OUR IMPACT

Ending family homelessness is a partnership between our staff and our families

Families experiencing homelessness are the true experts on how it impacts their daily lives. Their awareness and insight helps us, as providers and advocates, to ask the right questions and design the best interventions.

Hamilton Families is one of San Francisco’s leading service providers to families experiencing homelessness. Our array of highly effective programs work with families across the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. We are nationally recognized for our pioneering Rapid Re-Housing programs and Housing First approach but while we have a rich history of success, we are not content with the status quo.

Families are the strongest weapon in the fight to end family homelessness

As providers, our housing specialists are identifying new services and interventions every day. But the voices of families experiencing homelessness and their case workers are essential for our programs to be meaningful and successful.

Hear From Families and the Staff Working to Support Them

In the words of families experiencing homelessness in our programs and caregivers themselves come stories of hope and struggle.

Supporting Essential Frontline Case Workers

We believe in a culture that supports staff by communicating transparently and engaging in work that is meaningful. This means promoting accountability and ownership and continuous assurance that women, staff of color and LGBTQIA+ staff, are seen, heard, and understood. We believe these investments strengthen Hamilton Families’ ability to best support low income and families of color in our community.

Caring for Homeless Services Staff During the COVID-19 Pandemic

With over 150 caregivers on staff, Hamilton Families is following the example of the National Alliance to End Homelessness in caring for our frontline workers during the pandemic, doubling down on our commitment not only to families but to the staff supporting them.

_____

Strengthening and Funding High Impact Family Services

We strive to deepen the scope of existing programs to serve our participants and their children better so stability and growth can be a reality, continue to expand our geographic reach to the families to improve our quality-of-service delivery, and facilitate relationships with housing developers and landlords regionally.

_____

Advocating for Greater Affordable Housing and Investment

Most of the families in our programs are led by single Black and Brown mothers; over 87 percent! Therefore, we must address the root causes of family homelessness (poverty, racial inequity, mental illness, addiction, and domestic violence) at a systems level. We will level up our engagement in budget advocacy and legislative support to drive meaningful change where it is needed most to ensure successful housing and the brightest future for participants.

California must invest $17.9 billion every year over the next decade toward homelessness solutions and affordable housing funding to advance equity and ensure all Californians have a stable place to call home.
