A partnership with the San Francisco Homeless Outreach Team that dedicated two workers full-time to downtown San Francisco BART stations had such success in its first year that it’s being expanded in 2019.

The two workers, Jessie Jones and Robbie Fischer, spend their days walking the Civic Center, Powell Street, Montgomery Street and Embarcadero stations, making contact with homeless people and offering to connect them to services such as housing, mental health care or drug addiction treatment.
