Emblem for Sanctuary District A in San Francisco
A sanctuary district was a part of a city in the early-21st century United States where all of the city's homeless persons were housed.
History and specifics[]
These districts were supposed to help the homeless find jobs, but instead the state of the economy led to rampant overcrowding and the system became a way for citizens with jobs to ignore the less fortunate. Eventually, the Bell Riots in Sanctuary District A, San Francisco in September 2024 brought the horrible conditions in the districts to the attention of the public.
