Scott Walton

Scott W. Walton is retired from 19 years of managing programs serving people experiencing homelessness for the City and County of San Francisco, including planning, design, and oversight of shelters, navigation centers, outreach programs, and permanent supportive housing. For 3 years, his City employment included managing COVID Pandemic programs. Prior to the City, he had a 20-year history of managing nonprofit organizations in California, Michigan, and Ohio; six of those years were involved serving seniors, families, youth, LGBTQ individuals, and persons with AIDS experiencing homelessness.

He has lived in San Francisco since moving to California in 1989. From his history of program design, development, and management within government, nonprofit, and for-profit business employment, he hopes to apply evidence-based review, an equity perspective, and experience with providers, government and the people being served to his participation in the Our City, Our Home Oversight Committee. He has experience as a cook and professional baker, musician, artist, and hiker, and will be exploring these and other adventures in retirement.
