If you are homeless or will become homeless in a matter of days, Home & Hope might be able to help.

To be eligible for assistance from Home & Hope, a family must:

• Be currently homeless or facing eviction within a week
• Be at least one adult and one dependent child in the custody of the adult
• Must currently reside in San Mateo County, California (on the San Francisco Peninsula, from Daly City in the north to East Palo Alto in the south)
• Be willing to participate in the program and follow all program rules
• Meet certain other criteria relating to addiction, criminal records, domestic violence, etc.

If you feel you meet these qualifications and would like to enter Home & Hope's shelter program, you will first need to contact one of our referral agencies (listed below). You should speak to a social worker at one of the referral agencies, and ask about Home & Hope. They can arrange an intake. If there are no current openings, or if you do not qualify for Home & Hope, they will be able to suggest temporary resources or other programs that can help you.
