This may be true nationally, but it is not true in SF.

Nope, it's still true. From: http://sfgov.org/lhcb/sites/sfgov.org.lhcb/files/2015%20San%...

The number of chronically homeless individuals and families in San Francisco continues to decline. In 2015, 25% of survey respondents were chronically homeless, compared to 31% in 2013. Based on Point-in-Time Count data, it was estimated there were 1,745 chronically homeless individuals and 18 chronically homeless families living in San Francisco on January 29, 2015.

I went through that survey too. But self-reported surveys run a huge risk of bias. The respondents sometimes say what they think you want them to say.
Don't bring facts into this!
