The San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing presented its full report on data from the Point-in-Time Count conducted in January to the Homelessness Oversight Commission on Thursday.

The collected data are often used to shape policy decisions. The 2026 report was meant to be released last month, but it was delayed until just after the election. The report showed a 27% increase in homelessness among children since the 2024 count — from 618 to 786. Of those counted, 190 were unsheltered, according to the report.

San Francisco asks state to investigate PG&E after 40 outages

On a gray evening in the Richmond District, the lights failed without warning, and the block settled into a familiar hush. Refrigerators clicked off. A streetcar sat dark at the corner. In apartments above the shops, people reached for phone flashlights the way earlier generations reached for matches. City officials now want a formal answer to why this keeps happening. Their request, built around the record of PG&E outages SF, asks state regulators to examine at least 40 large unplanned outages since January 2026 and to decide whether the utility has met the standard the public is entitled to expect.
