Impact & History

Mission Statement:

The Mission of Project Homeless Connect is to connect San Franciscans experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing homelessness with the care they need to move forward.

Impact Goals:

  • To connect people to services and systems of care efficiently and effectively that would otherwise be difficult to access.
  • To build a more compassionate San Francisco.

History of PHC

In 2004, then-Mayor Gavin Newsom and the San Francisco Department of Public Health created Project Homeless Connect (PHC) as a way to bring necessary services to people experiencing homelessness in San Francisco. As of July 2020, PHC is a program of Community Initiatives, a nonprofit fiscal sponsor.

PHC uses a unique approach to service delivery to meet the needs of homeless San Franciscans. We are serving more than 6,000 people every year through Community Day of Service events and in-house weekly services.  In one day at a Community Day of Service event, a person experiencing homelessness can find services that would otherwise take months to secure. Volunteers, nonprofits, and government agencies provide participants with services through PHC.  These services include dental care, eyeglasses, HIV testing, HepA Vaccines, housing information, groceries, hygiene products, medical care, mental health services, SSI benefits, legal advice, California identification cards, voice mail accounts, employment counseling/job placement, wheelchair repair, addiction services, and more.

In 2012, we launched Every Day Connect, our weekly in-office program.  Every Day Connect is a program within PHC that builds on the success of our large-scale service events. Every Day Connect works to connect people experiencing homelessness with social and medical services and resources on a daily basis.

In response to the changing needs of the homeless and low-income population, PHC continues to expand our resources and events. By leveraging the power of thousands of Bay Area volunteers and hundreds of local nonprofits and government agencies, PHC truly represents a community response to a community problem.
