Our multi-service agency has continually evolved to meet the changing needs of our community. During the Pandemic, we were there for more than 36,000 community members with food, rent relief, and other services. Today, we continue to help families and seniors avoid homelessness when facing eviction; provide counseling and support to families experiencing trauma; work with young people and schools harmed by violence; help people navigate the complex immigration system so they can earn the right to live and work here, and more. Our qualified attorneys, counselors and case managers take a strength-based approach to every situation. We use restorative practices. We are a nationally accredited, non-profit social services agency, serving the East Bay since 1935. All are welcome.
