About Us
Who We Are
We are a diverse team of highly collaborative volunteers, passionate about helping our unhoused community members – our neighbors – and our community.
We are engineers, finance and business professionals, lawyers, clinicians, university and high school students, as well as former clients who have experienced life unhoused. We bring different skills to help on-site and remotely.

Collaborations with other service providers and organizations
New grants funded our ability to continually innovate and advance our impact. Along with our first in-person fundraiser and first Giving Tuesday campaign, we were able to:
- Hire our first independent contractors to support growth
- Provide temporary hotel stays for dozens of our most vulnerable clients
- Fund client management software
Generous donations from individuals along with several generous grants amplified our ability to provide assistance to those in need of help.
A few of our key milestones included inaugurating our first Lived Experience Advisory Board, launching a Self-Sufficiency Program, hiring a team of six former and current clients for MyConnectSV, as well as broad exposure, telling our story to more people through the Mercury News Wish Book campaign.
