San Francisco Homeless to Be Sheltered in the Palace of Fine Arts

The Palace of Fine Arts will begin serving as a homeless shelter as early as at the end of this week, March 10, with 20-25 to come in and planning for a total of 162.

It was on Friday, April 2 that Governor Newsom of California said the state would use its thousands of hotel rooms to shelter people living on the streets.

The California homeless population numbers 150,000.   FEMA has helped California identify 15,000 hotel or motel rooms.

Because public libraries have closed, homeless people can't go there for clean water or to use the bathroom.

Moscone Center is being used to house the people in single room occupancies because they don't have their own bathroom or kitchen.

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
