On any given day in San Francisco,
roughly 8,000 people experience homelessness. The pathway that
individuals and families embark to this situation is as varied as people
themselves. People experiencing homelessness not only come from all
education levels, races and ethnicities, ages, family structures,
sexualities, and genders, but they also arrive at homelessness for a
variety of reasons, including eviction, health and medical changes, loss
of income, abuse, and abandonment.
Founded
in 1983, Episcopal Community Services of San Francisco (ECS) creates
innovative models for addressing homelessness that honor the innate
dignity of all people. ECS is San Francisco's largest provider of
supportive housing and homeless services. Its continuum of care includes
crisis intervention, supportive housing, senior services, workforce
development, and soon re-entry.
