In Their Own Words...
“ [People] deserve to have a roof over their head. I think it would give more morale and more hope and faith in what's going on in their lives. I was one of the lucky ones that got housed real quick.”
Stephanie Baughman has been a regular at City Hope SF, a nonprofit in San Francisco’s Tenderloin, since 2018. When she first arrived in the city, she stayed at a nearby shelter and found solace at City Hope Cafe, where free meals and a supportive community provided a “breath of fresh air.” Now, in her own apartment after years of unstable housing, Stephanie appreciates the dignity City Hope offers to people facing addiction, homelessness, and social isolation. The organization serves residents “on the margins” and collaborates with local partners to connect them with essential resources. Learn more.
