One year ago, more than 80 news organizations formed the San Francisco Homeless Project, a groundbreaking initiative to focus on our seemingly intractable homelessness crisis. This week, The Chronicle and our media partners will report on what has changed in the Bay Area over the last year and what more could be done to ease, if not end, the suffering of thousands of people living on our streets, and improve the quality of life for all residents. Since its formation, the award-winning San Francisco Homeless Project has been emulated in several cities around the world.
The Chronicle took a hard look at four core issues of homelessness last summer. Here’s an update on what’s changed since then and what still needs to be done.
