Project Homeless Connect works directly with those seeking services, as well as with case managers and staff from other agencies, to make connections to hard-to-access resources, services and goods on a daily basis. These resources can help you make a successful transition from homelessness to housing. Whether you are a case manager referring a client or an individual in need of services, we will work with you to meet your resource or service needs. We serve the most vulnerable San Franciscans by delivering services in the office and via phone. Our intention is to streamline and close the gap between service and need.
Our Service Facilitators are ready to refer you to social, medical, and supportive services in San Francisco. We can help you find services including: vision, dental, general medical, mental health, addiction treatment and recovery services, harm reduction programs, self-help programs, food, clothing, computer access and classes, transportation, employment services, Medi-Cal, and other benefits.
PHC plans to continue providing services through Drop In Services, Problem Solving support, Off-Site Services, and Virtual Support; our Service Facilitators remain available to support Participants. For needs that cannot be provided virtually, especially financial needs, such as through our mail services or HandUp Point redemption, we will make appointments directly with Participants.
