Original source: cbsnews.com

San Francisco city officials reported a new record low in the number of homeless encampments and RVs used for shelter. According to the May 2026 count, tents and structures dropped to 115, while large vehicles fell to 259, a 31% decrease from the previous low. Mayor Daniel Lurie attributed the decline to new housing strategies. Additionally, the RESET Center admitted 510 people for public intoxication between May 4 and June 4, with 29% accepting referrals to ongoing care.

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.

San Francisco begins enforcing two-hour parking limit for unpermitted RVs

San Francisco started enforcing new parking restrictions on November 1, requiring unpermitted RVs to move every two hours or face tickets and towing. The city has issued 270 six-month permits to pre-existing vehicle residents, which exempt them from the limit but require engagement with housing services. The enforcement is part of a broader effort to clear streets, affecting hundreds of residents, while the city has so far moved only one family from an RV into permanent housing.

Bay Area RV homeless crackdown intensifies as cities tighten rules

Cities across the Bay Area are escalating enforcement against people living in RVs and vehicles, with Oakland becoming the latest to approve a policy to speed up towing. The move follows concerns that the city is becoming a sanctuary for displaced residents from other areas. An estimated 20,200 unhoused people live in Alameda and Santa Clara counties, most in vehicles. A 2024 Supreme Court ruling has given cities more authority to enforce camping bans even without available shelter space.
