Who We Help

Referrals are made to us by local social service agencies, such as North Marin Community Services, Gilead House, Catholic Charities Santa Rosa, Homeward Bound, Marin Housing Authority, Jewish Children and Family Services Sonoma and many others. The individuals and families we help have been through major hardships, often having escaped abusive relationships or dangerous, strife-ridden home countries. Before getting a place of their own, they’ve lived on the street, in a single room of an apartment, in a shelter and/or in their vehicle. Thanks to help from local social service agencies, they now have safe and relatively affordable housing with a lease in their name.

They’re not looking for a handout,
but for a hand-up.
