'''Welcome to {{SITENAME}}'''<br>

a resource directory that [[{{SITENAME}}:FAQ|anyone can edit]]

</p>

'''San Francisco Homeless Resource''' is a collaborative website for homeless advocates, providers, government and others in San Francisco. The wiki is a new evolution of how all parties helping the homeless can get together and share information efficiently and quickly.

The site can be updated by any user, so everyone can add and update information -- allowing much greater efficiency in serving the homeless community in San Francisco.

Check out the [[San Francisco Homeless Resource:FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]] page to learn more about how to be a part of the wiki!

'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''' <span style="color: red;">IMPORTANT WIKI NEWS 2015! </span>This month January 2015 marks the 8th year anniversary of SFHomeless.net. SFHomeless.net receives up to 2,000 hits a day and is prominently featured in top Google search results. Yet despite this important role the wiki plays in helping promote our City's homeless resources, we still do not have regular contributions from the people who use the database, and more importantly, we are not getting the "new" changes that people in the know should be adding. Many edits are left to the administrators to handle, and usually one administrator, David. Well, David "may" be leaving the Bay Area this year, and what happens to SFHomeless.net is hard to say. At worst it will falter and the data will grow old and become a nuisance, at which time the site will need to be taken down. But, if 2015 is the year people finally come together to maintain the wiki as a community in larger numbers, then we have a chance. Every year a new duplication of homeless resources gets created by someone. Instead we should be trying to figure a way to manage one efficient database, and hopefully one that the community owns, not just the government or some large agency (they should be users and contributors and co-owners). That was the dream in 2007 when we started SFHomeless.net, and 2015 will decide its fate. If you use and love SFHomeless.net, and plan to be in the SF area for a while (years), then please contact [mailto:david@sfrevival.org David] to discuss becoming an administrator and keep SFHomeless.net alive for years to come. Thank you.

'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''' <span style="color: red;">NEW DIRECTORY MAPPING FUNCTIONS! </span> SF Homeless Resource has received a generous charitable donation of programming from [http://www.brutelabs.org/ BRUTE LABS] in the form of mapping/directory summaries added to each of the wiki's hundreds of agencies. You will see these summaries on the page, but you can also see them as they are regenerated on [http://www.projectopensf.org/ projectOPEN] so that they can be seen together and used in various searches. Thank you BRUTE LABS!

'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''' <span style="color: red;">SF HOMELESS RESOURCE WIKI IS AD FREE! </span>SF Homeless Resource is a non-profit administered resource web site and is being hosted without ads! We hope that this change will allow users at concerned agencies to contribute more freely, or permit their employees to use SF Homeless Resource without violating any internal internet usage policies. Enjoy!

'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''' <span style="color: red;">OUR FACEBOOK GROUP!</span> - [http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=67344076255 SF Homeless Resource Wiki Facebook Group] - We will use this Facebook group to promote SF Homeless Resource Wiki. Please join and tell people you know who would be interested in joining.

'''Welcome!''' The final agencies from the HAP Manual have been uploaded, and now it's time for the community to start using the resources, and to improve them. We want this site to be a new level of service for the homeless by providing greater knowledge in a more efficient way. The potential for the site and its uses is limitless, and we hope to use the larger wiki community and its resources to add more to SFHOMELESS.NET in the future. If you have any ideas or suggestions to add new features, please contact the [[San Francisco Homeless Resource:About |administrators]].

Thank you.

We have received lots of feedback from all of you saying how much you love SF Homeless Resource Wiki! But this site isn't about us making some changes here and there, but about you coming forth with your knowledge and wisdom and sharing it!!

<br />

'''Wish 1:''' More people pressing EDIT on the top of the agency page they're visiting -- and then ''adding'' useful info, or new info, or changed info, etc.!

<br />

'''Wish 2:''' Please contribute to the [[How Do You - Main Portal]]. In it you the expert share with others how to do something that you probably explain to others all day long anyway. I hear from people all the time how they don't know common procedures, and don't know where to go to get some info. ''PLEASE HELP'' by writing down the answers to these questions and then you might not have to answer them on phone so much because this page will turn into this great resource that people will naturally check first before calling you!

<br />

'''Wish 3:''' Please contribute to the newly created [[Homelessness Policy Overview]] page. There is so much policy angst in this City with all the different approaches to all the different areas of how we help the homeless, that we need a place to write it all down to properly educate ourselves. And not just for the provider community but the public too. They need a place beside the media to get arguments for-and-against these different proposals that seem to come out every week.

<br />

'''Wish 4:''' Another plea for Wish 1. It's easy to EDIT info on a page. Click on EDIT on the top of every page and a Word-like page opens up, and you change the info as easy a editing a Word doc. Then press SAVE. You're done. Easy. You've contributed! Thank you!

<br />

'''Wish 5:''' Please contribute to the newly created [[Neighborhood Portal Project]]. This is going to be awesome when it's done. All we need are volunteers to help add Neighborhood categories to existing agency pages. Then one day soon someone needing a service in their neighborhood can click and get help because a client is more willing to go some place local to them instead of going into the Tenderloin or Civic Center where a lot of services seem to be congested.
