San Francisco counted 115 tents and 259 large vehicles in June | The Locally Times
City data shows a 53% decline in tents since January 2026, with current counts at the lowest levels since 2018.
This figure represents a 53% decrease in tents since Mayor Daniel Lurie took office and a 25% decline from the 155 tents counted in February 2026. The Department of Public Health recorded 259 large vehicles on public streets in May 2026. This count is a 31% reduction from the 374 vehicles identified in February and marks the lowest number of large vehicles since the city began tracking this data in 2018. ## RESET Center Operations The Rapid Enforcement, Support, Evaluation, and Triage (RESET) Center, a facility that provides medical and social service referrals for individuals encountered by police, processed over 500 admissions during its first month. The Department of Public Health reports that nearly one-third of these individuals accepted referrals to longer-term care services. Police officers spend an average of 19 minutes at the facility to complete the intake process. The Department of Public Health’s June 9, 2026, report states this duration is shorter than the time required for traditional jail booking. Since the program launched last year, 151 households moved into stable environments, and 114 of those households transitioned into permanent housing. In April 2026, Mayor Lurie directed the Department of Public Health to consolidate street outreach operations. The city also operates a 24/7 crisis stabilization center at 822 Geary Street, which connects individuals in crisis to medical care. ## Homelessness Data The 2026 Point in Time (PIT) Count, an annual census of sheltered and unsheltered individuals, indicates that unsheltered homelessness is at a 15-year low. The count shows an 85% decrease in the number of people living in tents and structures compared to the 2024 count. The records do not specify the total number of individuals displaced or their relocation sites following encampment closures. The city has not provided a breakdown of how many individuals transitioned to city-funded shelters versus those who moved to other jurisdictions. Additionally, the report does not identify the total operational cost or specific funding sources for the RESET Center. ## Key Questions **How many tents are currently on city streets?** The June 2026 quarterly count identified 115 tents and structures across San Francisco. **How many households have been moved into housing?** Since the program launched last year, 114 households have transitioned into permanent housing out of 151 households placed into stable environments.
