Our mission is helping those most in need get off the street, achieve stability and establish permanent housing by providing compassionate, culturally sensitive services. Our 6 programs span a continuum of care of services providing drop-in, emergency shelter, transitional housing, residential substance abuse treatment for seniors, and permanent supportive housing as well as medical respite through a partnership with Department of Public Health. With a budget of nearly $10 million, comprised largely of government funding we employ 100+ employees and are looking to add strategic Board Members.

-A strong supporter of the organization's mission
-Ability to attend monthly board meetings in-person in downtown San Francisco as well as periodic fundraising or related meetings
-Effective interpersonal relationship skills including leadership and communication skills
-Fundraising experience desirable, but not required

Thank you for your interest!

Mission Statement

MISSION | Community Forward helps the most vulnerable individuals of SF get off the street, find comprehensive services, and achieve stability so they may thrive

Description

OUR ORGANIZATIONAL VISION
We envision a San Francisco where everyone who has lost the ability to care for themselves is given the support they need to gain control of their own lives. There will be no homeless on the street, those with illness and addiction will be cared for, and everyone will be supported along a path toward permanent housing and self-sufficiency.

OUR GOALS
At Community Forward SF, we strive to:

  • Extend a helping hand to every homeless person in the San Francisco who has lost the ability to care for him or herself.
  • Help the majority of our clients achieve stability and establish permanent housing.

  • Provide our clients with the best support possible through innovative, top notch programs that serve as a model to other care providers, extending our impact beyond our immediate community.
