WHO WE ARE

Rising Up is changing the way San Francisco addresses youth homelessness. Each partner organization is shifting from working on its own interventions to collectively come together toward the shared vision of making youth homelessness rare, brief, and one-time. Our first proof point is our Rising Up goal of reducing homelessness for youth ages 18-25 by 50% by 2023. Rising Up is led by the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. Larkin Street Youth Services is the anchor non-profit institution. The following organizations are key players in the initiative.
