Project Homeless Connect
Don’t Defund Dignity, Compassion, and Hope
Since 2004, Project Homeless Connect (PHC) has been a vital partner in San Francisco’s homelessness response. PHC has been a vital bridge in San Francisco—linking our unhoused neighbors with the care, dignity, and services they deserve. Defunding PHC doesn’t just cut a contract—it dismantles a proven model of compassion, trust, and access. We are not a handout—we are a HandUp, reaching across systems to connect people to real, lasting help.
What’s Happening Now
On May 30, the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing gave notice of their intent to defund PHC’s government contract fully, cutting: 🔻 93% of our operating budget, 🔻 100% of our community outreach.
This would dismantle a trusted frontline access point, sever life-saving services, and turn our backs on the people who need care the most.
Your Voice Can Stop This
Help us send a clear message to City leadership: Defunding PHC does not support our unhoused neighbors—it abandons them.

- 🏛️ Show up at City Hall 📍 Monday, 6/23/25 • BOS Chambers, Room 250 • Wear your PHC shirt

Why It Matters:
Project Homeless Connect is more than a service provider—it’s a lifeline, a human bridge, and a 21-year investment in dignity, prevention, and impact. Every day, our team prevents overdoses, diverts emergency room visits, and connects people to real solutions.
Please stand with us to protect what matters most.
We meet people where they are—on the street, in crisis, in need—with compassionate care and proven support:
- Housing Navigation
- Problem Solving
- Street outreach and overdose prevention, connections, and referrals
- Legal, medical, dental, dentures, optical
- Benefit enrollment
- Behavioral health referrals
- Hygiene kits, basic needs, and food
- And our quarterly large-scale events that bring over 75 service providers and 300 to 400 volunteers under one roof
If we close, that safety net vanishes.
Take Action. Stand with PHC. Save Lives.
