Mission Statement

Hamilton Families' mission is to end family homelessness in the San Francisco Bay Area.

About This Cause

Established in 1985, Hamilton Families is San Francisco’s leading service provider to families experiencing homelessness, with carefully designed programs to prevent homelessness, provide shelter and stability, return families to permanent housing and support the well-being of children experiencing homelessness. Our Housing and Family Services department—encompassing the Shelter Program, Transitional Housing Program, Housing Services, and Real Estate programs—provides the best-in-class housing services experience to families in our programs. The Shelter Program in the Tenderloin provides safe shelter, three meals a day, and critical social services for 60 to 70 families a night for up to six months. Transitional Housing provides housing and support for up to 20 families at high risk for chronic homelessness for 12 months. It provides families with the structure and support they need in order to address the root causes of homelessness and poverty and to assist them in strengthening and developing skills to acquire and maintain permanent housing. Our Housing Services subsidy programs prevent homelessness whenever possible and assists families who have become homeless with housing search assistance, temporary rent assistance, case management, job search assistance, and other services for 12 to 20 months to help them find and retain a permanent home. Our team of Real Estate professionals identifies available housing and works with landlords to accept housing applications from housing subsidy participants. This team also serves as a liaison with landlords throughout our Housing Services subsidy programs. Children and Youth Services are integrated throughout all our programs, providing therapeutic support and enrichment activities to strengthen children’s resiliency, promote academic success, and enhance the parent-child bond.
