Pioneering Innovation while Building Upon Existing Successful Services
Homelessness has been an ongoing situation in San Francisco for over 40 years. There have been very few break-through solutions that have only led to an increase in people without housing and suffering from mental illness/substance abuse. At HomeMore, we are pioneering innovation while building upon the existing successful services. Through our HomeMore Campus and Our 27 Step Journey, we believe we are providing an innovative and viable solution to an ongoing crisis.
Our 27 Step Journey
The HomeMore Project’s 27 Step Journey is what we believe is a viable solution to how cities manage the issue of homelessness. We truly believe that Our 27 Step Journey is a way to systematically change the homeless crisis that we are facing in San Francisco and all over the state of California. By Investing in Every Root Cause for Every Individual, we create a personal profile to understand what resources and care are required to assist each individual that comes to us. This separates us from other non-profits and the city programs because we are creating an all-in-one campus that will incorporate the personnel and resources that are needed based on an individual’s problems, history, and desires. We focus on the value of each individual to help them succeed and reach their potential. Everyone at HomeMore is incredibly passionate about helping others and committed to making this systematic change.

Our Housing Team will then work with community officials to ensure that these individuals receive adequate housing options that will coincide with their budget and career salary.
Graduation: The concluding aspect of our organization is the graduation and departure. The graduation will include a huge celebration at our Campus Plaza with all of our staff, professionals, graduating residents, current residents, and anyone else who would like to attend.
