Help Stewart Morton Find a Home: A San Francisco Elder in Need
9/11/25 - Update -The money raised for Stewart went to motel housing at the Motel8 on Van Ness at Lombard. The room rates varied but around $70/night, so the donations very much helped. He ended up getting pneumonia and was in the hospital over at City View on Pine Street for a few weeks back in May, but that was a godsend as he had a good bed and food. He was thrilled to have a real bed and his own room, but unfortunately those funds ran out and was back in a shelter.
Today I came to find out via his nephew that he fell and is back in City View. He is okay, nothing broken and knowing Stewart, he will milk everything out of his stay there. I want to mentioned that I'm thrilled that some in the real estate community have rallied this week to support him. A special thank you goes out to Carol Goldberg and Julie Jay for seeing my post and pushing to our community, KEEP THAT GOING PLEASE, you both are awesome!
At 86 years old, Stewart Morton stands tall at 6'5" but faces challenges that have left him vulnerable and homeless. After dedicating decades to San Francisco real estate—first as a Realtor in the 70s, then spending 26 years as a designer helping countless families showcase and sell their homes—Stewart now finds himself with nowhere to call his own.
A Life of Service Now in Crisis
Stewart's health is failing. With severe balance issues, vision in only one eye, and a history of strokes (one of which I witnessed firsthand), he urgently needs stable housing appropriate for his age and condition. The city shelter system is simply too harsh an environment for an elderly man with his health challenges.
Without family support and with no retirement savings, Stewart—this kind-hearted, eccentric soul who helped shape San Francisco homes for decades—now depends on our compassion.
Your Donation Will Provide:
- Safe, stable housing within San Francisco
- A dignified living situation appropriate for his advanced age
- Peace of mind in his final chapter of life
Every contribution, regardless of size, brings Stewart closer to having a place to call home again. If you know of any San Francisco housing programs or resources for seniors in crisis, please share this information as well.
Let's rally together for a man who spent his career making houses into homes for others. Now it's our turn to help him find one of his own.
