Senior Ambassador

The Community Safety Ambassador Program is part of San Francisco’s “Breaking the Cycle” initiative, which emphasizes a comprehensive approach to tackling homelessness and behavioral health crises. This program deploys specialized and highly trained ambassadors to provide services such as community engagement, intervention and de- escalation, safety presence, street cleaning, overdose recognition and reversal, and connections to the City’s systems of care for people in need.

The goals of the program are to: (1) promote safer and cleaner environments in commercial corridors, parks, neighborhoods, and other locations impacted by drug markets and unsafe, and unsanitary street and sidewalk conditions; (2) de-escalate and stabilize incidents involving unhoused individuals;
