Pregnancy Resources Guide for Unhoused Patrons in San Francisco: This mini resource guide lists organizations in San Francisco that provide resources and services to pregnant folks who are unhoused, low-income, or otherwise facing significant barriers to receiving healthcare. Pregnancy and early postpartum can be a stressful time in anyone’s life, but those in the unhoused community may be especially vulnerable. There are many organizations in San Francisco that are doing amazing work to support these individuals and their families and not all of them are included in this guide. Rather, this guide highlights a variety of resources and services that could work together to address a pregnant person’s holistic needs. This mini resource guide was designed as a webpage that would be publicly accessible to library patrons, potentially as a page on the public library’s website. View the Canva presentation.
