Are you or a loved one experiencing homelessness in San Francisco?

San Francisco Department of Homelessness & Supportive Housing is the first step for people experiencing homelessness. Please visit the HSH website.

Project Homeless Connect has some excellent resources as well. BiSHoP is not set up to provide immediate or emergency housing to individuals or families.

Client Stories

Carlos

After his release from incarceration, Carlos Flores did everything he could to turn his life around. First, he found temporary housing through a residential re-entry program for ex-offenders. Then, he started working two baking jobs to save money for his own place, and even started his own carpet cleaning business…

Rosemary

When Rosemary and her senior parents first came to BiSHoP in 2017, they were renting a 2-bedroom in-law unit and did not have a formal lease agreement. Their landlord told them they needed to move out, but did not give a reason or definite timeline…

Rocio

When a fire destroyed their building in the Mission District in 2015, Rocio and her family had their lives turned upside down. They experienced a bout of homelessness for a while, and then they lived in temporary housing...

Mousa

In 2017, Mousa came to BiSHoP seeking assistance in applying to affordable apartments because his studio in the Tenderloin was too small for his growing family.

"Thanks to BiSHoP, I will be able to pay my rent. I was struggling with the rent I owed and feeling desperate. BiSHoP has helped alleviate a hopelessness that I've felt for so long."

JUAN

"Without BiSHoP, I wouldn't have known what to do or where to go to apply for affordable housing. To have support with paperwork and interpretation up until the studio came through was so important. Without BiSHoP, I would not have been able to pay for my own apartment."

KHADIJA

"It's hard to find good people. People who care. That's why I was so happy to find your organization."
