About this clinic

Medical Respite is a partnership between Community Forward SF and the San Francisco Department of Public Health (DPH). Together we provide short-term residential care that allows individuals experiencing homelessness the opportunity to rest, recover, and heal in a safe environment while accessing medical care and other supportive services. Medical Respite reduces the number of emergency room visits its patients make, along with their contact with police and EMS personnel, thus saving substantial city costs, and helps connect its patients with longer term support services as they heal. Beds at Medical Respite cost less than 10% of hospital beds per night, which average $3,000 per night. The Sobering Center is a 12-bed facility that allows people experiencing the dual traumas of addiction and homelessness to receive the help and care they need to detox themselves. Working with DPH’s medically trained staff, we work with individuals - individuals with nowhere else to go to receive these services - to reach a place where they are safe enough to not harm themselves or others. The Sobering Center reduces the number of emergency room visits its patients make, along with their contact with police and EMS personnel, thus saving substantial city costs, and helps connect its patients with longer term support services as they heal. While we do not force sobriety, we offer the tools, counseling, and referrals should an individual wish to pursue a long-term solution.
