Students and Families Experiencing Homelessness (SAFEH)

Students and Families Experiencing Homelessness (SAFEH) include young people who live:

• Temporarily living in a motel or hotel due to loss of housing, economic hardship, natural disaster, or similar reason
• Sharing housing with other(s), like more than one family, due to loss of housing, economic hardship, natural disaster, lack of adequate housing, or similar reason (aka “doubled-up” or “tripled up”) 
• Living in a car, park, trailer park, campground, abandoned building, on the streets or other inadequate accommodations (i.e., lack of water, electricity, or heat)
• In a shelter (family, domestic violence, youth shelter, or transitional living program)
• With friends or family because they run away or are an unaccompanied youth

In addition to enrollment and academic rights, students eligible for SAFEH services may also receive additional support and resources from SFUSD. There are 3 ways you can share your housing status:

1. Upon enrollment (or re-enrollment) to SFUSD
2. Completing an online Emergency Card available on Parentvue
3. Completing an AB27 paper survey (below) and returning it to your school's front office
