The Coalition on Homelessness Art Auction has been happening for over 10 years with great success. The Coalition on Homelessness is a grassroots social justice organization dedicated to the elimination of homelessness and its social, political and economic causes. Through a grassroots, peer-based organizing and advocacy model, our homeless and poor members have been able to effect some of the most notable changes in the history of San Francisco homeless policy. Our bottom-up organizing model ensures the voices of some of the most disenfranchised San Franciscans lead the fight against homelessness.
