Year after year, San Franciscans cite homelessness as one of their top concerns. Yet, many San Franciscans struggle to understand why homelessness persists, and even more are at a loss as to what we need to do to end it (all the more so during the pandemic).
Join us to explore these questions during our virtual event on Thursday, December 17: A Direction Home-What Will It Take To Solve Homelessness During COVID-19? We’ll be talking with national and local experts who are leading policy and programs to solve homelessness.
We'll dive deep into homelessness—and the actions being taken to solve this issue as COVID spikes and winter hits. And most importantly, we'll discover what our part of the solution is and why solutions to homelessness begin with you and me.

The Northern California Earthquake, April 18, 1906
Image of the Origin Time And Epicenter of the Northern California Earthquake in 1906
Origin Time and Epicenter
At 5:12 AM local time, on April 18, 1906, a foreshock occurred with sufficient force to be felt widely throughout the San Francisco Bay area. The great earthquake broke loose some 20 to 25 seconds later, with an epicenter in the Pacific Ocean just 2 miles west of San Francisco. Within 30 seconds of the start of the main rupture, very strong shaking had swept throughout the entire San Francisco Bay Area, and lasted some 45 to 60 seconds. To learn more about the epicenter see Location of the 1906 Focal region.

Andrew Jackson Bryant 17th Mayor of San Francisco
Time in office December 6, 1875---November 30, 1879

On Juvenile offenders
He called it a "gross injustice to send children of tender years" to the city's Industrial School "who, guiltless of crime, but for the misfortune of being orphans or having worthless parents. are there confined and treated as criminals, forced to associate with depravity, and when released [are] sent forth penniless and branded with a badge of disgrace." He urged establishment of separate "wards" for these children.[22]

Thought this was interesting how history often repeats itself. The mayor also drowned in the San Francisco bay during a ferry accident.

Supreme Court lets stand ruling that protects homeless who sleep on sidewalk Supreme Court lets stand a ruling in a case from Boise, Idaho, that said homeless people have a right to sleep on the streets if a city doesn't have enough shelters to house them.
