Mayor Daniel Lurie today announced that unsheltered homelessness in San Francisco is at its lowest level in 15 years, according to preliminary data from the 2026 Point in Time (PIT) Count. The data shows a significant decline in homelessness across San Francisco, with 1,000 fewer people on the street and unsheltered homelessness decreasing by 22% since the 2024 count—reaching the lowest level recorded since 2011—and the total number of people experiencing homelessness down 4% since 2024. The PIT Count also showed an 85% drop in people living in tents and structures, after the city recorded a record low number of tent encampments in March.
