children each year in their efforts to achieve stability and
self-sufficiency. Services include crisis intervention, homeless
prevention, emergency shelter, transitional housing, intensive case
management and therapy, job training, enriched infant care and
childcare, and permanent housing placement.
Access SF will work with Compass Community Services to identify (4)

in San Francisco. The nonprofits will be invited to participate in both
