Abode Family

We believe that everyone should have a home. Since our founding in 1989, we have grown from a small organization sheltering a few dozen people in the city of Fremont to a regional agency offering innovative, successful housing programs and services for more than 15,000 people each year in Alameda, Santa Clara, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, San Mateo, Napa, and Solano counties. We are a nationally recognized leader in evidence-based strategies for ending homelessness for those most in need, using approaches such as Housing First, rapid rehousing, and supportive housing.

Our mission is to end homelessness by assisting low-income, un-housed people, including those with special needs, to secure stable, supportive housing; and to be advocates for the removal of the causes of homelessness. We partner with local cities and counties to place people experiencing homelessness into housing and help them maintain that housing by connecting them to supportive services. We administer or assist dozens of programs, through which we've helped thousands of children, families, veterans, transitional-age youth, chronically homeless individuals, and low-income people. We are dedicated to measuring our progress and reporting those results to our community, ensuring that we are making a real impact on ending homelessness in the Bay Area.
