What it says it does
Urban Angels SF (Urban Angels) is a not-for-profit organization with the mission to sustain the homeless of San Francisco while they are in transition from living on the streets to safe permanent housing. Our volunteers provide sustenance by delivering hot and cold food, water, clothing, and blankets and they help the transition by referring individuals to the organizations that provide the particular services that the individual needs. Urban Angels has a One-on-One program where volunteers work individually with our unhoused neighbors to help them take advantage of the many governmental, NGO, charity and individual resources designed to help transition from living on the streets to permanent housing. Individuals are shepherded through the process of qualifying for assistance to get into permanent housing and opportunities to receive treatment, support, counseling, guidance and empowerment.
