S.F.’s first sober homeless shelter is close to capacity. Could more follow? As its waiting list grows, the Salvation Army believes the SoMa shelter’s popularity could indicate demand for other sober housing alternatives.

While drugs are prohibited at all HSH funded programs, we fully support the work of Hope House in helping people achieve and maintain sobriety on their journey to housing.
