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."
