Housing Security Grants

The lack of affordable housing in the San Francisco Bay Area has reached a crisis point. Low-income Bay Area households with high rent burdens face housing and economic insecurity that disrupt family stability, now and in the future.

​

Safe, secure housing for families lets them stabilize their lives, providing a foundation for them to address other challenges they may face. Stable housing complements other safety net services and lets children focus on education. It is the first step on the pathway out of poverty.

​

We extend Housing Security Grants to partners who prioritize the well-being of families, youth, and young adults facing the housing crisis. Because families experiencing housing insecurity have unique needs, our grantees provide a variety of models of housing solutions to meet those needs. They offer permanent supportive housing, temporary and transitional housing and serve families with children, young adults, youth exiting the foster care system, and immigrants. No two grantees offer the same support, but they all focus on equipping our vulnerable neighbors with the resources and opportunities they need for stability and long-term self-sufficiency.
