ShelterTech is an award-winning non-profit organization dedicated to resolving the significant technological obstacles faced by individuals experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity in San Francisco. With a mission to bridge the digital divide, ShelterTech believes that digital equity and connectivity are fundamental rights, not privileges. The pressing issue of homelessness in San Francisco, with over 9,000 people currently unsheltered and tens of thousands more at risk of eviction, has been compounded by the city's tech boom, exacerbating the affordable housing crisis.

In collaboration with the City of San Francisco, frontline service organizations, local corporations, and community representatives, ShelterTech is committed to delivering community-driven solutions. ShelterTech's initiatives include the SF Service Guide, an online directory of human services in San Francisco, the ShelterConnect program that provides free WiFi installations in shelters and community centers, and the Community Representative program that brings volunteers and underserved community members together to enhance ShelterTech programs. Founded by Darcel Jackson, who personally experienced homelessness and recognized the lack of resources available, ShelterTech aims to bridge the digital divide and empower individuals to escape homelessness by leveraging technology.

Together, we can make a difference
