Abode Services is a nonprofit agency that provides an array of innovative programs to end homelessness throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in 1989, Abode has grown to a $29 million agency that provides housing and services to improve the lives of more than 4,400 adults and children each year. Abode operates over 30 supportive housing programs that keep close to 1,200 households in housing on any given night. A national leader in its field, Abode has consulted widely about permanent housing solutions, and its senior staff have been recruited to present nationally about its success in implementing housing strategies. It has received prestigious grants from the Charles and Helen Schwab Foundation, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, among many others. Abode also plays a critical role in 12 formal collaborative partnerships with more than 40 other public and private entities. Abode has worked toward its mission of ending homelessness for more than 25 years.
Abode will use an evidence-based, modified Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team model that includes community-based clinical services integrated with a flexible array of housing options, to provide permanent housing and supportive services for the most vulnerable members of the chronically homeless population. These services are designed to end the participants’ homelessness, increase income, and provide increased access to ongoing physical and behavioral health services. |
