Haight Ashbury Free Clinic

Description

During the social revolution of the 1960s, the Haight Street Free Clinic was established to help the thousands of young people on the street in the Haight Ashbury district in San Francisco whose lives were affected by drug and alcohol abuse, mental and physical problems. With nowhere to turn, they found treatment and support when traditional services turned their backs on them. Since then, the Clinics have grown to become one of the largest multi-service providers in Northern California, serving the most vulnerable and at-risk people in our community. Today, Haight Ashbury Free Clinics has a $15M budget; over 40 federal, state, and county contracts, and 160 paid staff and 500 volunteers over 7 locations throughout San Francisco.
