Now in its 34rd year, the Interfaith Winter Shelter Program opened on Monday, November 21, 2022, increasing shelter capacity for people experiencing homelessness in San Francisco during winter. The program will run through March 26, 2023. This collaboration between Episcopal Community Services, the San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH), and the San Francisco Interfaith Council (SFIC) serves up to 67 individuals experiencing homelessness. The interfaith partners are rotating host responsibilities, with ECS' Canon Kip Senior Center hosting the shelter from Nov. 21 to Dec. 18 and again from March 3 through March 26, 2022.
All sites welcome all genders, and will be accepting self-referrals.
