ECS Housing Portfolio

Studies show that supportive housing is far more cost-effective than the use of high-end emergency room care, institutionalization, jail, and other ways of treating chronically homeless individuals. It also improves participants’ quality of life and helps them to end the vicious cycle of homelessness in their lives.

ECS is one of the Bay Area's largest, most comprehensive provider of supportive housing and homelessness services, and a leader in San Francisco's plan to create more supportive housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Our supportive housing includes on-site social, health, and employment services, particularly important for people with multiple barriers to successful, independent living. At all of the sites, we offer case management, mental health services, job counseling, community-building activities, and access to adult educational and vocational services.
