SAFEH Forms & Information for Staff

California Education Code (AB2375) requires all schools to administer an annual survey to identify students and families experiencing homelessness. School clerks, admin assistants, and registrars should work with site admin and CCT (ex. school social workers and school counselors) to distribute the housing survey at the start of each school year, and make paper copies available at the school's main office. 

These are key documents to use to identify and document students' homeless status:

• Housing Surveys (in multiple languages)
• Updating a Student's Housing Status in Synergy

In addition to the annual housing survey, students and families can report their homeless and housing transition status by

1. Answering the housing question during the enrollment process
2. Completing the annual online Emergency Card on ParentVue

Review this flow chart for an overview of SFUSD's homeless identification and reporting process. 

Please use this form to request school supplies, basic needs, or school of origin transportation support for students experiencing homelessness. 

Requests are reviewed by the central SAFEH team. Detailed responses are important to expedite approval and possible identification of additional resources or services for the student/s.

If you have any questions or request for consultation, please reach out to the (SAFEH) team

PLEASE NOTE: For SY23-24, supplies will be distributed via district mail to school sites. Pick-up at 20 Cook Street may also be arranged for staff, students, or families.
