It is my distinct privilege to recognize Shireen in honor of her retirement and to thank her for more than three decades of dedicated service to seniors, people with disabilities, and individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
As a proud Bayview resident and District 10 constituent, Shireen's commitment to public service has extended far beyond her professional responsibilities.
She has not only worked on behalf of San Franciscans throughout her career, but has also been an active member of the community she calls home.
When Shareem was appointed Executive Director of the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing in 2021, she stepped into one of the most challenging leadership roles in local government.
She brought with her a deep understanding of public service,
a commitment to equity, and a vision for building systems that truly serve people with dignity and respect.
Over the course of her tenure, Shireen transformed not only a department, but the way San Francisco approaches homelessness.
She strengthened accountability through data-driven planning and performance management.
established the department's first equity office, and embedded racial equity into the fabric of HSH's work.
Her leadership ensured that the voices of people with lived experience helped shape policy and practice, creating a more responsive and inclusive system.
Under her guidance, HSH expanded shelter capacity, launched innovative programs such as the city's first cabin communities,
The first shelter specifically designed for older adults experiencing homelessness and advanced recovery-focused services that have helped hundreds of individuals begin new chapters in their lives.
During her leadership, thousands of people moved from homelessness into stable housing.
Thousands more households were prevented from becoming homeless and tens of thousands of adults, families and children received critical shelter and support services.
Shireen also understood that lasting change requires partnership.
She strengthened collaboration across city departments,
community-based organizations, advocates, philanthropy, neighborhood stakeholders, and service providers, helping build a more coordinated and effective response to homelessness throughout San Francisco.
Her leadership has left a lasting impact on our city, our institutions, and the countless lives she has touched along the way.
We extend our deepest gratitude for your years of service and visionary leadership.
Your legacy will continue to shape this city for years to come.
