Understanding Our Structure and Funding

San Francisco SafeHouse (SFSH) was founded in 1998 in order to provide safe housing and supportive services to these women. It is a related organization of the larger SF Network Ministries Housing Corporation (SFNMHC), which owns our program sites and manages government grants for direct services like client rent and staff salaries.

But those funds are restricted—they can’t cover many urgent needs like emergency support, new program development, or operational flexibility.

That’s why donations made directly to SafeHouse are so critical. Your support gives us the freedom to respond quickly, meet clients where they are, and ensure no survivor is ever turned away.
