Community Needs Assessment

Addressing systemic issues and serving the community starts and ends with an in-depth understanding of both the problems and those impacted. The Department has engaged a team of outside experts to help us better recognize the greatest obstacles faced by women, girls and nonbinary people in San Francisco. Not only is this comprehensive community needs assessment highlighting where our attention is needed most, it is also helping provide the contours and details of those most affected and marginalized from the systems of oppression that keep them subjugated, struggling and disadvantaged. Findings from this study are expected to be released in late 2024.
