Content on the SF Service Guide is vetted for accuracy via a number of partnerships and processes.
Submissions by Human Service Providers
Human Services providers can send us information about their organization and services. More information on that process can be found here.
Bi-Weekly Datathons
Every two weeks Sheltertech hosts an event called a Datathon where we invite members of the homeless community and volunteers to work together to vet resources in the SF Service Guide directory. During these events, information from publicly available sources and the first hand experience from users of human services is matched against the records in our database.
Certification by the Homeless Advocacy Project of the SF Bar Association's Justice and Diversity Project
The Homeless Advocacy Project (HAP) produced a print directory of human services in San Francisco for the past 25 years and provide a much needed level of knowledge and institutional oversight to our data vetting process. After resources have been vetted through our datathon process, changes are passed along to HAP for their review and approval.
