In Brief

San Francisco reported a record low of 115 tents and 259 RVs used by homeless people in May 2026. Earlier, the city introduced fines and towing for unregistered RVs and issued 270 temporary permits.

San Francisco reported a new record low in the number of homeless tent encampments and RVs. According to data from May 2026, the number of tents and structures fell to 115, and the number of large vehicles to 259, a 31% decrease from the previous minimum. Mayor Daniel Lurie attributed this to new city housing strategies.

Earlier, starting November 1, 2025, new parking rules for RVs came into effect. Owners of unregistered vehicles may face fines or towing if they do not move them every two hours. The city issued 270 temporary permits that allow exemptions from restrictions if owners participate in social programs.

Additionally, 510 people with intoxication passed through the RESET center in one month, of whom 29% agreed to further treatment.

San Francisco RV residents protest parking ban, city issues permits

Advocates for unhoused people protested San Francisco's new ban on long-term recreational vehicle parking. The city, which counted about 400 RVs in September, has issued permits to 332 vehicles, granting a six-month exemption and priority for permanent housing. Critics argue the city undercounted RVs and failed to notify all residents, while the closure of the city's only safe parking site earlier this year leaves no alternatives.
