More than ever youth and families are struggling to pay for the basic need that is housing and keep a roof over their heads. Restoring this program allows the accessibility to a much much needed resource in our community.

Evelyn, supported: Restore Homey's ERAP funding

HOMEY (Homies Organizing the Mission to Empower Youth) plays a critical role in preventing displacement and stabilizing families in San Francisco’s Mission District. As rising housing costs and economic hardships continue to threaten the well-being of low-income residents, HOMEY provides essential rental assistance and housing support to ensure that families can remain in their homes and within their communities. Through financial aid for rent, eviction defense advocacy, and assistance with securing affordable housing, HOMEY helps mitigate the displacement of Black, Latino, and other vulnerable families who have long called the Mission District home. By working directly with tenants at risk of eviction, HOMEY not only provides immediate relief, but also empowers residents with the resources and knowledge to navigate San Francisco’s complex housing system. The impact of HOMEY’s rental assistance program extends beyond housing stability. By keeping families housed, HOMEY strengthens the economic and social foundation of the neighborhood, ensuring that residents can continue to contribute to and benefit from the rich, diverse community they have built.

If it wasn't for HOMEY I would've gotten homeless during the pandemic. Don't kill this program!

The impact of HOMEY on our community is big, and big important part of the services they provide is helping families to navigate the process of ERAP applications, this is very important because they serve a vulnerable population that need support due to language barriers, as well as cultural understanding, please don’t cut this program

After a severe epileptic seizure left me with a four-month recovery, Homey helped me stay in my apartment near my surgeons, which was critical to making a full recovery. Homey is a great resource for the city.

HOMEY helped me secure housing after covid when I moved back to the city to finish college at SFSU. Now I am a college graduate and I just moved out of that housing into my very first apartment! Thank you HOMEY!

Ashli, supported: Restore Homey's ERAP funding

I was in the hospital for seven months a few years back, and of course, was unable to pay my rent during that time. If it was for the help of the loving people at Homey's, I would have came out of the hospital, unable to walk, barely able to breathe, and with no place to go or live. Because of Homey's I was able to come back to my home and recover. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
