San Francisco officials are seeking to extend the life of a 70-cabin homeless shelter at 33 Gough St., which opened in March 2022 on a temporary one-year lease.
Cabins, or tiny homes, are an increasingly popular shelter option for cities looking for solutions to homelessness. The idea is to provide a private space that can protect someone from the elements and create alternatives to congregate shelters, which do not work for everyone who experiences homelessness, such as people with pets or those who had harmful experiences in group shelters.
‘A Place for All’ ordinance promises a safe place to sleep for all homeless citizens in S.F. Proposed legislation by Supervisor Rafael Mandelman prioritizes safety and privacy It’s unclear exactly where the remaining individuals landed. They could have gone on to a number of different places, such as living with friends or back on the street.
“It’s a really lovely community. If you’re been on site, you can tell it feels like a neighborhood,” said Emily Cohen, deputy director for communications and legislative affairs at the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. “Our lease is coming to an end, and yet the cabins really are just getting going.”

Some people have found stability and community. Others have witnessed tragedy.
