In San Francisco, the government estimates that there are about 6,400 people living on the street or in shelters. The numbers have increased only slightly over the past few years, but with the lack of housing in the city, many are wondering what the county is doing to help. Bevan Dufty works with the mayor’s office as the Director of Housing Opportunity, Partnerships and Engagement, or HOPE.
