Organizations Filed Purposes: HAMILTON FAMILIES' MISSION IS TO END FAMILY HOMELESSESS IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA.

RAPID RE-HOUSING PROGRAMS:HOUSING SOLUTIONS: THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO MOVE FAMILIES INTO PERMANENT HOUSING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, AND TO ASSIST AT-RISK FAMILIES TO AVOID EVICTION. SOME OF THE CORE ELEMENTS OF THE PROGRAM INCLUDE: THE ALLOCATION OF MORE RESOURCES TOWARD THE GOAL OF PREVENTING FAMILIES FROM ENTERING SHELTER: ENHANCED HOME-BASED SUPPORT SERVICES; TEMPORARY RENTAL SUBSIDIES; AND RAPIDLY RE-HOUSING FAMILIES WHO ARE IN SHELTER PROGRAMS. HAMILTON'S STAFF WORKS WITH FAMILIES TO CLEAR EVICTION AND CREDIT PROBLEMS, FOLLOW A SAVINGS PLAN, SECURE RENTAL UNITS, AND ACCESS MOVE-IN GRANTS. FAMILIES CONTINUE TO BENEFIT FROM SERVICES AND SUPPORT FOR A FULL YEAR AFTER THEY ARE PLACED IN PERMANENT HOUSING.

AFTER A YEAR, FAMILIES ARE ELIGIBLE TO GRADUATE FROM THE PROGRAM. FAMILIES MAY APPLY FOR AN EXTENSION OF THE RENTAL SUBSIDY PROGRAM ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. HEADING HOME: HEADING HOME IS AN EXPANSION OF OUR EXISTING RAPID RE-HOUSING PROGRAM THAT BEGAN IN 2016. THIS PROGRAM IS BASED ON A MODEL THAT HELPS FAMILIES MOVE INTO HOUSING, AND FOCUSES ON IMPROVING THE RATE OF SUCCESS OF LONG-TERM STABILITY FOR FAMILIES. THIS PROGRAM WILL INCLUDE INNOVATION AND PILOTING OF NEW METHODOLOGIES. THE HEADING HOME TEAM WILL WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTNERS TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF THESE INNOVATIONS FOCUSED ON LONG-TERM FAMILY STABILITY.

HAMILTON FAMILY RESIDENCES: THE HAMILTON SHELTER PROGRAM OPERATES ONE OF THE LARGEST SHELTERS FOR FAMILIES EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN SAN FRANCISCO, OFFERING A SAFE PLACE TO SLEEP, THREE MEALS A DAY AND CRITICAL SOCIAL SERVICES TO 50 FAMILIES A NIGHT FOR UP TO SIX MONTHS. FAMILIES AT THE SHELTER RECEIVE CASE MANAGEMENT, HOUSING SEARCH ASSISTANCE, JOB TRAINING AND OTHER SUPPORT.

HAMILTON FAMILY TRANSITIONAL PROGRAM: THIS PROGRAM OFFERS 20 FAMILIES TEMPORARY HOUSING IN THEIR OWN APARTMENTS AND COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT SERVICES FOR UP TO 18 MONTHS. THE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM GIVES THEM TIME TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS THE CAUSES OF THEIR HOMELESSNESS. FAMILIES IMPROVE BUDGETING, PARENTING, AND OTHER LIFE SKILLS WHILE PREPARING FOR ECONOMIC AND HOUSING STABILITY. IN NOVEMBER 2015, HAMILTON OPENED A SECOND TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM IN SAN FRANCISCO, TO HOUSE UP TO SEVEN FAMILIES EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS WITH AN OPEN CHILD WELFARE CASE.
