Our programs
Three ways to expand access
Technology works best when access, accurate information, and community expertise move together.
01 / Find services
SF Service Guide
Launched in 2019, SF Service Guide is an online directory that helps more than 16,000 people each month navigate food, shelter, job training, mental healthcare, and other critical services.
We work with government, nonprofit partners, volunteers, and service providers to keep thousands of listings accurate and useful.
Visit SF Service GuideApproximately $200,000 a year maintains and expands the guide.
02 / Get connected

03 / Build together
Community Representatives
Our Community Representatives have experienced homelessness and other forms of insecurity. They build awareness, work alongside volunteers, and provide essential insight into every program and product.
Their paid expertise keeps ShelterTech accountable to the people our work is designed to serve.
