The 149 Mason Street project will work in collaboration with the San Francisco Department of Public Health (DPH) to target chronic homeless individuals and weave an array of support services around them to create housing stability, health intervention, prevention, and recovery.

 

Clients will be referred from the DPH via Access Points, and from cross referencing Glide’s Homeless Clients with the DPH’s list of chronic homeless.   It is assumed that the tenants will pay $300.00 for their studio units, with the remainder of the gross rent supported by a City local operating subsidy program.

 

The Program design will be based on an intensive case management model (ICM) with an infusion of behavioral and clinical health support.  Based on the Glide model of, “Unconditional Love”, the support services team will create a welcoming environment of empowerment with clear boundaries.
