Help Turn Empty Units Into Homes

Any vacant apartment can become a safe and stable home for someone transitioning from homelessness. Find out how you can help people looking for a home today.

Existing Homes Are part of the solution

There’s stable housing for people to Exit Homelessness all across San Francisco.

Currently, people, including families, youth, and senior citizens, are cycling between short-term shelters and the streets.  New construction is critical to increasing housing supply, but the average new housing development takes five to seven years to complete. To meet the urgency of this moment and make more homes immediately available, we must also help people transition into existing units to move rapidly toward our goal of housing 1,100 people. Stable homes with services provided by leading service providers have proven to be an effective and efficient way to help people permanently break the cycle of homelessness.
