Reimagining Behavioral Health and Homeless Services in San Francisco
Cities across the U.S. face critical challenges in behavioral health, substance abuse, and homelessness. San Francisco is leading the way with over 20 groundbreaking projects – either in design, under construction, or recently completed – that provide new solutions, including crisis stabilization units, child and family therapy facilities, and modular buildings.
This course explores lessons learned from these projects, emphasizing post-occupancy analysis, reimagining program design, and optimizing space planning. Through user-centered, integrated solutions, we will demonstrate how to improve service navigation, enhance connectivity, and create more effective support networks for individuals in need.
