Homeward Bound

Effective June 1st 2022, Homeward Bound will be sunsetting as a stand-alone program. Travel and relocation services will be fully integrated into HSH’s community-based Access Points. Any household experiencing homelessness who may need travel and relocation assistance to reunite or reconnect with a support system outside of San Francisco, will be able to access services through the Problem Solving Program at any of the HSH Access Points listed here.

Homeward Bound Information

Homeward Bound Testimonial:

Tanya* a mother escaping domestic violence with two young children came to San Francisco seeking a better life. She and her children spent five months at the Hamilton Family Shelter. Overwhelmed and struggling, she reached out to her mother in Georgia, who in turn contacted Homeward Bound for help. In a matter of days, Homeward Bound was able to get Tanya and her children safely on a Greyhound bus home to Georgia. Tanya called her Homeward Bound case manager from every state until she was reunited with her grateful mother. Once a client is reunited with friends, family or loved ones, Homeward Bound follows-up with phone calls and outreach.
