Bayview Drop-In Center

Whether you need a place to shower, store your belongings, or pick up a meal, our doors are open.

Providing access to showers, laundry, meals, and lockers, Felton Institute operates a drop-in center at 2111 Jennings Street in the Bayview for San Francisco residents who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

Felton Institute’s Bayview Drop-In Center is committed to supporting San Francisco’s unhoused populations by providing essential services that promote dignity, safety, and well-being. Our goal is to serve as a safe and welcoming space where community members can access basic needs, empowering them to take steps toward stability and self-sufficiency.

We serve individual clients who are 18 years old or older and are currently experiencing homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless in the Bayview and throughout the city and county of San Francisco.
