Larkin Street Receives $325K to Support Youth Programs
We are honored to have received a grant from the Saint Francis Foundation, as announced in their latest press release highlighting community investments in vital healthcare and social services across San Francisco. It’s a privilege to be recognized alongside other impactful local nonprofits, and we’re deeply grateful for the Foundation’s support and belief in our mission.
Investing in Young People Experiencing Homelessness in San Francisco
Saint Francis Foundation’s continued support as a community partner reinforces the importance of long-term investment in young people experiencing homelessness. Their recognition in the press release is more than a mention—it’s a reflection of their commitment to creating a healthier, more equitable city for all.
Partnership Highlighted at 2025 Paving the Way Gala
In addition to this meaningful recognition, Saint Francis Foundation also joined us as Champion Sponsors at our 2025 Paving the Way Gala. Their board member, Lindsay Caldwell, shared powerful remarks on behalf of the Foundation, expressing solidarity and support for our shelter, housing, education, and workforce development programs.

Grant Recognition in Local Media
Their presence at the gala—and their ongoing partnership—remind us that real change happens when community foundations and service providers come together with shared purpose. In a time of growing uncertainty around federal funding, this kind of support is not only generous, but deeply impactful.
We’re also grateful to be featured in the Bay Area Reporter, which highlighted our $325,000 grant to support youth experiencing homelessness. The article notes how the funding will strengthen our shelter program—offering over 500 beds across 16+ sites—as well as our workforce development and education programs.
Gratitude for a Transformational Partnership
Thank you to Saint Francis Foundation for standing with us and uplifting our work. We’re proud to be in partnership with an organization that leads with heart and action.
