⁉️ Did you know that the average life expectancy for a chronically homeless woman is just 48 years old—decades less than the 83-year average for women with stable housing.

Community Forward SF provides shelter, transitional programs, and individualized support, meeting people exactly where they are. Every person deserves safety, stability, and the chance to thrive.

At just 22, Nala has already faced more than many do in a lifetime—foster care, homelessness, and domestic violence.

Earlier this year, they connected with Community Forward SF and, with support from their case manager Sincere, moved into their own apartment.
That stability has given Nala the peace of mind to focus on finishing school at City College and pursuing their dream of opening a daycare.

This is what it means to center care: stability, wellness, and hope. 💜

Today we pause to honor the lives lost on 9/11, the loved ones forever changed, and the bravery shown in the face of tragedy. May we continue building communities rooted in care, resilience, and unity.

Did you know? Less than 5% of San Francisco’s shelter and supportive housing sites are women-only.

That means far too many women are left without safe, dedicated spaces for healing and recovery.

At Community Forward SF, we’re creating change through A Woman’s Place shelter, transitional housing, and our 24/7 Drop-In Center for women. And we’re not stopping there—we’re advocating to expand gender-specific housing so more women can access the safety and care they deserve.

Every woman deserves a safe place to call home. 💜

You can help us make a difference by making a donation or volunteering your time. Follow this link to learn more: https://communityforwardsf.org/getinvolved

At A Woman’s Place, compassion is at the center of everything we do.

Survivors of domestic violence, those experiencing homelessness, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community are met with dignity and respect—because everyone deserves safety and care.

"The staff at A Woman's Place are some of the kindest people in the business...this is one of the rare occasions where an organization does it right."

Join us in helping us to ensure that we keep this vital support available: https://ow.ly/GhAA50WJ3xT
