and I don't want to pay to maintain it. It's time we moved on anyway!

If you absolutely must see how many people report human and animal waste on San Francisco streets, you can create your own map here:

Data SF - 311 Cases

If you want to do something to help, donate to or volunteer with these organizations:

Here are some great articles that address the problem of homelessness and lack of resources for those experiencing homelessness in San Francisco:

And please consider donating to lava mae, a service that provides mobile showers and toilets to the homeless, or project homeless connect, a non profit that provides comprehensive holistic services to those experiencing homelessness, or the st. anthony foundation, a foundation providing essential support to San Franciscans living in poverty, or homeless prenatal program, a family resource center providing poor and homeless families the ability to end childhood poverty.
