Project Initiatives

Funded by Tipping Point’s Chronic Homeless Initiative, SHI is supporting the first city-wide shared housing system in the country. Effective practices are being developed through intensive partnership networks, capacity-building workshops, experiential trainings and adaptation of tools and resources. Bay Area Community Services (BACS) partners with SHI in San Francisco to establish shared housing networks and continuous learning across housing & homelessness organizations at all levels.
