How would you feel if you didn't have a place to call a home?

At FESCO, we strive to ensure homeless families and their children feel at home in our shelters until they can find their own permanent housing.

Maintaining a house for up to 28 residents can mean a lot of maintenance and upkeep! We are fundraising for repairs in our transitional shelter. We have a small funding gap before we can repair the worn-out floors in each of the family units and replace some very old beds!

Fesco's mission is to support homeless families as they move from crisis to stability, end their homelessness, and find a place called home.

FESCO houses and serves families (over 450 people) every year in the Bay Area who need an extra hand in getting back on their feet. While residents stay at FESCO's shelter, they receive the support they need to find more permanent housing and employment to sustain their housing when they exit our program.

Success at FESCO:

• 90% of FESCO families exit the program with more permanent housing.

• 85% of FESCO families achieve economic stability through supportive services.

• At least 90 FESCO families receive intensive case management, including counseling, each year.

• At least 120 children at FESCO receive educational services including tutoring and school-readiness support.

• At least 15 parents receive weekly parenting courses on-site.
