Our Impact:
Each year, SFHSA's 2,400-trained professionals connect more than 225,000 San Franciscans to 60+ essential services. We also fund partnerships with hundreds of community-based providers who share our mission and help extend our reach into the community.

SFHSA provides direct services at our nine locations across the City and, in some cases, in people's homes.

With an annual budget of more than $1 billion dollars, we deliver dozens of publicly funded programs and work closely with all levels of government to achieve our mission.

A San Francisco where everyone has the opportunity and support to achieve their full potential through all stages of life.

Mission
At the Human Services Agency, we are committed to delivering essential services that support and protect people, families, and communities. We partner with neighborhood organizations and advocate for public policies to improve well-being and economic opportunity for all San Franciscans.

4. Advancement of Diversity and Racial Equity: We are committed to a culture of inclusion where our differences are celebrated. Everyone should have what they need to thrive -- no matter their race, age, ability, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or country of origin. We are committed to combating systemic racism and advancing racial equity in all aspects of our work.

5. Strength in Partnership: We are dedicated to working together as an agency and with organizations that help further our mission and deepen our connections to the community. Through collaboration, open communication, and thoughtful exchange of ideas, we help San Franciscans achieve greater potential.
