Dear San Francisco Neighbor,

In this difficult time with so many of us sheltering in place and away from our routines and habits, it is more crucial than ever that we lean on and support our fellow neighbors. As the Supervisor of the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services, I am writing to check on you, your neighbors, and your community in this uniquely challenging time. Our team of community liaisons and constituent service representatives are here to help answer questions, offering a helping hand, and support all the families, businesses, and values that make your neighborhood thrive.

I also want to make sure you have access to the most up to date information from the Mayor’s Office and all City departments.

  • Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 1PM, Mayor Breed hosts a press conference along with other City leaders including Police Chief Bill Scott, Director of the Department of Public Health Dr. Grant Colfax, and leadership from other agencies depending on the update. You can tune in on YouTube or on SFGovTV.
  • The City Attorney’s Office has created a website to answer all of the most frequently asked questions from the City’s residents, from parking to construction and childcare, which can be found online here.
  • Lastly, Mayor Breed recently released an interactive COVID-19 tracker which identifies our hardest hit communities by zip code and demographic, as well as our City’s hospital capacity.
