Title

Beyond Homelessness

Description

1993 Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence - Silver Medal

Beyond Homelessness offers a comprehensive approach to homelessness in San Francisco through programs that provide food, shelter, social services, and housing. The larger of two multi-service centers, for example, offers 225 shelter beds, toilets and showers, and laundry facilities as well as a day-lounge with a 95-person capacity. Housed in a repurposed and renovated concrete frame warehouse, the center is a welcome alternative to traditional shelters. A smaller drop-in center is open 24 hours a day, and an outreach center located at the bus terminal offers counseling, benefits assistance, clothing, and mental and physical health referrals. Multiple hotel projects provide temporary and permanent housing along with support, including childcare and educational opportunities, to help residents achieve stability.

Beyond Homelessness programs are rooted in San Francisco’s 1989 Beyond Shelter plan, which aims to reduce the homeless population by assisting the homeless in finding needed services and permanent housing, acquiring and rehabilitating low-income housing, and stabilizing income through job training.
