This is a very in depth report but unfortunately it is on data that is from Jan 2017, before when we started seeing the huge homeless encampments forming all over the place (I have lived in Oakland for 25 years, so only really know about changes there). It shows that the number of homeless people in SF has been about the same since 2013, so I'm not sure it is worth reading the 80 pages to try understand what has changed to make homelessness a much bigger problem recently.
2013=7,350
2015=7,539
2017=7,449
Too bad they don't do it every year. Another survey is due in Jan 2019, and maybe it can help us understand this new level of homelessness going on.
