ShelterTech is a tech non-profit founded in 2016 that is focused on leveraging technology to help address homelessness and bridge the digital divide. Through a grant provided by the San Francisco Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Develop (MOHCD), our volunteer led team has built and launched SF Service Guide, a powerful online directory platform built specifically for those experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity. SF Service Guide seeks to provide easy navigation and up-to-date information to over 500 resources delivering over 1,700 services in San Francisco.

ShelterTech believes that everyone has the right to connectivity.

Consistent internet access is necessary to help individuals find housing, employment, or medical services, as well as to stay connected to family and friends. To help with this, ShelterTech also has its ShelterConnect program, where we have partnered with the City of San Francisco and corporate IT sponsors to provide installations of free WiFi in 25 shelters and SROs serving over 2,200 residents every day, with additional projects in the pipeline.
