 The highly-regarded Gubbio project at St. Boniface church in San Francisco's Tenderloin community is facing hard times. Nearly 100 homeless men and women, who are now able to sleep in the pews and use the church bathroom, are being forced back onto the streets early next week due to shortened hours and a lack of funding.
