SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Outreach workers in San Francisco visit homeless people living in tents to match them with shelter. But it’s not a straightforward process. San Francisco has more shelter beds than ever before and a mayor who says she’s fed up with people living outdoors when they’ve been offered a bed. Sometimes a person is eager to move inside but there are no beds. Other times, there are shelter beds but no interest. Some homeless people say they do not want to be warehoused in group shelters. They want privacy and they want to stay with their friends and keep their belongings.
